PRECIOUS PEOPLE PARISH is constituted as a charity by its own right and is therefore governed by the charities Act 1993. In line with the RCCK UK mandate, PRECIOUS PEOPLE PARISH strives to make heaven and to take as many people as possible along. We also affirm our commitment to work with other Churches in the United Kingdom and beyond in promoting Christian unity and advancing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Objectives of Charity:

Strategies for achieving the objectives:
RCCG Precious People Parish’s vision is to fully become A Church to Partake, Produce and Provide for her community. The parish regularly reviews these objectives and measuring to ensure strategies continue to be ‘fit for purpose’ and capable to fulfilling the mission. At end of this year the below strategies were outlined and revalidated for upcoming year.
- 1) Holding regular Church meetings & fellowship and spiritual upliftment of members and the community. The Church will continue to hold meetings to grow the faith of members pray together and dig deep into the word of God.
We believe that a Christian without condemnation of heart has a right to thank God in adoration and in prayer always. The project was the birthed (which is still on-going) tagged ‘’ Operation pray for your Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts’’. Precious People Parish is committed to praying for the community, leaders, and the nation as a whole.

2) Visitation (Follow Up) and Welfare Groups have been re-planned for effective visitation to members and members of the community who are in need. There will be more visitations done to the Homeless, Hospitals and people in needs generally.
-
3) Community outreach and events held to impact lives and promoting integration of members as well as the larger community. One of the key community activities in the year was to put more effort in Community Welfare through the Food Bank and provision of supplies to people affected by covid19. These programmes are open to every member of our community regardless to faith background, race, or age.
Development, activities, and achievements of the year:
- 1) Key mandate of RCCG is to make heaven and taking as many people as possible along. So the advancement of Christian faith and evangelism initiatives continued to be our frontline agenda. To achieve this Church held different meetings and fellowship organised to dig into the words of God and creating opportunity to grow in Christ and manifest Christlike characters.
Some of these key programmes included the weekly Sunday service, Sunday School Classes, Bible Study, Believers Class and Prayer meetings. These Church meetings aimed at developing the Biblical understanding of members and fellow Christians.
The inter-denominational fortnightly prayer clinic popularly called ‘’the King’s heart’’ is open to the public where special prayers are raised on pressing issues. Precious People Parish saw a significant growth in spiritual lives of members and volunteers compared to previous year; and there is expectation the upliftment will give way to increase in membership and the overall growth of the Church.
- 2) The Church continued to find more ways to transform lives through prayers and by meeting their spiritual needs. By the grace of God; the parish involvement continued to get stronger through community interaction, leadership and good work.
The Church management acquired a booking management software/system to organise attendance to service in line with government regulations on number per time. The booking management system became popularly used by members, visitors or attendees coming to church services in order to comply with covid-regulated capacity.
- 3) Annual Mothers & Father’s Day – The 2021 Mothers’ Sunday service took place on the 14[th] March while the Father’s Day took place on the 19[th] June. Both were special services to celebrate mother/father figures in the families and community
