Section D: Achievements and Performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year The church's trustees are pleased to report that 2024 was another successful year in furthering the church's stated vision and mission, primarily aimed at advancing the Christian faith in our immediate communities and beyond by establishing ntreS for vibrant prayer, teaching, and material and moral support. The Church built on previous years, sucSseS in its regular weekly programs and outreach activities, improving service delivery aided by upgraded Infomation Technology and Public Address systems and restructuring departmental committees such as the Welfare Team, Evangelism and Follow-up Committee and Youth Department. Regular church workers, meetings and Training seminars were conducted to ensure the various departments of the church remain coordinated, united and focused on the church's vision. This has resulted in better overall planning and performan of our main activities. The monthly Thanksgiving and Communion Servi on the first Sunday of the month remains popular and the best-attended of the regular WklY programs. Core midweek events such as Bible Studies, a Young Adult forum, and various Prayer meetings still take place solely online. One of the most notable highlights was the church's Baptism service for seventeen individuals who completed a nine-week Discipleship class before their baptism and were received into full church membership This event showcased the church's commitment to equipping new believers with sound doctrine and a spiritual foundation. The Trustees are also delighted to report the continued growth of the church plant in Corby, Northamptonshire, both in numerical terms and in its various community programs for distinct groups such as children, young adults, and families. The Corby Church's first anniversary celebration marked a key milestone in February. This event drew over a hundred attendees from the local community and other towns in England. It served as a day of celebration, worship, and witness to the local community, showcasing the church's accomplished worship ministry, warm fellowship, and generous hospitality. The occasion was graced by the District Coordinating Council's Superintendent, based in London, who delivered an impactful and encouraging message for the event. Over the 2nd weekend of November, the church held its 13th anniversary On Saturday. the church organised an evangelistic outreach to the local community in Luton Town Centre, followed by a prayer meeting in the church auditorium. The lebratiOn weekend culminated in the Sunday Thanksgiving service. This year's event was kept relatively low-key compared to previous occasions following the passing of a beloved family member and TAR 2024 April 2025
Section D: Achievements and Performance close associate to the church. Even though the tone of the anniversary weekend changed unavoidably, the event was well organised and successful. The church was spiritually blessed, comforted, and encouraged by the theme. Manifestation of God's Glory. It was truly a glorious occasion for which we thank God. As a church. God has remained faithful to us as we continue to witness growth numerically and spiritually, evidenced by personal testimonies and increased participation in church programs. Last year, it was reported that our landlord had notified the church of their intention to sell the property. Consequently, the church was uncertain about how the building sale would affect its tenancy. Towards the end of the year, the property was indeed sold to another religious organisation, which had stated that it intended to continue with the current tenants. Despite this, we continue to search for an appropriate building, particularly one that will provide a more suitable teaching environment for the children, considering our increasing numbers. As we advan, the church remains committed to the mission of fostering spiritual growth, increased communty engagement and personal spiritual and moral development of our youth. Section E Financial review We continue to plan towards the purchase of a property for our use in our area of operation. To this end, a resenrfe is maintained in a Premium Account with Barclays Bank. A regular monthly transfer is being made into this account with occasional donations from members. This Is to enable us to prepare for the required deposit for the mortgage.
