Our church con8re8ations are culturally diverse, and we work hard to provide activities that appeal to people from all walks of life.

The acquisition of this building is exciting and opens the door to building lastin8 relationships with the local community. The con8re83tion is set to move In January 2026. PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES Funding for Empower Global comes principally from the donations of those who attend Family Church.

The charity does not use a professional fundraiser, but employs a bid writer. No complaints have been received in relation to f undraising. Individuals who attend Family Church make regular financial donations to support the work of the charity and donors are encouraged to sign a Gift Aid declaration in order to maximi5e their giving. Empower Global has been the 8r3teful recipient of several 8rants made by local authorities and businesses seekin8 to support our community work. RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES All of our congregations are part of their local community, We are pleased to be able to invest in events and projects that serve the people in those communities and strengthen the relationships we've formed. In Portsmouth, we continue to offer our Tots and Toys group that runs on Monday mornings during term time. Me55y Church runs on the third Wednesday of the month. At Christmas, our team provide Christmas hampers to local familles in need. This includes a traditional Christmas dinner, glfts for all the family and a bag of treats.

The trustees note the significant reduction in funds at the close of the financial year, largely due to the significant amount of Baby Basics stock that has been distributed throughout the year. None of the Directors/Trustees were paid during this period. No individual member of stsff is in receipt of stipend/salary in excess of £60,000, including all payments relating to the provision of a suitsble manse, where appropriate. Re5erve5 Poll The current policy requires the equivalent of 8 weeks of expenditure to remain in reserves, and the Church has long held a healthy surplus to this requirement. This is reviewed annually and in line with any stipulation from our mortgage provider, Kingdom Bank.

This includes providing meaningful worship services and effective Bible teaching. running appropriate courses to equip Christians in their daily lives., helping Christ13ns to develop mutually supportive friendships through small group activities; providing opportunities to get involved in the charity's community and global outreach; and training and supporting church leaders. We want to have a positive impact on our communities and will continue to provide services to our local communities, networking with other organisations wherever possible.

Leadership After nearly 28 years of pioneering and leading Family Church, Andy & Gina Elmes will be stepping down from their role as Senior Pastors at the end of January 2026. and handing the leadership of Family Church to Steuart and Carla Payne. This is a significant moment in the journey of the church, filled with emotion, reflection, and anticipation. We are confident that this next chapter will be filled with fresh vision, strength. and fruitfulnes5 under Steuart & Carla's leadership, called bv God to lead Family Church into its next chapter. The trustees are conf ident in their leadership and excited about the next season, whilst recognising the legacy left by Pastors Andy & Gina and all that they have sown into the organisation. Multi-congregatlonal Church In support of our desire to provide local communities with a place of worship reflecting the style and values of Family Church, we launched a new congregation in Southsea in October 2024. This involved a large commitment from the Portsmouth congregation, and we saw church members stepping up to take on new voluntary roles. As we equip and send people from Family Church to open new congregations, we provide numerous opportunities for church members to be involved in Christian ministry. Alongside the numerical 8rowth of our con8re8ations, we are continuing to increase the number of small groups that run durin8 the week. Our Connect Groups help to maintain meaningful friendships amongst individuals who are part of our wider church community. As a member of the Assemblies of God Great 8ritsin, we 5UPPOrt the drive to see more Churches planted across the country and are considering how best we can facilitate this. Community Projects We will continue to work in our communities, aiming to develop our community and outreach programmes. We will continue to use our buildings in Portsmouth, Gosport, Havant, and Waterside to run activities and projects that enrich our communitie5, as well as hire local facilities when needed. Through Family Church Global Outreach and Overland Missions, we will continue supporting overseas mission projects and individuals involved in relief work throughout the world. Suitable Premlses for all Con8re8atlons For the long-term stability of the charity, we are committed to the acquisition and development of premises for all of our congregations. Starting with a local 'hub' for each congregation and moving tQW3rd premises that provide enough auditorium space for Sunday services. Our recent Empower Centre Waterside project is a great example of this in action. Empower Global12024125 Annual Report & Financial Statements Page 8
