Development, Activities and Achievements in the year
Through the structure already in place, we were able to provide services for the holistic development of the Church members as well as helping the Church to reach the Community. The Church was able to initiate a training programme to educate and train leaders and every family in discipleship for ministry which has been going on well. In addition to pulpit ministry, a strategy was designed to enhance individual spiritual growth by continuously providing all young people and adults with morning devotional books. Departmental and auxiliary ministries continued to be effective in their services. Many depressed people were ministered to in the Community and helped appropriately during the Community outreach activities in the year.

Future Development
The Church will continue to focus its activities to meet the objectives of the charity. To enhance this ambition, the search for a property (building) continues to be one of our top targets since we still do not have any worship place of our own.
