Governing Document
Newark Evangelical Church Trust was established by a charitable trust deed on 16 February
1998 and is registered in England and Wales as a charity {number 1068885).
Object5 of the Trust
The charity was established by Newark Evangelical Church with the following Objects:
la)
To advance the Christian Faith
{b)
To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or
sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby
(c)
To promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes

Newark Evangelical Church is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship
at the church and to become part of the church. The Trustees maintain an overview of the
church programme and make suggestions on how the church programme can involve the
many people that live within our local community.
When planning activities for the year, the Pastors, Elders, and Trustees have considered the
Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular, the specific guidance on charities
for the advancement of religion. In particular, the church works to enable all people to come
to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and to live lives worthy of this high calling through:
Corporate and private worship; learning the whole council of God as it is taught in
the Bible and growing in faith and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. A
comprehensive teaching programme is planned and delivered for all age group5.
There is an emphasis on clear, relevant and expository Bible preaching as well as
topical teaching.
Provision of pastoral care for people living within the community
Missionary work and evangelism.
To facilitate this work, it is important that the Trustees maintain the fabric of the church
building. At present about ninety to a hundred people from the community attend church
services and other activities; however, the elders and Trustees would be delighted if many
more people attended church activities. The church building can accommodate about a
hundred and ten people; if more people from the communityjoined the church or became
regular attendee5 then alternative larger accommodation would be sought.
The Trustees are mindful that the church building is a useful asset within the community as
it has a large hall with numerous smaller rooms and other facilities. When community
groups approach the Trustees for use of the building, the Trustees usually make the building
available. Ever since the building was opened in 1995 the Trustees have sought to have the
building utilised to benefit the whole community.
The church seeks to be contemporary and comprehensive, and to provide benefits for all
sections of the community, including children, young people, ladies, mothers and toddlers,
families, elderly people, and the sick.

Activlties and Achievements
Review of Activlties
During the Year ended 31 March 2025 the charity continued to achieve its Objects. The
Trustees are pleased to report that the work of Newark Evangelical Church continues to
grow and prosper.
The Church has sought to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and our own generation within our
local community and throu8hout the World.
The Church has offered a range of services during the week and throughout the year that
our community has found beneficial and helpful. These services are arranged to facilitate
community needs, and they include:
Sunday morning at 10:30 am is usually our best attended service of the week
including people of all ages from teens to eighties from Newark and
surrounding areas. Hymns and Christian songs, both old and new, are sung.
Sunday morning at 10:45 am is when the children go off to the Sunday Club.
In this club we aim to teach our children faithfully from the Bible, lessons that
will stand them in good stead for the future. We learn through Bible
teaching, song and craft. We teach age-appropriate content for children from
4 to 11 using a variety of teaching material.
Sunday evenings at 18:00 pm is usually, a time of worship in song and prayer
followed by an exposition of the scriptures. On some Sunday evenings we
include communion.
CLAY is NEC'S Sunday afternoon church, youth group and is a great
opportunity for people in their mid to late teens and early twenties to meet

together, get to know each other better, make friends, have some fun but also
to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, informal sett7ng.
Mondays- The Ladies, Prayer Fellowship has been an important weekly
feature in the life of this church for many years. This is a group of women
from the Church who meet together to pray for the Church and its activities
within the community, and also for Christian activities elsewhere, including
both home and overseas missions.
Wednesdays-Toddlers. Each Wednesday morning during school terms the
church building is visited by very small children and their parents.
Wednesdays p.m.
The Meeting place is an informal time with crafts, games
and chat. Teas, coffee and cake are served and all are welcome. Each week a
short evangelical talk is given and there is an invitation, for those who wish to,
to discuss Christr'an matters further
Thursdays- Prayer and Bible Study. Thursday evening is our regular Church
Prayer Meeting and Bible Study, sometimes accompanied by missionary
reports with a Bible study talk. On some Thursday evenings we also have
communion, The usual (though not inflexible) pattern for Thursday evenings
is to have an emphasis on themes as follows, on different weeks of the
month:
1st Thursday: Mission Update and prayer meeting
2nd Thursday: Homegroups
3rd Thursday: Prayer and Communion
4th Thursday: Homegroups
5th Thursday (when there is one): Prayer and Bible Study
Fridays- Kids Club (Primary School Children) every Friday from 6 pm to 7.30
pm. Apart from School Holidays, Kids Club is at the NEC building every Friday
evenin8. Kids Club has Games, Sports, Quizzes, Movies, Theme nights,
Adventures, Solving problems, winning prizes and much more. The evening
caters for children of all abilities and there is always somethin8 for everyone.
After a time of activities or games, there are refreshments, sometimes songs,
and always finished off with a short time from the Bible.
Fridays- Xplorers Youth Club (High School aged Children) 7.30 pm to 9 pm.
Xplorers is essentially a church youth club running in Newark on Trent. It's for
kids who are in High school or are High school age. We meet every Friday (at
the NEC building) except School Holidays. Every evening is packed with
Games, Sports, Quizzes, Movies, Food, Chatting, and anything else fun we can
think of. It's a relaxed atmosphere with stuff that's suited for slightly older

young people. We provide refreshments at the end- or sometimes a full
dinner (depending on the nightl and finish with a short time around the Bible.
Saturdays- Prayer breakfast 8.30 to 9.30 am on the first Saturday of each
month, We meet together to pray for the outreach work of the church. Each
Saturday, weather permitting, we have a bookstall in Newark Market Place,
where free tracts and booklets are offered to the public. We also respond to
questions people may have about Christianity.
Men's Group . This group of men from the church began meeting on
Saturdays, monthly for fellowship, food And mutual encouragement
During school holidays there may be breaks in these programmes.
The church 15 available for weddings and funerals.
An annual holiday Bible Club is held each Summer for children from the
community of school age.
Other groups from the community use the church building on an occasional
basis.

all. There are toilets for the disabled, and a hearing aid loop for the hard of hearing. The
weekly services are available on Zoom and are recorded on You Tube
