Trustees’ Annual Report
For the Period 01 January 2022 to 31 December 2022
Reference and administration details
2022 has been a year of stabilising and steady advancement. The Church has continued in its vision to bring the gospel to the local community and overseas through it's giving and involvement. We have made great impact in the area and have been able to work with youths from the local community and university. The Church has also responded well to the harvest field, and investment in World Evangelism has increased.
Financial review
This year there is an increase in income and World Evangelism due to the growth in the number of people coming to our services. We have maintained equally low expenses which has enabled the Church to operate alongside the growth that we have seen.
Policy on reserves
The charity has no reserve policy. Restricted funds are normally used up when raised.
