THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD (RCCG) EVERLASTING FATHER'S ASSEMBLY

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Everlasting Father's Assembly is part of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), an international network of churches. We are a friendly, Bible believing and family-oriented church community in the heart of Leeds, West Yorkshire. Whether working, studying, or living in and around Leeds, we look forward to welcoming new people every week to our activities in the name of the Lord Jesus.

The year 2024 was such a season of reassembling, re-building and reinforcement for the church at large and the families

within the church in particular.

God promised to remake us again by fitting and joining our separate parts together. He will help to remodel us extensively by reconstructing us altogether. He promised to make us stronger by adding more ‘materials and resources’ to us. He also said that He will increase our ‘strength’ in quality and quantity. He will make our lives, our families and our Assembly more distinct and more pronounced in the year 2024 and beyond to the glory of His name.

Of a truth, God was very gracious to us. He was true to His promises in our lives. He indeed assisted us to reassemble, rebuild and become reinforced. Glory be to God!

Throughout the year, we were able to bring people to the knowledge and the love of the Lord Jesus in a non-threatening or judgmental way; assist them with different issues of life and challenge their faith to grow more in The Lord.

We continued our weekly church programmes with about 250 persons attending our weekly meetings to the glory of God. Sundays

These targeted programmes for children and young people from different family backgrounds enabled us to inculcate spiritual disciplines in them from an early age which will have a positive effect on their lives as they grow older.

Free street parking was available to all guests, and we served refreshments after the Sunday activities to provide opportunities for social fellowship amongst visitors, new and returning members. This is an important source of social capital especially to individuals and families facing isolation.

Wednesdays

This is a worldwide initiative of RCCG to equip members for spiritual development to enable each one to serve

|

God and country more effectively as we are called to be ‘salt and light’ to the world. We now have a hybrid service (both in church and online).
