## Report of the Charity Trustees for Park Evangelical Church 

The aim of the Church is to worship and serve God. We preach Jesus Christ as crucified, risen and Lord; seek to build up Christians in their knowledge and love of him; endeavour to make him known to others and try to share his love in practical ways. 

Activities of the Church during 2025 have included Sunday services, Sunday school,  Bible  study  and  prayer,  care  work,  evangelism,  community  groups, missionary  support,  a  mums  and  toddlers  group,  youth  clubs,  a  monthly community  meal  and  social  events  to  which  friends  and  colleagues  can  be invited. 

The church also continues to support church services at Hope Church Trent Vale run by one of our pastors. 

We also have a fellowship fund to support members of the church family who are struggling  financially,  by  providing  shopping  vouchers  and  financial  support where necessary. 

The church supports local organisations working with ex-offenders and addicts. Additionally,  the  church  building  is  available  for  use  by  local  residents  and organisations. 

The Church congregation has continued to be supportive of the local Food Bank in Stoke on Trent.
