Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
It's been quite a year of growth for our church, one that we have navigated through with prayer and great diligence. Although we continued to support our government in its efforts to contain the virus, we were now free to open in person church meetings. This is been a good change and the church has grown as a result.
Sunday Church: As a church we have seen steady growth since we launched in person meetings again since COVID restrictions were in place, and this is reflected in our Sunday meetings. Our attendees come from diverse backgrounds, with ages ranging from infants to the elderly.
We were able to meet again at our venue St Philips for "in person" Sunday services. Our in-person services involved a stringent risk assessment, Our services have been beneficial to the life of the church, and we have been able to experiment with our services in a way we have never tried pre covid.
Kids Work: Now that COVID restrictions have been lifted, we arrange for our children's and Youth work to continue, both online, and "in person". Our kids ministry is now called, “Mighty Oaks” We used material produced by our "in house" team, as well as other bespoke sources. This included “Music with Nicky”.
Small Groups: We had to move our groups back in person as well as maintaining online Bible Studies via Zoom. It was found to be a medium that actually worked well.
Bushcraft Heroes: We continue to host our Bushcraft Heroes sessions, providing free wilderness, bushcraft experiences to city kids and their grown ups. This takes place at a woodland in Arundel and includes free meals for everyone attending. Our team of volunteers continues to grow.
Prayer: Our aim as a church both individually and corporately is to increase the amount of prayer and fasting in the church.
