Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
Victory Hill Church received charitable status on 15 February 2021. Since then the charity has grown in number to a core meeting of 45-50 people per week and we are seeing more families coming in. We have continued to see new leaders trained as well as new Christians discipled and equipped in their faith. We have also put on larger events where non-Christians and family/friends have been able to come along and celebrate our faith with us. We have seen an increase in our financial giving and an increase in the number of people who are aligned with our vision and values. We have seen our student engagement increase this year which is helping us to connect with universities as well as student organisations. We continue to connect with our wider Regions Beyond movement within the UK and nations as we continue to establish ourselves in Edinburgh. We are building relationships with other churches in Edinburgh, Fife and the Lothians and continuing to connect with the charity sector within these locations. |
