| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The purpose of Redeemer Grimsby is to exalt the name of Jesus Christ through gospel-centred, discipleship, community & mission. We are an elder- led church seeking to advance the Christian faith through regular times of public worship, prayer & bible study. We have a service at 11.30a.m. every Sunday morning held in the YMCA building at 21 Freeman St., Grimsby. We have sought to give & encourage pastoral care & have constantly reviewed our programme as our duty to ‘love one another’. We have supported charitable social action in the local community as several of our members continue to work in the food kitchen. We give monthly donations to 5 charities;- The Bible Society, Compassion ( supporting a 6 year old boy in Ghana ), Open Door ( supporting the persecuted Church ), Hope for Justice ( anti-slavery & human trafficking ) and, beginning in April 2022 Christians in Ukraine ). |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have continued to meet in the cafe at the YMCA in Grimsby every Sunday morning for a church service. We also meet there every Tuesday evening for bible study and Thursday evening for prayer. Due to a fall in membership to just 7 in August 2022 we began a period of fasting on the last Thursday of the month and a bring and share meal on the following Sunday after the service. Since then we began to see a definite growth in attendance so that by the end of March 23 our membership had more than doubled from the previous year. In December we donated a Christmas |
| hamper to all 74 residents of the hostel as well as several staff members. We also held a Christmas service in the local Freeman St. Market which was well attended and created some welcome publicity. Subsequently we continued to hold a service and be a presence in the market every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ( the Tuesday bible studies were discontinued. In the time covered by this report we held 3 Elder/ Trustee meetings and 2 members meetings. |
