Section C & D Objectives, Activities & Achievements
TO ADVANCE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOCTRINES CONTAINED IN THE SCHEDULE AND IN PARTICULAR BY THE FOLLOWING MEANS: 1. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP MEETINGS. 2 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TEACHING CLASSES AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF TRAINING MATERIAL. 3 THE SUPPORT OF INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES AND MISSIONS. 4 THE PROMOTION OF CHRISTIAN EVANGELISTIC OUT REACH CAMPAIGNS. 5 THE PRODUCTION OF CHRISTIAN MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC WORKS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND DRAMATIC MATERIAL.
Main Activities and Achievements
Following Government Guidelines, the church building has not always been open during the last year due to the Covid 19 pandemic. So, this has been a very different year bringing new challenges. At times services were run online and after service coffee, tea and a chat was moved to zoom. When the building was open, numbers were limited and so 2 services were run. Physical attendance was lower, with a lot of the congregation choosing to watch or listen to the online service.
Prayer meetings and life groups were run on zoom. Also, a few social chat groups were run during the week on zoom to try and keep people connected in the safest way possible. Other groups, such as coffee morning, toddlers and knit and natter, were, unfortunately, cancelled for the time being. As were community events that would normally be run throughout the year. The charity continued to focus on its main aims and objectives taking into consideration the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees continued to talk regularly over zoom and the phone to ensure the smooth running of the charity.
Financial contributions were down slightly but with out goings reduced too this didn’t prove to be a concern. The trustees regularly reviewed the finances to ensure good management of this aspect of the charity.

The majority of general running costs of the fellowship, in support of the charities aims and objectives, continued to be supported from the giving of members. At the close of the year the retained funds of the charity stood at approximately £28.8k (2020 £22.9k).
