'ficant Activities The ehureh continues to thrive. both numerically and spiritually, under the leadership of a team 0£ Elders, headed up by our Pastor. following the long tradttion of this local church. They are supported by a team of Deacons and Trustees and the congregation is encouraged to share in the work and activities of this local churc We have regular activities and events each week serving both the members of the con8Te8ation and the local community. We continue to live-stream the Sunday morning worship service via Zoom, enabling us to reach beyond the four walls of our building. This also means that memEErs of the congregation can continue to enjoy the service when they are away from home or when they are unwell and unable to attend in person. Our café-style interactive Sunday evening Services continue with a small core of attendees actively enga8ing with the Bible studies and "Grill-a-Pastor" sessions. Engaging the community with the sood news of the Christian Gospel continue5 to be a priority and throughout this period we have continued to distribute thousands of copies of the Good News newspaper along with Bible5. Gospel tracts, leaflets and literature. This is especially so with special events organised for Easter and Christmas with the specific purpose of engaging the local community with the messase of the Gospel. During the period. our Pastor conducted two funerals for members of the congregatlon or thetr family members. Also, during this year, we had the joy of one baby being born to a family in the congregation. The church congregation srowth has levelled a little, and at the end of the period. we had 50 adults and 15 children and youth in regular attendance on a Sunday. As a result of our Youth Worker our after school and Youth Clubs continue to thrive with around 10 children or youth attending each session. Whilst we have lost some members who have moved on to different locations and churches, we have a growing numkr of families arriving from West Africa under the care workers visa scheme and a Pakistani family also join us. Up until September we had a Pastor and 3 Elders alongside the Deacons and the Trustees. However due to personal circumstances and also the Church not beins in a position to in¢rease his wages. our Pastor had to find a new job and he left us in De￿mber 2024. The Church continues with the 3 Elders in a voluntsry role alongside the existing Deacons and Trustees. Nevertheless we will continue to actively work to adding new Members to each of these roles from within our l(Kal con8Tesation, to help with the good running and functionins of the church. Financial Review As mentioned in previous annual reports. in recent years, the church has been surviving off three large one-off legacy donations and therefore expenses have been exceeding income each month. This is especially so. given the demographic of Camix)me with incomes well below average earnings for the UK. However, we have continued to search for grant funding. Thanks to the work of our Chair of Trustees. during this current period, we have been able to source funding from Joseph Rank Trust agreed to a grant of £IO.(KK) per year over three years for children and youth work and the first of this grant was paid during this 2024/25 financial year. This grant will enable us to reach children and youth in the Camborne area and have meant that we were able to employ a Children & Youth Worker for 20 hours per week since January 2024. We are hugely srateful to this organisation for this cash injection. We continue to remind the congregation of the need for financial givins and we continue to look for more funding srants. Our financial reserves policy is to maintain sufficient cash reserves to meet our essential bills for a period of t￿ee months to give time to address any financial crisis which could arise. We therefore continue to maintain a reserve of £IO,O(Kl and this will be reviewed annually according to the needs of the church.
