A member may be dismissed or excluded at any time if it is in the interest of the charity. On the dismissal or exclusion of a member, the latter cannot make claims to any of the charity's assets, possessions or funds no matter the extent or amount of donations and contributions ever made to the charity.
The charity requires that all members believe that all activities of their lives must be guided and directed aright by the Word of God, which is the Bible.
Every member of the charity shall be free to leave the charity at any time.
All Leaders of any kind or occupying whatsoever position shall have a higher requirement and responsibility and must fulfil the following five (5) rules for leadership within the charity. They must: -

Be unambiguous bona fide born again Christians;
-
Be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in Tongues;

Demonstrate a character above reproach;
-
Believe in and adhere to the Founding Ideals, viz. the Vision, Doctrines, Principles, Philosophy, Practices, Standards, and Spirit of the Ministry of the charity, and

The charity aims to achieve its objective of preaching the Word of God through regular Sunday church meetings as well as two mid-week services.
There are special one-off programmes such as conventions where visiting ministers are invited to preach and minister the Word of God. Members are also trained to live morally upright lives and be good examples in the communities in which they live.
The charity serves to provide a means through which people can seek God and lead lives based on sound Christian doctrine.
The main church has a choir that spreads the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Gospel concerts and singing during regular Church services.
Pastoral care coordinators continue to offer one-on-one support and counselling to members and non-members of the church. These range from marriage counselling to dealing with bereavement, finding life partners, issues of abandonment and abuse, depression, illnesses, old age, debt, children, spiritual guidance and prayer. The tele-pastoring team also provide immediate confidential prayer support to both members and non-members. This makes a huge difference in the lives of many of the most vulnerable members.

The trustees are of the opinion that the performance of the charity from a financial standpoint is in line with their expectations and plans for the charity.
The trustees are pleased with the performance of the investment properties during the year under review.
The charity does not currently analyse its funds into different classes or categories. All the funds are maintained in a single general fund.
Future plans
The trustees plan to grow the membership from its present level and will continue to focus on refining and developing existing operations to the highest possible standards.
Regarding the financial position of the charity, the trustees are pleased both at the balance sheet date and at the date of the trustees' report. The outlook for the continued operations of the charity remains good.
The Trustees confirm that in their opinion: -
Adequate assets are available to fulfil the obligations of the charity, having regard to any likely delays or shortfalls in realising assets into cash.
No commitments or guarantees have been undertaken, other than those disclosed in the accounts.
During the course of the year under review the trustees acquired the freehold of Lower Wortley Methodist Church; built in 1884 located near to New Farnley, Leeds, England. The property was acquired because of its development potential.
Development works were ongoing at the end of the reporting period: at the time of writing the development works have been completed and the building brought into use.
This landmark achievement is a significant advancement of the trustee's long term plans for the charity. The new location will enable facilitation of the growth, expansion and diversification of the membership and will be an invaluable legacy for future generations.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Lighthouse Chapel International for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Page 5
THE LIGHTHOUSE CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Muhammad Imran Ashraf, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 27 May 2026 and signed on the board's behalf by:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Lighthouse Chapel International
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Lighthouse Chapel International (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 7
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Lighthouse Chapel International
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 8
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Lighthouse Chapel International
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity and determined that the most significant are those that relate to:
-
Companies Act 2006;
-
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice;
-
Financial Reporting Standard 102;
-
Data protection laws (including UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)), and
-
Fundraising regulations for charities.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations identified above.
We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud by enquiry of:
-
Management;
-
Those charged with governance, and
-
Others responsible for risk or compliance procedures.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Depreciation is normally provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% Reducing balance
Freehold land and buildings - Depreciated over a useful life not exceeding 50 years
Investment property
Investment property is shown at fair value.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
