ANNUAL REPORT OF
ALL NATIONS CHURCH
(Continued)
Vision and Purposes Worship
The Sunday celebration is both in person and online, live-streaming straight to Facebook page. The services produced have been well received by the congregation and has been accessed by many others outside of the Tees Valley area. We thankful for all those who take part in the production of the online services for their time, effort and video presentations.
Belonging
We welcome all to call ANC home and not only attend regularly but also serve, pray and give to see God’s Kingdom established and extended. We suspended our Life Groups meetings due to ill health of leaders. Although this happened, as part of the church strategy to provide discipleship, community, pastoral care and encouragement, We started various groups to oversee different aspects of the church functioning. We started a decision making group, a reaching out group, a welfare group. Also to increase the sense of belonging, roles of way to serve has been delegated. By doing all this, it means that roles / responsibilities are carried out by many.
Discipleship
As a church we have used our Sunday celebrations as a primary avenue for discipleship. The new groups mentioned in belonging are essential not just in deepening fellowship and community in the church but as a place for people to grow. During 2023 prayer activities continued every first Friday of the month.
Ministry
The church is committed to releasing people to fulfil their God given ministry by helping them to discover their God given shape. Members continue to volunteer in ministries outside of the church, especially in the Moses Project (work with men struggling with life limiting addictions), Woodham Christian Centre (elderly care provision) and children’s activities. The church has also continued to give generously through its welfare fund to those in need both in the church and in the community.
Evangelism
The church used the recognised calendar dates to good effect with special emphasis on
Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Easter, Remembrance Sunday and Easter. The church’s online presence has acted in an evangelistic way for many who access it who aren’t members of the church or of any church.
Operational Running
The church has continued to maintain financial viability whilst seeking to fulfil the purposes, mission and vision that God has called us to.Gift aid claim for 2023, process had commenced but not received back to the church. This is currently being sorted as much of this surplus will be invested to upgrade and install the necessary technology to improve and increase our in person celebration, online presence and access for the community.
We are grateful for the generosity and favour towards the church, and the sacrificial giving of many within the fellowship despite the cost of living crisis that still affects everyone.
Conclusion
In many ways it has continued to be a challenging year the church has experienced, due to previous pandemic and cost of living crisis. However, we also continue to be expectant and excited at the challenges that lie ahead. It is with thanks that we are able to present this report with the recognition that without the blessing of God and the hard work of the members we would not be in the position we are, in the pursuit of the out working of God’s call upon us as a church.
