Section C Objertives and activities Jmmary of the objerts of the charity set out in its governing document Our object is to advance the Chrlstlan Falth fr)r the public bÈnÈfft In accordance with our statement of beliefs (see section F of this report). The Trustees have been conscious of the need to carry out our purpose5 for the public benefit and have had regard to the guidance on public benefit 15sued by the Charity Commission. We believe that the Christian Faith provides guidelines for living that are good for the individual and for society in generdl. A Living Faith in Jesus Christ provides the strength and peace of mind to follow these guidelines and to live a useful life. I'HIS divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness... 2 Peter ch I v 3a). As Covid-19 restrictions have been relaxed our attivities have been able to return to a more norrnal pattern. Public confidence in rneeting in groups has increased, and people are coming to services in increasing numbers. Attendance at our Sunday service had almost reached pre-. Covld numbers by the end of 2022. Community8roups have returned too, And there has bean increased interest in using our property for tornmunity aetivities. IncreasinE fuel costs have prornpted us to apply for a council welfare grant to f und a 'Warm Space, which began in December and will run throuEhout the winter months until March 2023. A Krant from Ashford Together has allowed us to prepare and equip the buildlng for cooking classes to be run In conjunctlon with another church, beginning in 2023. 'Connect', a fortnightly group for those in the community aged l& with learning difficulties, began i n May 2022. Some of the chanse5 re5ultin8 from Covid may never be dropped - for example. hand 5anit15er5 and rna5k5 at both entrance5 and disinfecting materials and instructions in the toilets. There Is still a 'Covid Consciou5, room in which those who are shield ing can follow and join in worship vi a TV screen. Our Audlo Vlsual equlpment hès bècome even more sophlstlcated and dedicated team broadcast our Sunday service via YouTube www. o(rtube.com Ash rdcommuntt hurchUK rtreoms nd other meetings via Microsoft Team5, allowing mgre people to "attend" For example, through this use of technology. we have fellowship with one lady who, although living close to the church, has sèvere med ical problems and has never been ablÈ to get to the building. She considers herself a regular attender. Teams, allows members who re on holiday or working abroad to participate in the weekly prayer meeting. We pray for international needs, those of our nation and local communrty, as well as individual needs. Summary of the main actlvltles undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objetts (include within this section the Statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) We support Mlsslonary and RelSef Organisatlons ftnanclally and glve loans or one-off gifts to individuals in need.

Sertion D Achievementr 2nd perforiiia nce Surnmary of the main achievements of the charity during the year The rnain achievèment of our charity in 2022 was, with God's help, to have further expanded our activities to the cornmunity and to our members, as the threat of Covid-19 has receded. The church famlly has been kept together, encouraged, and 'fed' spirftually with the use of online technolog We have also used this technology to reach out into the communlty. Here are extracts from a review of the year given by Peter Hobbs. our Pastor, on Sunday 8 January 2023.. REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2022 We believe that the promises of God are true (this wa5 our Christmas me55agel. And so, we belleve the promise of God rnade in Jeremiah 29 and verse 11: 'For I know the plans I hovefor you,. declares the Lord, pluns to prosper you and ncit to horm you, plons to give you hope and afuture, We review the year to giv8 thanks to God for all that He has led us into. Some things have been very hard. Some things have been very encouraging. But, in all things we believe that God works for the Eood of all those who love Him and who have been called accordin8 to His purpose IRomans 8- 281. We believe it is good and right to lock back at what ha5 happened- in like manner the Hebrews were told to place 12 stones on the bank cf the Jordan as a lasting mernorial to God's goodness and blessing in bringing them into tho Promised Land lJoshua 4.. 1-81. When f uture generations saw these stones, they would 35k what they meant and would learn of the love of God for His people. I n thi5 same way, we review what has happened this past vear to remind ourselve5 Of the love that God has for u5. THE CHURCH FAMILY- MEETING AND CARING We be8in by thanking God that we have 3 church buildlng- that we wantto be used more and rnore and more for His glory. Yet. this yeèr has shown us, as never before, that WE are the church and we have continued to be togethér as church whether In the bullding or online, And we thank God that we are a rhurrh family who rare for each other and for those around us in the community- Oh, wo are not perfect, and we regret with great sorrow that there are some who have lacked care during thè year. HowÈvÉr, throLtgh our HousegrcLtps, through TAR
hospitality that so many of you havÈ shown, through a stru¢turÉ that has continuÉd to make sure that the most vulnerable are tontactèd and looked aftÈr, WÈ have Ènsured that our church really is part of the family of God - that we love one another as He has loved us. | This has been a year of change in the Eldership and management of the church. After a I period of Pfdyer ènd seeking God's will, Jim, Chris, and Peter were commissioned as the Elders of the church. Shortly after this, elections were held which returned Gill. Brian R. Linda, and Ernest as Deacons. Together, this group forms the Leadership Team of the church. Regular meetings (once a month formally for Elders, plus lunchtime meetings too, and monthly Deacon b reakfastsl have meant that work to ensure that the church is well- Managed and directed ha5 been very effective this year. We thank God forthe regular meetings that are held amongst us and rernernber them now. SUNDAY.. I have beeA part of this church family for 5 V3 years now. We thank God for our Sunday services~ our"showcase" of God's love and presence within the community. Numbers of attendees have been afferted by Coronavirus and since returning to services in the church building we have seen between 40 and 50 people each week rneeting in the Main Hal I, watching in the Rear Hall Ifor those who wish or need to remain socially distanced and 'masked"l. or joi•ing us on YouTube and TEAMS. This reduction in numbers from pre- pandemic leve15 is reflÈeted in most, if not all, of the Ashford churches. We thank God for the technology that has allowed us to maTrntain our worship so effectively on a Sunday. At the end of the year our numbers of those actually meeting in the church returned to pre-pandemic figures. WORSHIP- it has been wonderful to have our first full year of Celebration services in thé church since 2019. TEACHING SERIES-The focus of teaching this year has been on the state of the church within society and the challenge to "Risk, Resist, and Rebuild". This naturally developed, after June, into series on the need of the Holy Spirit to empower us and equip us, 'HÉroÉs of thè Faith" to inspiro us during these dark times, and "Life on the Frontllne" as a practical application of our vision for 2022. The year ended with a month-long series on "The Promises of God" Although Peter led most of this teaching, we have been blessed by many internal and outside guest speakers this year as well. Dudley spoke to us in February, April, and September, Jim spoke powerfully throu8h personal experience5 in Ma reh and again in October, Brian C spoke on the work of "Open Doors" in fviay and then on Nehemiah in November, Oba brought mes5aEe for the first time in that month - followed by his second in July- the month when Tristan challenged us for the first time, Chris ¢onti nued his 'Kinedom of God" series in September, and Ernest brought us an early Hard Question< message in October. We entertained external speakers on two occasions.. Mark 8ingham f rom MaidstonÈ, Èvangelist for Counties, spoke in January, and James Tredgett challenged us through his work for London City Mission in October. We thank God for the cèntral place that teaching plays in the life of the church. * SUNDAY CLUB AND CHILDREN'S WORK- aftero period of abeyance cluring the pandemic, it has been wonderful to see the Sunday Club revived this year. TAR
Led by Linda and Diana H, a rota of willing and able helpers havÈ begun again to teach and 8uide our small band of children - firstly In the mlddlè hall but latterly in a move back into the larger rear h?11, MONDAY: U3A- have been using the church for play reading. Dave Workman holds English classes for Nopalese people. TUESDAY: OPEN ARMS-this organisation has grown almost weekly in their outreach to the homeless and vulnerable this year- we are privileged to work alongside them in the Church. WARM SPACES- With the crisis in energy prices in the second half of this year, it was rnooted that we could set up our building as a "Warm Space-. Anna was asked to pro8ress with this ide? and quickly applied for a grant from Ashford Borough Councll- whlch was SLJccessful. She worked hard on a practical plan to make thi5 work and wa5 able to begin thi5 service to the community in December of 2022. The church is a "Warm Space" on è Tuesday afternoon between l and 5 pm and offers soup and rolls, games and fellowship, as well as warmth. Already a good number of people have made Use of thè facility and thanks go to Anna and the team of volunteers wh help. This work shall continue into 2023. CONNECT- began on the 3, May on Tuesday eveninES- set up, after a lot of preparation. by Helen B and Gill, with support from volunteers. to provide a social venuÈ for those in the community aged 16* who have learning difficulties. Although it has been slow in uptake, this is an outreach to the community that we believe is going to 80 from strength to rtren8th. WEDNESDAY: WEIGHT WATCHERS- continuo to use our building on a Wednesday morning. SUPACOOKS- In co-operation with Ashford Together and Pneuma Church, we have set up and trialled a basic cooking course for the needy in the community. This has necessitated an investment in a new elertrical rircuit in the middle hall, and the purchase of high tables suitable for food preparation and eSectri¢ hobs for cooking. In the New Year these courses shall "go live" with 4-week courses catering for between 4 and 6 candidates at a time. HOUSEGROUPS AND MONTHLY SUPERGROUP- a major restructuring of our housegroups took place this year. The outcome Is that we now have 2 groups. known as"Earlv Birds" and 'NiEht Owls.. that meet in person and online. The last Wednesday of each month has been set asidè for our "Super8roup' in thè church building where we have bèen studying th@ 10 Commandments using TAR
thé excellent J John videos. THURSDAY: BIBLE STUDY- A Committed group meet fortnightly face-to-face and have enjoyed a number of studies as well as social time together. EKC- What a blessing it is to continue having this wonderful choir prartising in our building on a Thursdèyl Small sections of the EKC have been using the building to rehearse on a Wednesday as well. WORSHIP PRACTICE- this remains open to all who would like to corne along and not only the Worship Team. FRIDAY.. REVIVAL PRAYER- I remain in awe of the tremendous turnout week after week to this prayer meeting- proof of our belief in the power of prayer to bring revival to this area. Now d riven by "Prayer Points" we meet both in pepson lin the church) and on TEAMS. U3A- singtheir hearts out on a Friday. LADIES. FELLOWSHIP- well...I ran't Say too much about thi5...a51 am not allowed to attend l But l understand that it continues to bé a time of great joy and challenge. PIZZA AND HOTTOPICS-The young adult5 in our church meet together at Church House on alternate Fridays. We completed the 'Disciple" course this ye3r and have moved on to lookinE at HotTopics. We continue to talk openly together while enjoying pizz3. STREEf PASTORS-Three of our number are fully committed to this good outreach of Care to the community during often very cold Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. HIGHLIGHTSOF 2022 SOUND AND V1510N- After sc many years and wonderful bequests, the new°all- singing, a114ancing" sound and vision System was finally finished thi5 year! So many thanks go to Chris and Ernest for their hard work on this- getting quotes, designing systems, setting up programmes. Wo now havo a system that is'fit for purpose" and "future proofed" for many years to rome. "Gremlins" Still need to be eliminated...but 11 the hard work means that our outreach through YouTube and TEAMS, and our In- reach wlthin the church buildinE- main, mld, and rear halls- are second-to-none in the whole of Ashford. OUTREACH: IVS always wonderful to be able to share the Good News, as a church, with those around us- sometimes this is overtly through preaching,. at other times it is through carin8 that we show the love ofjesus. This yèar we saw the delSvery of TAR
