Management: -
The management of the Church is by a Core Leadership team, which meets formally bi-weekly when possible.
Activities: -
Due to COVID 19 restrictions the church activities were moved online where possible to enable contact to continue.
The Church operates from its freehold premises in Marsh Lane, West Bromwich where the regular Sunday and mid-week services take place.
All these are open to everyone, providing they are compliant to our abuse policy, which covers everyone of whatever age, colour or creed.
Other activities apart from the religious meetings include a weekly Parent & Toddler group; one evening class for 7 to 11-year-old children & one for 12 to 16 year olds.
Other special meetings are held such as Harvest Festival and Carol Services
A youth mentoring programme was established to connect with older teens in the area.
Life groups have been established in several homes where church members can meet together in smaller groups & invite friends & neighbours to an informal time together where closer bonds can be encouraged.
Church refurbishment & other work: -
Refurbishment of the Church, first built in 1932, continues to take place as funds allow, bringing the
whole building up to a good standard. The work is mainly carried out by volunteers, except for work controlled through legislation or beyond our capabilities.
A portion of the roof was repaired.
Discussion continues to take place regarding outreach to the people who already attend the church for activities and in the local area covered by the church.
We continue to make contributions of well over 1/10th of our income to various Missionary and Community needs.
