The church building is on Halkyn Street, Holywell, in the county of Flintshire, North Wales. CH8 7TX. The church’s governing document and constitution were submitted to the Charity Commission when the church registered as a charity. During the year reported there were no serious incidents. Services on the Lord’s Day and the mid week Bible study and prayer meeting are recorded, audio and video. These are published soon after the service/meeting on Sermon Audio on the internet. All recordings are available to anyone, any member of the public, who wishes to hear/view/download them. Sermon Audio keeps all sermons historically for download by any person. The objects of the charity: The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to Baptist principles and in accordance with the Basis of Faith as stated in Schedule 1. The charity may also carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. During the year reported the church has been faithful to her mandate in various ways: 1. The provision of two public worship services (including prayer, the reading of God’s Word, the preaching of a sermon, and sung praise) every Sunday. 2. The administration of the Lord’s Supper twice per month. 3. The holding of a prayer meeting and Bible study every Thursday evening. 4. Monthly Christian tract distribution and preaching on Saturday morning in Holywell high street from approximately March to October. (weather permitting) 5. The holding of a fellowship meal held on a Sunday lunchtime to which all are welcome. This occurs typically every five or six weeks. It is normal that open air preaching takes place the day before the fellowship meal where an open invitation to attend the free Sunday Lunch is given to all who pass by in the high street of Holywell town. 6. Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas. 7. A few of our brethren (Church members) preach in the open air in local towns on Saturday mornings. Towns preached in include Holywell, Mold, Chester, Wrexham and Llandudno. The church makes no charge for any event, food, or provision. Anyone is welcome to attend the Church and various meetings. The costs of provisions are borne by voluntary giving from church members and those who wish to contribute from the congregation. We, as a church give thanks to God for the people who attend our meetings who would not normally attend a church service. We continue to seek a Pastor, prayerfully awaiting God’s provision. As a church, for Sunday and Thursday services, we continue to have preachers from various churches throughout the UK meet our spiritual needs.
