APPENDIX 1

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

During the financial period, Kings Church West Lothian continued to grow

in serving both the congregation and the wider community. With a diverse group of around 85 attendees spanning various age groups, the church continued to host a range of activities, including Sunday gatherings, midweek home groups, kids work, youth work, and leadership development. Sunday gatherings remained central, offering worship, biblical teaching, and fellowship over coffee. We also invested significant time in this period helping our members grow in dependence on God, and listening to the Holy Spirit, which is essential for our continued wellbeing. The church also continued to run special events, such as an Easter event which engaged the local community and shared the Easter story. Initiatives such as The Feast, a winter program offering a warm space and free meals, attracted many people weekly. Messy Church was less active than previously, as were our Bingo Nights for charity. We continued to partner with organisations like The BUSY Project to support those in need across the region. We have also invested time in beginning to explore a new community trust (SCIO) where the church and community seek an asset transfer for Uphall Community Centre, to further our mission to reach and serve those who do not yet know Jesus. Our weekend away, where the majority of our members enjoyed fellowship and teaching, was a signfiicant time in building community, growing in faith and serving one-another. This has been a fruitful year of growing in the love of God, serving the community, and moving forward together in faith and continuing our charitable purposes.
