comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts a 'true and
fair view. and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any malerial respect the requirements

accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met: or

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31"JANUARY 2025
The Church Council (CC) of Sheldon Community Church (SCC) is committed
to enabling people of all ages to find faith in God and become part of our
church community.
Ob'ectives
When planning our activities for the year, the CC have considered the Charity

guidance on charities for the advan￿ment of religion.
In accordance with our Constitution, SCC'S purposes (or objects) for the
benefit of the public are:
1 . To advance the Christian Faith
2. To relieve sickness and financial hardship, and to promote and preserve
good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind
including through the provision of counselling and support
3. To advance education in such parts of the United Kingdom (UK) or the
world as the CC from time to time may think fit.
Activities
At SCC, we purpose to equip and empower church members to live out and
share their faith through:
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their
knowledge and trust in Jesus
Pastoral care
Community provision; missionary and outreach work
Our weekly Family Service incorporates worship, spiritual encouragement and
ministry, whilst opportunities are provided for prayer. 'Glow Kids, facilitates an
age-related environment for children to worship and learn from the Bible.
Communion is taken on the first Sunday of the month. All are welcome to
attend SCC services.

Our young people are encouraged to actively serve in SCC. both practically
and spiritually. They have enjoyed social events, combined worship services
with other youth groups organised by Assemblies of God (AOG) and
Birmingham City Mission (BCM). and attended a summer camp.
The CC value Safeguarding as an important characteristic of our culture.
Through our Policy, regular training and updates. we are able to positively
communicate this principle to our church community.
'Shared Interest Groups, provide our church community with space to build
personal relationships, be accountable and grow spiritually together. 'Party in
the Park, during the summer, annual conferences and social activities for all
ages compliment pastoral care.
Helping those in need is an important demonstration of our faith. This ranges
from providing hampers to families within the Sheldon community, to packing
shoeboxes and sending them to children around the world for Christmas.
SCC continues to partner with several charities. disaster relief agencies and
missionary organisations in the UK and around the world, in alignment with
our Missions Policy. As well as belonging to AOG GB, SCC remains a member

ensure we are able to function as a vibrant church community.

our church.
