The church is a member of The Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) “AFM IM (UK)”. It has 5 main governing documents:

All board members make corporate decisions on the day to day running of the church on behalf of the congregation. All church attendees are encouraged to become full members to be eligible for election.

Following appointment and a new intake of Trustees, the first meeting includes an induction session led by the sitting Trustees and Office Bearers of the Church Board including explanations of the roles and responsibilities of trustees.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting.

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

Objectives and activities:

Achievements and Performance

This financial year has been characterised by peace, tranquility and fruitfulness in all respects. The following groups or departments are effective at Manchester Assembly.

Children’s Ministries

Children’s Ministry Leaders

Mrs Taderera and Mrs Kwangwari continue to make great effort to ensure progress in the children`s ministry. We are very much grateful for the support from all members of Glory Zone Assembly. The Church Board has a classroom availed to Children’s Ministry in its rental package with Albion Academy. In this state of the art and wellequipped classroom, children do bible related activities with the aid of modern technology. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic our normal in-person activities were disrupted. Nevertheless, we had to resort to doing our Sunday School classes on Zoom. We managed to do games and activities which are internet based.

5

Ladies Union

Sisters Union Committee

The ladies’ department is an integral part of the church and is always championing the role of the women. The department has been the mainstay of support to ladies in and outside the church through activities such as monthly fellowships, all night prayers, home visits, and spiritual support. The Ladies’ department was equally impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, hence they resorted to do their meetings on Zoom and Facebook. In response to the pandemic, the ladies’ department successfully applied for the National Lottery fund to run a 12 month project to tackle COVID-19 related issues such as loneliness, isolation and boredom within the BAME community. The project, Better Together, has so far held programmes and activities such as online zoom sessions on promoting fitness and wellbeing, mental health awareness and fun games. In addition, the project has also delivered food hampers to families who were isolating due to covid-19.

Young People’s Union

Youth Committee

The youth have been able to organise their meetings and activities via zoom and Facebook due to the Covid-19 restrictions. With the help of community funding, the youth were able to do activities to reduce isolation and address mental health issues affecting young people. These included internet games and quizzes.

Intercession Department

The intercession Team Mr Mazando Mr Chimbizi Pastor Chipere And other attendees

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the intercession segment migrated to the Zoom platform. This is the first segment of the church service where all members get together to pray. The main focus of our prayers was the need for God’s protection over the Global community especially poor communities which are impacted more by Covid-19.

6

Couples Fellowship

Committee

Couples fellowship group meets regularly for marriage enrichment programs. These include teachings on various marriage topics as well as social activities to encourage couple bonding. The couple’s meetings also migrated to the Zoom platform and by so doing the department attracted participation from couples based in other communities outside Manchester and the UK. Besides teachings and interactive discussions, we also had quizzes and games with some getting prizes.

Conferences

We are a member of AFMIM (UK). Manchester Assembly is actively involved in the Northern Region Network of churches as well as at national level. Conferences organised for and by Ladies and Youth departments were held virtually. The church also participated at the general conference virtually also.

Manchester Glory Zone Activity Review for period April 2019 to March 2020

The year in review was being run with the theme: The Year of Supernatural Restoration: Marred, Mended and Moving on (Isaiah 58:9-12, Habakkuk 3:2, Joel 2:23-29). This theme was casted on the backdrop of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on people’s health and livelihoods. This was meant to encourage our members and the community surrounding us that God is able to restore what Covid-19 destroyed in our lives.

Church Activities

Church services were conducted virtually throughout the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Zoom meetings were well-attended by the regular and virtual visitors. It was difficult to fully ascertain actual attendance as some families preferred to be in church service via one gadget.

The main national events for the church are the Annual General Conference, National Ladies’ Conference and the National Youth Conference. All these events took place virtually also.

In addition, other regional activities for which the local church participated virtually were All Night Prayer Meetings, Regional Big Sunday Service and Easter Conference.

Board/BOT/Regional Workers Council/National Workers Council

Various meetings were run virtually for the Board/BOT/RWC/NWC during the year. While local meetings are mandatory for designated officials to attend, other regional engagements were well attended virtually by local representatives.

Public benefit statement

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The church preaches and carries on its activities to benefit the public and mankind.

Financial Review

Total receipts were £54,714 (general fund £51,387, designated fund £5 and restricted fund £3,322) compared to £67,341 (general fund £65,397, designated fund £713 and restricted fund £1,231) for the previous year. This is a decrease of 19%. Detailed income lines are shown in notes 2 to 5 of the accounts. The total payments were £23,837, compared to £41,444 in the previous year. The fall in expenditure is mainly due to no rental payments this year (2020 £7,826), no community building contributions (2020 £3,443) and a reduction in employment costs. The year ended with a surplus of £29,218 (2020 £19,291).

Reserves Policy

The trustees have considered the reserves policy in light of the activities and resources available to the church. Whilst working towards building reserves equating to 6 months expenditure, the Trustees have taken a view to maintain operations whist expanding the work. The reserves at 31 March 2021, of £68,490 are in excess of £25,000 representing 6 months expenditure.
