Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The object of the CIO is to advance the Christian faith for the public benefit, in Barnsley and such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world that the charity trustees may from time to time think fit, and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charity work of the charity |
| 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 |
The main activities in the reporting period were mainly related to the public worship, preaching and prayer activities of the church. The aim is to make the christian gospel relevant to as many as possible through high quality worship music, and the presentation of the gospel and relevant biblical teaching on a weekly basis. The CV20 prayer ministry continued, engaging a team of christians and christian leaders from inside and outside Love Life Church. The aim is to foster prayer and spiritual hunger in the church as well as building christian unity across denominations. |

Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The church meets in a chapel building in Barnsley, that was home to the great missionary pioneer, Hudson Taylor, who had great impact in China. This is a point of historical interest and makes the church a focus for people interested in Christian history. The church does not believe that Christianity belongs in a museum, however and in everything they have done this year, they have worked to bring the gospel to life and to make it relevant to the lives of the congregation in Barnsley. All the effort put into the local services has served to make Christianity relevant and accessible to the church community and the wider community in Barnsley. |
