Calvary Chapel of Harrogate Trustees report
This report was prepared by Michael Howard on 20 January 2023.
Objectives and Activities
The main function of our charity/church is to bring HOPE in times when HOPE is needed. We have meetings locally for church members were we bring HOPRE through the Scriptures. We seek to help people grow in their faith, HOPE and love for God and their fellow man. We also mirror this pattern of growing in faith and hope and love through the yearly local meetings and outreach mentioned above.
We have two major local events we hold each year, a live music and dance outreach called HOPENOW and a ladies retreat which is held in the North of England.
Internationally we are connected with an orphanage in Ethiopia and a Pastor in Nigeria through an annual Pastors conference.
One of our newest endeavours is helping the people of Ukraine.
Through the church and charity our daughters use their musical talent to bring HOPE to people wherever they go. they have a few songs on the major streaming sites.
Year at a glance 2022-2023
UKRAINE
As we are writing this the war in Ukraine is still going on. Since the war began on 24 February 2022, we have been going into the country bringing supplies to help the people through our many contacts in the country. So far we have made it to Ukraine with supplies over 18 times bringing over a total of over 6 tons of supplies. Supplies include clothes, medical supplies, tins of food, knitted clothing, canvass bags, blankets and a variety of other items to help the people and give them HOPE during this difficult and trying time.
Much of the items we bring over are by donations from Calvary Chapel of Harrogate as well as from other churches and ministries from all over. It is a blessing to bring the Hope of the Gospel by caring for the practical needs of others.
ETHIOPIA
We have been involved with Ebenezer Grace Children’s home for a few years now. We have taken teams of doctors and dentists to serve the children and people on the local community of Awassa, Ethiopia where the home is based. Another way we try and help is to raise awareness for the need of a multi-purpose building for the Director and his family along with some of the Orphans (their "children") who currently need a place to live. We have also gathered some builders who have come out to help as well.

NIGERIA
Mike teaches at a Pastors conference every April in Nigeria. He has been used, along with some other Pastors - to encourage and equip Pastors and leaders and the churches there. Mike tries to focus mainly on the HOPE of the Gospel through the grace of God.
LADIES RETREAT
The Ladies Retreat has been going strong and a great encouragement to those who come. We have seen ladies come to faith and ladies who have had their faith strengthened.
HOPENOW
Hopenow is a way that we can give back to the community as we offer the event free of charge and have bands and dancing along with kids activities. It is fun for everyone. We also use the week before as a time of encouraging youth who want to participate in a week long discipleship and time of fun and fellowship. We seek to give youth a fun filled week where they learn skills like ballon making and face painting and are at the same time built up in their faith, hope and love.
HARROGATE/LEEDS
The church in Harrogate is doing well. Mike feels like the teachings have been richer and deeper as he has sought the Lord for a greater work of the Lord in His life and also applying basic teaching principles to create a clearer and more applicational teaching. There seems to be a more concerted effort for people listening to implement Biblical truths in their lives.
We have started a study in Leeds and we are praying for God to meet us and lead us. We already have a few families coming who are excited about the prospect of a Calvary Chapel starting in Leeds.
Policies and Procedures
Child Protection Policy - Member with CCPAS. Checks have been done on everyone who works with children in our Sunday morning meetings.
We are also members with stewardship which helps charities and churches stay accountable and give advice if needed.
We have public liability insurance of £5 million with Congregational.

Michael Howard Chairman. 21 January 2024

Restricted funds comprise £ 7,141.12 . We will be using these funds to help build an extension to the Howard home at 9 Fairways Close which is used for church storage and meetings on a continual basis.
In the past, donations from church members comprised most of our income apart from the Ladies Retreat payments. However, since we have been going over to Ukraine, we have had income growth through the donations of other people and churches from within England and Ireland and America.
This has put us over the threshold of £ 25,000 causing the need to have our accounts independently reviewed.
All of our income to run the church including renting The Empress Pub in Harrogate we use for our Sunday Morning meetings to office supply needs to reimbursements for travel miles and supplies are paid out of funds from tithes and offerings of church members. Donations are carefully scrutinised by trustees to make sure that all funds are received from known and legitimate sources. At this time, all donations come from sources we are personally acquainted with. We also take due diligence seriously and only transfer funds to people we know and have met personally (e.g. Ethiopia and Nigeria).
