Throughout the year, we have continued to organise a variety of programmes, events, and outreach initiatives aimed at strengthening faith, equipping believers for Christian living, and making a meaningful contribution to the communities we serve. Our English Assembly, which is made up predominantly of young people, continues to meet at Laurel Park School, Arnos Grove (N14 7HY). Our Twi Assembly continues to hold its worship services at the Angel Community Centre, Raynham Road (N18 2JF), enabling us to minister effectively to a diverse congregation. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to our Resident Pastors and the Presbytery for their faithful leadership, unwavering commitment, and sacrificial service throughout the year. Their dedication to preaching and teaching God's Word, providing pastoral care, and leading the various ministries of the church has made a lasting impact on the lives of our members and the wider community. We are also deeply grateful to all our ministry leaders, volunteers, and members whose time, generosity, and faithful service have contributed significantly to the work of the church. Through our collective efforts and, above all, by the grace of God, we have continued to grow as a church and remain committed to fulfilling our mission of making disciples, serving our community, and bringing glory to God. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** As part of our church tradition, the theme for the year 2025 was **“The Year of the Word of God,”** based on **Hebrews 4:12** . With this theme as our focus throughout the year, church leaders, through preaching, teaching, Bible studies, and other ministry activities, encouraged members to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Word of God. Emphasis was placed on the truth that the Word of God is not merely a collection of words or a means of communicating ideas; rather, it is living, powerful, life-changing, and active in the lives of believers. Members were taught that God's Word reveals our true condition before Him, exposing both our strengths and weaknesses. It penetrates the deepest parts of our moral and spiritual lives, discerning the thoughts, intentions, and motives of the heart. Leaders continually encouraged members not only to hear and study the Word of God but also to allow it to transform their character, guide their decisions, and shape their daily lives. Through this focus, the church sought to nurture spiritually mature believers who live according to biblical principles and faithfully apply God's Word in every area of life. ## **GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The charity's only paid employee remained the Resident Pastor, **Pastor David Amoah** , who continued to provide spiritual leadership and oversee the day-to-day activities of the church. In addition, a dedicated team of volunteers supported the work of the church by assisting in the administration and coordination of its various ministries and departments. These volunteers served under the guidance and supervision of the trustees and, where necessary, were provided with appropriate training and support to help them carry out their responsibilities effectively and in accordance with the charity's objectives. ## **ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Despite the challenges encountered in previous years, the church continued to make meaningful progress throughout 2025 in fulfilling its mission to serve both its members and the wider community. This achievement was made possible through the dedication, commitment, and faithful service of our leaders and volunteers, whose efforts contributed significantly to the successful delivery of the church’s programs, ministries, and events. Presented below is a summary of the key activities undertaken during the year under review, together with the major achievements and outcomes that reflect the church’s performance and ongoing impact within the community. 2 **THE GOOD WAY APOSTOLIC CHURCH (GWAC) Reports and Financial Statements Year ended 31ST DECEMBER 2025** ## **Trustees report** ## **JANUARY 2025** ## **Crossover Night Service (31st December 2024):** In keeping with our longstanding tradition, the church gathered for a Crossover Night Service to mark the transition into the New Year.
