**United Church of God – British Isles AGM 15 September 2025**
## **Chairman’s report – Jason Godfrey**
Greetings! I would like to welcome everyone to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of the Charity - the United Church of God British Isles.
For the record, under Charity status the Church can function as a religious organisation enabling Us to pursue Our mission and commission in the regions of the British Isles. The Charity organises the day to day running of the Church through the CEO appointed by the National Council to look after the administration of the Church. In addition, other members execute several critical roles within this administration to deliver the Church’s aims.
I thank all who have been involved in the running of the Charity in many capacities to further the Church’s mission particularly, for example, in organising the Feast of Tabernacles and Family Camp.
I wish to thank all those who have served on the Council this year who have provided their time, effort and invaluable service to help achieve our collective goals. Finishing this year, the work of Sarah Bunker as Secretary and Denise McClean as Non-Executive member is certainly appreciated. Wai-Shan Kwok has taken on the role of Secretary transferring from Sarah Bunker.
We will welcome new Council members this year and will continue to encourage involvement, especially from for the younger members of the Church whose participation will ensure continuity and the dividends of success.
There are certainly challenges ahead but our aims are sure. We are involved in something started long ago - let us continue the work!
I will now hand you over to our CEO, David Fenney, to give you a more in-depth assessment of the functioning of the Church as a Charity.
## **CEO’s report - David Fenney**
The United Church of God in the British Isles continued to function through the July 2024– June 2025 year. During the year the Church held the Feast of Tabernacles at _The Prince of Wales Hotel_ in Southport; a summer family camp at _Dalesdown_ , Horsham, West Sussex; parttime office staff worked both in the office and from home. The work of the Church in preaching the Gospel has continued, with Internet advertising and literature request fulfilment.

- _2024-2025 outgoing mail_ , a total of 3,764 envelopes were mailed out, containing 7,507 items of literature; excluding copies of _Beyond Today + Supplement_ mailed commercially.
- _Internet advertising_ : The total cost of the Google ads in the year was USD$24,444, which was reimbursed to UCG _IA_ , at a cost to UCG-BI of £19,442.
- £287,400 total estimated annual income for the _2024-2025_ year.
- £295,513 total estimated annual expenditure for the 2024-2025 year.
- The Church’s principal sources of income in the year were: direct donations, £176,399; Holy Day offerings £79,853; Gift Aid refunds, £21,888. These accounted for about 97% of total income in the year.
- Wages were UCG-BI’s largest single expenditure item, at £66,041; with postage at £62,282; rent and utilities at £38,634; congregational hall hire at £34,860. These four items accounted for 68% of expenditure in the year.
- For the last four years UCG-BI has not requested a direct financial subsidy from UCG _IA_ , although we do receive from UCG _IA_ without charge, extensive stocks of printed literature.
- The _Supplement_ is written, composed, desktop-published, and printed commercially in the UK at UCG-BI expense.
- UCG-BI is essentially a volunteer organisation, including the work of the ministry and the National Council; in addition, UCG-BI had 6 part-time employees in the year.
**1. Church/local congregations/work of the ministry:**
- a. This area of the Church’s work accounted for **25%** of expenditure (30% previous year).
- b. All congregations have continued to be supported, with the ministry or other speakers present for in-person or _Zoom_ services wherever and whenever possible.
- c. _Zoom_ services linking Preston, Sheffield and Isle of Man congregation members with members elsewhere in the British Isles and beyond, have continued weekly.
- d. The 2024 Feast of Tabernacles took place at _The Prince of Wales Hotel_ in Southport, with _Zoom_ connections to members at home. By the end of the Feast, 192 attendees had registered their presence in person, 79 of whom were overseas visitors, mainly from the USA. The highest attendance was 189, recorded during the afternoon service
on the Eighth Day.
- e. The 2025 Spring Holy Day services took place in-person and over _Zoom_ .
- f. Average in-person monthly attendance figures for all congregations began to be submitted to MMS in Cincinnati in January 2024, at the request of the UCG _IA_ Council of Elders; in the 2024-2025 year the highest reported average in-person monthly attendance in the UCG-British Isles congregations was 170, and the lowest was 126.
- g. A website page with contact and other details for every congregation is being worked on.
- h. Overall, UCG-BI is dependent on the work of volunteers in all areas of its operations. The ministry of the United Church of God in the British Isles is essentially unpaid.
- i. Since 2020 members have been encouraged to send their Holy Day offerings to the Church office, and directly into the Church’s bank account if possible. This approach remains necessary due to the ever-growing challenge of finding convenient bank branches for congregational offerings to be paid into. For the three spring Holy Day offerings earlier in 2025, 20% of the total offerings came from three congregations, while the other 80% was received as direct donations from members.
- j. The Church continues to rely on the support of local leaders within our congregations. The ministry has continued to review existing and future leadership needs.
- k. A Family Summer Camp took place at _Dalesdown_ , Horsham, West Sussex in August 2024, attracting Church families from both the UK and several European countries.
- l. The newsletter _News & Events_ has continued to be published on an occasional basis and distributed to members both in the British Isles and to a sizeable list of recipients overseas who have an interest in, or a connection with, the Church in the British Isles. There were five issues of _News & Events_ distributed during the 2024–2025 year. All communications from the UCG _IA_ Cincinnati home office intended for Church members were forwarded in a timely manner.
- m. In addition to Sabbath services, various meetings and discussions took place by _Zoom_ during the year: ministerial, pastoral, National Council, Feast planning, personal counselling, midweek Bible studies, training sessions for speaking in Church.
- n. In December 2024 UCG _IA_ president Rick Shabi and his wife Deborah visited the London congregation en route to the European Leadership conference held near Amsterdam at the end of the year.
- o. Two ministerial couples from the UK attended by invitation the European Leadership Conference near Amsterdam in December 2024.
## **2. Proclamation:**
- a. This area of the Church’s work accounted for **47%** of expenditure (45% previous year).
- b. We have continued to distribute _Beyond Today_ magazine throughout the British Isles.
- c. The _British & European Supplement to Beyond Today_ magazine has continued to be published. The continuing efforts of Barbara Fenney as editorial coordinator and Jan Schroeder as production manager, together with the efforts of writers and reviewers, are much appreciated. This publication continues to include articles presenting basic biblical knowledge with a Christian-living focus. Our website _ucg.org.uk_ has PDFs of most issues of the _Supplement_ back to the January/February 2005 issue.
- d. The July/August 2024 issue of the _Supplement_ was its 25[th] anniversary issue.
- e. Circulation of _Beyond Today_ magazine and the _Supplement_ averaged 6,670 subscriber copies during the year, 6 issues: with a high of 7,001 and a low of 6,207. The number of Internet-only readers in the British Isles is not readily quantifiable.
- f. Internet advertising of Church publications continued throughout the year in the United Kingdom and Ireland, being undertaken on our behalf by the Media and Communications Services department in the UCG _IA_ Cincinnati home office, at UCGBI expense.
- g. Our historical magazine subscription renewal rate has never been higher than 30%, and since 2020 it has been in the range 3–10%, and in the 2024-2025 year averaged just over 4%.
- h. In response to ongoing Internet advertising, the office has continued to receive requests for booklets and Bible study aids. In the 12-month period July 2024 to June 2025, the office mailed 4,242 booklets and study aids – 56 different titles – to those who requested them, down from 6,854 in the previous year. The five most requested titles this year were: _The Ten Commandments_ , _You Can Have Living Faith_ , _The Book of Revelation Unveiled_ , _Is the Bible True? How to Understand the Bible_ . These five titles accounted for 55% of all booklet/study aid mailings. The most requested title (TC) individually accounted for 21% of all booklet/study aid mailings.
- i. The subscriber mailing address carriers for _Beyond Today_ and the _Supplement_ have continued to include ‘advertorials’ for related literature and for UCG _IA_ ’s _Beyond Today_ TV programme. Subscribers use the carriers to request literature that is offered; some returned carriers include comments that are included in the letters page of the _Supplement_ or are sent on to the Cincinnati home office. In recent years, the text of carriers has also been posted on the ucg.org.uk website, under the _News & Events_ section of the _About Us_ tab.
## **3. Administration:**
- a. This area of the Church’s work accounted for **28%** of expenditure (25% previous year).
- b. The continuing efforts of our office manager Jan Schroeder to support the office functions are much appreciated.
- c. The office, with both part-time employees, and volunteers who come into the office and who also work from home, has continued to meet the various demands placed on it.
- d. Mailing literature from the Church office continues to be a major task, although with a reduced level of literature requests to be fulfilled mailing operations went to every other week. The bulk mailing of the _Beyond Today_ magazine and _Supplement_ is contracted to a commercial organisation, _First Move_ in High Wycombe. Requests for new subscriptions to _Beyond Today_ magazine and back issue requests, are mailed directly from the Church office.
- e. Office equipment: ongoing upgrades to office equipment were made as required. In addition, we are grateful for the ongoing help and support of UCG _IA_ ’s IT personnel.
- f. UCG-British Isles continues to rent office space at Peterson House in Chalfont St Giles. This lease has been renewed for several years on an annual basis, with the current lease running to February 2026, which will be renewed again shortly.
- g. UCG-British Isles continues to rent a business unit in Warrington. We use this unit for storage of Church property, records, and equipment. The current 3-year lease for this unit runs to June 2026.
- h. For 2024–2025 UCG-British Isles did not request an annual _International Subsidy_ from UCG _IA_ . Along with budgetary data, UCG-British Isles and all international areas provided Cincinnati with requested extensive information, for review by UCG _IA_ ’s president and Council of Elders.
- i. Primus Accountancy in Golborne, Greater Manchester, reviewed the 2023-2024
accounts, and will shortly start work on the 2024-2025 accounts.
- j. Leases were renewed; the annual return to the Charity Commission was submitted; insurance policies were obtained or renewed; a package of information requested by UCGIA from all international areas was compiled and submitted; a business survey questionnaire from the ONS was completed and returned as requested.
## **Thanks!**
- I would like to thank the members and supporters of the Church and the Charity for their continued support, encouragement, involvement in the work of the Church.
I would also like to thank the home office personnel of UCG _IA_ , together with the Council of Elders and the administration, for their support, advice and sharing of ideas, for the _ucg.org_ website, and for printed literature supplies – _Beyond Today_ magazines, booklets, study aids, _Bible Study Course_ lessons, and other items – provided without charge to UCG-BI.
## **CEO’s Business Plan - David Fenney**
## _**“The mission of the United Church of God, an International Association, is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God in all the world, make disciples in all nations and care for those disciples.”**_
UCG-British Isles will continue to preach the gospel and prepare a people and will continue to place a high priority on finding, developing, training, encouraging, and mentoring leaders, speakers, and administrators. We will continue to use the skills, abilities, talents, and spiritual gifts of those God has placed within this Church – enhancing those skills where possible.
Our key challenges include the need to:
- a. Equip the saints for the work of the Church in terms of identifying, training, developing, and mentoring teachers and leaders from among those God has called to us.
- b. Inspire others to carry on the work of this present generation of volunteer administrators, that they in turn might contribute to our support structure at all levels.
- c. Foster a welcoming Church environment in our present and potential future congregations that will encourage the interest, growth and development of people who contact us in response to God’s calling and our preaching of the Gospel.
## **1. Church/local congregations/work of the ministry:**
- a. **31%** of the Church’s overall expenditure budget has been proposed for this area.
- b. The immediate challenges remain those of supporting our congregations; welcoming new attendees; continuing to use _Zoom_ to link with members at home.
- c. The Church continue to receive requests for information about services from both members and others who are remote from our existing congregations. Inviting such people to be part of our Church services via _Zoom_ provides us with an opportunity to interact with them.
- d. Stemming from a leadership training event in 2024, initiatives related to the use of social media and training in public speaking are being developed.
- e. Speakers’ Club began on 7[th] May this year with meetings every second Wednesday.
We adapted a US congregation’s Speakers’ Club manual for a _Zoom_ format. Currently we have 26 active members from England, Northern Ireland, Norway, and a guest from Italy, with an average attendance more than 21 per meeting.
- f. Congregational Bible Studies over _Zoom_ are continuing, usually on a fortnightly basis and with occasion breaks throughout the year.
- g. Ministerial and pastoral development remains essential, together with the encouragement and motivation of members to support the work of the Church. Member training that addresses congregational, administrative, ministerial, and pastoral needs must also continue.
- h. The Church will continue to encourage suitable individuals and couples to attend UCG _IA_ ’s training activities, as opportunities present themselves. Three members of the Bricket Wood congregation attended the leadership development weekend in Cincinnati at the beginning of this month.
- i. This year’s Feast of Tabernacles will take place at the _St George’s Hotel_ in Llandudno, with Church services, social get-togethers, activities for younger children and teens. Currently, registration is around 185, which includes over 50 overseas visitors. A _Zoom_ link to the services will be provided for those remaining at home during the Feast.
- j. A venue in Aviemore, Scotland, is being considered for the Feast of Tabernacles in 2026. Feast site selection and overall planning for the Feast remains a standing function of the ministry, in liaison with the National Council.
- k. A family camp activity took place at _Dalesdown_ , Horsham, West Sussex in August 2025. With the current demographics within our Church community, it is anticipated that similar activities will continue in the coming years.
- l. The Church needs to produce more regular member, co-worker, congregational letters and communications. Ideally, these would be produced either by personnel in the British Isles or by the adaption of equivalent communications from UCG _IA_ . Such letters and other information updates can be posted on the _ucg.org.uk_ website.
## **2. Proclamation:**
- a. **43%** of the Church’s expenditure budget has been proposed for this area.
- b. Our _Beyond Today magazine_ subscriber list in the UK and Ireland stands around 5,800 for the September-October 2025 issue.
- c. Our UK and Ireland subscriber list has fluctuated over time – historically, it has been as low as 1,500 and as high as 12,000. A large majority of our subscribers are neither Church members nor connected with the Church in any way. While explicit subscription cancellations are regularly received, they remain relatively low numbers overall and have not significantly increased in recent times.
- d. Maintaining and increasing that circulation level remains a priority. We will continue to use Internet advertising as our primary advertising tool and will continue to fund the UCG _IA_ Home Office to do this advertising on our behalf. In addition, we need to consider possibilities for increasing our renewal rate, which currently is around 3%.
- e. Church office personnel are working to provide current subscriber numbers and geographical locations in congregational catchment areas; this will allow local congregations to reach out – by letter or social media – to subscribers who may potentially be interested in attending a UCG meeting or church service.
- f. Video streaming allows ready access to UCG _IA_ ’s extensive platform of video tools: _Beyond Today_ television, _Magnified_ , Ambassador Bible College classes, sermons and Bible Studies. We will continue to advertise these tools in our mailing address carriers and on the _ucg.org.uk_ website. The National Council’s social media committee is
working to establish strategies for corporate, congregational, and individual use of social media of behalf of UCG-BI.
- g. Should UCG _IA_ publish any new booklets or study aids during the year, we will make copies available to our members and advertise them to our overall mailing list.
- h. The subscriber mailing address carriers for the _Beyond Today_ magazine will continue to carry no-cost ‘ads’ offering literature or highlighting UCG _IA_ ’s video content, with adapted content from the carriers continuing to be posted on the _ucg.org.uk_ website.
- i. Formal written material – articles for the _Supplement_ , mini-advertorials for mailing address carriers, blogs for the _ucg.org.uk_ website – continues to be needed in the form of concise, yet challenging inspiring and encouraging, biblically-based Christianliving material for both the ‘un-churched’ and the ‘mainstream-churched’ audiences. Writing skills will continue to be encouraged, developed, and enhanced.
## **3. Administration:**
- a. **26%** of the Church’s expenditure budget has been proposed for this area.
- b. Concerning office workload generally: the Peterson House office is still a part-time work environment, with personnel typically working three days per week.
- c. Office personnel, including the CEO and Treasurer, will continue to support activities such as: Database maintenance; Accounts records and bill-paying; Donations and Holy Day offering record keeping; Website content management and maintenance; Safeguarding policies, procedures, and record-keeping; Payroll and associated matters; Gift Aid and associated record-keeping and claims.
- d. The office IT equipment requires a project of work, to replace elderly equipment, to enhance backup arrangements, and to allow additional remote access by staff working from home. In addition, upgrades to office systems in UCG _IA_ ’s Cincinnati home office may require corresponding updates to UCG-BI office systems.
- e. Both UCG _IA_ and the UCG-BI National Council require that the Church functions in compliance with various policies and procedures: for example, policies for personnel, travel and subsistence, health and safety, safeguarding. While UCG-BI does function in compliance with such policies and procedures, ongoing work is needed: (1) to keep our policies up to date, (2) to keep our personnel up to date with sensitive Churchwide matters such as safeguarding. These topics are overseen by the National Council.
- f. The National Council is currently reviewing and updating the formal Strategic Plan for UCG-BI; this work will need to involve the wider ministry in due course.
- g. Particularly for functions such as safeguarding, training of suitable Church members is needed on an on-going basis. For safeguarding, the Church will make use of the seminars and courses that are offered by _thirtyone:eight_ , of which UCG-BI is a member, and which supports us in our _Disclosure and Barring Service_ checking needs.
- h. The _ucg.org.uk_ website needs ongoing enhancement with topical content, together with Church news, local sermons, and other messages.
- i. UCG-BI has not requested a direct financial subsidy from UCG _IA_ for the 2025-2026 year. The non-financial subsidy we receive from UCG _IA_ in the form of literature stocks sent to us without charge is most welcome.
- j. General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), work has been underway to remove old data from our database and to implement enhancements to our record-keeping and records storage facilities. We have been and will continue to encourage the use of corporate email addresses by all those who are involved with working with the Church’s data records in their various forms.
- k. The current lease of Peterson House in Chalfont St Giles will expire in February
2026; office staff will arrange another lease extension. In coming weeks and months, the office will undergo repainting of internal windows, replacement and upgrading of light fittings, and removal of redundant telephone-related wiring.
- l. The current lease of the Warrington storage unit will expire in June 2026; while an extension is anticipated, a review of the Church’s storage needs and the location to best meet those needs will need to be undertaken.
- m. In the light of the UCG-BI governing Constitution, current office processes and procedures, a review of “bank signatories”, level of reserve funds, accounts for those reserve funds, online access to all accounts, needs to be undertaken and upgrades made where necessary.
## **Conclusion**
Despite the dramatic cultural changes going on all around us almost daily, the Church’s mission or work assignment remains unchanged.
That mission is to preach the established and unchanging gospel; to make disciples, to baptise and teach them; to maintain our physical and ethical foundations, and to keep our spiritual equipment in constant readiness; to press on with the work our sponsor wants to find us ‘so doing’ when He comes.
One day our current work will be completed, a voice will have called out saying “well done, good and faithful servant”. But that will not be the end of our work: having proved ourselves, we will simply be reassigned to ongoing aspects of our Master’s family business.
Until then, let us press on with our Master’s current work.

## British Isles, United Church of God Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of British Isles, United Church of God ’ For The Year Ended 30 June 2025 eee
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of British Isles, United Church of God (the Trust) for the year ended 30 June 2025. .
;
## Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a ‘body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or . . : 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
