Theology School
Theology School provides free Christian education to pastors and ministers worldwide. In 2023-2024, it expanded its mission by supporting Swindon Church, a new church plant in Swindon, UK. The charity aims to equip leaders with theological training and strengthen Christian communities globally. In 2023-2024, Theology School provided free online theological education to pastors and ministers worldwide. It also supported Swindon Church by funding ministry resources such as Christian education materials (e.g., booklets, leaflets), marketing costs for utreaches, venue hire for Sunday services, and virtual meeting facilities like Zoom. These activities promote Christian education, leadership development, and community outreach, benefiting both global and local faith communities. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Comission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity.
In 2023-2024, Theology School provided free theological education to hundreds of pastors and ministers globally, equipping them for effective ministry. It also supported Swindon Church by funding resources, venue hire, and outreach efforts, enabling it to establish a local Christian community. These activities have strengthened church leadership, facilitated gospel outreach, and contributed to the spiritual and social well-being of communities, local and worldwide.
At the end of the period, Theology School remained financially stable, with all income sourced from £1,000 in donations from its trustees. These funds supported free theological education, ministry resources, venue hire, outreach initiatives, and virtual meeting facilities. The cash balance carried forward into 2023 was £290.48. After expenditures aligned with the charity’s objectives, the cash balance carried forward to 2024 is £233.84, with zero reserves. No significant financial risks were identified, and the charity continues to operate on a donation-funded model. Theology School does not hold reserves, as all funds received are used directly to support its charitable activities, including free theological education, ministry resources, venue hire, outreach initiatives, and virtual meeting facilities. The charity operates on a donation-funded model, with trustees providing financial support as needed to sustain its mission.
## Zero
Theology School holds zero reserves because it operates on a donation-funded model, where all funds are used immediately to support its activities. The charity’s financial position is sustained through ongoing donations from trustees, ensuring funds are allocated directly to providing theological education, ministry resources, and supporting outreach initiatives. As a result, there is no need to hold reserves, as the charity’s funding needs are met on a regular basis.
