Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Faith Chapel TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Throughout 2023, the Pastorage was able to reach out to church members to keep morale high and support in prayers and other welfare needs. Consequently, the Welfare Fund was highly utilised compared with priors’ years in alleviating the needs of vulnerable members. The feedback showed members were appreciative of the love and support received.
During the year, we sadly experienced the sudden death of one of the trusteeswho was the Board’s acting chairman. He was also the assistant to the parish pastor and head of the workers in the church. It was a tough period for members and friends of the church and the Holy Spirit has helped us in bearing this great loss.
There was great improvement in the online service via Zoom and the church witnessed increased attendance both for physical attendees and those joining the service online. This invariably slightly increased the church attendance compared to prior years.
One major achievement during the year was the installation of the multi−media video camera which improved the quality of the church online service where various section of the church building could be highlighted at the same time as the pulpit area. The sound quality was also greatly enhanced.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
-
Increase number of partnerships with UK charities, though we presently support Compassion UK in children education.
-
Greater emphasis to be placed in supporting missions’ fields in improvised communities in the world.
-
Seminars, workshops, and training that will cut across all spheres of living such as employability, education, health, finances, marriages etc. will be organized for the local community as target audience.
-
Scheduled visitation of the homeless, hospitals, nursing homes; and inmates in prisons.
-
Establishment of a new parish for the advancement of the Kingdom of God is still on− going and ministers will be trained with the requisite skills and the church doctrine.
-
The church will continue to operate in a risk− free environment within the church building and its premises to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the users by carrying out a risk assessment of its processes, premises and procedures.
-
Purchase of a new ULEZ compliant church van

Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Faith Chapel INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Faith Chapel
I report on the accounts of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Faith Chapel for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under s.145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under
s.145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a 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 do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; have not been met: or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
