Constitution

Trust

Members elected as deacons automatically become Managing Trustees

All incoming Managing Trustees are required to read the relevant documents, and to attend (whenever possible) the regular Managing Trustee meetings.

Ongoing review to identify and deal with major risks is implicit in the purpose of each Managing Trustee meeting.

THE PURPOSES OF THE CHURCH SHALL BE:(1) THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BASIS OF FAITH PRIMARILY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN GORSEINON AND THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBOURHOOD: AND (2) SUCH OTHER CHARITABLE PURPOSES AS SHALL, IN THE OPINION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH IN A CHURCH MEETING, FURTHER THE WORK OF THE CHURCH.

Worship services twice each Sunday. Meetings for youth and younger children weekly in term time. Prayer Meetings/Bible Studies weekly. Monthly Coffee Morning and monthly midweek service. Support for Christian workers at home and abroad. Participation in community annual Lantern Parade. Engagement with local schools. Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on community benefit.

Sunday Morning and Evening services each Sunday, open to all. Monday Club for younger children. Average attendance was 6. Youth Meeting weekly during school terms, for older children and teenagers. Attendance averaged 8. Wednesday monthly Coffee Morning, open to all. Attendance varied from about 12-24. Prayer Meeting/Bible Study/Missionary Meeting every Tuesday, mainly attended by church members. Monthly midweek service downstairs for those who find it difficult to access the main building on Sundays. Open to all.[Attendance averaged about 16-20.] Members continued to donate to local food banks. We supported the Gorseinon Christmas Lantern Parade, providing refreshments and literature and use of our facilities. Post-Covid we were able to resume contact with local schools. At Easter our Pastor visited one of the schools, and in the autumn there was a school visit to the church for Harvest Festival. We continued to support a UK prisons worker, 2 families doing Christian work abroad and one family doing Christian work in the UK.
