## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES**
Structure, Governance, Management
Introduction
House of Revival Ministries is a Non-Profitable Organization/registered charity (registered number 1141079) and a member of the Voluntary Action, attended by approximately 205 adults and children, inclusive of various nationalities and growing. Day to day management is vested in the leadership/departmental team led by the senior pastor. We believe in inclusiveness and welcome all people who want to participate in our activities.
It is located in Coventry, West Midlands. House of Revival is a multi-cultural and thriving church that operates 2 days a week. We have been active in the local community for over 10 years. We are diverse and dynamic in running activities for the benefit of the members and the community, which over the years have been adapted and expanded to meet the changing needs.
## **Aims/Objective & Activities**
The principal objectives of House of Revival, as set in our constitution, is the advancement of the Christian religion by the pronouncement of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to play an integral and strategic role in sustainable development of people, partnership, structures, relationships, skills, and knowledge to help the community to meet its own needs. Through these various activities, support, and trainings we seek to advance the lives of young people and seek to benefit as wide a catchment or variety of people as possible.
Also, we aim to engage all members of the Church to be connected to each other is small groups (Cell groups), and to take personal responsibility to encourage people in their day-to-day life to serve in some capacity, both in the church and the community at large. Our strapline is: “Igniting Hearts, Unlocking Destinies & Changing Nations”. Thus, we seek to serve and help meet the needs of our people in our locality through positive empowerment, training, and development.
## **Changes & Development Achievements**
We are working very hard to acquire our own place of worship after securing a long-term lease last year. We are trusting God to make this happen as soon as possible.
During the course of the year there were several special services for Dedication of Children and Celebrations. Additional services are held on Good Friday, Autumn Half Term Conference and also at Christmas (Carols Service). These events were well attended by Church Members and the local community.
## **The church’s ministry and new initiatives Performance**
## Advancing the Christian faith:
During the year House of Revival have had a special focus on frontline Christian ministry. One area for particular attention during the year has been the prayer life of the church, whereby, the pattern of a weekly Saturday evening prayer meeting was enhanced by a new rhythm of telephone monthly prayer times by every department of the church and a weekly prayer time by the leadership of the church as well. These prayer sessions have seen a considerable increase in the number of people involved in regular corporate prayer given the essence of prayer to the Christian faith. Also, as a church our teaching programmes has had a strong focus on discipleship with strong focus on discipleship with more attention given to home cell group though the provision of centrally prepared and printed resources, and training for study leaders before specific Bible passages are discussed. This area of ministry is something that we are looking to expand in the coming year.
## • Community
Core to the pursuit of our objectives and mission statement, House of Revival served people of all ages and backgrounds, to grow in their faith and connect into the community, ad increasing access to a thriving, supportive and accessible church community, though personal pastoral input and support, and have further extended our work to a greater and more diverse catchment area. Activities such as
departmental workshops, leadership conference and personal developments are ongoing and those who are part of HOUSE OF Revival have been trained and encouraged to identify various ways of contributing and building and serving the local community in their own way and time. During the week, the church provides activities for children and the youth such as mid-week club for various ages, several teenage groups meet for Bible studies and other activities. We have received positive reports throughout the year with regards to the inspiration, encouragement and the care people have accessed through the services provided.
## Welfare Team
The church still runs a small-scale food bank system that delivers food to the people who need it most. The food is acquired through donation from members, much of which would otherwise be wasted. This helps in a way to break the cycle of poverty.
What needs are being met
• Giving children a head start in life
- Supporting families
- Reducing social isolation
- Helping both the aged and young families to live a healthy, better life
- Helping people to build skill sets to enhance their chances of getting a gainful employment
- Giving young people and young adults better opportunities and choices
## Future Plans
• Having secured a long lease for a place of worship, House of Revival Ministries is looking to expand the range of its activities in the coming years to further its involvement in the community. We aim to make our building and services easily accessible to the general public in Coventry, especially to those with disabilities in the form of providing ramps for wheelchairs and flexible seating.
• We hope to engage more with the Coventry City Council as part of the church’s response to local needs especially to the less privileged and the needy.
• Building a digital church: Through the use of digital technologies, we have a vision to connect with anyone anywhere to a life changing relationship with Jesus’, and to grow an audience of people both in UK and internationally. This initiative would by far, be of public benefit to those unable to leave home on the grounds of health or care responsibilities, and to all who are unable to access our church locations but can connect with us digitally.
• Church recognizes it also needs to create ways for people to serve care for and positively contribute to the wider community, and leaders across the church are creating a sustainable voluntary team to help the vulnerable in our communities.
• To collaborate and build partnerships with other organisations in order to continue to expand our programmes in delivering a range of affordable and accessible services that create connections, opportunities and training events that seek to harness the skills and resources of our members.
Provision of pastoral care
The charity puts the welfare of its congregation and the community it serves at the heart of its yearly objectives. During the course of the year, the House of Revival in collaboration with the founder and senior pastor visited members who have not attended services for some time. The church also organised intercessory prayers for the community and the nation at large. The church also played a pivotal role during the peak of the global pandemic (Covid 19) by allowing its premises to be used as a test centre. Some of our members also acted as Covid 19 volunteers by directing people and advising them on Covid 19 protocols. The church also offers employment and immigration advise to its members and the wider public who need such advice.
Empowerment through collaboration with other churches
Through active evangelism and effective networking approach, House of Revival has over the years have managed to form and maintained a meaningful joint working relationship with other ministries that has similar objectives for the purpose of empowering people in the community.
