Sunday School Ministry
This year we were able to expand the ministry of our Sunday school effectively and it has had a positive effect on the lives of our children and church. We are very focused in bringing up another generation in the truth of God. Our dedicated Sunday School Ministry helps our children to learn the principles and lessons of Christs life. Our Sunday School runs from 11.00 am 11:50 am every Sunday. The students are divided into various classes according to their age and are taught by dedicated teachers who has volunteered to teach them from an accredited syllabus, this year we have initiated to prepare our own syllabus including many active activities to engages children thoroughly in the lessons. Along with lessons they are actively involved in learning new songs and skills to help their talents and use it for the kingdom of God. During this year a total of and teachers served 38 students in the Sunday School Ministry. The Sunday school ministry has helped our children to become role models in their schools and in the community.
Youth Ministry
Our youth ministry is an important part of our church. They get greatly involved and connect with the church and God. They are given opportunities to conduct praise and worship, discussions on contemporary issues faced by youths and biblical solutions to issues, counselling to avoid temptations of drugs and alcohol etc. With each session with youths, they are taught to become strong in the Lord and to be independent and truthful in their lives and how to integrate the Christian values into their life and impact others. During the youth meeting youngsters are given opportunities to recite Bible verses, say short stories' and deliver biblical short messages according to their age groups. There are opportunities to perform their talents and abilities given by God to showcase their skills especially with musical instruments and singing. There is regular bible quiz to broaden their knowledge. This year we have seen an immense growth in their spiritual life, many has surrendered their life to ministry and missions.
This year we have also introduced an adult Sunday school. We have noticed many of our adults lack the knowledge and basic principles of the Word of God. To support and grow them in Christ, the senior pastor of the church follows a curriculum to teach the adults twice a month through zoom platform.
Church has planned mission trips internationally and within the UK to preach the gospel and manifest the power of God. We have been actively involved in charity works such as building houses for people in India, supporting crippled families.
We have donated and helped many such families across, spreading the unconditional love of Christ through our services.
Our Mentorship programme has been very effective in the church for youth and young families. The main aim of the mentorship is to facilitate their personal needs and strengthen their relationship with Holy Spirit and the word of God. Every youth is assigned a mentor and they are reviewed by Senior Pastor. In the year 2022, mentorship programme was expanded, and it added many more pupils to it, making a drastic change in many people’s life. We have received amazing testimonies explaining the positive impact the mentorship has, our aim is to continue the programme as expand it even more in 2023.
