Our aims and objectives

Purposes and aims

The objects of the charity:

To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of faith in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees from time to time may 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 charitable work of the church.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help.

The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

The focus of our work

Our main objectives for the year continued to be the advancement of the Christian religion and to strive to improve the living condition of the needy. The strategies we applied to meet these objectives included:

Provision of weekly church services on Fridays and Sundays to minister to the physical, spiritual, emotional and material needs of the congregation and the community.
Provision of special events and meetings to meet the specific needs of target groups in the church such as men, women, youth and children.
Focusing on the material needs of certain members undergoing difficult financial situations.
Working with other Christian agencies and churches in London to advance the preaching of the gospel
Provision of pastoral care for the members and other members of the community

How our activities deliver public benefit

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus

on the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness.

Ministering every week to the spiritual needs of the people through bible study, prayer meetings, counselling sessions and healing meetings.
Our focus as a ministry and church is the outreach for souls.

Who used and benefited from our services?

Our church services are presented with both the regular congregants and the visitors or seekers in mind. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the members in our services giving specific consideration to the seekers or newcomers in our midst who may not necessarily have a church background and as such may not understand the processes and procedures of Christianity.

We have also helped relieve poverty and hardship amongst both regular and irregular congregants who are suffering from a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources.

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services and through bank standing orders.
