The Redeemed Christian Church of God Fountain of Revival Registered number: 1137660 Trustees' Report
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Fountain of Revival is a branch of the worldwide Church, the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
General vision of the Church
n To make heaven.
-
n To take as many people as possible with us.
-
n To have a member of RCCG in every family of all nations.
-
n To have a parish in every 5 mins walking distance / 5 mins drive in every city of the world.
Our branch continuously supports the vision by conducting evangelisms, prayer sessions and various forms of fellowships as often as possible.
Review of the Year
During the year ended 30 June 2020, Church attendance and donations were lower than 2019 levels. The trustees decision taken in 2017 is still valid: that to maintain and forge a disticnt identity, the Church should source alternative suitable premises. Hence, it is still our hope to move into more suitable premises in the coming years, as soon as alternative premises can be secured.
Financial Review
The financial activities of the Church mainly comprise unrestricted grants and donations.
Restricted donations require that the funds be used in a specific way or for a specific purpose by the Church. However, the church had no restricted funds during the financial year under review. All unrestricted funds go towards the operating expenses of the church.
The major source of income is the voluntary contributions of members during church services and specific project appeals. Donations received during the year amounted to £26639, a increase of 14.3% over last year's total of £31093. Total deficit generated from all donations including gift aid income tax recoverable was £7368.
Church bank balance at the year end was £1385, an increase from the previous year end figure of £884.
In summary, the finances of the church is not improving and the church is still facing challenges with only a reasonable level of reserves. However, if a move to more distinct premises happens at any time in the future, its is expected that church finances will improve significantly as memebrship will grow, alongside a regular level of voluntary donations from existing members.
The aim is to continue to build on the successes achieved in the past years in prayer ministry, evangelism, youth and junior church activities and caring for the elderly in the community and continueing our reserves policy to ensure that operations are not jeapardised in the short term and that the long term aims are met.
This report was approved by the board on 28 March 2022 and signed by its order.
