Children’s Ministry and Crèche – On going- all year

Every week, the children, in age directed classes, are taught on principles of life from a biblical perspective. They are free to express themselves and can explore and ask questions. Periodically throughout the year, the children have presentations to the church in drama, songs and musical instrumentation. The team of workers and volunteers who oversee the Crèche and Children’s ministry are

C.R.B (Criminal Records Bureau) certified. We also have a Child Protection Policy in place which is reviewed in accordance with changes and updates in legislation.

Every week, the Youths, in friendly and relaxed environment are mentored and tutored from a biblical point view on issues facing young people in this generation. Some of these issues of discussion focus on drugs, alcohol, sex and sexually transmitted diseases, peer pressure.

Along with teaching them on spiritual matters, they are also encouraged by guidance and counselling, to pursue a fulfilling career/academic discipline in their area of strength.

The youths are encouraged and supported to have freedom of expression. They usually have performances and presentations in drama and song, often reflective of what they had learnt and embraced in the previous months.

Prayer & Fasting

Trustees Report and Summary of activities - Year end 31st May 2024

Reserves Policy

The trustees have considered it prudent to establish and maintain a policy of unrestricted funds which are the free reserves of the charity to enable the smooth payment of running costs for the immediate future.

Risk Management

The trustees have carried out a review of the major risks to which the church could be exposed and procedures have been implemented to lessen these risks where applicable. The risks and procedures are reviewed on an ongoing basis to accommodate changes in legislation in every area of our operations. The use of certified agents, liability insurances, monitoring new and updated legislative provisions are some of the steps that have been adopted.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities.

Trustees meet once every 3 month . Other meetings are scheduled as occasion demands.

Charity law in England and Wales requires that trustees prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act and Regulations.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
