Governing Document

Vision
Northern Prophetic School of Supernatural Ministry was founded to contribute to the vision of the region of Teesside being transformed by the life, love and power of Jesus Christ. It does this by training adult students to live in a greater awareness of the Kingdom of God and to see its borders extended through a normal, Biblical, supernatural lifestyle.
Meeting for thirty-three Thursday evenings a year, the School emphasises hands-on training and experience along with academic understanding. This creates a ‘learn and apply’ culture in which students are encouraged to take risks, become used to having their faith stretched and grow in their understanding of God’s ways. To this end, as the students grow in confidence they are given opportunities to move out of the ‘safety’ of the classroom and to take part in weekend outreaches on the streets of Stockton-on-Tees and elsewhere. In these sessions students primarily seek out unchurched people and bring the Biblical gifts of the Holy Spirit to bear on their understanding of God’s love and their own destiny.
Management
The Board of Governors, chaired by Andrew Waugh, meet quarterly or more often as required, to review the progress of the School and agree on future actions to ensure its continued success and ethical conduct. A 2nd-year student, selected by the student body, is invited to attend Board meetings as a non-voting student representative. Week-on-week leadership and management continues in the hands of Julia Powell, who has been employed as the Director of the School since May 2018. Operation of the School is facilitated by a number of volunteers who lead small groups, lead worship and take on other practical tasks. The School principally uses teaching materials developed by Bethel Church of Redding, California, USA and also invites input from visiting speakers.
There is an ongoing declaration of interest, namely that one of the Trustees is the husband of the School's paid Director.
External Relationships
The School relates to a wide range of Christian churches in the NorthEast of England, whose leaders endorse students’ applications for the course.

Change of Charity Name
The School was founded with the name Teesside School of Supernatural Ministry. The Charity Commission approved the present name in October 2020. The School’s name was updated by Santander Bank and HMRC by the start of this report period.
Achievements and Challenges
Government restrictions on meetings and travel were lifted during the previous report period. Accordingly the School enjoyed a welcome return to all-face-to-face operation for the whole academic year.
We had UK-based guest speakers throughout the school year, each bringing teaching complementary to the Bethel Curriculum.
The School had 7 First Year Students, all of whom graduated. Of the 4 Second Year students, 3 graduated. This was a year characterised by the personal growth of all the students. We saw shy people come ‘out of their shells’ and un-confident people begin to reflect a confidence in their Godgiven identities. In turn this had an effect in the atmosphere of teamwork and the ‘culture of honour’ which we always seek to grow in the School.
Late in this report period, one of our graduating 2[nd] -year Students began to lead a prayer and intercession team. Second Year Students are expected to encourage the First Years and lift the atmosphere. While the Second Years did those things, their small number made for an ‘uphill’ feel to the year for the whole School. This was the Covid pandemic continuing to cast its shadow as the previous year’s poor recruitment washed through. The report period ended with encouraging numbers signing up for 2022-23.

A highlight of the year was the Graduation evening June. In addition to the joy of seeing all Students graduate in front of many un-churched friends and relatives, a meal was served by one of the Students with excellence in the cooking and the presentation.
The leadership team and Students participated in public outreaches in Stockton and Scarborough.
Open worship nights were held on the last Thursday of each month in which Students were able to use their spiritual gifts to facilitate many significant encounters between God and our guests. This was the first year in which we had to find more chairs ‘on the night’ as public attendance grew.
‘NPSSM on Tour’ was a nickname for two events in which the School ‘took over’ public meetings held by churches in Stockton, Middlesbrough, and Lingdale. Again, faith was deepened in those who received ministry as well in the Students themselves.
Financing
As a Charity the School is able to accept donations which may be Gift-Aided. Student fees are payable in full at the beginning of the academic year or by the end of the first term. A discount structure is offered for early booking and for household members taking the course together.
John Kumpalume ACCA continued as the School’s accountant.
