for
emotional/psychosocial development of
members of the ministry and the local
Communities in which we worship.
In person services have been continued on
Sundays with an option for the community
to join the service via zoom.
We have continued to retain the online
services during the week on Tuesdays and
Thursdays which has been going well.| |**Statement confirming**
whether the trustees
have had regard to the
guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on
public benefit.|Para 1.18|We are aware of the guidance on public
benefit and have taken this into account
when making decisions on church
programs.
Special community- oriented programs
such as the night of prayer and reflection
which happens once a month have been
well received by families needing a
reflective prayer time from their busy
schedules over the month, have continued
online to provide avenues to engage the
public to provide support as needed.
Many in our community have continued to
engage with our Sunday services which
start later in the
afternoon in London as it affords them time
to rest in the morning after their busy| |||schedules during the week and to still be
part of the evening church service.
We are pleased to report on the growing
young people choir and leadership training
which have gone well and has evolved
enabling our young people to be more
engaged.
Our December 2023 Levites Gospel
conference in Manchester, which featured
songs, gospel messages and seminars on
spiritual empowerment was well received by
the public as a way engaging the
community in the things of God and
supporting people in their spiritual journey.| |---|---|---| |**Achievements and**
**Performance**||| |Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to
society.|Para 1.20|God has remained faithful to his course in
our hands since our founding Pastor went to
be with the Lord in 2021.
We have had several new visits, with the
online services continuing to prove very
popular as people from various countries
join.
As a charity, our international service that
celebrates the diversity of our community
and the membership has continued to
attract new visitors: the event was hugely
successful.
Our key focus has been to continue to
provide emotional, spiritual, psychological
and practical support to our members and
the wider public.
Our online services including the once
weekly gospel session on Faith TV, have
been a huge success attracting people from
all works of life from various parts of the
world who report that they feel spiritually,
emotionally, and psychologically
empowered through the ministration of the
word as well as the practical support given
in some cases. Our services and
outreaches incorporate bible teaching
sessions, songs/ worship sessions and
corporate prayer sessions. Participants
have continued to be both socially,
emotionally empowered and spiritually
energized.| |||Like in previous years, the church held a
community barbecue on 27th of July 2024
which was well attended. We continue to
create an opportunity for dialogue,
refreshment and understanding with people
from the local community through our online
mid-week services, our face-to-face Sunday
services as well as the TV program. We
continue to be financially, spiritually
supportive of members in need including
where there has been bereavement or
unemployment.| |---|---|---| |**Achievements**
**against objectives set**|Para 1.41|Our Annual conference (Levites
conference) was held in Manchester from
15th to 17th of December 2023. This
continues to be a time of refreshing in the
presence of God. A time to recalibrate as a
ministry.
We have instituted a youth fellowship /
youth prayer meeting/ youth training which
runs every first Saturday each month. The
aim is to grow the faith in the younger
generation and engage
them in being responsible members of
society as they grow.
We also now run a special program for
women during mother’s Sunday and one for
men during Father’s Day. This year, the
special women’s program was held at
Romford Apogee studios on 10th March
2024 and the men’s special program was
held in Manchester in June. We also held
an all-church Easter retreat in Cambridge
29th to 30th March 2024 which was well
attended.| |**Financial Review**||| |**Review of the**
