stated in the Church Governing Document
are: -
1) The advancement of the Christian
faith according to the principles of the
Baptist denomination.
2) The Church may also advance
education and carry out other
charitable purposes in the United
Kingdom and/or other parts of the
world.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular,the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Trustees want to see the Christian
message of God’s love for all people spread
in Rhyl and the surrounding area, and
internationally through our support of
missionary workers overseas.
The Church holds services each Sunday
morning where the Bible is taught, people
worship God through music, and we pray
for personal, local and international needs.
The Trustees meet monthly to discuss
practical matters regarding the
maintenance of our premises, and the
Elders of the Church now meet monthly
(after a break during the Coronavirus
pandemic),focussing on pastoral issues.
The Church leaders are particularly
interested in reaching out to young people,
which they see as essential for the future
of the Church. Some members volunteer in
taking Open The Book presentations of
Bible stories into some of the local primary
schools though this is on hold currently due
to the Coronavirus pandemic. The Trussell
Trust Foodbank based in our church gives| October 2016 Charity Accounts templates–Trustees’ annual report for the ||

achievementsof the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of itsbeneficiaries
and any wider benefitsto society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|The congregation has met on each Sunday
morning during the year and a series of
biblical themes have been covered in the
preaching. The Minister is the main
speaker, but the Assistant Minister and
several other members of the congregation
are also involved in speaking roles. We
welcome people from a wide variety of
backgrounds and ethnic origins. In addition
to the morning services, a number of
regular Church based activities occur.
 There are frequent opportunities for
the Minister Trevor Casey to offer
counsel and advice to Church
members, and he and other
members of the congregation
contact people who find it more
difficult to get out.
 Prayer First – on the evening of
each first Sunday in the month,
members of the Church meet to
pray for local, national and
international needs
 Second Sunday – on the second
Sunday of the month, members are
invited to think about and discuss
various matters of the Christian
faith, but this is currently on hold
due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
 The church has several house
groups where there is Bible study
and prayer, and where pastoral help
is available.
 On Monday mornings a group of
church members meets to pray for
individuals, our church and its’
activities, and sometimes situations
further afield
 KidZone – each Sunday morning the
younger children have a slot in the
online service where they receive
their own Bible teaching| October 2016 Charity Accounts templates–Trustees’ annual report for the 3 of8  Toasters – the teenagers leave the service after about 30 minutes for their own session with toast, but this has been on hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic though recently a Sunday session has been launched for them online.  On Friday evenings we run Generate Youth, a Christian youth club, but this is not running at the moment due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This is run by our AssistantMinister, Glyn Watson, and a team of volunteers  Leavers’ Days at the end of the Summer term where year 6 children are given the opportunity to visit our church and become involved in music, creative prayer, drama and problem solving, but this couldn’t occur this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  Trussell Trust Foodbank where food is given to those in need, upon presentation of a voucher given by another agency; this is available three days a week  Christian Money advice – people from the Rhyl area who are encountering financial difficulties are referred to CMA for help to overcome these difficulties. We have a team of trained people who are able to analyse the financial problems and act as a go-between with the financial agencies, banks etc. This has resulted in many people finding a way out of their financial difficulties.  Our Church premises have also been used for counselling services provided by a fully qualified personal counsellor, but not since the Coronavirus pandemic.  Other agencies, such as Rhyl Council, have used the premises from time to time in previous years October 2016 Charity Accounts templates–Trustees’ annual report for the 4 of8 for their own activities. Apart from activities in the Church building, we also run activities for Young People outside the Church.  Open The Book assemblies where Bible stories are presented in a dramatised way to 4 local schools up to 5 times a year. Sadly, this has not happened this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  During the summer holidays many members of the Church volunteer to help with camps for children and families in Wales. This has meant helping with erection and dismantling of the camps, as well as cooking and serving meals and other activities. Sadly, this has not happened this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Internationally we give regular financial support to overseas Christian workers who were formerly Church members based in Rhyl. One of these is a facio-maxillary surgeon on the Mercy Ships, doing free-ofcharge restorative facial work for Africans in various African countries. Another two members now work in a prison ministry helping prisoners find God and preparing them for return to the outside world. They have been involved in prisons in Romania, Nepal, the United States and Brazil, setting up and training new teams to continue the work. We also have on-going interest and prayer for other previous members of the Church who are now serving God as Christian workers overseas. Each Christmas the Church seeks to raise funds for a Christmas project. These projects alternate between overseas and UK based projects. At Christmas 2020 we raised over £1,200for Urban Saints to help provide storage facilities for the young people’s camps. The Church works together with other October 2016 Charity Accounts templates–Trustees’ annual report for the 5 of8 Churches in the area as opportunities arise for combined outreach efforts. ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP
