via podcast and in person. We put on
identifying the difference the a Leader's Training
Course which was attended
by
charity's work has made to leaders from several outside churches.
We wrote

and any wider
benefits to society as a

course which
again was well attended
and well received.
We

feasts and festivals
including
Tabernacles,
candlelight
Christmas
services and
a
harvest children's
party which was open to the
church and the community.
We continued
to support
an intern and an external
bible college candidate.
We launched
a testimony
Magazine
called
'Wonderful
Life' which was used an evangelism
tool and distributed
during
outreach
events and
door to door.
We continued
to provide
Sunday services,
children's
church, mid-week
home groups,
courses, and prayer groups.
We had special visiting speakers from the US,
Christian
friends of Israel, Generation26eneration,
and talks from Iranian Christians
on the persecuted
church. We supported
all these groups financially
and through
prayer.
Through
our synergy
alliance subscription,
we
enjoyed taking part in their annual
'Empower'
long
weekend
conference.
Having completed
legal work on the transfer of
the Titchfield
building,
in February 2019we
opened our 5th church plant congregation
in
Titchfield.
During the rest ofthe year taking the
opportunity
afforded
by the pandemic
and closed
buildings
we completed
upgrades to the building
including
heating,
fire safety, CCTV installation
and
general
repair to facilitate church and community
involvement
in the village upon re-opening.
As the pandemic
hit and churches were closed
from the end of March 2020, we began to produce
more online content including
a Thought for the
Day and regular online Sunday church services and
several online services specifically for children.
We
increased
podcast output to include a series on
Teaching through
the Bible, Meditation
on Torah,
The way ofthe Pilgrim, Through
the book of
Revelation
and The Biblical Importance
of Israel.
Being aware ofthe effect that lockdown
was
having on mental
health, we ramped
up pastoral
support
forming
small groups on-line and on
WhatsApp.
As restrictions
allowed, we formed
small groups for outside worship
and small groups
for mental
health support.
Community
leaflets were produced
and advertised
on social media, at the building
and door to door
offering support to the local community.
We had
several responses to this, and we met these and
other known
practical needs (both within the
church and within the community)
predominantly
via the use ofAsda shopping
vouchers over the
course ofthe year. We set up a relief fund which
was used to support those financially
affected
by
the pandemic
and made regular collections and
donations to a local Acts of Kindness food bank.
Once permitted,
we used the building
for a
second-hand
children's
clothes sale to support
those
in need in the community.
We offered baptisms
in the sea as restrictions
allowed.
In response to government
guidance
in July 2020
we began the hire of a field for 'church
in the
field'.
This has been a huge success and a lifeline
to many over the course ofthe pandemic.
Being a
large, open outside space it has given
us a safe
way to worship for much ofthe year.
As other
church buildings
were closed, these Sundays
attracted
many worshippers
from far and wide. We
ran a 'bring your own' communion
service.
As restrictions
allowed, we made the Titchfield
Building open to the public for private
prayer.
Towards the end of2020 we acquired the use of
an acre of ploughed
land with which we set up a
church community
allotment.
This has proved a
huge success improving
mental
health and
providing
the church with outside fellowship
and
community
across all ages.
In December 2020 we hosted an outside Carol
Service in the town centre in line with government
guidance.
We take an active role in local church communities
and are members of Churches together
in
Fareham,
Churches together
in Gosport and
Churches to ether in Stubbin ton.
