The New Methodist Christian Fellowship (Europe), Charity Number 1129456, is pleased to present its Annual Report and Accounts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. We affirm our adherence to the Charities Act 2011, our trust deed, and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS 102).
Our Mission:
Established by a Declaration of Trust on May 7, 2009, endorsed by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, our church is dedicated to the following
Advancing the Christian Faith:
We strive to share the message of Jesus Christ across the UK and globally, nurturing spiritual growth and fostering a deeper connection with God.
Promoting Health and Well-being:
We support our congregations and their families in maintaining good health, alleviating sickness, and providing assistance during financial, physically and mental hardships.
Educational Empowerment:
Through Christian educational training, we enhance the skills and abilities of our members, preparing them for future opportunities and responsibilities.
Community Development:
We are committed to combating poverty, and empowering children, families, and communities in Cyprus, Romania, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, Vanuatu, and Fiji through the principles of Christian faith.
Educational Initiatives
Our comprehensive programs encompass academic curricula, pastoral care, sports, and various extracurricular activities, creating an environment conducive to holistic learning. We prepare our members for future opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences by:
Sharing the Gospel: Proclaiming the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Encouraging Faith: Inspiring individuals to place their trust in God.
Teaching God's Word: Providing biblical instruction to deepen understanding.
Community Service: Organizing events that embody Christian values and service within the church and to the communities we are part of
Review of Activities:
In 2023, we organized a total of 6 Main Events that united church zones from Romania, Cyprus, and the United Kingdom. One of these Conferences was conducted in Bucharest, Romania. Our three regions—UK North, UK South, and Europe held monthly meetings, culminating in 12 regional events.
Charitable Endeavors:
Our commitment to charity was demonstrated through various initiatives:
-
Community Visitations: We visited Fijian families facing long-term illnesses, bereavement, and financial difficulties, offering support and comfort.
-
Street Evangelism: Our members volunteer to distribute meals and refreshments to those in need on the streets along with distribution of tracts with gospel truths, embodying Christ's love through service.
-
British Legion Poppy Appeal: During Remembrance Month, we participated in the Poppy Appeal, selling poppies to honor and support veterans.
-
Missionary Support: We provided assistance to missionaries in Fiji contributing to their charity works, welfare, and church-related activities.
-
International Visitations & Events: We reached out to Fijian families in USA, Canada, Northern Ireland, Romania, fostering encouragement, mutual edification, and shared faith.
Financial Overview:
Our church's financial sustenance primarily derives from the tithes and offerings of our congregation, collected at the beginning of each month's service. Additionally, members contribute donations and freewill offerings to support various ministry events and activities.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported our mission throughout 2023. Your dedication and generosity have been instrumental in advancing our shared vision of faith, service, and community empowerment.
