Trustees’ Annual report on Crown of Glory Church Receipts and Payments Statement for the year ending 30[th] April 2025
We, the trustees of the Crown of Glory Church do submit the charity’s annual report for the year ending 30[th] April 2025
Our governing document is a constitution adopted on 24th February 1998.
Our charitable objects continue to remain the same: 1. Advancement of the Christian faith in the United Kingdom 2. Relief of the poor, sick, needy and aged. The Church continues to meet the needs of its members and the general public, which is to preach and teach the gospel of Christ in truth. In so doing the Church has worked hard to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the members and the general public. We do so by holding meetings in rented premises on each Sunday in our London branch. Our Wolverhampton branch is still closed. We will reopen the branch as soon as it becomes practicable enough to do so, so we can meet the church’s outreach goals. It is important to declare that our meetings and activities are open to people of any racial, cultural or ethnic origin. Throughout the year we have had to rely on the efforts of volunteers who have helped and supported the church’s activities in many ways, for example, witnessing to people during evangelism, setting up instruments for worship. Also, our trustees give up their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration.
This year, our annual convention was held by means of an internet radio. It was an awesome experience and it attracted a very large congregation.
Our cash funds at the bank amount to £23,973.28, all of which is unrestricted funds. These funds are held to enable us to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may come our way, as well as hold it in reserve for future development.
Our main sources of income continue to be members’ donations in the form of tithes, offerings and HMRC repayment claim.
We look forward to the year ahead in earnest expectation of sustainable progress.
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees.
