Public benefits
The direct benefits which flow from our purposes to our beneficiaries: We recognise there are public as well as personal benefits associated with religious practice and that the fostering of spirituality through Christianity itself provides an inherent benefit to society (through for example the potential for general moral improvement in society).
The public benefits from an increased awareness and understanding of religious beliefs and practices, missionary and outreach work, religious communication and ecumenical and interfaith activity. Those who attend our activities derive benefit from the public worship and teaching provided – being encouraged in their spiritual development. The community at large benefits through the behaviour of those in attendance – as they live a lifestyle in line with the teachings of the Christian faith. The hundreds of volunteers involved (made up of people from the local community) will benefit through their active participation in a wide range of roles – they are able to connect in community with other like-minded people and share a sense of having helped others. Harm/Unintended beneficiaries: We would highlight that access to all our activities are free of charge and open to everyone. We have assessed our purposes and our activities and believe there is no harm arising from them. We employ staff as a necessary function of satisfying our purposes/carrying out our activities and apart from these employees there are no other unintended beneficiaries. Evidence of direct benefits: We seek to ensure our activities are making a difference by asking for regular feedback from participants. We utilise a range of different methods – starting with verbal conversations and anecdotal observation (of the change in people’s lives) running right through to more formalised written evaluation forms. We monitor and record a significant quantity of statistics relating to (for example) the number of people who attend our primary activities.

Our journey at Causeway Coast Vineyard began in May 1999 with a group of six people who tenaciously guarded the dream that it is possible to live differently in order to make a difference. To this day, we continue to be a community who carry hope and are passionately pursuing God’s heart for His city through our ordinary everyday lives. We are a
church where lives are changing. A place where people are saying ‘yes’ to God and experiencing life in a fresh way. We are a people who bring life to every area in our community. A place where we see transformation happen as we pursue the dreams that God has placed in our hearts. Our Sunday services seek to bring people together for corporate worship and teaching. This includes providing safe and welcoming environments for children, young people and adults. On Sunday we host environments for all children and young people from aged 1-18. We believe we were made to connect in community. With that in mind we host small groups for children and adults; these run in three semesters over the course of the year and include various formats including general home based groups, interest and life-stage groups. Our Kids and Youth ministries also host multiple weekly events where children and young people are made welcome. As part of our vision we want to see everyone, everyday, everywhere; bringing hope, healing and honour to every hurting heart. To that end we also host conferences and leadership events with the aim of encouraging others from all over the UK and further afield to live lives that change their community for the better.
