Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are: a) ‘To advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in the UK and worldwide in accordance with the Statement of Faith. b) The relief of poverty, sickness and financial hardship. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Oasis Central Church is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and become part of a close-knit community. Our services put faith and worship into practice through prayer, scripture and music. We enable people to live out their faith with like-minded yet a diverse group of people through prayer, the Word and worship; through providing pastoral care for people in the community and also through outreach work. The main activities undertaken for public benefit this year in relation to advancing the Christian faith include: holding regular services on Sunday afternoons which consist of praise & worship, sermons, prayer; a Sunday School for children under the age of 10; and a Teens Church for young people between the ages of 11&18. On Tuesday evenings the church holds a Bible Study class for those who wish to learn more about the Bible. We also hold regular prayer meetings throughout the week. As a result of the global pandemic and lockdowns; the above activities were held virtually until the alleviation of COVID-19 restrictions (May 2021) which now allows for |
| in-person worship. The church has provided welfare to needy church members by providing food, financial donations and advice regarding money management, mentoring and academic support. In September 2021, the Church organised an outreach program in Birmingham to reach out to the needy and also offered personal development sessions. |
