## Trustees Report 

For year ending December 2023 

## Objectives and activities. 

To encourage our members to ‘Know Christ and make Him Known’ in 

accordance with our statement of faith. 

To be involved in supporting the local community. 

To support other missions with the same objectives. 

To support other organisations and charities with similar objectives. 

## Significant Activities 

We have regular gatherings in our Church building and also at Meadow Green School Wythall for our any people attend, to promote the Christian Faith. 

Our Pastor and Assistant Pastor are heavily involved in the local community as are other members of the Church. 

Our activities involve, children’s and young people’s clubs, a food bank, weekly coffee mornings (mainly for the elderly), ‘Time for Tea’, visiting and caring for the elderly and needy, in addition to other local involvements with our local council and other organisations. 

We have been supported financially by our local and district councils. The Pastors involvement in two of our local schools, includes taking 

assemblies and helping individual children. He is also a Governor at Meadow Green School. 

Our Assistant Pastor is running, for 2 days a week, a program of support for pupils who find it hard to engage in the regular school lessons, in our local senior school Woodrush High School. This also involves local and national businesses. 

We also support practically and financially people referred to us by our local housing association and others  organisations. 

We are also, cautiously, growing links with a project to establish a school in Africa.
