Summary of the main activities in relation to these objectives 

## 1. Corporate gatherings for worship, prayer and mutual encouragement. 

This is central to the work and witness of the church. We have provided well structured, enjoyable services in the year including series of teachings and enrichment seminars during our Sunday and Wednesday services. Prayer life of the church continues in every service. Particularly every Friday evenings provide further opportunities for church members to pray together for God’s leading and offer prayer needs for country, community, households, church family and individuals. Our meetings, seminars continue to be open to the public and are advertised through our websites and social media handles. 

Pandemic: We have never in the history of the church needed to stop meeting for worship! Due to COVID-19 we had to close all in-person meetings. From the 22 March 2020, our worship services (on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays) have continued to be live-streamed till date. In-person meetings (Sunday worship services only) resumed on the 11th April 2021 alongside continued live streaming. Adjustments to the modes of worship enabled us to continue to: 

- help the church continue to worship 

- help and encourage the congregation and wider community 

- keep people connected 

- continuously improve the quality of what we do, both technical and content. 

We met on several occasions online and then later in person to prepare for in-person services in line with the UK Government’s strategic framework. We carried out the following work: 

• We used advice and guidelines from the UK Government, NHS and RCCG UK to complete a Risk Assessment, which we kept under periodic review. Care was taken to ensure we had a system up and running that would allow track and trace in the event of a case scenario. We implemented a cleaning plan with additional cleaning of ‘most touched’ areas of the building, on top of regular cleaning after service. Appropriate signage was up throughout the building with floor markings where needed. We communicated with each person or family that is part of our church, clearly explaining our responsibilities and actions as well as their responsibilities should they attend in-person services. We created a register that would help our congregation to engage with in-person church and ensure we were meeting the government’s regulations on the cap of number of people with physical distancing, as well as all the other measures such as masks, visors, distancing, one-way systems, hand gel stations, and no offering bags. Communion services/practice remained virtual, and no refreshments were served up until July 27th after restrictions had been lifted. 

## 2. Small Connect Groups 

At the outset of the year 2020, we set up small connect groups which helped people to stay connected, and feel connected via phone (WhatsApp), email and Zoom technology. As the year progressed a new group was set up. The married couple’s fellowship was a new initiative but a vision that has been at the heart of the senior pastor for well over 10 years. Changes in church membership demographics, and responsible response to membership needs had helped to facilitate the birth of this vision. Membership of the married couple’s connect group has grown and two major activities (socially distanced love feast – May 2021 and seminar August 2021) have now taken place.

## 3. Children’s Groups 

• All our children's focussed meetings stopped abruptly as a result of the pandemic. This left a massive vacuum. However, we continued to try and engage with our children through virtual children led/focussed service in March/ April 2020/21. 

- With parental support and engagement, children were regularly sent /signposted to Christian 

books/resources and virtual seminars to encourage their spiritual and emotional wellbeing. 

- Welfare calls were also placed to check on families with children at various times throughout the year. 

- Families were encouraged to continue to help children to be part of our virtual worship services. 

- Children focussed Sunday school classes are planned to resume in September 2021 in line with health and safety provisions. 

## 4. Pastoral Care 

Our membership has been well cared for. Pastoral care became a real challenge during the year as needs increased but the opportunity to spend time with people in person decreased. Much use was made of phoning, emailing, “Zooming”, meeting in gardens (where appropriate). We offered practical help and support to church family and community by helping with food shopping and dropping at footsteps. 5. Training 

We have worked to equip members of our congregation with the skills and knowledge to live out their Christian faith, participate effectively in the life and ministry of the church. We have taken advantage of conferences run by other ministries (e.g., Grace & Faith Conference through Andrew Womack Ministries, West African Faith Believers Conference / Pastors and minister’s training conference by Covenant Nation). We have run several workshops such as Goals visions setting, 7- week Discipleship course and Finance seminars. 

It was essential for the leadership to be apprised of the evolving situation during the year. This was a clear priority and experienced people were consulted and drafted in alongside the church senior leadership team to help shape church activities. Sources of information included the Government website, NHS website, RCCG UK website and Pastors meetings, and Evangelical Alliance / STAR website and meetings. 

It was important to learn and adopt new innovations as we went along and in a very short space of time. We took church services online and adopted new technologies to keep meetings and connections with the church members. 

Members, workers and stewards meeting was organised and conducted in-house in August 2021. 

6. Community engagement & social responsibility and advocacy 

The Church continues to play an active part in the life of the community, by donating to foodbanks and supporting the distribution of food to the less privileged in association with Higherland Methodist Church, The YMCA, Salvation Army and Newcastle-under-Lyme food bank. The church has met with council officials, and councillors to network and raise awareness about our charitable work but most importantly to know about area of much need help and how we can come alongside them to support our community. 

## 7. Mission abroad 

We seek to recognise and develop our part in God’s wider mission not only locally, but nationally and internationally, both within the RCCG and across denominational boundaries. We continue to support other RCCG initiatives in the UK and overseas mission causes through our giving to the RCCG Central Office. A number of our members support specific charities and organisations such as the Christian Legal aid and UCB.

## 8. Prison Ministry 

• Volunteers from the church continued working with chaplaincy and prisoners at Drake Hall. The church facilitated Christmas 2020 Angel tree programme and organised the distribution of Christmas gifts and faith-based age-appropriate books to children in (~110 families) affected by prison sentences. 

• We supported the prison chaplaincy, offered encouragement, and took up prayer needs as requested. 

9. Volunteer stewards/workers. The Trustees would like to thank all volunteers for their invaluable contribution to the life of the church (charity). 


## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

In promoting Christian faith, the church has managed to generate a total income of £43,309(2020 £40,087) through holding regular weekly meetings, conferences and joint conferences with other churches It is the Trustees objective to build up sufficient reserves to cover three month's recurrent expenditure. 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

In furtherance of the gospel and providing pastoral care, we will continue to improve our operations and activities as above in furtherance of the objects of the church. This includes organizing conferences and seminars, to promote the Christian faith, singles Retreat, married couples' dinner and regular leadership training. 

We will continue to offer welfare support to individuals within our congregation and the local community at large 

We will continue to develop and create volunteering opportunities and engaging with our local community, statutory agencies and enhancing good working relationship with key stakeholders in the local community. 

## The Community connection Programme: 

We will continue with our plans to develop Transformation Community Resource Centre and the community projects we are currently running 

The charity intends to expand its operations and charitable activities and has therefore proposed to start a PAYE Scheme that may be used to pay employee's wages and remunerations. 

Also to improve the finances of the organisation, the trustees are planning to register for the Gift Aid Scheme from the beginning of 2021 financial year to claim the approve HMRC gift aid repayments. 

## Leadership Development: 

Leadership development in the church remains a central priority. Plans are in place for seminars and trainings. 

## Connect Groups: 

Connect Groups must become a greater focus in the life of the church. They offer a way for people to be and feel more connected. 

## Missions: 

We plan to lift the profile of mission work at home and abroad.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. 

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
