## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**
**TAR** 2 **Dome of Grace International Church**
## **1. Organisational Structure:**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about:
The trustees manage all the affairs of Dome of Grace International Church, with the except of spiritual matters of the church (managed by the Church’s Council and led by the presiding Reverend Minister). The trustees are responsible for the day-to-day management of the church's business in accordance with the Church's objectives and in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance of trustees.
- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of **2. Annual General Meeting (AGM)** trustees;
It is the collective responsibility of the Trustees and the Church Council to present a summary of the financial record of the church, administration, maintenance and church activities that transpired within the calendar year to the Church members. This meeting is scheduled for an agreed Sunday in January (Before the first trustees’ meeting of the year). At our AGM, light refreshments and pastries are

- normally served to compliment members for their continued support for the church, year on and year on.
- relationship with any related parties;
- We convene the AGM so that all amendments of Annual Trustees
- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
- Report (TAR), if any, made before the TAR is uploaded on the Charity Commission’s website by 31[st] January. This year, we were fortunate to have our AGM on the 21[st] January 2022 after our face-to-face Sunday church service with COVID-19 safety rules in place. The meeting started at 1.45pm and lasted for an hour and half. In attendance were all the Trustees, Church Council Members, and the independent accountant (as observer). The Lead Trustee led the AGM by presenting the 2021 accounts: spanning from 1[st] January 2021 to 31[st] December 2021). The AGM includes all achievements, management (including financial control) and a summary of financial records for the year 2021. A PowerPoint summary of the church’s plans for 2022 was also presented electronically on a screen. After the presentation there was opportunity for members to ask questions. Questions from members were answered accordingly and clarified by lead Trustee and supported by independent Accountant on some aspects from the financial report. Our AGM is always an important and well-attended meeting by members as it is an opportunity to answer their questions and queries. From feedback form members and trustees’ analysis, this year’s meeting was successful and we are thankful to our cherished members are our main donors for their various inputs.
## **3. Church Members**
Our church’s membership is freely open to everyone who by the grace of God shows the embedded faith in the gospel Lord Jesus Christ in him or her, the desire to worship with us and serve God in line with the basic and true Christian principles as stipulated in church’s Statement of Faith which is grounded in the Holy Bible. This
**TAR** 3 **Dome of Grace International Church**
year, the leadership of the Dome of Grace |International Church reminded all members of their individual membership categories following review of the Church Council membership register last year.
Membership is now classified as _**full Member**_ , _**Partial Member**_ , and _**Friends of Dome of Grace.**_ All Church members fit into one of the criteria for membership status. Members do not pay any registration fee to join Dome of Grace International Church, since Christianity is based on love and giving back to society. Being a member of our Church comes with some well-thought benefits and responsibilities. These include, a membership donation to a bereaved member, , visitation to members who are down or going through difficult situation to encourage them, members who are ill and or hospitalised, and in extreme cases, members face issue that warrant a one-off lump sum donation. We always celebrate the arrival of a new baby into our church community. These charitable commitments are managed by the Visitations and Hospitality team, but in consultation with the Trustees. These kinds of donations are usually in kind or cash from an annual budget from church’s coffers.
## **4. Risk Management**
As a rule, the church's primary aim and objective is to glorify our God. Whilst it is the church's policy to expect members to have faith in God to work out His purpose to end in their lives, we ensure that keep members safe at all times. For the Trustees achieve this primary aim, the leadership of the church strives to encourage all members to be responsible for their safety by empowering individuals, to identify and manage potential risk faced by any member before it turns awry.
The Trustees have therefore put in place a Risk Management Policy which was last reviewed in June 2021 to conform with latest legislation for COVID -19. The Risk Management Policy streamlines the guidance for assessing major risks to which our church members could be exposed to. This policy, highlights especially on certain specific operational areas of the Church, how to control risk to the barest minimum, and procedures to adhere to. The Trustees and the Church Council are satisfied that there is nothing known to us as church leadership, that will pose any form of risk as at the time of writing this report.
## **5. Policies and Procedures**
One of the operational aims of Dome of Grace International Church is to maintain law, order, peace and members’ satisfaction. We have already put in place the following policies for our members:
- Safeguarding Policy,
- Conflict Resolution Policy,
- Child Protection Policy,
- Equal Opportunity Policy
- Risk Assessment Policy.
- Complaint Handling Policy,
**TAR** 4 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
- Finance and Financial Control Policy,
- GDPR Compliant and Data Handling Policy, and
- Church Visitation policy.
It is the duty of all the Trustees and Church leaders to ensure that we strictly adhere to our policies. All our policies are normally reviewed every two years and enforced by the Church Council (which includes all the Trustees) as and when needed. We treat all our policy documents as especially important. For instance:
## 1. _**Safeguarding Policy:**_
The Trustees and the Safeguarding Officer are tasked to ensure that both adults and children are safe in the church hall and outside the church hall. Where there is a disclosure or suspicion of abuse, our Safeguarding Officer will act swiftly to investigate, deal with it, if this is a minor issue. Where the issue must involve external agencies and the police in line with safeguarding laws in England and Wales, we will do so. All disclosure, suspicion, investigations, and discussions are recorded and saved securely and precisely with utmost confidentially to conform with Data Protection law in England and Wales
## 2. _**Equal Opportunity Policy:**_
At Dome of Grace International Church, we pride ourselves with the love and respect we give to every member. We treat everyone as equal; irrespective of your colour, race, political affiliations, educational background, disabilities, rich or poor and what have you. We are a Christian-based organisation where members believe that all men and women are created equally by God. Racism has no place in among members.
We also value God’s command to “Love your neighbour as yourself” and believe this is universal command for all Christians. We recognise that in the general society, groups and individuals have been, and will continue to be discriminated against, based on race, sex, marital status, disability, sexuality, age and religious belief, so this policy debars any form of unequal opportunity among members. We also believe that discrimination against any members on any ground whatsoever, is unacceptable and does not serve the purposes of God for humankind. The aim of Dome of Grace International Church regarding this policy is therefore, to provide genuine equality of opportunity to our culturally diverse members.
**TAR** 5 **Dome of Grace International Church**
## 3. _**Child Protection Policy**_ :
Child Protection at church is as important as in schools. We therefore, always endeavour to protect the interest of the child. We, therefore, have an open-door policy that enables us to collaborate to work with all government agencies and the police when the need arises. We ensure that we carry out Criminal Records Bureau checks (DBS) prior to the commencement of any work or trusteeship in the church. We also do Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on volunteers who work with children in the church. These checks are carried out in every two years, in line with statutory requirements.
All our policies in place are in line with the church’s constitutional and operational objectives and the Trustees work so hard to ensure each policy is adhered to. All policies are open to review at an agreed time.
## **Section C Objectives and activities**
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
In accordance with the Constitution of Dome of Grace International Church, our objectives are still the **advancement of the Christian faith** for the public benefit by:
- Holding church meetings, organising lectures, producing and distributing Christian literature to enlighten others about Christianity and tell them about Christ through our outreach programmes and broadcasting on social media and radio stations evangelistic teaching messages to humankind.
- Promoting the spiritual and moral welfare of the society. To achieve this, the trustees will ensure the church endeavours to relieve members sickness and financial hardship, promotes and preserves good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support within our members and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world. The Trustees from time to time may assess the feasibility of this objective.
- Establishing and running Churches to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world, as Trustees from time to time think fit.
- To advance Christian education, especially in the youth, in such ways that it will make them useful and well-directed citizens for the future in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world at

**Summary of the main** The Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission's **activities** guidance on public benefits and especially, the specific guidance on **undertaken** charities for the advancement of religion. In this difficult year, where **for the public benefit in** people’s mental health have been impacted so much, we continued to **relation to** carry out the following activities to benefit the public to promote the **these objects** Gospel of Jesus Christ (to whom we trust and owe allegiance to): **(include within this 1.

As a Church and a Charity, one of our core aims is to continually support the needy, homeless and the hopeless, not only in our prayers, but also in the form of donations in kind or cash. It is in this selfless giving that makes us fulfil scripture. Year on and year on, the Trustees have ensured that every year there are scheduled dates for donating food items and toiletries to the Coventry ‘Food Bank’ and give Cash donation to the ‘Zoe’s Place’ in Coventry. We also ensured that members who lost their jobs and poor and disadvantaged families lacked nothing during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, by doing grocery shopping for them fortnightly. This was a huge relief for these families, This year, we extended our donations to include Mental Health Foundation too.
## **2. Donations to the poor and needy**
Since 2018 we have continually supported an orphanage in Kumasi, a city in Ghana. We collect second-hand clothing and every four months we ship these items to the orphanage.
We ensure there are always enough clothing for these disadvantaged people whenever we ship the clothing to them. We do this by buying extra new clothing to top it up. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has affected the church’s finance drastically, we were able ship items to the tune of £1200 twice to support these orphans. We had to do this, although a financially difficult year, as an act of obedience to our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and as a service and support to the disadvantaged international communities. We believe Christianity is all about showing love to others, especially, making life better for our disadvantaged in society.
## **3. Our Youth**
Again, just like year, the women ministry of the church in the wake of
**TAR** 7 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
the challenges coronavirus presented in England, ensured our youth are happy and free of ant mental health issue they might face. In fact, our youth ministry flourished against all odds. The leadership of the church, spearheaded by the Youth Ministry In collaboration with the Women Ministry organise fortnightly sessions for pre-teens and teenagers to keep them engaged and active to improve their mental health. The sessions were aimed at tackling difficult and challenging issues face by the modern youth, especially, during the coronavirus pandemic era. These activities included of online and face-to-face Talk shows and discussions aimed at answering the many questions youth were brooding over alongside strategies to stay focused in life, effective management of finances, killing boredom during the coronavirus lockdowns, relationships with the opposite sex, making informed decisions, having difficult conversation, knife crimes, career opportunities and choices, personal hygiene, becoming an adult, volunteering, spiritual life and many more. We are fortunate as a church and charity to have a strong youth leadership ministry.
Adults’ volunteer within the men and women ministries lead these sessions but sometimes we invite external resource persons to lead sessions. These programmes are open to other youth from far and near and always attendance were encouraging.
Our shadowing programme is the popular among the youth, has been postponed for two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. hearts this year too
## **4. Variety Show**
As a church we are blessed with many talents, both old and new. In December we had an awesome Variety Show to commemorate mental awareness in the community. The show out-doored old and new talents in the church and even those from outside the church membership. We did many activities that night from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, ranging from: ‘Ball in the bucket’, Pin in the needle’, ‘Egg and Spoon Race’, ‘Bible Verse competition’, ‘Pick Me and Act’, ‘Cultural Displays’, ‘Sack Race’, Musical Chairs’ and our popular Dancing Competition. Unfortunately, this year, we were unable to do the unmissable ‘Miss Dome of Grace’ beauty pageant, many people did not register early enough to prepare contestants for the activities. Next year we will encourage especially the youth to register early to prepare them adequately for the necessary preparations. We prove especially to our youth that there can be a lot of fun in the house of God.
## **4. Other Activities**
This year we were fortunate to secure funds from the Coventry City
**TAR** 8 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
Council (Community Resilience Team) to advocate for all residents of Coventry to go for the COVID-19 vaccines and keep families and friends, and for that matter the whole Coventry safe. We indulged in so many activities including outreach programmes, talk shows, online shows, taking people to vaccination points to be vaccinated and you name them. Our selected volunteers chose to do that to debar the myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccination and to encourage people to go for the vaccines.
We also secured another funding to create awareness for mental health form the Lottery funds. We were able to host a special breakfast session to commemorate the national mental health week, where we opened our days to everyone in the city, including the homeless and the disadvantaged. We had three sessions of mental health talks shows where we invited resource persons to educate us on mental health and were able to fund our youth trip to Drayton Manor to promote their mental health and more.
In fact, these funds really bolted us to embark on these imported activities which directly fits into our aims and objectives as a charity.

## **Section E Financial review**
Our operating reserve policy as a church ensures stability of our **Brief** church’s mission, programmes, employment, and ongoing operations **statement of** of the church are not cut off. Our Operating Reserve, which was **the charity’s** £25,000 last year has been increased to £40,000 this year. The **policy on** reserve is intended to provide an internal source of funds for **reserves** situations such as a sudden increase in expenditure, one-time unbudgeted expenses, unanticipated loss in funding, or uninsured losses. The Reserve is there for a one off non-recurring expenses that will build long-term capacity, such as staff development, research and development, low-risk investment opportunities, starting a new church branch, or initial deposit for purchasing the church’s permanent place of worship.
Dome of Grace International church’s operating reserves does not replace any permanent loss of funds or eliminate an ongoing budget gap. It is the intention of the trustees to ensure the Operating Reserves to be used and replenished within reasonably short period only. The Operating Reserve Policy has been implemented in accordance with the other governance and financial polices of Dome of Grace International Church and is intended to support the goals and strategies contained in these related policies and in strategic and operational plans. Although, this year has been a very difficult
**TAR** 11 **Dome of Grace International Church**
year which had a serious toll on church income, the Trustees protected of the operational reserve and did not lean on it even in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

## **Section F Other optional information**
## **Strategies for next year:**
The church strategy for next year will not be very different from the last two years. We aim to invest in more volunteers in the Ministry to push ministerial work forward. We will continue to invest in activities that will attract more youth to turn to Christ Jesus, and to motivate them that there is still hope, even if they have messed up their lives in relation to social vices. We aim to bring back our summer to socialise and feed the hungry and disadvantaged people in our community, as we are hopeful the coronavirus would have subsided by then. We aim to intensify our outreach evangelism (which was rated lowest) to encourage new members to come to church and worship
**TAR** 12 **Dome of Grace International Church**
with us. We also aim to support the poor and needy in our community.
The Church is still actively looking for new property to buy as our permanent place of worship and we continue to save money towards this project. This is because the Trustees are anticipating a 100% increase in congregation in the next couple of years and we would not fit in our current place.
## **Plans for the future:**
Dome of Grace International Church believes God always makes His way amidst uncertainties, and that everything is in God’s control and without Him we cannot be effective in our planning and the service we render to people.
Coronavirus or no coronavirus God has always been central to all our plans and decisions. Our plans for this year are still a repeat of previous years as most of them are working progress:
- Save more non-Christians who seem to have lost all hope in life through or online platforms.
- Deepen the faith of our members, give free consultation, and create more prayer meetings.
- Increase our outreach programmes in surrounding towns to Coventry and do more visitations.
- Well planned all-inclusive students’ Ministry in Colleges and Universities in Coventry.
- Assessing sustenance to five-year plan of buying a larger and permanent place of our own.
- Investing in purposeful Trainings for leaders and workers in the church.
- Supporting more Charities locally and internationally.
- Giving more to the poor and needy.

**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/ members** DOME OF GRACE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH **of** 31[ST] MARCH 2022 **Charity** 1162575 **On accounts for the no (if year ended any) Set out on pages** 1, 2 and 3
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2022.
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is needed, the accounts do not exceed £250 000.
It is my responsibility to
- Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act).
- To follow the procedure laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7) (b) of the Act, and
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Direction given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by Dome of Grace International 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 explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit as afore mentioned and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material **examiner's** matters have come to my attention in connection with the **statement** examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
