Objectives and activities

The Board of Trustees is committed to enabling and encouraging as many people as possible to worship at our fellowship and to become knowledgeable in the teachings of the holy scriptures. This includes demonstrative instruction, aimed at encouraging the attendees to participate in worship and prayers, and group discussions on how to apply scriptural principles to everyday life.

The Board of Trustees is active in supporting the vision of Artos Zaho, the church, to evangelise locally, nationally and internationally. The Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the advancement of religion are considered and observed in our planning of activities and operational decision making. The main objective is to achieve growth in the faith and spiritual development of our members, in all aspects of Christian faith, values and aspirations, including worship, prayer, knowledge of scripture, evangelism, missions and church planting.

Achievements and performance

Worship & Prayer

The Board of Trustees arrange for a range of meetings to occur during each week of the year, for the benefit of the wider public, including Sunday worship, Bible studies, youth meeting and evening prayers. There is also a Praise and Worship rehearsal, to which all interested parties are invited. Many of our members have been trained in praying for the persecuted church worldwide and have shown personal growth in researching and imparting awareness to the Artos Zaho fellowship.

Pastoral Care

The pastors are in constant contact with the members, either by telephone technology, e-mail or home visits. Some members visit the pastors' homes for counselling and advice, as they require.

Missions, Evangelism and church-planting

The Board of Trustees, with the full support of pastors and members, made expenditures and donations to other worthy causes, including £143 to other charities.
