“AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THE LAST DAYS, THAT THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOUSE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND SHALL BE EXTENDED ABOVE THE HILLS; AND ALL NATIONS SHALL FLOW INTO IT” ISAIAH 2:2

The Lord’s House shall be established and all nations shall flow into it. The Lord brought us to a successful end for the year under review. The TPC Family in the year of review was involved in both Christian outreach and general charitable programs in the United Kingdom and parts of Africa as a whole.

The Christian outreach programs were designed to increase Christian awareness and spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ while the general charitable programs involved education including the need for healthy living, safeguarding, dealing with depression, anxiety, living with children with learning disabilities, autism, dementia, relief of poverty and community development.

Development activities and achievements:

The trustees are pleased to report that the Church has been successful spiritually by ministering to many people both members and non-members in our society.

Our Achievements:

The TPC Family in the year under review organized seminars/workshops where Christian values and morals were taught with the focus on healthy living (lifestyles) and good parenting in the society. Parents were advised to keep watch over their children and support them in doing their homework.

Social Media: Zoom, Facebook, WhatsApp and YouTube. The use of social media as an outreach medium, for Seminars and workshops was very successful through the year in review.

The Use of Volunteers

In the year under review, we continued Multi-ethnic Cohesion Projects which aimed at helping to integrate in our community. Events that helped bring oneness and a sense of belonging in both our Church community and in the Society. During these projects, ONLINE talent training, musical and media workshops, and other entertainment activities were involved. Our FOOD bank project was an outstanding success supplying food three times a week throughout the year. We thank the Almighty God and also thank all the participants for the love and support throughout the project.

2. Women Ministry (Women of Praise):

The TPC Women Ministries’ Primary Task is to address the concerns and conditions of women of all ages in the congregation and community; that they may grow in their understanding of God, themselves, others, and the world, so that their quality of life may be improved through a personal faith and growth as a disciple.

The Women’s general focus for the year under review was on the following:

Studying the hopes, concerns, and needs of women in the congregation and community to determine how best to serve them and how they might best serve each other as Christian disciples and good neighbours.
Becoming familiar with the overall vision and ministry goals of the congregation and established objectives to help achieve these goals through the congregation’s ministry with women.

Plan and implement a varied and wide-ranging ministry with women, including worship, study, workshops/seminars, fellowship, and service opportunities.
Identify, enlist, train and support leaders (e.g., group leaders, mission chair, etc.) for the congregation’s women ministries.

The women ministries are committed to ensuring the mission and ministry of the congregation are supported and strengthened.

The ministry undertook various activities with the aim of helping married and single ladies to prepare for the unforeseen challenges in Marriage and relationship, donations made to various residentials homes for the elderly, and support with clothing and toiletries for the needy and homeless to shelters in and around the Wolverhampton area. The ministry in the year 2024 made a great impact and we believe there are betters years ahead.

3. Men Ministry (Men of Mission):

The men ministry in the TPC Family is a fellowship which is called to lead in the campaign of restoration of purposes for Men to fulfil their God Calling. The ministry’s primary objective is to repair the breach and restore the broken walls, streets to our dwellings (house of the Lord). To establish foundations of many generations and build the old waste places through prayers and word of God. Guiding men grow spiritually to become watchmen of their families, church (body of Christ) and true Disciples of Jesus Christ who will impact the society in the 21st Century.

The Men Ministry is within Tehillah Praise Centre-UK, but serve as a NonDenominational Group open to All Men in our society and is committed:

To encourage and lead every man to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
To teach and enlighten men of their roles in families and in the body of Christ
To stand in the gap for their families, the church and the land in prayers using the word of God.

The Fellowship met twice every month, to discuss member’s welfare, plan for community projects, study and meditate on the word of God, and occasionally hold special dinner meetings for members and visitors. Donations were made to shelters across the Wolverhampton area and support for the food bank by delivering food items to users who were unable to collect.

4. Youth Ministry:

The youth ministry in the year under review had two volunteers. Many Activities were organised in corroboration with the Executives/Trustees. Many families continue to join our church due to the effectiveness of our youth advice services, after school homework club programs and other intervention activities available to them here in Tehillah Praise Centre.

5. Children Ministry:

The Children of Zion (Children ministry) at The TPC Family has had a fundamental growth both in the intellectual knowledge of God and the physical and social growth of our children. There was an increase in the children’s department and the presence of a few children with learning difficulties gave rise to continued training of workers and volunteers.
In the year under review, learning, teaching materials and activities were planned and prepared before each service for effective delivery of the
lessons. Lessons are researched and taught to the children with the aim of their wholesome growth with more emphasis on their spiritual growth. The children’s ministry Pastor, in collaboration with the Patron researched on the curriculum that would grow and guide the children in the way of our Lord. As it is written, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”(Proverbs 22:6).
A big salutation to Elohim for granting us our daily desire and a big thank you to the Resident Pastor, Reverend Isaac Benjamin Tay, the Patron of the children ministry, Mrs. Christina Tay, the entire children ministry workers and volunteers, who worked tirelessly to make our visions and goals a success.

6. Tuesdays Counselling and Advice Services:

Through our Tuesdays and Thursdays Counselling and Advice services, we have supported the sick, poor, needy and others facing divorce, separation and various crisis in life.

7. Wednesdays Discipleship:

The TPC Family Wednesdays discipleship program has opened great doors for many people within our community to be informed about the divine knowledge of God. The discipleship program is open to all who pre- register.

8. Welfare Program:

Through our Welfare programs, donations have been given in Support of the less privileged within our community. The beneficiaries are those who

do not have access to public funds for a variety of reasons and this is a valuable means of support until their financial situation changes. The Church continue in its free distribution of food and household products through our food bank, many of these items were donated by the local church community through their freewill offering (with the assistance of individual church and non-church members). Rent support and cash donations were given to underprivileged families and individuals.

9. Corroboration:

The TPC Family is in partnership with the Organization for Better Environment and Childcare (OBECC), are still working in a corroboration to help and support families with children and young people in Derby, Derbyshire, Wolverhampton and midlands.

Through the Year of review, we have seen many Christians and nonChristians join our virtual and physical services and many re-dedicated their lives to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are still praying for the peace of the United Kingdom and the UK law makers to be filled with the knowledge and wisdom of the Almighty God.

Basis of Independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently i do not express and audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met reasonable requirements to ensure that:

Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act)
Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act: or

(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
