Public benefits
In the advancement of the Christian faith, the adoption of a moral framework which encourages people to be good citizens. The church meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its members and the general public by making known the Christian gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of the Christian faith. The
benefits arising from the purpose will be demonstrated through, the number of those attending activities and events and benefiting directly each week from the Bible teaching and the corporate worship, the leaders and helpers mobilised each week through various programmes and the positive contributions of members within the wider community; and, the effective pastoral care supporting both families and individuals. This will be evidenced through regular evaluation and informal feedback from church members and those attending events, their families and the general public within the community in which the Church operates. The trustees do not anticipate that any harm will flow from any of the above purposes. The church's beneficiaries are Church Members and adherents, and anyone who chooses to attend the church services which are open to members of the general public, other individuals that the church is in direct contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide which benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other secular organisations. The only private benefits flowing from our purposes are the provision of stipend for any pastor of the church who will also assume the role of trustee and paid employment for the personnel required to manage the work of the church. Such stipend, salaries and any incurred expenses are incidental and necessary to enable the Church to provide the pastoral and administrative support required to fulfil the stated purpose.
