Summary of the objects of the
charlty set out In Its
governing document
TAR
March 2012

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance
on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the
Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit. Redeemer Church
Birmingham provides this through a wide range of activities in accordance
with its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities provide
benefit to those who are part of the church and to the wider public.
Church Life and Worship
The church has enjoyed a positive and encouraging year, marked by growing
relationship5. spiritual development, and renewed connections. Sundays have
continued to be a central feature of church life. with attendance averaging
between 30 and 40 people. These gatherings have been characterised by
warmth, hospitality, and meaningful times together in worship, teaching, and
fellowship.
The church has continued to reach out in both word and deed, engaging
with a wide mix of people and responding to a variety of needs and life
situations. Encouragingly, there have been several new faces on Sundays,
including both believers and those exploring faith for the first time.
Summary of the main
artivities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public beneflt)
During the year, baptisms took place, providing Significant moments of
celebration and testimony to faith in Jesus Christ. Work was also undertaken
to clarify and strengthen church membership, helping to ensure a shared
understsnding of commitment, belonging, and discipleship within the church
community.
A major highlight of the year was the church'5 Strengthening of external
relationships, particularly connecting with Redeemer Plymouth and officially
joining Advance in November 2024. This partnership has been described as a
"breath of fresh air" and a significant blessing, offering encouragement,
accountability, and shared vision.
Discipleship. Small Groups. and Midweek Activities
Midweek discipleship remained an important focu5. The church ran two
Hope Groups, alongside regular Prayer Meetings, creating space for deeper
relationships and spiritual growth.
These group5 typically involved:
Bible teaching and discussion. including Stories of Hope fmm the Life
ofJe5us (Luke)
Fellowship and mutual support
Prayer and reflection
A focus on "What Now?" discipleship, helping individuals apply faith
to everyday life
These gatherings continue to play a vital role in nurturing faith and building
community beyond Sunday services.

Evangelism and Courses
An evangelistic course, "What IP", was run as an Alpha-style programme
over 8 sessions at the Black Horse venue. Around 20 people attended,
providing a welcoming, informal environment for discussion, questions, and
exploration of Christian belief.
This initiative formed an important part of the church's commitment to
offering acce55ible pathways for those curious about faith while fostering
authentic relationships.
Community Engagement and Outreach
Community engagement remained a significant area of activity and public
benefit. The church continues to run hospitality-based outreach activities,
including..
Monday Coffee Afternoon
Wednesday Coffee Morning
These groups provide welcoming, inclusive spaces for connection,
conversation, and practical support. They also act as part of the
church's "community-to-Jesus' pathway, hosted in the same hall used for
Sunday worship. Information about church services, courses, and activities is
regularly shared, and participants are signposted to other church-run
initiatives where appropriate.
These activities serve a dual purpose:
They are intrinsically beneficial to the local area, reducing isolation
and building friendships.
They also provide a relational and indirect gospel witness,
strengthening connections between the church and the wider
community.
Attendance remained strong throughout the year, with:
Around 30 people regularly attending the busy Wednesday morning
group
Around 16 people attending the Monday group, which moved from a
care home to Oddingley, offering a more accessible and suitable
venue
