Section C Objectives and activities
The purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith in **Summary of the objects of the** accordance with the Basis of Faith primarily but not exclusively within **charity set out in its** Binfield, Bracknell Forest, and the surrounding neighbourhood. **governing document** The main aims of the church are to introduce people to the love of God shown through Jesus Christ, to encourage those who already know God's love to keep trusting in that, and to demonstrate God's love in practical acts of kindness. The main public gatherings of the church are the Sunday service and prayer/bible-study meetings held on Wednesdays. These have been held online and in hybrid form depending on applicable restrictions during 2020 and 2021. Under normal circumstances, during the Sunday morning service, the church would be providing supervised activities for pre-school and primary-school-aged children. Older children were encouraged to remain in the main service: question sheets are provided to help them to concentrate and to learn from the teaching provided. This has not been possible for most of the year due to lockdown restrictions, but alternative provision was made for young people, see section D. The church also provides a weekly toddler group for pre-school children, weekly youth clubs and bible study groups for older children, and children’s clubs in the school summer holidays. However, due to the many restrictions caused by Covid-19, we were not able to run these **Summary of the main** activities, groups and clubs from the 1st April 2020 - 31st March 2021. **activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to** The church regularly offers courses such as Christianity Explored or **these objects (include within** Discipleship Explored that clearly explain the foundations of Christian **this section the statutory** belief and practice and are intended to benefit those not already part of **declaration that trustees have** the church. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity **Commission on public** Commission on public benefit, and consider that there are three main **benefit)** identifiable benefits to the public or sections of the public that flow from the church fulfilling its purposes: 1. Those who come to know and continue in the love of God report that accepting the love of God in Jesus Christ was the best decision they ever made and that knowing this love gives them strength in their everyday life. 2. Advancing the Christian Faith promotes a moral framework. This framework is outlined in the Bible, the Old Testament being interpreted by the New Testament. A summary of the framework is the command for people to love God with all their heart, soul mind and strength and to love one's neighbour as oneself. An exposition of the framework can be found in chapters 5-7 of the Gospel of Matthew. Church members are encouraged to live out their faith within the community and to put this moral framework into practice in their everyday lives with everyone they interact with, so that this benefits the members of the public who interact with members of the congregation each day. 3. It is for the public good that the main beliefs of the Christian Faith are made known in society, even if people disagree with the Christian message, because this enables people to make informed choices

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
## **Sunday services**
The main public gatherings of the church, for public teaching and worship, is the Sunday service. All of our teaching is also made freely available on the internet as live streams and on-demand. During this year, we have provided several substantial teaching series based on the Bible, including expository preaching from the books of John and Ephesians, and a series following a programme of “Reading the Bible Together” as a Church. Throughout this period Sunday morning streams were viewed by an average of 62 viewers per week and, when restrictions allowed, congregations were roughly 20 people. Given the size of the Church membership and some correspondence we have received we believe we have been reaching a wider audience than just the existing congregation throughout this year.
## **Sunday children’s activities**
Children’s groups had to cease in-line with government guidance during 2020, but online groups were established for the children to discuss Bible teaching in November 2020 and continued for the rest of the year.

## **Section E Financial review**
The charity trustees have established a policy stipulating a **target Brief statement of the minimum level** of reserves of **six months’ operating costs** . This is **charity’s policy on reserves** because the work of the church is highly dependent on a small number of generous members, whose circumstances could change, and because the notice period for Ministers and Assistant Ministers (whose livelihood depends on the church) is six months. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit**
