The Church Elders, who, apart from the Church Pastor, are also the charity trustees, are responsible for the overall management and control of the The Cellar Church Charity and meet at least four times a year. The work of implementing most of their objectives is carried out by the Cellar Church Covenant Partners, who meet at least two times a year and less formally on a weekly basis. The Covenant Partners work under the oversight of the Church Elders. The Church Elders and Church Pastor determine the general spiritual teaching, pastoral care requirements and Vision for the Church. The day to day running of the Church is delegated to the Church Pastor and Church Elders, supported by Covenant Partners and their team members. Covenant Partners means the body of believers in the locality of Ellesmere, Shropshire who have signed a current form of commitment being known as The Cellar Church. The Church Pastor and Church Elders undertakes the key leadership role overseeing biblical teaching, pastoral and administrative functions. The day to day running of The Cellar Church, including Junior Church, is undertaken within the Church Constitution approved by the Church Elders which provide for only significant expenditure decisions and major capital projects to be referred to the Covenant Partners for prior approval. All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. ## **Section C Objectives and activities** The Object of the CIO is, for the public benefit, the advancement of the Christian faith in such ways as the Charity Trustees may from time to time decide. At The Cellar Church, our aim is to live out the Gospel message as the Bible directs us – that is to lead people to salvation through a personal **Summary of the objects of the** relationship with Jesus Christ and at the same time serve our **charity set out in its governing** community and those in need around us. **document** The Cellar Church advances Christianity in accordance with Biblical teachings which include clear and ethical guidelines recognised over a very long period of time and including (by way of example) the requirements of the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus on a range of issues and often summarised in His commands to “love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself”.

**Commission on public benefit)**|The Church's activities include weekly main worship services, men's
and women's ministries, prayer ministries, life groups (worship prayer
and study groups). In the past, the charity has held social evenings to
the local community in way of quiz nights or community meals, which
includes gospel messages and also youth nights where local young
people can socialise and engage in different activities and seek
guidance in the Christian faith.
The Cellar Church offer a range of services during the week and over
the course of the year that our community fnd both benefcial and
spiritually fulflling. For example, our prayer meetings provide an
intimate and refective environment for worship whilst opportunities are
provided for people to engage in more outgoing worship such as that
provided by the regular morning and occasional evening service.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are
around 80 regular attenders, with approximately 50 of whom are
Covenant Partners. As well as our regular services, we enable our
community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey
through life. Through baptism we publicly thank God for the gift of
salvation, in dedication services we thank God for the gift of life and
through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give
thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend
the person into God's keeping.
These activities are benefcial because they provide spiritual and
religious worship for the local communities in Ellesmere, Shropshire as
well as supporting community outreach projects.
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity
