City Worship Global - 1196423 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT – 30 NOVEMBER 2023

INTRODUCTION

City Worship Global was registered as a charity in September 2021; it has a four-member board of trustees. This report is an overview of our aims, activities and vision as an organization. It also includes a summary of our achievements and successes as well as a financial overview.

AIMS

To advance the Christian religion in the UK and globally for the benefit of the public particularly but not exclusively through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration, worship events, producing and/or distributing literature on Christian related matters pertaining to spiritual and social life and to enlighten others about the Christian faith.

Actvites

The church is committed to fostering spiritual growth and community engagement through a variety of activities aimed at fulfilling its mission. These activities include weekly Bible studies, where members delve into scripture for deeper understanding, along with sessions dedicated to learning and reflecting on important biblical teachings. Fasting and prayer form a key aspect of our spiritual discipline, as well as evangelism efforts, where we actively share the message of the gospel. Our Sunday school program nurtures the faith of the younger generation, while our community initiatives ensure that we are connected with the local community and supporting well-being of those in need.

These activities are conducted through specialized departments and ministries, each dedicated to serving different aspects of church life. Additionally, we have a team that provide personal counselling services, coaching and advocacy support not only to church members but also to individuals in the wider community. Beyond our spiritual endeavours, we host various social activities that promote fellowship, bringing together members of the church and the local community for shared celebrations and meaningful connections

SUCCESSES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Over the past year, our church has achieved significant milestones that reflect our commitment to spiritual growth, community outreach, and holistic support for our members and the wider community. One of our most notable accomplishments has been the successful development and launch of a Biblical Foundations Course, aimed at deepening our members' understanding of scripture and strengthening their faith. Additionally, we organized a highly successful fundraiser for Hestia, a charity that supports women who have been victims of

domestic abuse, demonstrating our commitment to social justice and outreach beyond our congregation.

In response to the unique needs of our members, we established a men's group, which meets occasionally to create a space for dialogue and support. This group aims to challenge societal narratives around masculinity and foster emotional and spiritual growth. Similarly, we set up a women's group dedicated to empowering women and addressing the societal challenges they face. Both groups have become essential pillars of our church’s mission to provide meaningful support to all members.

Recognizing the importance of holistic wellbeing, we launched a wellbeing group focused on promoting physical health within the church and the broader community. This initiative complements our spiritual support and has received positive feedback from participants. As part of our outreach efforts, we also hosted music nights in public spaces, which served as a tool for evangelism. These events were incredibly well-received, selling out and drawing large crowds, allowing us to spread the gospel in a creative and engaging way.

To ensure effective leadership and foster stronger connections, we appointed community leaders to serve as liaisons between the pastoral leadership team and church members. This initiative has greatly enhanced communication and support within the congregation. Additionally, we collaborated with other church communities to organize a sports day event, which promoted unity, love, and engagement among different congregations. This event was a resounding success, reinforcing the values of community and fellowship.

These achievements underscore our church’s dedication to spiritual development, social justice, and the overall wellbeing of our members and the wider community.

VISION

Over the next 10 years our primary focus remains on making a lasting and positive impact in the community. We are particularly committed to engaging with the youth, encouraging them to lead responsible lives and make wise decisions that not only benefit their own futures but also contribute to the well-being of the broader community. We also look to support homelessness initiatives in the West London region

The church is planning to organize a series of seminars and clinics designed to educate our members and the wider community on a range of important topics. These sessions will cover areas such as marriage and family life, financial literacy, health and wellness, mental health, career development and business development, among others. Our aim is to provide valuable, practical information that will empower individuals to navigate these aspects of life with confidence. Importantly, these seminars and clinics will be offered at no cost, ensuring that all participants can benefit without financial barriers or the need to seek resources elsewhere.

By creating these educational opportunities, the church seeks to serve as a hub for knowledge and support, helping our members and the community at large to grow in wisdom, make informed decisions, and improve their overall quality of life. These initiatives, alongside our ongoing efforts to reach out to the youth and acquire a place of worship, reflect our unwavering commitment to spiritual and personal development for all those we serve.
