1. Pastor’s Report to AGM
Our Annual General Meeting affords us the time to stop and give thanks to God as members for His goodness to us this last year; however, I feel it’s only right as this is our 50th anniversary, that we mark this at this formal meeting. 50 years of God’s faithfulness to a group of people, initially led by John Rosser, who had the vision, desire and drive to establish a gospel witness here in Holmgate. 50 years of faithful preaching, which has seen many people brought into the kingdom of God and hundreds of believers strengthen and grown in faith. Thousands of children have heard the goodness of Jesus Christ through the children and schools work, and tens of thousands of pounds given into the work of the kingdom God.
We, who have been called for ‘such a time as this’, are building on good foundations of tens of thousands of hours of service over the 50 years. As we reflect on this last year as we read down through the annual reports we see some of the fruit of these last 50 years of Gospel work…
In the midst of those 50 years, a second congregation was planted. Walton is now a thriving independent fellowship that has seen God’s blessing on them, as a result of steps of faith taken all those years ago. We are at a similar juncture, as we continue to seek the Lord’s mind for the establishment of another congregation in an area where there is no other gospel witness. Where that will be and how that will look like we are still uncertain, is it a good idea or a God idea!?! We don’t know.
But what we do know is that we are seeing growth in every area of the life of church, that should cause our hearts to rejoice but also inspire us to continue with our gospel call here at HEC. As individual members we need to challenge ourselves in our continuing commitment to the work. Am I doing, giving, serving in a way that is worthy of God’s call on my life.
In Matthew 28, Jesus gave His commission to those first believers and that same command is given to us…
‘go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age’.
May the Lord help us to be faithful in the coming 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or more years or for as long as He tarries.

2. Associate Pastor’s Report to AGM
1 Thessalonians 5: 18 says, ‘give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus’. We’ve been reminded of this verse in our recent mid-week studies in 1 Thessalonians. Are we thankful enough? Therefore, as we look back over this past quarter, I really want to praise God for all He is doing in our church…
Praise God for the 53 children who attended our Holiday Bible Club back on Wednesday 21st February 2024. A great, albeit hectic, time was had as we managed to pull together some extra buns and craft in order to accommodate more children. During the morning the children learnt about ‘Daniel in the Lion’s Den’. They also enjoyed making lion faces and decorating lion themed buns. Thank you to everyone who helped during the morning, and many thanks to all those who were praying. Please do continue to pray for the young people in our community. Praise God for the contacts and connections we have.
Praise God for the connections we have with Holmgate School, and for the connections we have with folk in the community through Lunch Club.
3. Re-election of Officers
At the meeting, Phil informed the members that both Richard Lowe and Gareth Paradise were up for re-election. The decision to re-elect both Richard Lowe and Gareth Paradise was unanimous.

5. Church Buildings and Land
The church still owns and maintains three properties – The High Street shop is let with a new Tennant for the shop and the ongoing Tennant for the flat. The manse at which the pastor lives and the church itself. During the year the church sold a ransom strip of land at the manse for support a local developer create an access road to a new development. The funds will be used to further the ministries at Holmgate with plans for some refurbishment at the church.
Closing Summary
The church continues to grow, and we see many visitors and guests. We thank God for his goodness and for the faithfulness of his people who volunteer and serve in our church.
