Trustees Annual Report 2022
The purpose of the Lisburn Church of the Nazarene is to advance God’s Kingdom by the preservation and propagation of Christian Holiness as set forth in the Bible.
Lisburn Church of the Nazarene exists to serve as an instrument for advancing the Kingdom of God through the preaching and teaching of the Gospel where God has placed us in Lisburn and the surrounding community.
The Trustees of the Church continually strive to maintain the Church building and the Manse properties to a high standard through regular inspections of the buildings by ourselves and third party inspectors when required.
During the year an inspection was carried out on the Church Property by the Fire Protection engineers to ensure compliance with Fire Safety regulations.
The direct benefits which flow from our organisational purposes are:-
-
Access to weekly services and other gatherings of worship and prayer for members and non-members and friends to promote family and wellbeing and increased ability to contribute positively to society.
-
Access to support and guidance of its members that seek to promote an understanding of the Christian beliefs as set out in the Churches Articles of faith, enables those members to be better able to serve the local community.
In addition to the Sunday morning service we consistently held Wednesday evening prayer meetings and monthly missionary meetings. The Kids club and the NYI (Youth Ministry) meet on a regular basis on a Friday evening during the months September – March.
- The promotion of religious activity, health, well-being, spiritual life, education, relief of poverty, training and equipping, work of youth, younger children and the elderly, homeless and other local and national charties.
We regularly visit the members and friends of our Church, whether at home, in nursing holmes or hospitals ensuring them of our Pastoral care, prayers and ensuring they can participate in fellowship.
- The development of relationships with other Churches in the local areas well as nationally and overseas which are mutually beneficial in advancing our aims.
We invited and included other denominations to join with us as we reach into our community to share ‘special services at Easter, Harvest and Christmas. As a Church we look forward to building on the existing and introducing new ministries during the next year.
