The COVID-19 Pandemic continued for the period under review, to safeguard the lives of members of the Charity, the Trustees agreed to their sentiments that live, face-to-face services remain suspended. For this reason, the Church services remained online through zoom and Facebook live throughout the year under review. The online services turned out to be a blessing in disguise with much more people joining us online. We are pleased to report there was success on all key sectors in which we operate before the lockdown. Under each subheading, we outline progress in the year under review. ## 1.Spiritual Growth. Arise Metropolitan Assembly continued to experience consolidation and expansion in advancement of Christian Religion, one of our core mission foci. Through our outreach to the entire Church worldwide as the Global School of Ministry, Global Advanced Mentorship Program, these specific objectives were achieved: 1.1. Reformation of the Christian Church; More ministries and congregations continue to embrace the Kingdom concept developed by Arise Metropolitan Assembly which postulates that a Living Church should operate as a School of Ministry where believers are transitioned to become disciples and discover their gifts and callings rather than a Theatre where a tiny professional Priestly caste minister to a large, dormant laity who come into church buildings at designated times to 'consume' spiritual food. 1.2. Restoration of the Fivefold; Arise Metropolitan Assembly continues to play a leading role in restoration of The Offices of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher that Jesus charged collectively to empower the saints for the work of ministry according to Ephesians 4: 11-16. As reported in previous years, more congregations across the UK, Europe and rest of the world are embracing this paradigm. 1.3.Revival; Arise Metropolitan Assembly continues to be blazing the trail in teaching saints to depend on Jesus as their Head. As more saints embrace this message, they are becoming His disciples, loving the Father fervently and inclined to obey His Word, enjoying personal revival. 1.4. Family-themed ministry; During the period under review; Arise Metropolitan Assembly continued to provide an enabling opportunity for both Children and the Youths to be involved in the Congregation's life. They were assigned to do the Bible Readings, serve, and take part actively. They also took one Sunday Service completely. During the period under review, we gave our Now Generation or senior Youths the Opportunity to preach on some Sunday services. A detailed training programme to prepare them for ministry was also started in January with the first set on course to complete the project later in December. 2022. 1.5. Transformation of Church; from Cold Religious Organisation based on subscription to denominational Creeds to an Organism of saints who are in a relationship with God. More Churches and Ministries in the UK, Europe and Africa received the prospectus of the Global School of Ministry which they are now implementing. 1.6. Evangelism is conducted consistently; Though we did not hold our Church services in the normal format, many of our members went into the Community to share the love of God in Jesus. Over 10, 000 thousand Tracts were printed and distributed in furtherance of that purpose during our outreaches in Market places and street evangelism. 1.7. Our Prayer team; Frontline Intercessors built on the previous year of greater operational efficiency, with pairs of intercessors on duty each hour of the day leading to 24/7 coverage. The team prayed for Her late Majesty the Queen in her last year alive, the Royal Family; the Prime Minister, Cabinet and Parliament; the leadership and members of Arise Metropolitan Assembly and the Elm Park Community; Hornchurch City; London Borough of Havering and the United Kingdom. This became the fulcrum of the Global Prayer Taskforce to Degrade & Eliminate COVID-19. 1.8. Multi-racial Outlook; Arise Metropolitan Assembly continued the growth towards being a multi-racial and multi-national congregation with members drawn from several African nations, some nations in the West Indies/ The Caribbean, the English and two whose roots are in Hong Kong. 1.9. Supporting other Congregations in the United Kingdom; The Christian message is about love, sharing, and caring. During the period under review, Arise Metropolitan Assembly sent volunteers to support other congregations and ministries in training, evangelism and prayer in some cities. 1.10. Ministers Networking; Arise Metropolitan Assembly continued to undergird the work of the International President of 2 of 11 ## ARISE METROPLITAN ASSEMBLY Report of the Trustees Continued ## For the year ended 30 June 2022 International Ministers Fellowship by supporting our Overseers who function as International President. The Global Conference of the Fellowship was largely transitioned online through the effective services of members of Arise Metropolitan Assembly. 1.11. Global Mission; In line with Acts 1:8, we inspired many Christians across the world to make a commitment to engage in Missions. ## 2.Charitable During the period under review, we continued to expand our commitment to engage in Charitable deeds just like Jesus did in Acts 10:38. They were performed through these channels: 2.1. Holistic Ministry; As a congregation, Love which is manifested in caring for the holistic needs of people - spirit, soul, and body - is central to our ministry. Members who are in need are provided both individual Pastoral Care and financial help and provision of raw food. 2.2. Through the Global Mission Board; our outreach arm, individual members of the Congregation and their families provided for feeding of those in need. ## 3. Community Impact Arise Metropolitan Assembly foundationally believes that affecting the operating environment as Salt and Light is imperative. We undertook these activities within our host Community, Elm Park Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering: 3.1.Elm Park Day - we continued to be participants in the annual event which brings together the whole Community. Due to the pandemic, there was no physical gathering, but we recorded some Christmas song which was aired by London Borough of Havering during the Online Illumination event. 3.2.Relationship with Elm Park Councillors and The Neighbourhood - we continued to be in touch and attended the community meeting for the hall users. 3.3.Patronage of Local Stores - Our contribution to regeneration of Elm Park is further pursued by the deliberate patronage of local business by our congregants. 3.4.Christmas Cards - We printed and distributed Christmas cards to residents of Elm Park, London Borough of Havering and across other parts of the UK. Services affected by the Covid-19 lockdown. Due to ongoing restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our regular commitments and community outreaches were suspended until a more opportune time. - 3.1. Arise Metropolitan Assembly continued; to touch lives of the Homeless and those who sleep rough, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Homeless shelter we support was closed during this period. 3.2. Romford Market Breakfast; the COVID-19 Pandemic caused the stoppage of this project. It will resume when the Pandemic is over. 3.3. Mentorship Support; Leaders of Arise Metropolitan Assembly used to provide voluntary mentorship support for those coming out of addiction run by Ahava Community. The Pandemic led to shutting down of this vital community project. 3.4. Sunday Afternoon Community Lunch; The Pandemic led to shutting down of this vital community project after the lockdown on March 22. We have not met in a physical congregation since then. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** **Name of Charity** ARISE METROPLITAN ASSEMBLY **Charity registration number** 1163366 **Principal address** 18 HARRIER CLOSE HORNCHURCH RM12 5LR 3 of 11 ARISE METROPLITAN ASSEMBLY Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 30 June 2022 ## **Trustees** The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: ## **Independent examiner** Mrs Grace O Akalonu Mrs Maruwa E Muteweri Mrs Edna Uloma Ahuama CHRIS ATKINS SERVICES ONE LIMITED OFFICE 310, ACCESS SELF STORAGE UNIT 1, MERIDIAN TRADING ESTATE 20, BUGBY'S WAY LONDON SE7 7SF Approved by the Board of Trustees and signed on its behalf by ............................................................................. 30 March 2023 Mrs Grace O Akalonu 4 of 11 ## ARISE METROPLITAN ASSEMBLY Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the year ended 30 June 2022 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2022. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
