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.
Musical Instruments
The chvrch acquired 3 speakers and 3 micro phones that enable us to attract more membership into the fold
Statement of Trustees, responsibilities
The Board of Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice.
Charity law applicable to charities in England/Wales requires the Board of Trustees to prepare
financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period. In preparing
those financial statements the Board of Trustees have:
Selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently.
Made judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
Stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to anv
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,. and
Prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis (unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the Charity will continue in operation).
The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has an
appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping
proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial
position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Charities Act 2(X)6. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other
irregularities.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and
financial information. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and
dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
