JESUS THE CORNERSTONE CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JULY 2025
Fulfilling the Great Commission
Jesus The Cornerstone Church continues to stand as a vibrant full gospel church committed to honouring and glorifying God through the making of disciples across all nations. The church seeks to build a strong biblical foundation through worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, prayer, and compassionate outreach within the community.
The church remains dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging spiritual growth among believers through regular worship services, Bible studies, prayer meetings, leadership development, and fellowship activities.
Presently, our regular Sunday services welcome an average of 27 adults and 6 children and 6 youth attendees. Attendance may vary during special church events, anniversary celebrations, and outreach programmes where visitors and guests are warmly invited to participate.
Aim and Purpose
The church’s primary aim is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and to guide individuals into a growing relationship with God. The church seeks to encourage believers to worship the Lord faithfully, obey His commandments, and actively participate in ministry and Christian fellowship.
JTCC continues to promote discipleship, spiritual maturity, and evangelism by encouraging members to invite their family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours to church services and activities. The church also seeks to create a welcoming environment where individuals can experience fellowship, encouragement, and pastoral support.
Objectives and Activities
JTCC remains committed to expanding its outreach activities and encouraging more people to participate in Sunday worship services, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and fellowship gatherings.
The church continues to hold weekly Prayer Meetings and Bible Studies both in person and online to strengthen the spiritual lives of members and maintain fellowship within the congregation.
Throughout the year, the church organised and participated in various activities including anniversary celebrations, fellowship gatherings, outreach programmes, and inter-church events aimed at strengthening relationships and encouraging spiritual growth.
A significant highlight during the year was the celebration of the church’s 4th Anniversary. The church invited a Bishop from the Philippines to minister and share the Word of God with the congregation and visitors. Believers from other churches, members of the local community, friends, family members, and especially unbelievers were warmly invited to attend the event.
The church considers these gatherings an important part of its evangelism and charitable outreach mission by creating opportunities for individuals to hear biblical teaching, receive encouragement, and experience Christian fellowship in a welcoming environment.
JTCC also participated in an inter-church sportsfest during the year. This activity promoted unity, friendship, teamwork, and fellowship among churches and communities while providing another avenue for outreach and relationship-building, particularly among young people.
Achievement and Performance
During the financial year ending July 30, 2025, the church continued to fulfil its mission despite several challenges affecting attendance and financial giving.
Three of our youth members relocated to Leeds due to family and career commitments. In addition, two families with daughters attending Catholic schools were required to participate in Sunday services and religious activities organised by their schools as part of their preparation for Holy Communion. While these circumstances affected regular attendance, the church continues to support and encourage these families in their spiritual growth and fellowship.
Despite these challenges, the church remained active in ministry, worship, evangelism, and fellowship activities throughout the year. The Trustees remain encouraged by the commitment, faithfulness, and voluntary support shown by church members, leaders, and workers.
Pastoral Care
Our Pastors and church leaders remain committed to upholding the dignity, welfare, and spiritual well-being of every individual within the church community.
Pastoral care includes spiritual guidance, counselling, prayer support, visitation, encouragement, and emotional support for members and families facing challenges and personal difficulties.
The church seeks to provide a welcoming and caring environment where individuals feel valued, respected, supported, and encouraged in their spiritual journey regardless of age, nationality, background, or personal circumstances.
Mission
JTCC’s mission is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ locally and globally by evangelising the unreached, strengthening believers, and encouraging individuals to live victorious Christian lives through the Word of God.
The church fulfils this mission through worship services, Bible studies, prayer meetings, discipleship, family fellowship, community engagement, outreach activities, and special church events.
The church continues to encourage all members to actively participate in evangelism by inviting family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and members of the community to church services and activities.
Special church events, anniversary celebrations, fellowship gatherings, and outreach programmes are intentionally organised to provide opportunities for believers and unbelievers alike to hear the message of God and experience Christian fellowship.
Financial Review
July 31, 2024 – July 30, 2025
Overview
During the financial year ending July 30, 2025, the church continued to manage its finances responsibly while supporting ministry activities, outreach programmes, church events, fellowship gatherings, and operational needs.
Opening Financial Position
The church began the financial year with total funds of £15,775, consisting of:
£13,995 held in the church’s main bank account;
£1,000 maintained as petty cash float; and
- £780 recorded as cash on hand.
The £780 represented collections received at the end of the previous financial year which could not be deposited into the bank until August 1, 2024. As these funds were already legally owned by the church before year-end, they correctly formed part of the opening balance.
Income
Total receipts for the year amounted to £16,420, consisting primarily of tithes, offerings, donations, and voluntary support from church members and supporters.
Collections and donations during the year were lower compared to previous periods. This reduction was likely influenced by ongoing economic pressures and the rising cost of living, which affected the financial capacity of some members and resulted in reduced tithes and offerings during certain periods of the year.
Despite financial challenges, the church remained committed to supporting ministry activities, outreach programmes, anniversary events, and operational responsibilities.
Expenditure
Total payments for the year amounted to £20,255. Expenses included ministry operations, venuerelated costs, church supplies, fellowship activities, anniversary celebrations, outreach events, and other operational expenses necessary to support the church’s charitable and religious activities.
Net Movement
The church recorded a net deficit of £3,835 during the financial year as expenses exceeded income. The deficit was covered using accumulated reserves from previous years to ensure continuity of ministry activities and church operations.
Closing Financial Position
As of July 30, 2025, the church’s total remaining funds amounted to £11,941, consisting of:
£10,941 held in the church’s main bank account; and
£1,000 maintained as petty cash float.
The Trustees remain satisfied that the church continues to maintain responsible stewardship, accountability, and transparency in the management of church finances.
Volunteers
The Trustees would like to express sincere appreciation to all church leaders, workers, volunteers, and members who faithfully served and supported the ministry throughout the year.
Special thanks are extended to the Pastors, Trustees, ministry workers, musicians, youth leaders, kitchen volunteers, finance team, prayer intercessors, and all members who willingly gave their time, effort, prayers, and resources to support the church and its activities.
The church remains grateful for the sacrificial commitment and voluntary service demonstrated by everyone involved in the ministry.
Structure, Governance and Management
The activities of the church are overseen by the Pastors and Board of Trustees. The Trustees are responsible for making decisions concerning the general administration, ministry direction, governance, and financial management of the church.
The Trustees met regularly throughout the year either face-to-face or online to discuss church activities, ministry plans, financial matters, and operational responsibilities.
The church continues to operate through various ministries including worship, music, prayer intercession, evangelism, youth ministry, children’s ministry, finance, hospitality, and fellowship ministries, all of which contribute towards fulfilling the church’s vision and mission.
Administrative Information
The church continues to operate as a non-profit religious organisation under the governance of the Board of Trustees in accordance with its constitution and governing documents.
There have been no significant changes in the composition of the Board of Trustees during the reporting period. The church continues to hold regular Sunday worship services and ministry activities at its present location.
