Introduction

This document has been prepared for the Charity Commission as well as the Trustees and members of Christian Life Fellowship (CLF) – Medway (CLF – Medway) as an end of year report detailing its activities and operations throughout the year of 2022 as outlined in the following information:

Main active components in 2022

Following on from 2022, we as a trusteeship would like to acknowledge the difficult and challenging year that 2022 was following the passing of Minister and former Chair of Trustees Olu Oyerinde in July.

We extend our humble condolences to his wife and children Tola, Aaron and Hannah for this great loss. He will be truly missed. Also, we remember our member Samantha Georgiou whom we lost in June. Our love prayers and

3

condolences are extended to her husband Peter Georgiou for this great loss.

Not forgetting those who have lost loved ones over this year and we continue to extend our love and support as a trusteeship to each one effected wherever we can and however we can.

Throughout 2022- Our services were hybrid, meaning they were both face to face and online, using Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook as our online platforms.

During 2022 we continued to deliberately make strides in establishing, pursuing and actioning our mission (F.I.N.D - Family, Invitation, Networking and Discipleship - “a family multicultural church to the hundreds”) as well as fulfil both our corporate and local vision (i.e. corporate vision: “Kingdom Impact” and local vision: and “Being ready for Christ’s return”) through our main active components and activities as outlined later in the highlights of the year.

These main active components of CLF - Medway in 2022 were: Outreach, discipleship, fellowship, prayer and special services as outlined below:

Decentralisation Activities

Since 1[st] January 2017 CLF - Medway have been officially decentralised from CLF Global (CLF) – which also includes City Faith Ministries Trust (CFMT) and for the purposes of this report any

4

reference to CLF will also include CFMT as they are the same entity), meaning that we are no longer financially and administratively dependant on CFMT’s central funds or head office.

CLF - Medway, in addition to all existing CLF churches and ministries became responsible for their own administrative legal, financial and affairs, whilst remaining within the CLF family of churches and ministries. CFMT continue to act as CLF – Medway’s umbrella charity.

CLF - Medway met the following criteria in order to be recognised as a church decentralised from CFMT and continue to operate under the following:

5

Outreach

2022 we continued with our Throughout emphasis both collectively and individually within the corporate vision for the year “Advancing the kingdom of God”. This emphasised being Kingdom minded in all aspects of our daily lives. Focusing our mindset and purpose in reaching out to our community and to those in our life circles through sharing the gospel of Jesus.

During the summer of 2022, we reached out to the community partnering with the Street Angels and assisting and giving out food offering support and sharing the gospel through street evangelism.

6

Discipleship

In conjunction with our outreach emphasis and in obedience to the need to make disciples in accordance with New Testament doctrine, the following initiatives/ministries continued to help facilitate discipleship:

7

discussion and input.

The following ministries, birthed by individual members within the church, continued to operate in 2022:

Fellowship

To continue our emphasis to help develop relationships and to help cultivate a family spirit, we continued to hold regular fellowships throughout the year both in church members homes and at our church address.

During 2022 we held the below fellowship events:

 Fellowship lunch

8

Prayer

We continued to have our monthly half night prayer events across the United Kingdom (UK) online from 10:30pm – 02:00am. We also joined various special prayer events, with some of our leaders facilitating and hosting the events with other leaders from across the UK CLF family network.

Our local daily 5am morning prayer meetings for half an hour continued throughout the year.

Special Services

We held a few special services during 2022, namely:

9

 We also had our first ever Healing service that took place in the month of November which was a huge success.

10

Highlights of 2022

The highlights of 2022 are those achievements and activities that we felt underpinned the mission and vision of CLF Medway during that year. These included:

11

Major Challenges in 2022

The loss of Olu Oyerinde and Samantha Georgiou, Numerical growth, and securing our own building were our main challenges in 2022 as outlined below.

Loss of our Members

We were deeply saddened by the loss of Olu Oyerinde who was not only a husband and father but a Youth Pastor, a Minister, Trustee, and a friend. As previously mentioned, he will be truly missed, and we pray for continued strength and comfort for his wife and children Tola, Aaron and Hannah during this time.

In addition, we lost our dear member and sister Samantha Georgiou who was a wife and friend. As previously mentioned, we pray for continued strength and comfort for her husband Peter Georgiou.

Numerical Growth

Attendance at our Sunday services during 2022 was on average approximately 30-35 people made up of approximately 18-20 adults and 2022 children. As our services were hybrid (both face to face and online) attendance fluctuated weekly. We have continued to address this through outreach, personal invitations, and prayer.

12

Building challenge

During early 2017, we were informed by Medway council that our current venue, Hook Meadow Community Centre, was due to be knocked down and replaced by residential flats, subject to local consultation and building regulatory procedures.

No further updates were received from Medway council between 2018 and 2022 and we have continued to assess our finances and give consideration to financing a building of our own. We have investigated and approached lenders for some preliminary quotes to find out what options we have with regards to a mortgage on a property.

As a leadership team, where possible, we continued to actively look at potential buildings as well as encouraged our members to look also. This is to specifically serve our ministry needs in the area of Medway and consideration has been given to potential investment properties also.

Partnership Organisations and Ministries

In addition to CLF –Medway’s initiatives and activities, we continued to support and partner with the following organisations in conjunction with our mission:

 St Philips & St James Church

13

City Faith Ministries Trust corporate goals and activities for 2022

CFMT’s aim was to continue in its commitment to church development, church planting, ministries, missions and leadership development and its main emphasis for 2022 was “Advancing the Kingdom of God ”.

Introduction

This document has been prepared for the Charity Commission as well as the Trustees and members of Christian Life Fellowship (CLF) – Medway (CLF – Medway) as an end of year report detailing its activities and operations throughout the year of 2022 as outlined in the following information:

Main active components in 2022

Following on from 2022, we as a trusteeship would like to acknowledge the difficult and challenging year that 2022 was following the passing of Minister and former Chair of Trustees Olu Oyerinde in July.

We extend our humble condolences to his wife and children Tola, Aaron and Hannah for this great loss. He will be truly missed. Also, we remember our member Samantha Georgiou whom we lost in June. Our love prayers and

3

condolences are extended to her husband Peter Georgiou for this great loss.

Not forgetting those who have lost loved ones over this year and we continue to extend our love and support as a trusteeship to each one effected wherever we can and however we can.

Throughout 2022- Our services were hybrid, meaning they were both face to face and online, using Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook as our online platforms.

During 2022 we continued to deliberately make strides in establishing, pursuing and actioning our mission (F.I.N.D - Family, Invitation, Networking and Discipleship - “a family multicultural church to the hundreds”) as well as fulfil both our corporate and local vision (i.e. corporate vision: “Kingdom Impact” and local vision: and “Being ready for Christ’s return”) through our main active components and activities as outlined later in the highlights of the year.

These main active components of CLF - Medway in 2022 were: Outreach, discipleship, fellowship, prayer and special services as outlined below:

Decentralisation Activities

Since 1[st] January 2017 CLF - Medway have been officially decentralised from CLF Global (CLF) – which also includes City Faith Ministries Trust (CFMT) and for the purposes of this report any

4

reference to CLF will also include CFMT as they are the same entity), meaning that we are no longer financially and administratively dependant on CFMT’s central funds or head office.

CLF - Medway, in addition to all existing CLF churches and ministries became responsible for their own administrative legal, financial and affairs, whilst remaining within the CLF family of churches and ministries. CFMT continue to act as CLF – Medway’s umbrella charity.

CLF - Medway met the following criteria in order to be recognised as a church decentralised from CFMT and continue to operate under the following:

5

Outreach

2022 we continued with our Throughout emphasis both collectively and individually within the corporate vision for the year “Advancing the kingdom of God”. This emphasised being Kingdom minded in all aspects of our daily lives. Focusing our mindset and purpose in reaching out to our community and to those in our life circles through sharing the gospel of Jesus.

During the summer of 2022, we reached out to the community partnering with the Street Angels and assisting and giving out food offering support and sharing the gospel through street evangelism.

6

Discipleship

In conjunction with our outreach emphasis and in obedience to the need to make disciples in accordance with New Testament doctrine, the following initiatives/ministries continued to help facilitate discipleship:

discussion and input.

The following ministries, birthed by individual members within the church, continued to operate in 2022:

Fellowship

To continue our emphasis to help develop relationships and to help cultivate a family spirit, we continued to hold regular fellowships throughout the year both in church members homes and at our church address.

During 2022 we held the below fellowship events:

 Fellowship lunch

8

Prayer

We continued to have our monthly half night prayer events across the United Kingdom (UK) online from 10:30pm – 02:00am. We also joined various special prayer events, with some of our leaders facilitating and hosting the events with other leaders from across the UK CLF family network.

Our local daily 5am morning prayer meetings for half an hour continued throughout the year.

Special Services

We held a few special services during 2022, namely:

 We also had our first ever Healing service that took place in the month of November which was a huge success.

10

Highlights of 2022

The highlights of 2022 are those achievements and activities that we felt underpinned the mission and vision of CLF Medway during that year. These included:

11

Major Challenges in 2022

The loss of Olu Oyerinde and Samantha Georgiou, Numerical growth, and securing our own building were our main challenges in 2022 as outlined below.

Loss of our Members

We were deeply saddened by the loss of Olu Oyerinde who was not only a husband and father but a Youth Pastor, a Minister, Trustee, and a friend. As previously mentioned, he will be truly missed, and we pray for continued strength and comfort for his wife and children Tola, Aaron and Hannah during this time.

In addition, we lost our dear member and sister Samantha Georgiou who was a wife and friend. As previously mentioned, we pray for continued strength and comfort for her husband Peter Georgiou.

Numerical Growth

Attendance at our Sunday services during 2022 was on average approximately 30-35 people made up of approximately 18-20 adults and 2022 children. As our services were hybrid (both face to face and online) attendance fluctuated weekly. We have continued to address this through outreach, personal invitations, and prayer.

12

Building challenge

During early 2017, we were informed by Medway council that our current venue, Hook Meadow Community Centre, was due to be knocked down and replaced by residential flats, subject to local consultation and building regulatory procedures.

No further updates were received from Medway council between 2018 and 2022 and we have continued to assess our finances and give consideration to financing a building of our own. We have investigated and approached lenders for some preliminary quotes to find out what options we have with regards to a mortgage on a property.

As a leadership team, where possible, we continued to actively look at potential buildings as well as encouraged our members to look also. This is to specifically serve our ministry needs in the area of Medway and consideration has been given to potential investment properties also.

Partnership Organisations and Ministries

In addition to CLF –Medway’s initiatives and activities, we continued to support and partner with the following organisations in conjunction with our mission:

 St Philips & St James Church

City Faith Ministries Trust corporate goals and activities for 2022

CFMT’s aim was to continue in its commitment to church development, church planting, ministries, missions and leadership development and its main emphasis for 2022 was “Advancing the Kingdom of God ”.
