Publlc Beneflt
The Trustees have referred to the statutory guidance produced by the Charity
Commission for Northern Ireland on public benefit when reviewing the Charitys
aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Our principal public benefit is the advancement of the Christian faith through a
personal belief in Jesus Christ.
Strategic Priorities for the year
At the start ofthe year 2022123 we were starting to corne of the restrirtions
brought by the Covid 19 pandemic. Sunday meetings at the church building
could tske place and the restriction reduced through the year. Many other
activities which had been paused were able to restart.
In order to provide our principal public benefit we set out below the strateglc
priorities agreed at the start of the year 2022123 and the extent to which they
were achieved:
Leadership & Discipleship
We plan that we will all have opportunity to gmw asfollowers ofJesus and in
leade￿hIP whatever our role. As part of that The Leadership Development Hub,
which CoMmen￿d in April 2022, will meet on o monthly bosis and mentoring will
be pmvided to those who want it. We will also meet in community gmups and other
5mallergatherings as we buildfamily and seek tofollowJesu&
The Leadership Development Hub met monthly over the year. A highlight was a
weekend in lune 2022, a time of real encouragement in the operation of the ￿ftS
of the Holy Spirit amongst Us. Mentoring was provided for those who requested
It, We had a number of outside speakers as well as internal.
The communlty groups contlnued to meet and a number ofother gatherings
comrnenced such as prayer triplets.
Pastoral Care & Mission
We willfurther develop pastoral carefor our members and beyond as we all play
ourpart. We will olso consider how we can serve ourlocol community in Bongor
andfurtherafield.
We continued to provide pastoral care for our members. We identified the need
to reach out to members who over Covid had not come to meetings. Many of
them recommenced meeting with us in person. Where this was not possible the
live-streaming of our Sunday morning meetings helped people to connect and
also drew along a number of visitors.
We continued to offer meals to families of new-born and those going through
particular hardships.

In June 2022 a number of us started to help with a weekly English Speaking
Conversation Class for refugees at a local hotel, We have developed good
friendships with our friends in the hotsl.
A new initiative "Create Space. was stsrted on Friday mornings. It is a space for
friendship, creativity and food. We have seen it grow significantly over the year.
The free and welcoming atmosphere has rnade it a place where people feel
accepted and friendships have developed.
Vision & Values
We will update and develop our vision and values as a people to reflert what we
believe God is calling us to be and to do. We will then work to ensure that the Vision
and Values arefully incorporuted into our life as a community.
We completed our revlew of our vision and values for the church. We have
preached on each element of our vision for the church. To help instill our values
in all we do we stsrted in January 2023 to set aside for each term-time a value to
base our Sunday morning tslk. We completed the Love value by Easter 2023 and
then moved to the Presence Value. We have also displayed our vision and values
in our building and on our website.
Building Project
We will decide where ourfuture home lies and put plans in place to
relocate/refurbish.
After prayer, speaking to a wide range of people in Kings and a search of suitsble
properties in the Bangor area we decided to remain in our current location at
196 Seacliff Road, Bangor. We started to put plans in place for the refurbishment
of the building.
Summary ofHowWe Provided A Publlc Beneflt
A summary of our activities and actions undertaken in the year to meet our aims
and objectives and to provide a public benefit is provided below, Further detail
can be found below under"Kings Church Main Activities" at pages 9 to 12.
The direct benefits which have flowed from our actions in the year included the
training and equipping of people in their Christian faith, the promotion of farnily
stsbility and the well-being for those attending. Through our activities people
have increased their ability to contribute positively to society and to address
poverty and those in need of care. We facilitated our mernbers to carry out acts
of social concern to benefit persons in North Down and the surrounding areas
facing hardship on the basis of their need and thereby promoting the practice of
the Christian faith,
These benefits were evidenced through weekly meetings to present the
teachings of the bible and the provision of opportunities for Christian response

including but not limited to prayer and worship. The church provided teaching
and training opportunities, using the resources of church staff, volunteers and
also external courses and events, With the relaxing of Covid 19 restrictions our
groups were able start meeting again and were well attended: mothers and
toddlers group (Kids and Co), Men's Group, Womens Group, (Gather), childrens,
groups (Kings Kids Sunday) and youth group (Kings Youth Fellowship) and our
group for people with learning disabilities (the Friends Group) - we reached out
to those who had stop coming over Covid 19 and many returned. The ability to
be able to meet agaAn in-person help us to continue to promote the Christian
faith, friendship and care.
The church's beneficiaries include those who have attended and participated in
meetings and activities including children, youth, parents/carers with toddlers,
the elderly and people with learning disabilities. The charity also brought
benefits to the poor in the local community through supporting charitsble
organisations such as the Bangor Storehouse and our Community Fund as well as
raising funds for people in poverty abroad. We continued our nursing home
visits to Kingsland Nursing Home. We also worked in the year with other
churches in the North Down area to promote joint events for the public.
We continued to support our missionaries abroad who work to promote the
Christian Faith alongside local churches and NGOS.
It should be noted that the above is not a complete list of activities. However they
do demonstrate Kings Church is continuing to fulfill its obligations and achieve
its objectives.

Kings Church Main Activities
Adult Ministries:
Over the year, Kings Church seeks to develop our Adult Ministries to best serve
those currently in the church as well as bless and love those in our communities.
The benefit from these actions enables members of Kings & those who also get
involved to lead a more ￿lfilled and purposeful life.
Sunday Services:
Morning:
The main weekly gathering at Kings Church happens at 10.302m on Sunday
morning in our church building. This includes a time to connect with one
another, a time of sung worship, a preach from the Bible as well as times to pray
for things happening in our lives and further afield across the world.
Across the year we had many new people joining our community. We held 2
Newcomers Lunches which saw over 20 people join Kings Church. Attendance to
our Sunday morning services slowly increased throughout the year with around
a 10-15% increase from the year before, We continued to live-stream these
services to care for those who felt vulnerable in public but still wanted to be part
of our church community.
This year we were able to incorporate 'Prayer Ministy again at the end of our
Sunday morning gatherings. Our team underwent safeguarding and prayer
ministy training in September, and we then spent time praying for people
towards the end of the service.
Evening:
The monthly Sunday Evening'presence" Gathering continued on the 3rd Sunday
of each month, Being held at 7.30pm meant that usually this was just adults that
attended. The service is more relaxed and less structured, centring around an
extended time of sung worship as well as responding creatively to the theme that
month. On average 40 adults attended each month.
Community Groups:
Community Groups are groups of 6-19 people who meet weekly to eat together,
study the Bible or reflect on the previous Sunday's sermon, share needs with one
another and pray for each other. They also spend time praying for wider needs in
the church and for our Global Missionaries. Across the year there were 8 groups
that met regularly across the week in different localities. Around 60% of the
adults in Kings were part of a Community Group.
Gather & Men's Ministries:
Gather runs events for women of all ages and stages of life to come together to
build relationships and encourage one another through fun activities. These
events are for all Female members of Kings as well as any female who wants to
attend, Across the year there were multiple events which were well attended:
these included a Christmas Craft Workshop, Clothes Swap, and an Afternoon Tea
event. These events seek to introduce those in our personal spheres to members
in the church to build connections in our locality.

Our Men's Ministry had a Saturday morning Breakfast as well as several of the
Men attending a conference, "Rumble" in September. We also ran "Walking
Football" for several weeks during the year as a way of socialising and exercising
for those who wanted a more accessible way into football.
Global Mission:
Kings Church currently supports 7 families involved in Global Mission and has I
other associated with the church. These families are involved in Japan, Kurdistsn,
Moldova, North Africa, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and the United Kingdom
They are involved in ministries including church plantin& church pastoral work,
developmen¢ evangelism, fundraisin& medical worl outdoor pursuits, teachin&
and working with refugees and asylum seekers.
Over the past year Asylum seekers have been housed locally and 2 small group
has reached out to them. This involves social events and weekly conversation
classes with them to help improve their English.
We have a Global prayer meeting, once month and produce a prayer leaflet every
month to help u5 pray effectively. We are still meeting on Zoom so that some of
our missionaries can still attend. About 12 people attend each month.
Two ofour missionary couples, working in Kurdistsn and Japan were back with
us over the year and we had meetings in the church to promote their work.
We started to pray for a new initiative called Thirty
We had several °mlssion focus" Sundays throughout the year. At one of these
services, we had a visiting speaker, from a Missions Conference in the town that
ha5 been running for over 80 years and that some of our members attend.
We also provide financial support to our mission families,
Storehouse,.
Storehouse North Down is a project bringing together different agencies to fight
food poverty throughout the North Down arca and beyond. There is a shopping
trolley positioned in the church huilding and members of the congregation are
invited to regularly donate suitable food products that are then collected and
tsken to the Storehouse premises for distribution. This is done on a regular basis
with extra times taken throughout the year to do bigger collections.
Friends Group:
ThRS is our group for adults with learning disabilities, their carers and friends.
The group provides opportunity for friendship, fun and learning to follow jesus
together. It meets fortnightly and has 25 regular attendees including 8
volunteers and support staff. The group has been able to meet regularly in Kings
on a Wednesday night whilst also doing events outside of Kings. For all who
attend, this is a valued place of connection and a place to belon& whilst for some
it would be their "church service" as other services at Kings and other churches
aren't accessible for them.
10

Marriage Preparation:
For those engaged to be married, Kings Church offers marriage preparation,
which is an informal course run by members of the Leadership Team. The
purpose is to help couples build strong foundations for their future together. One
couple went through Marriage Preparation and were also married by one of the
Pastors in Kings.
Create Space:
On a Friday morning Create Space is a place for people to come and enjoy some
time together. IVS a space for friendships to be built but also a place for creativity
to happen. Individuals from both Kings, and the local community, bring sewin&
artwork, or projects to work on, As well as this there are refreshments and
games for people to play. Create Space ha5 also been a place that local Asylum
Seekers have felt very welcorne to- a place to meet others, feel valued, learn new
skills, and practlce thelr English.
Leadership Hub:
In March 22 we started a Leadership Development Hub for those in the church
who wanted to grow in their leadership, no matter what sphere that was.
Embarking on a year course, 45 people signed up to meet monthly and embark
on a journey of growing in their leadership.
Stories Course;
In the first few months of 2023 we partnered wlth the charlty, Crown Jesus, who
came and ran a course focused on Evangelism and Mission. It was attended by
between 30-50 adults each week that the course ran.
Wider Events:
Across the Year, Klngs ran multiple events that served and blessed members of
Kings as well as the wider community. We had our Handmade Christmas Market
which supported local small businesses who came to sell their products to over
700 people who came through the doors. The majority ofthose not linked to
Kings, they were invited to following Christmas events. As well as our regular
NativÉty & Carol service. we also held a Christmas Musical: "Nine Songs for the
Nativity,. A choir practised for several weeks and with individuals in the choir
enjoying it so much, we are going to start a community choir next year.
We had other community events like our Light Paty for"All Saints Da￿. Over
300 people attended an evening of fun & games as well as hearing about the
"Light of the World." Our Family Fun Day in the summer at Kingsland Park and
our Easter Eggstravaganza at Crawfordsburn Park were brilliant for those in
Kings and others invited.
Youth Ministries:
Kings Church has a passion to serve Youth in our church and in the local
community. Following hiring a new Youth Worker in March 2022 we were able
to focus on the dozen or so youth that were in our Church community.
11

Kings Youth Fellowship:
K.Y.F. is a space for young people of Year 8 and above to explore their own
Christian faith. This usually takes place on Sunday Evenings weekly during term
times. The group involves lots of fun games. activities, and discussions about God
and the Christian faith, There is a small youth team who oversee the group of
around 6-12.
Kings Youth Sundays:
Our Kings Youth began to meet again on Sundays. Initially once a month and then
increased to twice a month, they gathered in one of our upstairs rooms at the
same time as the Morning service and had breakfast together whilst discussing
topics that arose or that were being discussed by the church that day.
Children's Ministries:
Kings Kids Sundays:
On Sunday Mornkngs our children's ministry continued to grow and flourish, We
had 4 groups that were specifically catered towards different age groups as well
as a space for Parents/Carers to go with their children, In these groups the
children were taught about God, faith. and church in fun, caring and interactive
ways.
The average number of children attending Kings Kids Sunday's increased by 150/0
which required extra volunteers to ensure they were safe and also invested in.
We had a number of new babies this year whilst also dedicated 10 children that
had been born in the past few years.
Kids & Co:
Kids and Co is a Parent and Toddler group that runs every Tuesday morning,
They welcome parents, grandparents, child-minders and carers with babies and
toddlers of pre-nursery age. Usually, on average, 40 children and 30 adults
attend each week. The majority ofthese children and adults. are members of the
community who wouldn't attend Kings Church regularly.
Kids and Co has been running for over 15 years with a team of volunteers who
run the programme, by setting up a hall with toys, providing craft, a sing a long
and refreshments.
Junior Youth Fellowship:
At the start of 2023 we started a Junior Youth Fellowship O,Y.F) which happened
monthly on a Sunday evening before KYF. This was for older primary school
children to come and learn more about God, meet their friends and have lots of
fun. This was attended by 6 children each month.
Holiday Bible Club:
In Summer 22 we had a Holiday Bible Club which saw 43 children come for a
couple of hours in the morning or evening for fun activities, dramas, games &
stories. The majority of these individuals came from Outside of Kings Church.

Flnandal Revlew
Income for the year totalled £181.6k (2022: £198.Ik) and expenditure totalled
£167.7k (2022: £145.Ik) leaving a surplus for the year of £13.9k (2022 surplus
£53.Ok). The main movements between the two years are largely as a result of
the following:
In 2022 there was the one-off sale of premises at Balloo Park which gave
rise to a profit of £37,2k in that year
Donations for Ministry & missions, public offerings increased in the year
by £5.8kto £115.7k
Donations to the building fund Increased by E7.5k to £22.7k
Income from other trading activities - rental of the building increased
from £3.Ok to £6.2k This was a result of the lifting of Covid restrictions
which enabled us to make the building available for hire
Salary costs increased by £20.3k to £66.2k. This was largely due tr) Sam
Deakin, our part-time assistant pastor, moving to a full-time position from
August 2022 and Rae O'Dowd, our part-time Youth Worker, worked the
full year (2022: one month's employment beginning March 2022).
Interest on loan (raised for original purchase of premises at Balloo) was
nil in 2023 (2022: £11.9k) as the loan was paid off on sale of the site in
March 2022.
Building costs totalled £19,4k in the current year (£nil previous year).
This was in relation to legacy work for planning applications for our
premises at Seacliff Road.

Cash reserves at 31 March 2023 totsled £335.5k (2022: £340.Ok). Whilst the
church is seeking to upgrade its premises the trustees, reserve policy is to

whatever our role. We will review and relaunch our cornrnunity groups to ensure
that they provide a place of family and discipleship.

our part. We will also consider how we can serve our local community in Bangor
and further afield.
We will continue our work in the local hotel with asylum seekers seeking to help
them with their English and build friendships.
Vision & Values
We will continue to instill our vision and values (Family. Presence, Truth and
Love) in all we do as we seek to reflect what we believe God is calling us to be
and to do.
Building Project
We will develop the design of the refurbished building at 196 Seacliff Road with
the vlsion of it being used as both a home for Kings Church and also as a
presence Trn the local community. We will also need to raise funds for the project
from both our own members, the bank and trust funds. We plan to be￿n work on
the ground in the later part of the year.
