Revlew of
ro
ress and achievements
l am delighted to report and reflect on the achievements and activitie5 of 2024. It's been a momentous year,
during which we have seen our Church grow and develop at every level. In March, we had three days of
wonderful teaching with Jonathan Conrathe and the team from Mission 24. At the heart of the Powerhouse Vision
is Empowering People to fulfil thelr destiny in Jesus. As part of this, we held an Alpha course which encouraged
those who attend to discuss and explore the big issues of life and unpack the basics of the Christian faith. An
outcome of both of these is, we have seen many people publicly declaring thelr faith in Jesus and being baptised.
