PURPOSE AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The WORD OF FAITH CHRISTIAN CHURCH is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our community. The trustees and the church council maintain an overview of worship throughout the community and constantly seek ideas on how our services can involve the diverse population and groups that live within our church and the community. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, the Board of Trustees has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our church community through:
-
Worship and Prayer, learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
Provision of pastoral care.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
-
Education and training.
A summary of the result of the Word of Faith Christian Church activities during the period is given in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 15. Total income of the charity amounted to £104,197 . The income was spent to carry out the objectives of the Church.
Financial Review
The book values of the assets held at the year-end are, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, as stated in the financial statements. Also, in its opinion, adequate assets are available to fulfil the obligations of the charity. Our principal source of funds comes from the generous donations of committed members through Tithes and Offerings. Total income was £104,197 of which £90,186 was spent to promote the Christian ministry and charitable community activities.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees have identified the need for reserves to be held as developing a reserves policy will assist in strategic planning such as in considering how new projects or future activities will be funded. To ensure sustainability and continuity of funding future activities, the trustees plan to have unrestricted funds to cover at least 3 months of unrestricted payments. This policy will be reviewed regularly to meet the charitable needs of the Church.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. The charity's investment policy is appropriate to the nature of the funds for which the investment is held. The primary investment aim is to provide a high degree of security and liquidity and to maximise returns whilst adopting a conservative approach.
Grant Making Policy
As part of our charitable objectives of providing aid to the needy, grants are made in the form of cash gifts to needy people in the community and to members who find themselves in some form of financial difficulty.
Volunteers
It is worth noting that without the selflessness, hardwork and dedication of our volunteers we couldn’t have achieved our aims and objectives. The volunteers at WFCC contribute greatly to the running of the church and enables it to fulfil its objectives. We would therefore like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular we want to mention our Chairperson, the Elders, the Media and Technical team, the Music Team, the Housekeeping team, the Diamond Women, the Prominent Men who have worked so tirelessly; and all the other members of the Church for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church running. A big thank you to all those who helped in the booster club . The valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise of the Church members has helped the church community to achieve so much.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Worship and Prayer
Word of Faith continues to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year. The church and the community find these services beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For instance, Sunday services continue to provide an environment of worship that is refreshing, reflective and at the same time vibrant and lively through the praise and worship; vibrant and reflective music; and preaching and teaching of the word of God. Evening prayer services are held weekly on Tuesdays and this provide opportunities for people to communicate with God on a more personal basis.
We are excited to see several families join our church, and we are very happy to see them enjoy the welcoming environment and the fellowship shared by all; and to integrate better in the community. New families that have relocated to Newcastle have been helped in finding their way around their new location through the church. Everyone is welcome to attend our regular services.
Education, Missions and Evangelism
WORD OF FAITH continues to educate and help those in need. When a person stops learning that person stops growing and that is why at WFCC we take much interest in the total development of people. We have various friendly life-educational programs for the community to help inspire people for better life living.
Providing help for people in need is a demonstration of our faith, for faith without works or good deeds is dead . We have shared the Gospel through several practical means including ‘family friendly meetings’, various outreach programs, and seminars. All these activities were opened to the public and it was a great success.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECT
Newcastle Booster Club – School Holiday Club
Our Summer School (holiday club) continues to be a great success. This year we organized a lot of outdoor activities for the youth. This was great fun. Being part of the HAF project enabled us to provide enriching fun and fitness activities for the children and young people in our community. All activities are organised in line with government guidelines on COVID-19. Thanks to our volunteers and Pastors. Our membership with the CCPAS has been of great help when it comes to organizing such activities and trips for the children and youth. As usual we had a tremendous amount of registration and participation across the community. Our qualified teacher who spearheads this project has been of great help. Thanks to all volunteers who happily joined the team to provide support in all forms. We look forward to the next school holiday club with excitement.

NEWCASTLE BOOSTER CLUB: Next Level Booster Club – This is an after-school tutoring club which aims to help pupils with their learning and to help parents understand the learning needs of their children. The booster club is of great benefit to the children and the youth. There is also specific one to one teaching; and help for those preparing to write their GCSEs. This club is run by fully qualified teachers and specialist subject tutors. Our focus has been on Maths, English and Science; this year we had several students preparing for their GCSE and we are pleased to report that all the GCSE students who took advantage of the booster club had excellent results (grades). We saw most of the students gain admission to the universities of their choice. This was great. Congratulations !
Table Talk Service - As part of reaching out to the community and presenting the gospel in very practical and relaxed atmosphere, the Board of Trustees introduced a special service dubbed Table Talk Service. During this service, tables and chairs are arranged in a banqueting style; topics that pertain to everyday life and Christianity are discussed in an open forum. This has become very popular.
Musical Events - As a means of community integration we successfully held musical events where the church community and the public are welcomed into the church for music, dance, free meal and to interact and make new friends.
Worship Nights – The night of music continues to be very popular among the community. We have had great success.
Youth Engagement - The wellbeing, safety and happiness of the youth in our community is a priority. The youth have been engaged in several activities that promote their health and wellbeing. Seminars and workshops on healthy relationships; career choices and wellbeing were tailored to meet the needs of the youth. Great participation and fun!
Outreach – Missions and Evangelism
Also, successful outreaches did take place in Newcastle and its surrounding towns. The gospel of Jesus Christ was shared using various realistic approaches. Using media (internet, published materials etc.) we could reach many thousands of people. This was evidenced by the number of people that visited the church’s website to engage in educative forums. Attendance at Sunday Services has been very impressive and again, this year, we welcomed many new families and single people to the church. Most of whom are regular members and are very actively supporting the mission work thus enabling the church to reach out to even more people.
Believer’s Class and Baptism
As we keep growing, we see many new converts whose lives are being transformed. The Pastor takes them through fundamentals of the Christian walk and once they complete their course, as many as are willing get baptized. They are also given the opportunity to serve in the various ministries of the church.

July 31, 2024
Word of Faith Christian Church Trustees Annual Report & Financial Statements
Monthly Outreach Programs purposely designed to introduce and welcome new families and individuals to church have been very successful.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral visits were made to as many people as were willing to access this service. Counseling demand was again high this year as more people reached forward for effective pastoral counseling and care. The church reached out to more people who had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some needed counselling and other forms of help. Help was provided based on the needs of the people. Cash gifts, groceries and other essentials were delivered to families.
EDUCATION/TRAINING & LEADERSHIP
Ministerial Training & Mentorship: This year (as the previous year) members of the church and the community who have a passion to win souls and to undertake specific roles in the ministry e.g. preaching, teaching etc. went through a series of Ministerial and Leadership training to equip them for the preaching and sharing of the Gospel. Ministerial & Mentorship Class is also for people who feel called into ministry. The Rev. Minister takes them through ministerial training and mentorship.
Educational Seminars: The church continues to provide educational seminars which are open to every member of the community. The highlights for this year’s seminars were: Emotional/psychological welfare and wellbeing; how to deal with Post Traumatic Stress; being safe as the nation navigates through the CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC; COVID-19 and its effect; Character development; Personal development; Identifying your gifts and talents; Maximizing your talents; Financial Management; Effective parenting; Peaceful family life; Conquering worry; living a happy life.
Through practical and lively teaching of the word of God; weekly conferences; books, audio CDs and DVDs; and through the internet; the church has been successful in educating members and the public on various life changing issues.
Youth Training/Development
The church continues to see several youths who are very dedicated and excited to attend service. Those who were trained to play musical instruments are now fully involved in the music ministry and are enjoying using their talents. Some are singing in the band, and others are on the technical and media team.
This year we had Youth Seminars and Conferences to empower the youth in the church and community. We have organised special sessions to educate the community on how to be safe; how to live a healthy life – health and wellbeing; guidance on career and life choices.

WELFARE/WELLBEING
God’s Arm – A welfare scheme/project to provide food, clothing, financial and other material needs for the community has been successful. This year several families in hardship were supported financially and provided with food items. The already existing hardship in the community has been compounded by the CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC (COVID-19). The welfare team continues to provide food, essential and comfort items; and cash to families in need of such.
Ministry to Immigrants
The church continues to support several immigrants who are in very difficult and heartbreaking situations. Help is offered in the form of financial donations; food items such as grocery, bags of rice etc. The church aims to reach out to a larger number of migrants and their family (including children) who are in desperation.
Ministry to the Homeless
Through community outreach programs, the church encountered some homeless people. With great compassion the leaders willingly assisted them by providing clothing, food; giving them bed and breakfast (hotels) accommodation whilst we worked with the council to secure them accommodation. The church paid utilities for those who secured accommodation with the council and are unemployed. This year, the church went an extra mile to provide hot meals for the homeless. Extra provision was made to help those who have suffered disproportionate challenges because of the COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
Ecumenical Relationships
Word of Faith Church is part of Churches together in the North East. Together with some churches in Newcastle we organized another successful pastors’ and spouses weekend retreat. This is an annual program that seeks to bring Pastors and church leaders together to relax and reflect. The church was actively involved in the planning and organization of the weekend retreat. Apart from the North East the church also supports other churches in Scotland and the Midlands.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiners

Basis of opinion
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions provided by the Charity Commission. The examination includes a review of the books and documents and other accounting records kept by the charity and comparing these with the accounts presented.
Our examination also includes consideration of any unusual disclosures or items in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees. It is imperative to state here that the procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'. Our report is therefore limited to the statements below:
Independent examiners' statement
In connection with our examination, we report that no matter has come to our attention, which gives cause to believe that the following have not been met:
1. Keeping proper accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Preparing accounts which accord with the underlying accounting records and which are in compliance with the Companies Act 2006, the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP), the Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities and the Charities Act 1993.
3. Consistency of the information contained in the Trustees Report with the financial statements.
