## **HEC CIO 1177176 – Annual Report – Presented to Members on 23.4.24** HEC CIO continued to operate during 2024-25 to align with its key mission and to promote Christ and serve the local community. To Know Jesus and make him Known. Promoting the Christian Faith according to its constitution and rules. During the year we have completed several biblical series on Sunday mornings and evenings. - And God Said. – Seasonal series - Acts of the Apostles - Plus One – Famous verses and the neighbouring verses - Luke – All About Jesus - The Apostles of Jesus - Christ is Born The numbers of members have increased, and the church continues to grow with new visitors and attenders each month. ## 1. Ministers report: AGM 2025 _Praise the Lord for His bountiful goodness to us over this last year._ _From the Children’s work in Sunday School, Youth Bible Study, Creche, Toddlers, Explorers, Who Let the Dad’s Out, Bible Holiday Club or Schools work and the new youth group, to the Lunch Club, Craft Club, Men’s and the Ladies Prayer breakfast, the coffee mornings, the various other outreach events and everything else in-between we have seen the Lord’s hand of blessing._ _We see and hear God’s truth faithfully preached each week, as His people are strengthened and sanctified in their faith through the saturation of His word._ _Home groups by and large continue to grow. We have around 65 attending although the numbers in some groups fluctuate, so elders took the decision to combine two of the groups in order to consolidate the group. There are now 5 groups over two nights all currently lead by the Elders. Thank you to those who have led the house groups and to those who offer hospitality._ _Regular Sunday attendance is encouraging, we are constantly seeing new faces, some are staying and find a spiritual home with us. On our prayer diary we see the extent of those associated with church and those who regularly attend. (169) (146)_ _Grateful thanks to all those who have supported the teaching and preaching ministry this year and to all those who have led our worship each week._ _Preachers from Holmgate have also been able to support local fellowships including Birches Lane, Stonedge Chapel, Steep Turnpike, Green Bank Chapel, and Christ Church Aspley (in Nottingham)._ _A Christianity Explored course starts a week on Wednesday. We have three folks who have said they will attend, with several others expressing a desire to. Please pray that those the Lord’s hand is upon will come and learn more of Him._ _Associate Ministers report – AGM 2025_ _I want to praise God for the many people who attended our March 4 Mission events and I want to rejoice in the many blessings He has afforded us as individuals and as a church._ _Thank you to all who came and supported our March 4 Mission events. We ran a range of different activities, all of which were well supported by the church, and members of the community._ _Another highlight was the Michael J. Tinker Show, which was suitable for all the family. Over 100 people turned up to enjoy the show, which had a gospel thread all the way through._ _Mission, it is really encouraging to see a Christianity Explored Course starting next week. We launched our first Holiday Bible Club at Birches Lane, the day following an Easter Holiday Club at Holmgate. Across both Bible Clubs, we had over 60 children attend._ _Finally, work behind the scenes has continued on the next stage of a potential Satellite Site. If you remember, back in our January Meeting, we unanimously voted to move to this next stage. This evening, we presented you with the ‘Where & Who’._ ## 2. 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. Steve Allwood stepped down as Deacon after several year of service. ## 3. Other Activities and Ministries The many active ministries within HEC CIO continue during the week in addition to Sunday services and midweek meetings for Bible Study and Prayer. |•|Lunch Club,|•|Youth Ministry| |---|---|---|---| |•|Ladies Prayer Group|•|Ladies Ministry| |•|Pastoral Care Group|•|March 4 Mission| |•|Who let the Dad’s out?|•|Holiday Bible Clubs| |•|Men’s Breakfast,|•|Prayer week| |•|Toddlers,|•|Fellowship Meals| |•|Craft Club,|•|Songs of Praise| |•|Explorers,||| ## 4. **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.

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting reGords kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 11 also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such mallers. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited lo those matter5 set out in the statement below.
