The Indian Pentecostal Church of God (IPC) Cambridge is a non-profit Christian organisation based in Cambridgeshire. It was founded in November 2010 and registered as a charity on 3 December 2018. As a charitable organisation, it aims to spread love, joy and peace in Jesus Christ, adhering to the doctrines and ideals of apostolic churches. It collaborates with other churches in Cambridgeshire to achieve its objectives. The church is welcoming to individuals from any culture, religion or language and offers services to all.

Community activities include Bible study groups, tea parties and craft activities for Sunday school students. Food banks are increasingly provided after Sunday worship.
The church also provides clothing, food and school supplies to numerous churches, orphanages in India and Africa and other organisations to support education in rural areas. Based on biblical principles, it seeks to assist the working class and less fortunate people in India and Africa.

We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner:
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act), to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as matters set out in the statements below.
atement:
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and to prepare accounts which record with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting records of the 1193 Act have not been met; or to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
