Public Benefit Statement

Charity Objectives and Activities

Our objective is to help people discover their God given purpose and to develop their potentials for impactful living. Our activities include teaching, preaching and propagating Christianity as laid down in the Holy Bible. We share the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in our community. We also serve by meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our church members and members of our community.

Achievements and Performance

The objects of RCCG Newlife Centre are primarily to encourage and be involved in the advancement of the Christian religion, the relief of poverty and the advancement of education and any other purposes which are charitable according to the law of England and Wales. The Charity seeks to further these objects through:

WORSHIP - "To participate in public worship services together and to maintain personal daily devotions." (John 4:24) – Through the last year, there was worship every Sunday (11am – 1pm) and also last Friday of the month (8pm – 10pm)
EVANGELISM - "To share the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in our community and throughout the world." (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 3:9). - The church constantly does this. The church also extends gifts to the neighbours during Xmas and Easter and helps the homeless and less privileged in the community
MINISTRY/MISSIONS - "To serve unselfishly in Jesus' name, meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those in our church, community, and in the world." (1 Peter 4:10,11; Matthew 25:34-40; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Galatians 5:13). The church has been able to do this based on preaching of the bible and providing psychological and financial support to the less privilege members
DISCIPLESHIP - "To help members develop toward full Christian maturity and train them for effective ministry. The charity also promotes personal, spiritual growth and discipleship through Bible teaching." (Ephesians 4:11-13; Matthew 18:20; 2 Timothy 2:1,2). This has been achieved through bible study classes on Wednesdays, Sunday school classes on Sunday mornings and discipleship / membership classes.
FELLOWSHIP - "To encourage, support and pray for each other as members of the family of God. We share our lives together." (1 John 1:7, Acts 2:44-47; Hebrews 10:23-25; Romans 15:5-7; John 13:34, 35). This has been achieved through setting up regional home cell groups that prays and fellowship together.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees/members of Rccg Newlife Centre, Birmingham (Reg. Number: 1172535)

I report on the account for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Respective responsibilities of Examiner and Trustees

The Charity’s trustees considered than an audit is not required for this year based on Section 43 (2) of the Charities Act (1993) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under Section 43 (3) (a) of the 1993 Act);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 43 (7) (b) of the 1993 Act); and
To state whether matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's report

My examination was carried out In accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
