CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST ROCK OF GOD PARISH Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2025 The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. Structure, Governance and Management Objectives and Activities The objects of the Celestial Church of Christ- Rock of God Parish are to propagate the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Christian Counselling, Advice, and Information In propagating the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the parish engaged in evangelism, prayer sessions, spiritual counselling, advice, and information to the general public during regular weekly services. These extend to assisting members and non-members in housing and financial needs, the provision of regular'Health Check, for all to attend and discuss them health problems and have medical check-up with volunteer Doctors and Nurses. This forum has been very helpful in dictating early symptoms of sicknesses and illnesses and referring the affected to hospitals for treatment and cure. Financial assistance for charitable objects The parish donated generously to many individuals in need, such as destitute, the disabled and the sick in our society. We also rendered financial support to various organisations in support of their own humanitarian and charitable activities Other Charitable activities Other charitable activities include spreading the Word of God among all nations and announcing the good news of the Kingdom of God to the poor in spirit. This was done through our Spiritual Worships which are open to the general public, revivals, healings, and evangelism which are conducted to Stimulate spiritual awareness among the people, seminars and symposia which are organised for people to know and understand more about the Word of God Financial Sources The church income comes mainly from the weekly tithes and church building funds, other church contributions such as thanksgiving, annual conference, travel, and music funds.
Evangelism The church held evangelism programs that attracted new members into the fold. Our outreach programs also increased from three to six times annually.
