It is part of the Universal, historic and mystical Body of Christ known as the Church. The correspondence address is 6 Westbrook Square, Barnet EN4 9AX. Come and See Ministries is a charity registered with the Charity Commission, UK. ## **Trustees who served during the year:** _Incumbent:_ Izuwa John Anyanwu – Chairman Pastor Roseline Anyanwu Mrs Benerdette Adebayo Mr Izuwa John Anyanwu Mrs Alaneme Elizabeth Ogugua Mrs Elizabeth Joseph Mr Patrick Obiegbunam ## **Structure, governance and management** The method of admission of Church members is set out in the Ministries Constitution. ## **Objectives and Activities** Come and See Ministries members have the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Pastor Roseline, in promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. ## **Achievements and Performance** There are 91 members on the church roll, 41 of whom are not resident within the borough. The church services take place every Sunday. We are hopeful that membership will increase in the future. ## **Review of the year** The Ministry was on mission to Nigeria in December 2023 and mission was a success. The trustees met and gave approval to organise the mission. Church services were held on Sundays in a rented hall at 97 East Barnet Road, but bible studies on Wednesdays, and night vigils every last Friday of the month were held via zoom. The School of Ministry took place every Thursday of the week via zoom where those aspiring to be ordained ministers are taught the word of God. Page 2 **COME AND SEE MINISTRIES Charity Number 1169051 Trustees’ Annual Report** ## **For the Year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)** ## **Financial Review** Come and See Ministries' balance includes £142,292 retained in restricted funds account as part of the building funds for the church as agreed by the trustees. The bank balance at 31st December 2023 was £334,518 (2022: £276,253). Funds are closely monitored by the trustees. ## **Reserves Policy** It is our policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds, which equates to approximately six months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £208,001 held as unrestricted funds at the year end should be sufficient to cope with immediate demand. ## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the guidelines of the Charity Commissions of United Kingdom. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
