Ogmore by Sea Church (previously Ogmore by Sea Evangelical Church)
This is the first Annual Report of the Church for the year to 30 March 2021
The Trust is registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (C.I.O. No. 1187256). Its governing document is a Trust Deed dated 26[th] October 2019 and submitted to the Charity Commission on 6[th] January 2021.
Trustees during the year to 31 March 2021 were: Mr Charles Michael Hill (Chairman/Correspondent) 44, Seaview Drive Ogmore by Sea, Bridgend CF32 0PB
Mr Alan Bernard Fowler (Treasurer) Mrs Jennifer Margaret Hill Reverend Dominic Thomas White
New trustees are appointed under the Trust Deed by election of the Church membership. Rev Dominic White was appointed as a Trustee since the inception of the C.I.O.. Mr Steven Gibbs resigned in September 2020 .
The object of the Trust is to further and advance the Christian religion in accordance with the statement of faith primarily but not exclusively in Ogmore by Sea and its immediate neighbourhood. In furtherance of this object, the church may also undertake such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the membership of the church, put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the basis of faith. These shall be carried out in a manner that is consistent with the doctrinal distinctives and ethical statements as may be adopted and amended by the church from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Church handbook.
During the year, the church appointed the Reverend Dominic White as a part-time pastor to a vacant role. Along with the Trustees and membership, the Church has sought to fulfil its charitable objectives and looks forward to continuing to do so in the coming years. In particular, the church holds regular Sunday Services, weekly bible
study and prayer meetings, coffee and cake meetings for the community and engages in various other activities on an occasional basis. Of note, the Church runs various activities during the week for children and youngsters.
The Church owns land and property on Church Close in Ogmore by Sea which is registered with the UK Land Registry.
Reverend Dominic White and Mr Owen Hughes (family Worker) were the only paid members of staff during the financial period. The Trustees took care to ensure that their remuneration was commensurate with their appointments and responsibilities. The church relies on the gifts of members and friends for its income and has no policy on maintaining dedicated reserves. The assets of the old charity (Ogmore by Sea Evangelical Church) have been transferred to the new C.I.O. and are included in the annual income of the Church. It is anticipated that the Church will have sufficient funds to cover the expected costs in the forthcoming year. The C.I.O.’s bankers are BARCLAYS BANK PLC, Leicester LE87 2BB.
Declaration- The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above.
