Our Aims and Objectives
Purposes and Aims
Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are:
"The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and the discipline of the Methodist church through promoting the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit in local Christian churches throughout the UK by the provision of teaching, ministry and training.”
Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims
The majority of our work is done with local churches through weekend renewal events. Since ARM-UK began the weekend programme used has been “The Life in the Spirit Experience” and at each event we receive feedback from the local church, which helps us to evaluate the effectiveness of our ministry.
Who Beneftted From Our Work?
Our work over the period 2022-23 has, much the same as last year, been in recovery mode following the Covid-19 pandemic. It seems that many churches still have some degree of nervousness about hosting events such as our ‘Life in the Spirit Experience’. It also seems that many churches have had a reduction in their volunteer capacity and so are not taking on anything extra.
Financial Review
Our main sources of income in this period has come from donations from individuals.

Reserves Policy
It is the view of the trustees that Aldersgate Renewal Ministries-UK does not need to operate with financial reserves at this time for our on-going work. Our principle costs arise from running weekend events and the income from these events more than covers the costs.
However, our reserves policy is to build up our reserves so that we can employ someone to develop to the scope and the work of ARM-UK.
