Aim and Purposes Eternal Life Church Ministries board of trustees have responsibility for operating and promoting, the whole mission of the ministry. - Hollymoor Community Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical work - Eternal Media – media and broadcast activities - Life Line Projects – our charitable activities The trustees are also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Church building of Hollymoor Chapel, Manor Park Grove, Northfield. Objectives and Activities The Board of Trustees is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our church community. The Board of Trustees maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music, and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the Board of Trustees have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith through the following activities. - Worship and prayer. 1 - Learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. - Provision of pastoral care for people living in the Community. - Missionary and Outreach Work. To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Hollymoor Chapel. ## Achievements and Performance Worship and Prayer The Board of Trustees are keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example, Bible Study Groups provide an opportunity to learn about and explore the Holy Bible; Fortnightly Friday night services offer a lively worship experience; Sunday Morning Worship offers contemporary worship, a sermon, and Holy Communion. This year we have been successful in welcoming more families into our church and “Live Streaming” our services on a variety of social media platforms. “Live Streaming” our service became a vitally important way of engaging with our congregation during the pandemic. Interestingly, these broadcasts can attract many more people to watch than attend church. The Board of Trustees are continuing to explore ways of better integrating our own live audience with those attending the building to maintain a single community. Recently, a lady contacted the church to thank us for broadcasting on social media. She explained that she lived in Leeds and was suffering with cancer. The broadcasts had brought her great comfort at a very difficult time in her life because of which she decided to travel from 2 Leeds to Birmingham to visit the Church. The prayer that she received during her visit enabled her to find the courage to successfully complete her treatment and is now fully recovered. As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. ## Other Activities We want our building to be open to our community for a wide range activity. To facilitate this, we installed a door between the sanctuary and small café area. As a result, we have been able to use the café for coffee mornings, a mental health support group and green gym . These activities have succeeded in bringing new people from the local community into the Church in an informal and inclusive way. The Chapel roof continues to suffer from occasional minor leaks due to slipped tiles. Thankfully, the tiles that needed repairing were in easily accessible locations and the costs currently remain manageable. However, the Board of Trustees continue to keep this matter under review and to consider how more extensive work can undertaken and funded if required in the future. The Chapel car park which had in previous years suffered from; regular fly tipping, and being used for consuming drugs, alcohol, and fast food. The paraphernalia and rubbish left behind was considerable and potentially dangerous to passers-by and our volunteers who had to regularly clean up and make the area safe. Since the Board of Trustees 3 appointed a car park management company Creative Car Parks to manage the car park in January 2020. Since the barriers and ANRP camera was installed there has been a marked improvement in the situation. The car park continues to remain safe, clean, and tidy. Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. As a result, our Pastors have visited all church members who have requested it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital. ## Life-Line Projects Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. We continued to support a small charity called Manacare who rescue girls and women from abuse and potential sex trafficking and support them in setting up businesses so that they can feed their families. Our food bank Life-Line food bank continues to provide emergency food aid for local families throughout the year and especially at times of lockdown. Our efforts in this area were acknowledged by Councillor Mohammed Azim, Lord Mayor of Birmingham. In his thank you letter to our Senior Pastor the Lord Mayor of Birmingham wrote; “This is an essential and lifesaving work supporting those who are struggling, self-isolating, elderly or vulnerable and must mean a lot to those that you have helped. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all your hard work, you truly are a hero during these challenging time”. 4 Accounts Our income increased from £24,105 in the previous year to £24,759. Our founding Pastor who is very much the driving force and inspiration behind the ministry working receives a small salary in line with our previous practice and agreement with the Charity Commission. A statement of financial activities (including summary of income and expenditure account) is provided on page 6 & 7. The charity details and the accounting period for this report are as follows. ## Volunteers We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard for the benefit our local community and for making our church such a lively and vibrant organisation. We want to mention our Trustees Mrs Chris Turner, Mr Johnson Akinfenwa and who worked so hard during in the reporting period of this set of accounts. Miss Monicah Manana has now joined the Board of Trustees. Dr Andrew Hardie is our community advisor. Andrew has been a great help in developing our understanding about how to better engage with the local community. 5 |**Section B Balance sheet**
