## **Statement of Faith**
We believe that the entire Bible is inspired by God, its without error and it’s the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine.
We believe in the Triune nature of God. We believe that Salvation is a free gift which is readily available to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ.
Marriage is a divine institution ordained between man and woman.
We believe in spreading the love of Jesus Christ by supporting Missionaries and by extending a helping hand to the destitute and the needy.
The Church of the Living God is a self-funded Christian organisation. The majority of its income is derived from voluntary contributions by its members, including tithes, offerings, missionary donations, and designated giving for children’s support.
The Trustees are grateful for the generosity of members and well-wishers whose sacrificial giving has enabled CLG to make a meaningful impact locally and internationally. The predominantly Asian diaspora membership has facilitated strong partnerships and outreach initiatives across several Asian countries, alongside projects serving the local UK community.

The Trustees of the Charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; and consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to:

- to follow the procedures specified in general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- 1) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act;
- and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met;
or
