Aims and Objectives

The charity is established to provide an enabling environment for worshipping God, and to advance the Christian faith. This is achieved by evangelizing to the community, demonstrating the love of God, facilitating fellowship meetings and discipling congregants through the word of God.

The objectives are.

Activities

1. Regular outreach programs are organized to demonstrate God’s love to the members of the community.

2. Weekly bible studies and discussions.

3. Weekly prayer meeting, praying for the community, governments, and members.

MINISTRY PROGRESS REPORT

The following is an account of the activities, events, and general progress of the Kingdom Faith Ministries International. The ministry continues to establish and develop her objectives of preaching the Word of God, training and developing people to be impactful and relevant people in the society and equipping members with both spiritual and intellectual upliftment, which are at present the primary activities of the ministry.

MEMBERSHIP

The church membership has been growing at a decent rate. This is due to the ministry offered and its impact in the lives of parishioners and people in the community.

NURTURING THE CHURCH

The following meetings are held weekly, fortnightly, or monthly:

YOUTH & TEEENAGE MINISTRY

The Kingdom Faith Ministries International have an established ministry for teenagers between the ages of 1419 called “Young Royals” to guide them and help teenagers discover themselves in the faith and grow in the knowledge of God. The ministry also recently established a ministry for young adults between the age of 20-29. The purpose of this is to help young adults discover their God ordained purpose and become the best man or woman they can be, making positive impact in their world.

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

The children’s ministry (King’s Kids) continues to disciple children. Every Sunday there are 4 classes running for the age groups ‘0-2’, ‘3-5’, ‘6-9’ and ‘10-13’ where the children get the opportunity to learn bible teachings, good morals and values and have a wonderful experience with other children.

TRUSTEE MEETING

The Trustees hold meetings twice every year during which the progress of the ministry is discussed and plans to increase, train, and equip its members are explored. Also, initiatives on how to have a positive impact in the community are discussed in the meetings. Financial matters and asset acquisition are also discussed.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Charity currently facilitates it programs from a location secured via lease with a capacity to sit 300 people in Shenley Church End, Milton Keynes and runs its office activities from Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes.

CONCLUSION

The commitment of the members to the vision of Kingdom Faith Ministries International has allowed us to maintain a vibrant, multi-cultural and healthy environment for spiritual and natural growth. We are proud of this growth and will continuously work to meet the goals and objectivities of the ministry and the divine purpose God has for this church. We are grateful unto God for how far God has brought us.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY

The income of the charity for the year was £383,018 (£481,126 this figure includes building fund income). The cost of charitable activities was £282,766. This was spent directly and indirectly to support the charities activities. At the end of the year, 30 September 2023, there was an unrestricted fund balance amounting to £580,965 and restricted fund closing balance of £300,748.

The charity’s policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, to a level where they equate in value to approximately 12 months’ expenditure. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure before external funding has been fully secured. The charity is reviewing its reserves policy so that the charity will be able to continue its current level of activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the profit and loss of the CIO for that period. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to: -

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment Gains and Losses

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE PERIOD TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees' meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with Performance Conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.

Grants Payable

The Church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. They are accounted for in the year in which they become payable.

Support Costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capital, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity, these are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Investments

Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as required by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated to the relevant fund. Income derived from these funds is retained within the funds concerned.

Unrestricted Funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which the trustees have designated to be used for a specific purpose.

Pensions

The church operates a defined benefit scheme for the benefit of the church minister and administrator. The contributions made into the scheme are accounted for as they are paid.

Change of Accounting Policies and Rules and Methods of Valuation.

There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:
