Bodmin Christian Fellowship Charity Report 2021
2021 was the beginning of the transition of Bodmin Christian Fellowship to Immanuel Church Bodmin, by merger with Bodmin Community Church (BCC). To this end we started having joint services with BCC. The aim of the merger was to create a larger, stronger church that would be better positioned to serve God and the local community.
Income and donations to Bodmin Christian Fellowship
The majority of income was from collections and donations from Church members (£8,644.90). A private donor also made a significant donation (£2,187.50). An interest payment of £1.82 was also received.
Work within the church
As the congregation has grown, we have invested in screens that can be used in the service, giving the whole room a good view of any visual media used. The worn carpet was replaced to create a more welcoming environment.
New signage was also purchased, reflecting the Church's merger and new name. The aim of this being to raise awareness of the new church within the local community.
Support for other Christian work and outreach
The church supported Christian ministry locally, nationally and internationally; through gifts to individual Christian workers and organisations. These donations were used for work in communities in the UK and overseas and included joint initiatives with other churches in Bodmin.
Work and support in the community
This year saw our continued support for Christians Against Poverty, both financially (£1,220) and by donating office space for their workers.
Use of our premises was donated to the local Foodbank for two days per week, with many residents of Bodmin and the wider community being supported by their work.
