REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES TO MEMBERS OF THE CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST FOUNDERS PARISH
The Trustees present their report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024. Celestial Church of Christ Founder's Parish is a registered charity with the overall mission of spreading the Christian faith, alleviating poverty and reaching out to those that are marginalised in the society at large. We started the year with a spirit-filled service with the motive of continuous soul-winning for the Kingdom of Christ.
We operate annual women convention to encourage women of all ages to come together to share life experiences on living the life of a Christian. This year’s convention attracted notable women and all the participants gave very positive feedback.
We did not relax in our charitable activities and the year’s harvest celebrations were a huge success with the children of God expressing satisfaction with the organisation and outcome of the entire week programme.
We shall in the coming years begin to look into seeking a permanent place of worship for the Lord in line the wishes of our members
