Achievements and performance

l. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

There has been appreciable growth in the spiritual and physical life of the church and her engagement with the members and the community through various programmes have been very productive.

Such programmes include the “Stay Healthy” Sunday programme that holds from time to time whereby medical professionals in the church give talks on relevant prevailing health matters.

The JEANS (Joint Effort Advocating New Society) youth initiative which is a leadership and mentoring initiative for the youth continues to be popular and The Youth Hangout that holds on Saturdays within the church premises continues to thrive.

The CREAM (Christ Rules Everything Around Me) is a children’s initiative geared towards encouraging them to participate in sporting activities

Ultimately, the vision is to start a separate youth church to serve the youth and other young people especially in addressing their physical and spiritual needs.

m. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE

The Trustees have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Banks and Building Societies. The board

should agree any change in such banking arrangements. As far as possible, funds will be retained in interest bearing accounts.

n. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total income for the year was £78,473; total expenditure was £84,568, resulting in a deficit of £6,095. The deficit represents the charitable activities and initiatives that was delivered in the year including one-off charges incurred when the charity refinanced its mortgage, see note 9.

r. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Part of the plan for future developments is to start a new church to be called The New Wine Church and another initiative to be called THRIVE with the aim of actively preparing and supporting the young graduates from the universities and apprenticeship in order to thrive in their chosen careers.

The church will also continue to explore various ways to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in a more effective manner especially through the use of social media in order to extend her reach.

As a charity we continue to look at different ways to grow our membership and make more impact within our community. In this regard we intend to hold seminars and webinars that will help in making the vision and purpose succinctly clear to the generality of the people within our community.
