## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**What the charity does:** we are running two churches by providing sunday services, fellowship and bible studies

**Objectives:** a) To serve individuals and families, both old and young, that are affiliated with our organisation by providing ministerial activities for the betterment of their physical, mental, and spiritual health. b) To provide assistance to people in communities where our organisation’s churches are present, providing material help to those in need, spiritual encouragement, and positive events and activities that support individuals and families. c) To establish churches and missions (see Clause 13) with a common system of government and theology that are able to be used as the means to achieve the aforementioned goals. d) This Organisation is the result of large numbers of Hong Kong people migrating to Scotland. The Charity Organisation’s primary focus is Cantonese speaking people. However, the organisation does not exclude people from joining who are not of Hong Kong descent. This organisation does not exclude people based on their language or ethnicity. e) This Organisation will be a governing body to form churches and missions (see Clauses 7 b., 10, 11 d., ) in different communities in Scotland to fulfill the goals of the organisation. Pastors, along with elected non-clergy persons will be members of the governing organisation, referred to as the CPC Council/Presbytery. f) The CPC Council/Presbytery will not prevent its local churches from establishing their own Charitable Organisation for their local church/congregation. If they determine it is needed and necessary each church may establish their own Charitable Organisation, which would be complementary to this Organisation. The CPC Council/Presbytery is a Charitable Organisation that will assist its affiliated congregations in the aforementioned goals.
