STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity governing document is a declaration of trust deed that was adopted on 31[st] January 2004 .The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.

The Objects of the organisation are to advance the Christian Religion [in accordance with the Statement of faith] throughout the world as the trustees may see fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Organisation continues to hold successful services through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. The church continues to hold various seminars and conferences for both leaders and members of the community which proved to be a good avenue of seeing people equipped and encouraged in their spiritual life. The church continues to hold successful church services in its 3 branches which are in London, Essex and Manchester. This continues to have a positive impact in those communities as more people attend the services and are supported with their spiritual needs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The income of the charity is above £61,000. The costs have been managed well over this period. The charity is in a good position to develop itself in the community. The church continues to meet in 3 locations. They have a lease on a building in Camberwell and they hire halls in Essex and Manchester. The costs have been well managed even though there are more expenses this year the church continues to maintain a healthy surplus. As well as the regular church expenses. The church also contributed to the head-quarters branch in Nigeria in assisting with their mission outreaches in the villages.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The church intends to continue to host its regular yearly conferences in UK. The church is engaging in more outreaches in various areas of the UK and also has a plan of developing its branches in the United Kingdom. The intended re-appointment of our present independent examiner at the upcoming trustee meeting is expected to support the financial operations by making it more effective.
