Objec�ves and aims

Mee�ngs and gatherings

Church mee�ngs and gatherings are open to everyone and are fundamental for the World Wide Family of God Churches to advance its vision and to build a church based on:

- Real and dynamic worship.

Mee�ngs are open to anyone who would like to worship God as part of a Chris�an community and to learn and experience more about living as a Chris�an.

These gatherings fall into the following categories:

1. Sunday Church Services

The Church has branches in several ci�es and towns in the United Kingdom where people meet on Sunday for worshipping together and for teachings based on the Bible.

2. Small groups

The churches are subdivided into small groups which meet mid-midweek for fellowship and prayer and also for worshipping and teaching. These group se�ngs are primarily focused on the community aspects of friendship and pastoral care during happy �mes and �mes of adversity.

3. Conven�ons/Seminars

The church holds regular na�onal conven�ons to cater for the spiritual needs of the members and to facilitate con�nued unity and vision sharing with the church's founding interna�onal leadership from whom presenters are invited to minister through preaching, teaching, music and arts. As such the following annual conven�ons are held:

February Prophe�c Word Conven�on, May UK Preaching of the Cross Conven�on, August UK and World Harvest Conven�on, Youth Conven�on in July and other ad-hoc conven�ons or seminars as directed.

The church encourages and supports other interna�onal conven�ons par�cularly the Pan- African and World Chris�an Churches Conven�on in Bulawayo, The Preaching of the Cross Conven�on in Harare, the Rural Conven�ons in Zimbabwe and other conven�ons in Africa and Australia.

Church Buildings

The Charity does not own any buildings, but does rent church and community halls weekly for the purposes of worship.

Mission Houses are also rented and are used as offices and for community related ac�vi�es like family home groups mee�ngs, prayer mee�ngs and as a place to stay for visi�ng Bishops / Pastors, and some needy people.

Weekly church venues are rented in our primary UK areas of London, Birmingham, Southampton and Leeds. Other venues are also rented for our smaller churches under the stewardship of the area churches.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trustees con�nue to place emphasis on financial management to ensure that the funds within the organisa�on are properly managed.

Going concern

At the �me of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expecta�on that the Charity has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees' con�nue to adopt the going concern basis of accoun�ng in preparing the accounts.

WORLD WIDE FAMILY OF GOD CHURCHES Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the trustees on my examina�on of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibili�es and basis of report

As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having sa�sfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examina�on, I report in respect of my examina�on of your charity's accounts carried out under sec�on 145 of the Chari�es Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examina�on I have followed the Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiners statement

I have completed my examina�on. I confirm that no ma�ers have come to my a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by sec�on 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the requirements of sec�on 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Prac�ce for accoun�ng and repor�ng by chari�es applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

WORLD WIDE FAMILY OF GOD CHURCHES meets the defini�on of a public benefit en�ty under FRS 102. Assets and liabili�es are ini�ally recognised at historical cost or transac�on value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accoun�ng policy note(s).

Going concern

At the �me of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expecta�on that the Charity has adequate resources to con�nue in opera�onal existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees' con�nue to adopt the going concern basis of accoun�ng in preparing the accounts.

The Trustees have taken advantage of the exemp�on in SORP FRS 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the charitable company is small.

Funds

Fund is mainly through voluntary dona�ons of �thes and offerings by the church members and the government gi� aid scheme.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial ac�vi�es when the Charity is en�tled to the income and the amount can be quan�fied with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to par�cular categories of income.

Resources expended

Liabili�es are recognised as resources expended when there is a legal or construc�ve obliga�on commi�ng the Charity to the expenditure.

Charitable ac�vites

Charitable ac�vi�es are those costs rela�ng to ac�vi�es carried out to meet the objec�ves of the charity and include directly a�ributed costs as well as support costs.

Alloca�on and appointment of costs

Direct costs a�ributable to a single ac�vity are allocated directly to that ac�vity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one ac�vity and support costs which are not a�ributable to a single ac�vity are appor�oned between those ac�vi�es on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxa�on

The charity is exempt from corpora�on tax on its charitable ac�vi�es.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valua�on less deprecia�on and any provision for impairment.
