Funding
The church received its funding from the voluntary contributions of its members, who continue to faithfully support the ministry and activities of the church.
Achievements and Performance
The church meets every Sunday, with the first Sunday of each month being held in person at Little Ilford Baptist Church, Manor Park, East London. The remaining Sundays are conducted online via Zoom, enabling members from across the United Kingdom to participate despite work, travel and other commitments.
A one-day conference was held on 14 December in Milton Keynes and was well attended by members from Manchester and other parts of the UK. The guest speaker was a pastor from the Methodist Church.
We continue to support and work alongside our sister church, the United Baptist Church of Zimbabwe (UBCZ).
Attendance
Online services continue to be well attended, with members joining live or accessing the platform at convenient times. Attendance at the monthly in-person service in East London remains lower due to the distance many members are required to travel.
Future Activities and Plans
-
We plan to continue holding two conferences each year, with one taking the form of a retreat to allow members more time for fellowship.
-
We are planning to hold two joint services with the United Church of Christ – UK to strengthen fellowship and cooperation between the two churches.
-
We will continue working with and supporting our partner church, the United Baptist Church of Zimbabwe (UBCZ).
