The Trustees are pleased to report a further year of good progress and service in the life of the church. We continue to be grateful for the work of Pastor Graham Forbes who is ably supported by his wife Melinda. It has been encouraging to see more Spanish locals joining the fellowship.
The services and meetings are well supported by the locals as well as holiday visitors and we are pleased that South Tenerife Christian Fellowship fulfils a most helpful and significant function in Los Cristianos. The introduction of “Breeze” technology means that visitors from different countries as well as Spanish people can enjoy the services in their own languages.
Considerable improvements have been carried out to the church premises during the year including repairs and decoration which have enhanced the internal appearance of the building.
The enclosed annual accounts to 30th September 2025 continue to show a solvent position for which the Trustees and members of the church are appreciative. We are thankful for the faithful giving of the members and friends of the church. We continue to look forward with confidence to the ongoing ministry of STCF.
