Building on the solid Apostolic foundation that has been laid by our Matriarchs and Patriarchs. Our vision is to expound the gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. Reaching out and bringing together all people and the community in love and peace.
## **OUR OBJECTIVES**
Our objective as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) is to advance the Apostolic Christian doctrine in accordance with the Christian Faith, primarily but not exclusively within Coventry and the surrounding area.
To provide and maintain a Community Centre for the benefit of the community in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said community.
Bethel New life Apostolic Church’s ultimate goal is to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ with all of our being, to follow Jesus and become more and more like him, and to learn to live Spirit-filled and Spirit-led lives.
In all this, we are called to love one another and use our spiritual gifts for the common good.
1. We aim to provide a praise and worship experience for everyone who attends weekly church services.
2. We aim to stimulate change by educating and equipping the body of Christ to grow in the knowledge of God and for the work of the ministry.
3. We aim to nurture and support one another to realise our full potential and to utilise our gifts and talent to edify the body of Christ.
4. We aim to mobilise, train, develop and prepare the body of Christ for the work of the ministry and for personal growth and development.

“It’s time for change…” Not in the message, but in our methods. Not meaningless change, but change with a purpose. Here is our four-point strategy we are applying to stimulate change here at Bethel New life:
1. EDUCATE - Educate people on the need for change and why we are proposing certain strategies, while evaluating our current practices for effectiveness. We also aim to continue to develop leaders to assist with the overall plan.
2. IMPLEMENT - Phase out or change what not working; slowly bring in change utilising the Apostolic pattern of the 1st century Church, within the framework of a 21st century application and culture. The purpose is to make us more effective as a vibrant Apostolic church of the 21st Century.
3. ADJUST – Be flexible, and be willing to explore new ideas and possibilities for evangelism under the leadership of the Holy Ghost. With the uniqueness of this generation, no doubt there will be God-given methods that have never been utilised before.
4. REAP – Expect to reap from what we have sown. The Lo

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
