Performance & Public Benefit
Each week we meet to praise and worship our God together and pray with one another. In this way we support and encourage each other to grow in our own personal faith and become more like Christ and share Communion together. We continue to support the Compassion Child Sponsorship Scheme and actively provide practical financial support to the South Belfast Foodbank
The church has given careful consideration to the Charity Commision for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve the church's objectives and activities as well as providing public benefit.
