BOARD OF TRUSTEES

During the year under review, the trustees who served during the year under review are:

OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK

Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of God For All Nations Stirling, SC045927 is a member of “The Redeemed Christian Church of God” which has Parishes all over the world. We are registered with the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator and we are governed by the Charities Act 1993. We have laid out our objectives under these six themes:

 Our goal is to teach the gospel in a practical way.

 As a ministry, we also focus on the practicalities of the Christian life through our different community work, and world mission that we are involved in; to practise love, and to empower people with the knowledge of God and what they can achieve through Him.

 To organise children and youth activities, to promote unity in the course of developing deeper spiritual growth.

 To encourage a prayerful life and consistency in the devotional life and spiritual growth of our members.

 To work in cooperation with other Christian organisations and support events to achieve Christian aims and objectives.

 We are also passionate about expansion through church planting

DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENT THIS YEAR

During the year, the Charity continued to engage in activities that have positive impact on the community. Some of these are outlined below:

The charity as usual continued to ensure that its objectives were met. We continued to pursue the objectives of furthering the Christian faith and alleviating the sufferings of the people generally

irrespective of their race, background, sex or faith. During the month of December, we had a Christmas carol for the community; we ministered in songs and also gave out Christmas gifts to Children and other less privileged in the community and also a visit to elderly Hospice. We still hold regular Sundays and Wednesdays Meetings to encourage our members on how to be useful to community they live. We also continued to share the Christian faith and help people develop biblical principles that build up their self-esteem and help them to stay out of criminality and other social vices. This enables them to fulfil their purpose in life and live a happy productive life.

Our Youth held Pre-Marital Counselling Programme on Valentine Day with a Barbeque in the church premises. The purpose is to enhance and equip them for the task and challenges ahead – relationship. Our Children Department also organised Children Day Celebration in November 2017 for the members and Community Children. School Uniform and some gifts were given to some less privileged and struggling parents in our midst

In consonance with our culture, we provided support to some of the needy in our midst within the limits of available resources. We continued to maintain our partnership with some churches in Edinburgh during the year and we held a few joint fellowship meetings together. More churches are now joining the network.

The Board of Trustees considers that the performance of the Parish has been satisfactory both in terms of advancement of the Christian faith and in generating needed resources.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

We will continue to pursue our core objectives together with our involvement with the community vigorously. We are already exploring avenues of collaboration with relevant agencies to provide training for our members in areas where we need to raise our skills. Until the weak economy begins to respond positively in a tangible way to the measures put in place by Government we will continue to organise more seminars and workshops on poverty alleviation, waste elimination, budgeting, cost control and other survival strategies. Capacity building through in-house training of our workers will continue and we will always take advantage of any initiatives from Christ the Redeemer College which is the arm of the mission responsible for training pastors and other ministry workers.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE YEAR

The statement of the financial activities shows income of £115,408 and total expenditure of £84,424.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Trustees constantly reviews the major risks, which the charity faces on regular basis. The Board of Trustees has examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirms that adequate systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

VOLUNTEERS/WORKERS

The church workers are mainly volunteers who offer their services free on part time basis and mostly in the evenings as well as during the weekends. These workers are the ones in charge of the various departments and ministries that are functioning within the church. Many more volunteers are still giving up their time to help at the church on ad-hoc basis. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.

Independent Examlners Report Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ctty of God For All Nations Stirling. SC045927 I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 st Mar 2025 which are set out on the pages attached. Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examlner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10{1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: . to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wtth Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Date: 24 December 2025
