Cornerstone Arabic Christian Fellowship End of Year Report and Accounts Year ending 31[st] December 2021 ## Charity Information **Trustees:** Bassem Hanna (Chairman) Hany Abaskharon Raef Fikry Faris Nigel Nicholson New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. **Governing Document:** “Foundation” Model Constitution **Charity Registration Number:** 1176879 **Registered Office:** 23 Elsinore Gardens The Vale London NW2 1SS **Bankers:** Barclays ## Objects The objects of the CIO are: 1. To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the statement of faith (stated in the charity CIO constitution) in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the World. 2. Such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the Trustees, further the work of the church. ## Aims and Objectives The central tenet of Cornerstone Arabic Christian Fellowship is that the Christian Faith itself brings immediate benefit to its followers, hence the purpose of the church is to promote this faith. There is however a requirement on Christians to demonstrate their faith in very practical ways, and in the context of Cornerstone this is worked out by providing a supportive community for Arabic speaking people living in London. Many of these people have been displaced from Middle-Eastern countries through war and persecution and the community of the church meets a very real need for them and their families. _Page 1_ ## Activities in 2021 It goes without saying that the pandemic required a complete revision of our plans for 2020 with most activities moving online. The church has held the following regular meetings: - Sunday services: - 5:30-7:30pm Sunday service (online broadcasting using Zoom) - Moving online allowed extending invitations to overseas Arabic speakers more frequently offering extra support and spiritual encouragement to the congregation during this difficult time. - We managed to extend the outreach using the broadcasted service to Arabic speaking people in Wales, Scotland and Brighton, but also further afield in Germany and Syria. - Weekly prayer meeting. - We also managed to hold Joint meetings online with other Arabic congregations in London. - Resumed Church meetings with many challenges post lock down. - In the short time where we were permitted to meet for worship the church make a extensive and successful effort for full risk assessment establishing guidelines for social distancing and screen protection with high standards of safety. - The church contributed in facilitating funding and offering help to hundreds of refugees who were placed in West London during the Covid time. Many were Arabic speaking requiring special support. This was carried out in partnership with Bell-Farm Baptist Church West Drayton. - The Church continues to offer pastoral care for newcomers and existing congregation. The church continued to see generous giving from individuals facilitating an expanded programme of activities and increased investment in pastoral care. ## Plans for 2022 - Bimonthly youth group - Annual church conference booked, and plans/preparations are in progress. - Evangelistic outreach in London, and Cardiff in the summer. - The media work which started during the pandemic continues and steps towards live broadcast are being taken. This will allow us to reach out to more people in London and beyond. The aim is to see the membership of the church grow through people coming to faith. _Page 2_ ## Financial Review ## Reserves Policy The church does not have a reserves policy, but spending is controlled to ensure there is no deficit on the accounts. ## Funds in Deficit There are no funds in deficit in the current accounting period. ## Accounts See attached.
