Report of the Trustees for the Year ended 31 March 2025
The Board of Trustees is pleased to present their annual report of the Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 under the Charities Act 2011, together with the financial statements for the year and confirm that the latter comply with the requirements of the Charities Act, the Trust Deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and reporting by charities’ issued in March 2005.
Structure, Governance and Management
Structure
The Charity is made up of assemblies which are spread throughout the country. Each assembly has an elected leadership which oversees the day to day running of that assembly. The church is divided into four geographical regions, namely the Northern, Southern, Midlands and Central region. Assembly Board members within a region, form the Regional Workers Council (RWC) for each region. Each respective RWC appoints a Regional Committee, which oversees the running of the region. Members of the Assembly Boards constitute the National Workers Council (NWC). It is from the NWC that the national leadership who are referred to as National Apostolic Committee (NAC) is elected and appointed. The local (assembly) leadership is accountable to the regional committee who are in turn accountable to NAC.
Governing documents
The Charity was established by a trust deed on the 17[th of] March 2003
Governing bodies
The Charity is governed by the National Workers Council (NWC) which has powers according to the constitution of the AFMIM (UK). The National Workers Council is responsible for:
-
Appointing the members of the spiritual, administrative, and strategic leadership board – the National Apostolic Council (NAC).
-
Appointing the Board of Trustees
-
Policies and procedures for induction and training of Trustees
-
Organisational structure
-
Relationships with related parties.
Recruitment and Training of the Trustees
It is from within the Regional Workers Council (RWC) that the charity’s trustees are elected and appointed during triennial meetings of the RWC. Each RWC elects a trustee who will represent the region in the NWC. The national board of trustees is made up of the four regional trustees as well as three members of the NAC. Eligibility is determined by individual competence, specialist skills and availability to serve in the role. New Trustees are inducted into the working of the charity as well as into the charity’s policies and procedures at an induction workshop, which is organised by the existing Trustees. The NAC organises triennial strategic planning for both the Trustees and NWC. Leadership training workshops for all are regularly conducted throughout the year. Resources or personnel for such training are both internal and external individuals with specialist skills.
Organisational Management
The Charity Trustees are legally responsible for the overall management, monitoring, and control of both the charity’s leadership organs, and meet at least three times a year. Working in close liaison with the charity’s ecclesial leadership (the NAC), Charity Trustees ensure various lower boards at national, regional and assembly levels comply with the charity’s policies. The NAC meets three weeks before each meeting of the full NWC and the Board of Trustees meetings and on two extra occasions every year specifically to approve the budgets and finalise the financial statements and annual reports for approval by the NWC.

Branch structure
The units that were operational during the year were:
Head Office
-
Sister’s Union
-
Youth
-
Geographic Regions (Northern, Central, Midlands and Southern)
-
Men’s Fellowship
-
National Pastor’s Fellowship
All assemblies are now independent charities and their current year financial results have been excluded from this report.
Risk Management
The NAC has been delegated responsibility of risk control according to the charity’s constitution and policies and procedures as always and as per procedure, after due consideration we decided to focus more on compliance, contracts, monitoring of church funds and internal controls, all assembly trustees in 2025 were instructed to implement the process, it was passed on through the various workshops conducted for all trustees in the year.
Compliance
The Trustees have decided to put more emphasis on the Charity Commission compliance processes and procedures, to ensure that all assemblies are up to date and well informed on the areas of timely report submissions, we closely monitored all the assemblies with a history of late submission of charity reports and the trustees, emphasized in the importance of not repeating such acts in the future.
Contracts
We conducted a survey which highlighted some inconsistencies regarding contracts for each of our pastors in their respective assemblies and we noted that some of them are operating without valid, up to date signed contracts, this constitutes and huge risk to the church organisation and so we’ve put in place a system which ensures that every pastor is operating with a live valid contract which is reviewed every three years. We have also allowed all assemblies until June 2026 to update all their contracts, after which we assess all assemblies to ensure their status in the compliance in the process, after which will take all the necessary action against non-compliance, some of which may include suspending the pastors until the contracts are signed.
Monitoring of church funds
This area, according to our observation is a very critical part of the church’s survival as it gives us clarity for each assembly’s current financial status as it is of vital importance to verify each assembly’s cash flow status and ascertain their liquidity ratios and operating margins. We are working closely with regional treasurers who report back to us biannually on all the above-mentioned critical areas to make this process successful.
Controls
In the workshops we conducted we emphasised the importance of internal controls to promote transparency and clarity of the day-to-day transaction’s income and expenditure of individual assemblies and encouraged them to verify each other’s transactions as part of good governance and prudent practice of our finances at assembly level. The process of decentralization i.e., registering Assemblies with the Charities Commission as separate charities, which began in 2011, has now been completed. This was a move to improve efficiency by bringing accountability closer to the assemblies, where the activities are happening. So, each charity has its own trustees. More emphasis is now being focused on clarifying decentralisation, total autonomy, and disintegration. To mitigate this risk, Trustees in liaison with

Report of the Trustees for the Year ended 31 March 2025
the NAC are in the process of formulating legal contracts between the AFMIMUK charity and its affiliates. Through the risk management process already established for the Charity, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Mitigation:
The current board of trustees has identified the four major areas highlighted above as areas of focus and provide practical solutions which are easy to monitor. Each individual church recruitment process needs to be closely monitored and ensure that a contract is in place and signed in agreement before a pastor starts operating, we also need to deal with grievances according to the church constitution and make sure that we are on top of all issues to correct them swiftly before they get out of hand and cause crises.
Regarding assemblies’ compliance to charities commission annual financial statements submission, we are aware of changes to the charities commission process, and we have sent a reminder to all churches to upgrade their online registration statuses accordingly, we continue to monitor the different assemblies to ensure that everyone is compliant. We are working closely with all regional leaders to ensure that we have clarity of all assembly financial statuses at any given time through periodical reports from their regional treasurers as they have access to individual assembly contacts through church administrators .
Objectives and Activities
Charitable Objects
The main objective of the Trust is the advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the Holy Scriptures (Holy Bible) as contained in the confession of faith set below:
-
We believe in God eternal, triune, almighty creator, sustainer and ruler of all creation.
-
We believe in God the Father, the author of creation and salvation.
-
We believe in Jesus Christ the only Son of God the Father, true God who for the sake of humanity and its salvation descended from heaven and became flesh, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born by the virgin Mary, who lived on earth and was crucified, died and was buried, who rose from the dead and ascended to heaven where he is seated at the right hand of the Father.
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit, true God proceeding from the Father and the Son, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and leads in all truth.
-
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God written by men as the Holy Spirit inspired them. We believe that it authoritatively proclaims the will of God and teaches us all that is necessary for salvation.
-
We believe that all human beings are created in the image of God; due to their sinful rebellion, this image is marred that all have sinned before God, and it is the will of God that all people will receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
-
We believe in baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as promised to all believers.
-
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit to all Christians. We believe that a Christian should be a disciple of Jesus Christ living a consecrated and holy life.
-
We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which is constituted by the Holy Spirit and consists of born-again believers. The Church is responsible for the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel and God’s will to people. As a charismatic community, they fellowship with and edify one another.
-
We believe that the believers’ baptism by immersion and the Lord’s supper are institutions of Christ to be observed by the Church.
-
We believe in a day of judgment when Christ will judge the living and the dead.

Review of performance against objectives
During the period under review the AFM IM (UK) set the following objectives amongst others;
-
Church growth through local assemblies
-
The church has fully recovered from the difficult past from COVID related challenges, it has dealt well with new members from Zimbabwe, and they have settled well. We are now experiencing a new realm of maturity within the church, and this has opened a new dispensation of new churches being opened in different regions and cities, the church has experienced tremendous growth in branches and this has had a positive effect on our head count as well, as we are now able to reach more people and make the church more accessible to individuals as the church is now in closer proximity.
-
Continuous leadership training
Because of the growth highlighted above, we’ve noted that there is a need to affiliate new trustees and update them on all the basics tools they need to assume their daily expectancies, we conducted two online BOT workshops for trustees from all assemblies, they were conducted by both internal and external key note speakers to cover important and relevant topics and introduce our new board members to the UK Charity system, create team building and forge a lasting connection between trustees from different assemblies.
- Promoting the Christian gospel
Conferences for the spiritual enrichment of adult men, women as well as for youths and children, open to the public, were successfully held during the period under review. These were held in our four regions, for ladies, youth, men’s fellowship, and Sunday school. Once more we held a successful combined conference at Venue Cymru in Llandudno, North Wales for the second yea.
Traditional Sunday services and a variety of local church activities involving children, youth, and adults, have continued as normal. People with a variety of spiritual, social, and emotional needs were also assisted. The church has integrated very well with local communities, and it has opened doors to people of all ethnic and race and created an enabling environment for such growth.
We intend to measure the success of the strategy by the following:
-
By regular consultation with other similar Charities and Theological institutions.
-
By annual returns from local branches.
-
By monitoring the financial strength of local branches through internal reviews.
Public benefit
The year under review has witnessed tremendous shift in attitudes towards the community and we have recorded more donations to charitable causes than ever before, we continue to emphasise on the importance of the community and encourage even more acts of gratitude towards the people around us as it is one of the core values of the church.

Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) Report of the Trustees for the Year ended 31 March 2025
National Place of Worship
Acquiring of our own national place of worship remains a challenge, so we have tabled a strategy regarding whereby if we combine our resources to purchase one venue at a time it could work , but we need to agree within ourselves to make this possible. We are all keen as trustees to make this happen and all other honorable council members have noticed the need as well, therefore it is imperative to authenticate the strategy and motion it as a priority in 2026.
Volunteers
Volunteers have been a vital part of our operations to ensure the success of everyday operations, but now as trustees we have noticed the need to focus a lot more on safeguarding to protect the church from unruly individuals, we have tabled a motion to implement measures to emphasise that every volunteer at every assembly should have an advanced DBS in place before they can operate any tasks and make it imperative and compulsory for it to happen. This created a need for us to follow up on the process as a going concern and ensure that every member is complying. This can only be achieved by creating a structure at assembly, regional and national level to closely monitor the progress and report back to the NAC and BOT as frequently as possible.
Financial review
The Statement of Financial Activities shows Incoming Resources of £183,661 (2024 - £239,709). The 23% decrease compared to previous year is mainly due to shortfall of voluntary income (tithes, donations, and assembly contributions). Tithe remittance from regions to Head Office declined to last year. However, contribution from assemblies to support national events like the annual Dunamis Conference increased by 100% compared to last year. Assemblies (Churches) remit 10% of their tithe income to their respective region who in turn remit 50% of received funds to Head Office. The head office has not been receiving adequate funds as per this established funding policy. Future campaigns need to do to maintain this fund policy. These funds are used to finance general operations of the church at national level.
Resources Expended were £182 274 (2024 - £185 237). Overall, expenditure decreased by at least 2% against 2024. Major cost savings were achieved by not paying any legal costs this year compared to 2024 when £4,800 was paid. Of the total expenditure, 81% (2024 - 65%) is attributable to conference costs and equipment hire during the annual Dunamis Conference. Conference costs and equipment hire are expenditure necessary to run annual conferences to empower community and members with gospel teachings and worship. During the year the church supported local community work and Apostolic Faith Mission in new set churches in various areas both in UK and abroad. The Net Incoming Resources were £4,350 (2024 - £11 117).
Reserves policy
The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves of the Charity, consideration of the income and expenditure streams, and the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves. Trustees have set a minimum balance of £30,000 as reserves for the current year and aim to review this level in the following year. The current reserve balance is £27 769., which meets our target.
The reserve balance is necessary:
-
to provide sufficient working capital to cover delays between spending and receipt of income.
-
to provide a cushion to deal with unexpected emergencies.
-
for church running costs and
-
to enable the Trust to pursue projects at the trustees’ discretion.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
