Christ Church Bradford Registered Charity Number: 1177174 (England & Wales) ## Trustees’ Report for Financial Period Ending 31[st] December 2023 Throughout 2023, the Charity has continued to advance the Christian faith among its own members, among the wider congregation, among people who live around us but who don't normally attend church, and overseas. This has been by means of services of worship, held every Sunday morning 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. During school term-times for the whole of 2023 there was a mid-week café which was open to anyone but was specifically intended for local people to drop in and enjoy a light lunch, conversation with church members and a short presentation of the gospel. We support (including financial support), a number of churches overseas. The work has all been done 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 the Sunday morning services and/or bank transfer. Some of the latter has had gift aid applied for.
