Christ Church Bradford Trustees Report 2021
Throughout 2021, the Charity has continued to advance the Christian faith among its own members, among the wider congregation, and among people who live around us but don’t attend church, and overseas.
This has been by means of services of worship, held on every Sunday of the year, Sunday evening prayer meetings, Wednesday evening services of worship or prayer meetings (on almost every Wednesday of the year), online broadcasts of services, a weekday club for children during term time, and a teenage meeting on most Sunday evenings. We have also engage in some outreach work in the city centre and in a local park most weeks of the year.
Our former toddler group and activities for the over 50s, which had been closed down in 2020 because of Covid, did not start up again in 2021. However, a new lunch time outreach, was launched towards the end of 2021 offering lunch and conversation to local people on most Wednesday afternoons.
We continued throughout 2021 to support (including financial support), a number of churches overseas.
The church’s activities have all been carried out in accordance with Baptist principles, meaning that particular stress has been placed upon individual conversion, baptism, church membership, and the Lord’s Supper.
The church has been financed by church members and others who have attended the services, by means of donations made during our regular services, and/or bank transfer. Some of the latter has been gift aided.
