THE FATHER'S HOME REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR 1ST APRIL 2024 TO 31ST MARCH 2025
Introduction
On behalf of the Trustees of The Father’s Home Church, we are pleased to present this annual report outlining the activities, governance, and ministry life of the church over the past year.
Throughout the year, The Father’s Home Church has continued to gather regularly for worship. The church remains based at The Upper Room at the Beefeater, Wolverhampton, where Sunday services are held. There have been no significant changes to the core activities of the church during this period. Teaching and preaching have remained consistent, with messages focused on building a strong Christian faith, discipleship, and a continued commitment to loving others.
The Trustees acknowledge that this year has been one of both faithfulness and challenge, marked by leadership transition and personal loss within the church community.
Our Mission
At The Father’s Home Church, our mission remains steadfast: to love the people and worship God. We believe that these two key elements—loving one another and glorifying God through worship—are the foundation of everything we do. Our activities, ministries, and outreach programs are all designed to embody these values, serving both the spiritual and practical needs of our community. We are a church without walls.
Achievements and Activities
1. Worship and Teaching
Regular worship services have continued throughout the year at our Wolverhampton venue. Teaching has remained focused on spiritual growth, Christian character, and living out faith through love and service.
During the year, Ingrid and Vince Nuara announced to the church their intention to step down from their roles as pastors. They have continued to serve faithfully during this period, providing pastoral care and leadership while preparing the church for transition. The Trustees are grateful for their years of service and leadership.
The church is now preparing for this pastoral transition, and the process will be guided and supported by the Skylark Church Network, ensuring appropriate spiritual oversight, accountability, and continuity.
2. Children’s Ministry (Kids Church)
Kids Church has continued to operate, providing a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment for children to learn about God through age-appropriate teaching and activities.
During the year, Annabella Boneham stepped down from her role as Kids Church Coordinator, having felt led to focus on a different ministry alongside her husband, Adam Boneham. The Trustees wish to express sincere gratitude to Annabella for her faithful service and leadership within the children’s ministry.
3. Intergenerational Service
The Intergenerational Service, coordinated by Annabella and Adam Boneham, has continued to be held every second Sunday of the month. This service brings together adults and children in a combined worship experience.
Activities are designed to encourage participation across all ages, with families often sitting together in groups. This format allows both adults and children to engage meaningfully in worship, teaching, and discussion, strengthening relationships across generations within the church.
4. Youth Club
The church Youth Club has met on a small number of occasions during the year. Activities have included a bowling outing, which was enjoyed by the children and young people. These events were supported by adult supervision from Toto and Ojo, ensuring a safe and positive environment. The Trustees remain encouraged by the engagement seen and continue to explore appropriate opportunities for youth activities.
5. Support of Other Charities
The Father’s Home Church has continued to support other charitable organisations through financial donations and prayerful support, including:
-
WOW
-
Kintsugi
-
Skylark
-
Embrace Outreach
This reflects the church’s commitment to partnership, generosity, and extending care beyond its immediate congregation.
Leadership and Administrative Changes
During the year, the church experienced changes within its administrative and financial roles:
-
Stephen Ibbs stepped down from his role as Church Administrator
-
Shelagh Ibbs stepped down from her role as Treasurer
The Trustees thank both Stephen and Shelagh for their service and contribution to the church.
-
Marika Cuzzaniti has since been appointed as Treasurer
-
Queensley Ojo now assists with administrative responsibilities
• New leadership team was formed help with the incoming transition, it consists of 4 individuals who are all dedicated members of the father’s home church.
Affiliation and Oversight
The Father’s Home Church continues to operate under the umbrella of the Skylark Church Network, which provides both spiritual and practical support, including leadership guidance, mentoring, and accountability. This partnership is particularly significant as the church prepares for pastoral transition.
Bereavement and Pastoral Care
During the year, the church community experienced two bereavements, which had a significant emotional impact on the congregation and affected the pace of the transition process. The Trustees recognise the weight of these losses and acknowledge the period of grief experienced by the church family.
The church has remained united in prayer and support for the families who have been bereaved. Despite these challenges, the congregation continues to demonstrate resilience, compassion, and hope.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Mrs. Ingrid Nuara stepped down from being chair of the board of trustees and a member of trustees in February 2025 after a 4 weeks’ notice.
Mrs. Raj Hare resigned from the board of trustees in April 2024. She continues to support the works of The Father’s Home.
Conclusion
The Trustees are thankful for God’s faithfulness throughout the year and for the commitment of those who serve within The Father’s Home Church. While the year has included change, loss, and preparation for transition, the church has remained steadfast in its mission and hopeful for the future.
As the church moves forward, supported by the Skylark Church Network, the Trustees remain confident that The Father’s Home Church will continue to grow, serve, and reflect God’s love within its community.
