## **2. Annual General Meeting (AGM)** 

It is the collective responsibility of the Trustees and the Church Council to present  a  summary  of  the  financial  record  of  the  church,  administration, monitoring systems and all church activities that transpired within during 2023 to the congregation. An agreed date scheduled for AGM on a Sunday in January (Before the first trustees’ meeting of the year) is communicated to the congregation in advance. At our AGM, light refreshments and pastries are normally  served  to  compliment  members  support  and  commitment  to  the church. We also award and reward exceptional members’ and non-members contributions for the year. 

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 25[th] January, 2023 in our church hall. The meeting started at 12:30pm and ended at 2:30pm. 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 2023 accounts (1[st] January 2023 to 31[st] December 2023). Our AGM includes all achievements, management (including financial control) and a summary of financial records for the year 2023. Customarily, our PowerPoint summary of the church’s plans for 2024 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 because they form majority of all our donors. Feedback resulting  from  our  AGM  are  later  analysed  and  reviewed  to  improve  our services to donors and the community we serve. As a rule, this year’s meeting was amazing by a mile. Thanks be to God for continually providing for our committed 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: 

## **4. Risk Management** 

The 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 

**TAR** 3 **Dome of Grace International Church** 



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 put in place a Risk Management Policy which will be reviewed in May 2024 to conform with latest legislations if any. Our 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 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 the following policies in place for our members to adhere to: 

- Safeguarding Policy, 

- Conflict Resolution Policy, 

- Child Protection Poli 

- 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 Trustees and Church leaders to ensure members strive adhere to policies. All our policies are normally reviewed every two years and reenforced by the Church Council (which includes all the Trustees). We treat all our policy documents essential. 

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 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. 

- Promoting the spiritual and moral welfare of the society. To achieve this, the  trustees  will  ensure  the  church  endeavours  to  relieve  members 

**TAR** 4 **Dome of Grace International Church** 



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 activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these** benefit and enthuse the public to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ: **objects (include within this 1. Supporting other Charities in England and Wales: section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The Trustees have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefits, especially, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In 2023, just like the year 2022, we did not relent on such activities that benefit and enthuse the public to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ: 

As part of our core aims, we continue to support the needy, homeless and the hopeless, in our prayers, in fellowship together (as the Bible says ‘Do not forsake the assembly of the brethren’) and in 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 dates are set for donating food items and toiletries to the Coventry ‘Food Bank’ and cash donation to other Charities in England. We also ensured that members who lost their jobs, as well as the disadvantaged families supported in cash  and  kind  (grocery shopping  for them fortnightly).  These  gestures have always been welcoming to our community and serve as huge relief for families, especially, when rising living cost is rife. 

## **2. Our Youth** 

Just like 2022, this year also our women ministry took 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, life in university, difficult conversation with other 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 also led 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 remarkable.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

We are an independent, culturally diverse, vibrant and charismatic Bible-believing **Summary of the main** church in Coventry (England). We get our congregation from a wide range of **achievements** cultures across Coventry city and sometimes from nearby cities and towns. We **of the charity** cater for all age groups with great diversity. Over the last ten years, Dome of **during the year** 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%:

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

Our  operating  reserve  policy  as  a  church  ensures  stability  of  our **Brief statement** church’s vision mission, programmes, services, and ongoing **of the charity’s** operations of the church are not cut off. Our Operating Reserve, this **policy on** year is £48K. This an accumulation of previous years’ reserves to date. **reserves** 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 oneoff non-recurring expense 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.  As  usual,  our  trustees  have  a  responsibility  of protecting our operational reserve.

policy adopted. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

## **1. Strategies for next year:** 

The church strategy for next year will be like previous years. We will still 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 to feed the hungry and disadvantaged people in our community. We will intensify our outreach evangelism (which was rated lowest in 2023) to encourage new members to worship with us. 

The Church is still actively searching 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 population in the next couple of years and we would not fit into our current place. 

## **2. Plans for 2024:** 

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 2024 will be the same as 2023: 

- 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. 

## **1. Conclusion:** 

The Trustees hereby present the Annual Report together with the Financial Statements of Dome of Grace International Church for the year ending 31st March 2024. 

The Trustees also confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the church comply with the current requirements guided by the Charity Commission

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/ members of** 

DOME OF GRACE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH 

**On accounts for the year ended** 

31[ST] MARCH 2024 **Charity no (if any)** 1162575 **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. 

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 examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the 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.
