## **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 administrative and financial activities of Dome of Grace International Church. The trustees do not interfere with spiritual matters of the church, as this area is managed by the Church’s Council and led by the presiding Reverend Minister and associate ministers). The trustees ensure the smooth the day-to-day management of the church's businesses in accordance with the organisational objectives and in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance of trustees.

- Our AGM enables the trustees to make amendments to Annual Trustees Report (TAR), if any, before the TAR is uploaded onto the Charity Commission’s website by 31[st] January. This year, we were fortunate to have our AGM on the 22[nd] January, 2023 in our church hall The meeting started at 1:30pm and ended at 3:30pm. In attendance were all the Trustees, Church Council Members, members of the church and our independent accountant (as observer). The Lead Trustee led the AGM by presenting the 2022 accounts (1[st] January 2022 to 31[st] December 2022). Our AGM includes all achievements, management (including financial control) and a summary of financial records for the year 2022. Aa a custom, our PowerPoint summary of the church’s plans for 2023 were presented electronically on all TV screens in the church hall. We gave attendees the opportunity to ask questions after the presentation and responded accordingly and where clarifications needed, lead Trustee, supported by our independent Accountant ensured that financial report is well understood by all present. Our AGM is always an important to the trustees and is well-attended by our members as it is an opportunity to answer their questions and queries, s their form majority of all our donors. All feedback from our donors are later analysed to improve our services to them and the community we serve. Without a doubt, this year’s meeting was one of the best for a long time. All praise and thanks belong to God continually provide for
**TAR** 3 **Dome of Grace International Church**
our cherished members - our main donors.
## **3. Church Members**
Our church’s membership is free and 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 year, the leadership of the Dome of Grace |International Church reminded all members of their individual membership categories as explained last year in our trustees’ annual report, as reviewed by the Church Council:
**Full Member** , **Partial Member** , and **Friends of Dome of Grace.** We strive to achieve and support all categories of church members status, accordingly and fairly. Being a member of our Church comes with some well-thought benefits and responsibilities. Our 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. These include membership donations to bereaved members, visitation to members who are down in their spirit, support for members and non-members (within our budget) going through various difficult situations to encourage them. We also support members who are ill (short term or long term). In extreme cases, members extreme financial difficulties are given a one-off lumpsum donation to temporary ease them of that burden. That said, we are a non-profitable organisation and not a loan-giving association.
We always celebrate the arrival of a new baby into our church community by showing love in kind or cash from an annual budget from church’s coffers.
## **4. Risk Management**
As church's main objective is to glorify our God. Whilst it is the church's policy to expect members to have faith in God, which we inherently believe will work out God purpose in our lives, we also ensure members are always safe whilst they are in our custody (especially, children). For the Trustees achieve this our main objective, collectively, the leadership strives to encourage all members to be responsible for their safety at church, by way of empowering individuals, to identify and manage potential risk faced by them and any other member wen fellowship at the church premises.
The Trustees have therefore put in place a Risk Management Policy which was last reviewed in May 2022 to conform with latest legislations. Risk Management Policy at Dome of Grace International Church emphasizes the guidance for assessing major risks to which our church members could be exposed to. This policy also highlights, especially, certain specific operational areas of the Church, how to control risk to the minimum, and procedures to follow, should te unexpected happens. The Trustees and the Church Council are satisfied that there is nothing known to us as church posing any form
**TAR** 4 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
of risk as of the time of writing this report.
## **5. Policies and Procedures**
Our essential operational aims of Dome of Grace International Church are to maintain law, order, peace and members’ satisfaction. Therefore, we have penned down the following policies for our members to adhere to:
- Safeguarding Policy,
- Conflict Resolution Policy,
- Child Protection Policy,
- Equal Opportunity Policy
- Risk Assessment Policy.
- Complaint Handling Policy,
- Finance and Financial Control Policy,
- GDPR Compliant and Data Handling Policy, and
- Church Visitation policy.
It is the duty of our Trustees and Church leaders to ensure members strive adhere to policies. All our policies are normally reviewed every two years and re-enforced by the Church Council (which includes all the Trustees). We treat all our policy documents, essential. 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:**_
- We ensure utmost 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, therefore, racism has no place in
**TAR** 5 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
## 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.
## 1. _**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**
**TAR** 6 **Dome of Grace International Church**
In accordance with the Constitution of Dome of Grace International Church, our core objective is 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.
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
- 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 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 large, as Trustees from time to time may think fit.
**Summary of the main** The Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission's **activities** guidance on public benefits, especially, the specific guidance on **undertaken** charities for the advancement of religion.

**TAR** 7 **Dome of Grace International Church**
donations to include Mental Health victims.
## **2. Donations to the poor and needy**
From 2018 to date, we started supporting an orphanage in Ghana (Kumasi). This year asked members to donate second-hand clothing to the church. Thankfully, we were able to ship these clothing twice in 2022 to the orphanage. We ensured there were enough clothing for these poor orphans because the church buys extra new clothing to top it up. This year we were able top up with £1500 in total for the purchase of the clothing to support these orphans. We strongly believe Christianity is built on showing love to others and making life better for the disadvantaged in our communities.
## **3. Our Youth**
Again, just like every year, the women ministry of the church takes the initiative of ensuring our youth are happy and brought up in the teachings of the Bible. 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 quality of lives and mental health. These sessions were aimed at tackling difficult social and challenging issues faced by the modern youth. The sessions are more like talk-shows, where the youth discuss topics on healthy relationships with the opposite sex, making informed life decisions, having difficult conversation with youth, knife crimes, loneliness, career searching opportunities and choices, personal hygiene, becoming an adult, volunteering, spiritual life and many more.
Adult volunteers within the men and women ministries lead on these sessions. However, we sometimes we invite external resource persons to lead sessions. These programmes are open to all youth from our community. Attendance is always high.

## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievement s of the charity during the year**
We are an independent, culturally diverse, vibrant and charismatic Bible-believing church in Coventry (England). We get our congregation from a wide range of cultures across Coventry city and sometimes from nearby cities and towns. We cater for all age groups with great diversity. Over the last ten years, Dome of Grace International church has maintained a strong presence in our community with regards to the good work we do. We have been able to forge good relationship and collaborate well with other churches and religious faiths in Coventry in pursuant of achieving our long and short-term goals.
As we do every year, we have rate activities and departments in the church by conducting members’ survey on the last Sunday in December collate information to improve on areas we are not doing well as a church from an observer’s point of view. This yearly accountability exercise has been truly rewarding.
From our findings, we gather from members’ feedback, out of a 100%:
## _**1. Family Worship Service (88%)**_
_**2. Mental Health Activities (96%)**_
_**3. Youth Programmes (100%)**_

## **Section E Financial review**
## **Brief**
**statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
Our operating reserve policy as a church ensures stability of our church’s vision mission, programmes, services, and ongoing operations of the church are not cut off. Our Operating Reserve, this year is £45 000. This an accumulation of previous years’ reserves to date. The reserve is intended to provide an internal source of funds for situations such as a sudden increase in expenditure, one-time unbudgeted expenses, unanticipated loss in funding, or uninsured losses. More importantly, the reserve is our hope for a deposit for mortgage for our own church premises. The Reserve is there for a one off non-recurring expenses that will build long-term capacity, such as staff development, research and
**TAR** 11 **Dome of Grace**
**International Church**
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. As usual, our trustees have a responsibility of protecting our operational reserve and will not lean on it even in during this year when prices are high.

**TAR** 12 **Dome of Grace International Church**
**Section F Other optional information**
## **1. Strategies for next year:**
The church strategy for next year will not be very different from the years before. We aim to invest in more volunteers in area of evangelism, counselling, and financial support in the Ministry to push ministerial work forward. We will again continue to invest in activities that will attract more youth to turn to Christ Jesus, and to motivate them that there is still hope in Christ, even if they have messed up their lives in relation to social vices. We will continue to have our summer socialising fayre and strive feed the hungry and disadvantaged people in our community. We will intensify our outreach evangelism (which was rated lowest two years in a roll) to encourage new members to worship with us.
The Church is still actively searching on the market for a new property to buy and use as our permanent place of worship. This is because the Trustees are anticipating a 100% increase in congregation in the next couple of years and we would not fit into our current place.
## **2. Plans for 2023:**
We believe God and that He 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 mankind. Our plans for 2023 are mostly a repeat of previous years:
- Deepen the faith of our members, give free consultation and counselling sessions.
- Increase our outreach evangelism in surrounding towns to Coventry and do more visitations.
- Plan an all-inclusive students’ Ministry in FE institutions in Coventry.
- Embarking on our five-year plan of buying a larger and permanent place of worship.
- Investing in purposeful workers and leaders’ trainings to increase productivity.
- Continue to support Charities.
- Supporting the poor and needy in different circumstances.

The Trustees hereby present the Annual Report together with the Financial Statements of Dome of Grace International Church for the year ending 31st March 2023.

**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/ members** DOME OF GRACE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH **of** 31[ST] MARCH 2023 **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 31/03/2023.
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.
1
**IER**
**October 2018**
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.
