## **RCCG Manifest Church Parish Vision and Strategic Alignment**
RCCG Manifest Church is a Christ-centred, Spirit-led church passionate about seeing lives transformed through the power and presence of God. According to the church’s own statements, the parish exists to serve both its local community in Timperley and the wider area, embracing excellence in worship, discipleship, and active engagement with people of all ages and backgrounds.
The parish’s stated vision can be understood as being a church that partakes in God’s presence, produces spiritual fruit, and provides for the needs of its community. This holistic approach embraces both spiritual transformation and practical care, reflected in ministries for children (such as AWANA Kids), regular prayer meetings and connect groups, and invitations for people to partner with the church in tangible ways.
Manifest Church intentionally reviews its focus and activities to ensure they remain fit for
purpose and capable of advancing its mission. Through weekly worship services, prayer initiatives, children and youth programmes, and community engagement, the parish seeks to embody its vision in measurable, lived outcomes.
As part of this ongoing review, at the end of this year the following strategies were outlined and revalidated for the upcoming year, ensuring that the church’s objectives continue to align with its vision of transformation and provision:
- Strengthening corporate worship and Spirit-led gatherings that help people encounter God’s presence.
- Enhancing discipleship and community groups that nurture growth and personal transformation.
- Expanding programmes for children, youth, and families to support holistic development.
- Encouraging active participation in prayer and outreach to meet both spiritual and physical needs.
- Inviting the wider community to connect through events, services, and projects that reflect God’s love and excellence.
These strategies are designed to ensure that Manifest Church remains a dynamic and responsive expression of Christ’s love, both in spiritual formation and in the practical provision of support and care.
RCCG Manifest Church Parish’s vision is to fully become _**A Church to Partake, Produce and Provide**_ for her community. The provision is comprehensive both in physical and spiritual needs of our community. The parish regularly reviews these objectives and measuring to ensure strategies continue to be ‘fit for purpose’ and capable to fulfilling the mission. At end of this year the below strategies were outlined and revalidated for upcoming year.
- 1) Holding regular Church meetings & fellowship and spiritual upliftment of members and the community. The Church will continue to hold meetings to grow the faith of members pray together and dig deep into the word of God.
We believe that a Christian without condemnation of heart has a right to thank God in adoration and in prayer always. The project was the birthed (which is still on-going) tagged ‘’ Operation pray for your Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts’’.
Manifest Church is committed to praying for the community, leaders and the nation as a whole.
- 2) Visitation (Follow Up) and Welfare Groups have been re-planned for effective visitation to members and members of the community who are in need. There will be more visitations done to the Homeless, Hospitals and people in needs generally.
- 3) Community outreach and events held to impact lives and promoting integration. These programmes were open to everyone and independent on social class or standing.
- 4) Life impacting event events which focus on meeting the immediate needs of individual and working with other charities to meet the needs of our community.
## **Development, activities and achievements of the year:**
- 1) Key mandate of RCCG is to make heaven and taking as many people as possible along. So the advancement of Christian faith and evangelism initiatives continued to be our frontline agenda. To achieve this Church held different meetings and fellowship organised to dig into the words of God and creating opportunity to grow in Christ and manifest Christlike characters.
Some of these key programmes included the weekly Sunday service, Sunday School Classes, Bible Study, Believers Class and Prayer meetings. These Church meetings aimed at developing the Biblical understanding of members and fellow Christians.
Special monthly morning prayers known as ‘Alpha’ prayer and Wednesday Connect Group bible study. Manifest Church saw a significant growth in spiritual lives of members and volunteers compared to previous year; and there is expectation the upliftment will give way to increase in membership and the overall growth of the Church.
The Church continued to find more ways to transform people’s lives through prayers and meeting their spiritual needs. The move started to achieve more through community interaction as a new face of modern Church community. All these attributed to God ordained leadership, vision, prayers and persistence.
- 2) Good achievement was recorded in the year 2021/22 particularly around community activities. The Church took advantage of the summer period to organise different community outdoor events in July, August and September to promote friendship and interaction within the community. A major one was the ‘Family funday organised at the Broomwood community centre. This event was well attended by the local community and boosted the acceptance of the church. Manifest Church now seats at the Broomwood Community Partnership board and has been invited the join the Altrincham day.
We also used the opportunity to interacting with invitees and sometimes sharing the word of God. The Church has received feedback for participants on the benefits of having this opportunity to interact with families especially for young people in the community.
- 3) Youth and Children – Manifest Church is generally known for excellent youth and children. Our children work caters for age 3-12 years old and youths are from age 1319 years old. Activities throughout the year includes, Youth camp, summer musical training, youth and children clubs (Sundays), Youth outings etc.
- 4) The Women group are a formidable group whose events and programs positively impacts the lives of women and family as a whole. Activities ranges from Women conference, praying together every Thursday, Empowerment programs and social activities like BBQ, women
7
- 5) Other events like Couples event, Family (Health) week, Financial talks etc serves the purpose to empower families, build community together and strengthen spiritual capacity towards attaining God’s divine purpose for individual.
