Public benefits
Colin Glen Christian fellowship benefits the public by advancing the Christian faith. Our adherents, and the general public benefit from the opportunity for public worship, Christian teaching, pastoral care and mutual opportunities for fellowship and social interaction. The regular teaching and worship ministries promote spiritual, moral,
intellectual and emotional development and well-being, and positive contribution towards society, for those who attend and for anyone else who wishes to benefit from what the fellowship provides. Outreach activities within the local community, and cross-community engagement with other churches, promote greater understanding of, and opportunity to participate in, Christian teaching and practice in our local context. The benefits can be evidenced through informal and ad-hoc feedback from our adherents, their families, and the wider public, as well as through content available on our website. The general public benefits from relief aid and support are improved social, emotional and physical health and well-being, especially of participants who have suffered food poverty, as well as increased capacity among volunteers, and a general sense of well-being for those among the general public who help their neighbour such as by donating towards the foodbank. The benefits can be demonstrated through the direct provision of food donated by the public to members of the public referred by professional and voluntary organisations, and through further referral or signposting to other support organisations that may help address other poverty related issues such as debt, low benefit uptake, etc. There is no harm associated with the purposes.

Colin Glen Christian Fellowship meets weekly for our main Sunday worship services, providing worship and teaching from God’s Word, as contained in the Bible, weekly Bible studies, which are open to the general public. Other weekly and ad-hoc events are held, often in homes within the local community, including pastoral support and visits. We
publish Crosstalk outreach literature as well as engage in other forms of personal and group outreach and evangelistic activities. We also participate in regular and occasional fellowship and dialogue with other churches, including cross-community. We run the South-West Belfast foodbank which gives food packages to clients identified as being in crisis need, from food donated by the general public at local supermarkets and other places. We facilitate the 'CAP Money' financial management training course. We also occasionally provide small financial aid to Christian charities working overseas.
