Objectives and activities
Publlc Beneflt
The principal public benefit is the advancement of the Christian faith through a personal belief in Jesus Christ.
The church promotes the application of Biblical teaching for life. It trains, equips and supports people in their
Christs'an faith with the benefits flowing from the promotion of family stability and the well-being for those attending.
The public are welcome to attend our meetings which are free of charge and open to all. Through its activities and
the support given by the church, people have increased opportunity to contribute positively to society and to
address povety and help those in need of care at home and elsewhere. We facilitate those who attend to carry
out acts of social concern to benefit persons in the Causeway and surrounding areas facing hardship on the basis
of their need and thereby promote the Practi￿ of the Christian faith. The benefits are 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 and the building up of fellowship. There are groups for children of all ages
up to school leavers. In the various meetings we promote the Christian faith, friendship and care. The church
facilitstes and encourages contact and activities with other churches in the Ballymoney area. The church's
beneficiaries are those who attend and participate in meetings and activities including children, youth,
parentslcarers with toddlers and also members of the general public in the local community and further afield to
whom the church members reach out. Many people testify to the beneficial effects resulting from attending the
meetings and participating in the activities. The charity also brings benefits to the poor in the local community and
abroad through financial and other support of people, and appropriate charitable organisations and individuals
carrying out charitable Christian work helping people in need by reason of poverty or sickness and people in need
of educational help. Any private benefit flowing from the purpose of the church is incidental. No harm arises from
these purposes.
