These services provide a time for fellowship and an opportunity to advance Christian beliefs with the public. As an inclusive Church, holding free social events have enabled us to educate and advance our religious beliefs by engaging with the wider local community.

In addition to worship services, the Church also holds a wide range of activities to advance our religious beliefs. Activities are open to all and allow us to share our religious beliefs within the local community. They include:

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Kingdom Life International Church Preston first began as a small gathering of faithful Christians who were meeting weekly online to pray and study God’s Word together. As the meetings began to flourish and grow, we felt that it was time to go public and commence congregational Sunday worship services. This is our first year as a charity and we have seen weekly attendance and membership steadily grow due to interest from local people. We acquired a small space on the first floor of a building located on North Road, Preston but as the numbers began to increase, there was a need to move into a bigger space. The Church was able to secure larger premises at Enterprise House, Salter Street, Preston in January 2023. This has been a major achievement for the Church and allows us to accommodate an ever-increasing number of members and attendees. There has been a gradual increase in donations, tithes and offerings throughout the year.

Having a range of religious activities has enabled us to share our religious practice with members and non-members within the local community. Attendees of our events have stated that the friendly environment allows them to develop their understanding of religion and the spiritual benefit that can be achieved through religious belief.

Community choir sessions have been well attended and provide an opportunity for attendees to learn and/or improve their singing skills alongside others in the local community. All aspects of Church life aim to promote opportunities to put faith into action by service to the Church and the local community.
