## **Charitable purposes** 

The purpose of this church is to glorify God. It seeks to attain this aim through the public worship of God and the preaching of the Scriptures. This purpose is outworked through the organisation and support of programs which promote the presentation of the Christian gospel and Christian discipleship. The scope of this effort is local, national and global. 

## **Summary of activities** 

Sunday Morning Worship Service Sunday Evening Worship Service Weekly Bible study and prayer times Ladies’ Bible Studies Missionary meetings 

## **Public benefit reporting** 

We seek to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, as outlined in the scriptures, so that those in the local community will hear the Good News of Salvation. The benefit which flows from our purpose is that through attending Sunday Services and midweek Bible Study Meetings, the regular congregation along with visitors will get to know God in a deeper, fuller and personal way. 

In 2023 our year began with our usual schedule of open church meetings taking place as listed above. These activities provided public benefit within the local community and further afield. Beneficiaries include those who are in attendance at the regular meetings and to those for whom aid, and assistance is provided across the globe through our missionary support. 

ln addition, the church website was constantly updated over the past year. We expect this to be of ongoing benefit as we seek to glorify God in our community and nation. 

## **Future Plans.** 

It is the intention of the trustees to continue and develop the activities of the church to fulfil our charitable purpose.
