Objectives and activities
The principal purpose of the charity is to advance the Christian religion by holding services and revivals. In addition, to change the face of gospel be leading the churches of Christ worldwide back to the foundation of the apostles. Other objectives by the church are to relive poverty, sickness, and distress in accordance with Christian principles.
To achieve these objectives, the church provides a variety of activities which are open to the membership and to the community in general.
The Church regularly provides public services of Christian worship every Sunday at 08:30am to 12:30pm. From time to time, occasional services are advertised on the church notice boards or website. The church also provides full children's programme during morning services popularly known as Sunday School. The church thrives to be friendly to community and welcomes anyone willing to attend any other services.
The church recognises the need to have small groups of members in church so as to welcome new members. These smaller groups meet regularly to explore various steps been taken to help new members settle into the church.
A varied programme of social activities including, for example, walks, talks, meals, arts and crafts, music, outings a sport, is arranged throughout the year to encourage friendship, mutual support, and care among the membership and anyone who would like to join them.
The Church continue to encourage bible studies amongst its members by arranging weekday evenings.
In addition to activities and services run directly by the church, we seek to support the local community by partnering with foundations such as Cancer for UK, Safe the children and Gosh children's charity.
The Trustees have read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public.
The church operates systems to ensure that all people working with children, young people, and adults at risk are appropriately vetted with reference to the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Achievements and performance
The year 2025 has seen a significant growth and development in the life of our fellowship. Our church community is one of considerable diversity, and we are pleased that it continues to attract people from a variety of ages, ethnic groups, backgrounds, spirituality, and theological stance. Furthermore, the Online Church service continues to grow and has attracted wide interest in the local community.
Under the guidance of God and continue support of members, staff, volunteers in the church congregation, the church flourishes. Pastor Wumi Adeleke is a branch pastor, whilst Deacon and Deaconess are responsible for assisting in preaching to the members and coordinate the activities in the church especially Sunday service. We are grateful for the guidance and support of the overseas ministry in Nigeria.
Sunday Morning services have continued to provide a central focus for the community, bringing together the many members of the church family in worship, and thus providing a foundation for our activity throughout the week. Generally, on the first Sunday of each month we have been holding "all-age" services, when the children and young people remain in the Church and the format and activities are geared towards involving everyone present including those without a Christian background.
Fewer people attend weekday bible studies, taken over the year, the numbers have remained stable.
We are grateful to our band members who lead the musical aspects week by week, to the technical teams who look after sound and video, to stewarding and catering volunteers. We continue to encourage others to join any of the groups to showcase their much-needed skills to the Church. We have also started a series of sessions including all those involved in supporting services, to worship and pray together, and to talk about practical ways in which we can support one another and better serve the congregation.
We have encouraged members to find other ways of drawing closer to God such as praying weekly on Tuesday mornings, organizing spiritual retreats, prayer ministry, concerts, as well as engaging with other churches in the community. Every member is encouraged to contact members in the church on a regular basis to find out about their well-being.
As we continue to grow from strength to strength, we are considering opening branches nationwide in the United Kingdom. The first branch under our consideration is Manchester in the Northwest of England.

Financial review
Reserves Policy
The assets of the General Fund are needed for the day to day running of the church, and this is in effect the fund from which all the general liabilities are paid, and where all the undesignated and unrestricted income is placed. It basically covers the working capital of the church. The policy is normally that the balance in the General Fund should cover 4-5 months of budgeted expenditure.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the church not to hold investments over and above that required for the day to day running of the church, as stated in the Reserves Policy. Restricted Funds that have been given for specific causes and are held in the church's bank account.
Incoming Resources
Offerings and tithes including donations for church building projects were £ 93,356 representing an increase of 23% from last year - £ 75,951. Other income received from Giving UK totals - £1,947. The total of other unrestricted income is detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities.
The church remains grateful for all these monies received but also recognises that financial giving is only a small part of the generous provision to the church. We acknowledge and are thankful also for the numerous "volunteers" resources which by nature remain unquantified in the accounts - without this significant resource, it would not be possible for the church to operate as it does today.
Expenditure
Expenditure on charitable activities has increased to £ 73,164 (2024: £40,981) resulting from the increase in wages & salaries to £23,174 (2024: £7,742). This increase is due to the increase in working hours of the current staff been employed. Also, the church paid £12,679 during the year for the hiring of Manchester conference hall.
The church continues to make donations - £1,104 to various charities such as great Ormond Street hospital, cancer research UK and save the children.
Establishment costs continue to increase - £20,774 (2024: £17,140) due to increasing costs incurred in hiring of the congress - £7,411 and rent & rates paid -£13,363.
Risk Management
The Finance Team reviews on an annual basis area of financial risk to the church and proposes suitable policies and procedures to minimise these risks. Current policies cover cash handling and expenditure approval.
Public Benefit
The trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider that the charity complies with the requirements.
Conclusion
In summary, we continue to be grateful for God's provision and to trust Him for provision for the future and our faithful stewardship under his direction.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 30 April 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 21, BLAKE CLOSE, RAINHAM, ESSEX, RM13 8BE, UNITED KINGDOM.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Year ended 30 April 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable, and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended.
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
12
IGEM CHRIST COVENANT CHURCH
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 30 April 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - 25% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
13
IGEM CHRIST COVENANT CHURCH
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 30 April 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
