LIVING FAITH BIBLE CHURCH

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING 31[ST] DECEMBER 2025

The Living Faith Bible Church is constituted by Deed of Trust and is a Registered Charity. Number 1063866.

Its address is at 57 Marine Tower, Abinger Grove, Deptford, London SE8 5UY.

The Charity’s Trustees during the year to 31[st] December 2025 were:

Rev. Emmanuel Onotota Chairman Mr. Bamidele Odebode Mrs. Rachel Onotota Pastor Sydney Ahamefula Mrs Adebunmi Ikpefuran Secretary

The object of the Charity is to advance the Christian Faith in accordance with the statements of Beliefs; to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick, and to relieve the distressed; to promote and fulfil other charitable purposes beneficial to the community in London, and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world, as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.

To meet its objectives, the charity meets for Christian Worship Services On Sundays, Teaching and Meetings on Wednesdays, and Prayer Meetings on Fridays. It also held special meetings and other social events such as cinema outings, golfing for youths, Fun-Time in the Park for the whole family and members of the community were invited and attended these socials.

At the moment the Charity is still hiring a hall to hold these meetings.

The Charity is dependent on its members for funding to help meet her objectives. To this end £33849 was raised from which over £17335 was given by the Charity to help advance the Christian Faith both here in the United Kingdom and in other parts of the World, and to meet our other objectives.

The Charity continues to distribute Christian literature in the city where it is registered. Furthermore, the Charity was able to continue to give funds to other United Kingdom based Charities in their missionary work both in the UK and other parts of the world that meets our objectives.

The Charity was also involved with the other faith based initiative and activities arrange for the communities where we serve. The Charity also provided from its Benevolent Fund help to members in the church that are in need due the increase in cost of living.

Unspent income reserves as at 31[st] December 2025 were equivalent to twelve months of normal operating expenditure, which is above the approved level of six months, unspent income reserves. This position is being maintained. The Trustees consider that it is adequate to meet our objectives, and for the size of the Trust.

The Charity has no plans at the moment for a major capital project but this position is constantly being reviewed. It will continue to raise its funds from its members and will also continue to work closely with other local, national and international agencies to advance the Christian Faith through missionary giving.

There are no serious incidents or other matters relating to the Charity over the previous financial period that we should have brought to your attention but have not.

Rev. Emmanuel Onotota, Chairman On behalf of the Board of Trustees.
