REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In 2023/24 church income has increased from £147512 to £171352 representing an overall increase of £23840 from last year. This Increase has been attributed to consistent attendance and increase in church members. The church is collectively determined to maintain this upward trend in the 2024/2025 financial year.
This healthy financial position enables the church continue to meet all its expenses without the need to borrow any funds. The strong willingness in giving by our members across all the ministerial services continue to be a contributing factor to the cash flow position of the church. The ability to retain more committed and dedicated members of the church congregation is another contributing factor.
The church continues to fulfil its public benefit objective by identifying and assisting the needy. The church's plan is to increase support towards the needy communities and support the immediate needs of other small charities in further fulfilling its charitable and public benefit objectives within the United Kingdom. The church wages and payroll expenses are mainly for those working full time in the Ministry carrying out day to day pastoral and counselling duties.
The main source of the Church income is through tithes and offering which is willingly given by the members of our ministry. We would like to thank all the church members who have consistently given their tithes and offering to enable all the financial commitments of the church to be sufficiently catered for.
All the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis and all the income and expenses are recorded using suitable accounting policies and consistently.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The church continues to grow, and we anticipate an increase in membership and resources to achieve our vision.
Our long term vision includes:
-
Extending the Gospel of Jesus Christ to many parts of the United Kingdom, and beyond.
-
Advertising and promoting the Gospel on Facebook and other Social Media platforms in 2024/25
-
Contributing to the alleviation of poverty and meeting the needs of poor people in deprived areas through financial donations.
-
Expanding the Sunday School and Youth ministries within the church setting
-
Supporting and expanding women's ministry and church conferences on a quarterly and half yearly basis.
