THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST ASSEMBLY, BATH: 2022 CHARITY COMMISSION END OF YEAR STATEMENT.

We thank God, who has been merciful, gracious, and faithful to His church, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus Christ Assembly. 2022 has truly been an exciting and fruitful year for the church.

We have had a lot of testimonies within the year. We take attendance each week and recorded a total of 926 throughout the year with 25 newcomers. The church has grown in numbers, and most givers have willingly set up direct debits and give online. A few members give directly in the church during Sunday services. Most members are very committed, and they do give regularly. We have had such a growth in children’s Sunday scho ol that we needed a bigger classroom and additional teachers.

On operational basis, the church meets every Sunday afternoon for church service, for night vigils, every 3[rd] Friday of the month, midweek bible study, every Wednesday and morning prayers every Sunday, and this is all via Zoom. RCCG, Jesus Christ Assembly, also organises tea and coffee and light refreshments for the parishioners on Sundays after church service, which is really a good way of people communing and getting to know each other better. There were two Sunday services that were held online throughout the year. One in the month of October due to the Bath Half Marathon road closures, which made it difficult for people to travel to the church venue and secondly on Christmas day.

On the other hand, Amazing Grace, which happens to be our church outreach to our community and mostly propels the support of the homeless, donating to YMCA, donating food to food bank, clothing the homeless in Bath city and its environs, providing toiletri es and clothing’s to homeless people in Bath, and many more, has done exceedingly well. This year Amazing Grace worked on getting into partnership with Loop Run, which is a responsive division and a part of an independent social enterprise, which helps churches and community groups with sustainable resources. In December , Amazing Grace also managed to do a Christmas Outreach, whereby food hampers were given to families in Bath.

Evangelism is our joy. The church goes into the city centre of Bath, every 2[nd] Sunday of the month for evangelism, where we take joy in reaching out and minister the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour to everyone who has a heart to engage with us. This has been very a wonderful time for the church.

The Youth ministry is waxing stronger and stronger, as always, the leadership is doing an awesome and marvellous work. The church members arranged to do an outreach and attended the Bath Spa University and Bath University Student Fares. The outcome was highly encouraging, and the youth department held a Special Sunday Welcome day for the youth who were just joining us for services and most of them were students. Our youth also attended the Youth retreat in April, which was held in Quinta, which was held for 3 days, and many testimonies came out that retreat journey.

In October, the church managed to do an exchange of the old church bus, and upgraded to a new church bus, which has continued to enable us to reach more people, convey members to church, do more outreach work and

We thank God for His mercy and grace. We thank our God for were He Has taken us from and to where He is taking us to, and we are utmost grateful for being alive.
