The church's beneficiaries are the general public and anyone we come into contact with through outreach into the community. We do not believe this purpose causes any harm. A private benefit flowing from this purpose is the part-time monthly salary to the church's Pastor. This is incidental as it is necessary to ensure the church has leadership, guidance and teaching in order to continue to benefit the beneficiaries. Also expenses may be given to those who would visit the sick/vulnerable. 2.

These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from those who attend the church, the general public and organisations who have received help from our purpose. The church's beneficiaries are the general public and anyone we come into contact with through outreach into the community. We do not believe this purpose causes any harm and can see no obvious private benefit flowing from this purpose. 3.

The direct benefits from this purpose include the promotion of increasing the individual and collective, knowledge of the Christian faith through the consistent study of the bible and the practical application of this knowledge in day to day life in a safe environment. This is demonstrated when the lives of those who receive teaching put this into practise in their everyday living and their lives are changed as a result. This change is evident and examples from beneficiaries are obtained regularly and available.
