|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|During the year the charity continued to grow its regular
programme of worship, discipleship and outreach. Sunday
services, weekly Bible studies (the ‘Spirit-Filled Living’
teaching series), and regular prayer meetings ran throughout
the year, supported by a staffed children’s area with DBS-
checked volunteers. The charity launched its New Believers
Programme and a six-week School of Ministry to train
members for ministry, and ran an assimilation course for new
members. Youth ministry activity began, including monthly
youth gatherings and a planned Easter presentation. Monthly
evangelism and outreach events focused on prisons, and
mental health, and members provided direct practical and
pastoral support to individuals in the community. The charity
held its second anniversary conference in March 2025, a
well-attended Christmas gathering in December 2024, and
quarterly fellowship events, and prepared for the launch of a
Women’s Ministry. The trustees consider that these activities
delivered public benefit consistent with the charity’s objects
by advancing the Christian faith and supporting the spiritual,
pastoral and practical needs of both the congregation and the
wider community.|
