## TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
## **Pastoral Message**
Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters,
It is with gratitude and joy that I present the Trustees’ Annual Report for Celestial Church of Christ Destination of Peace Parish for the financial year 08 March 2024 – 29 January 2025.
This year has been one of spiritual growth, fellowship, and active service to our community. Through regular worship, evangelism, youth programmes, and charitable outreach, we have endeavored to uphold the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and extend His love beyond the walls of our church.
We rejoice in the milestones achieved: the conduct of 156 services, successful revivals, meaningful outreach programmes, and celebrations including our Church Anniversary, Christmas Party, and Children’s Harvest. Most importantly, we have seen lives touched and transformed through our ministry and support for the vulnerable in our community.
Our vision for the coming year remains steadfast: to grow in faith, expand our outreach, strengthen our youth and children’s ministry, and continue to provide spiritual and practical support to all who seek it. We are deeply grateful to our members, trustees, volunteers, and supporters whose dedication and prayers sustain this ministry.
May God continue to bless our parish, guide our trustees, and empower us to fulfil His purpose faithfully.
In Christ’s Service, AVSE Adewale Anjorin Pastor / Spiritual Leader
