## **Trustees Report 2022** 

The church has continued to pursue its charitable objectives, namely sharing our Protestant faith as it has been historically understood according to the doctrinal standards of our deeds. 

"Loving Jesus, loving you - reaching Exeter and beyond" is our motto and we continue to put it into practice. 

Likewise, we remain focused on right relationships and good teaching, and people are appreciating a loving church. We continue to pray that many will be saved from judgement and live for Christ. The need is clear and still growing. 

Our numbers have grown so that we are now usually above 15 on a Sunday. 

Significantly our outreach into the community is now sustained and with Living Waters, we have hosted evangelistic training for others from the surrounding areas including Plymouth. 

Our fellowship within the wider denomination of the FCE has soured and others have left the denomination and we have now done likewise to protect our reputation. 

Life continues to be hard for many in the church, especially the trustees, and we are cutting our cloth accordingly - prioritising Sundays and mid-weekly fellowship with regular outreach. 

Again, we are up to the wire administratively but much progress has been made. We continue to see much answer to prayer through many hardships and continue to testify to God's unfailing love and faithfulness. 

We commit ourselves unto God in Christ and know that He is faithful and He calls us to be the same. We rejoice in Him always. 

On behalf of the trustees Revd Steven Hanna - Chair of Trustees 31/10/2023
