Public benefits
Ballyhalbert Gospel Hall seeks to benefit its members and the general public by making known the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our purposes of advancement of religion, advancement of education, and advancement of community development. We believe that we provide the following benefits both to our members and to the general public within the
Ballyhalbert area who wish to avail of what we have to offer: Advancement of Religion We provide teaching from the Word of God, the Bible, on a weekly basis at our Sunday worship service and mid-week Bible study. Both of these services are open to all; they are advertised on our notice board and members of the church are encouraged to invite friends and contacts. We also provide an opportunity at our services for people to respond to teaching received through prayer, worship and Christian service. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are: - An improved sense of wellbeing for those attending as they enjoy regular fellowship with others and receive teaching from the Bible. - The promotion of Christian values for the benefit of individuals, with those attending our services and events encouraged to adopt a moral framework where they are good citizens. The indirect benefits which flow from this purpose include the moral improvement in society as a whole which religion is considered to encourage. Advancement of Education As noted above, we provide teaching about Evangelical Christian beliefs and practices, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are: - spiritual, moral and intellectual development, through teaching of the Bible, both for members of the Ballyhalbert Gospel Hall and any member of the public who attends our services and events - the development of individual skills and capabilities of members of Ballyhalbert Gospel Hall who are involved in teaching at our public worship services and our Bible studies Advancement of Community Development One of our aims as a church is to reach out into the local Ballyhalbert community in which we are based, and we organise a number of activities to this end (please see below for further information in this regard). The direct benefits which flow from this purpose are: - the encouragement of those who live in the locality of our church as they participate in activities organised by us - the entertainment of children and young people through the provision of activities such as Holiday Bible Clubs, Youth Groups and Sunday School in a safe environment with a Christian ethos All of the above benefits will be evidenced through feedback from our members, their families and the general public within the Ballyhalbert community area who attend our events. The charity’s beneficiaries are members of Ballyhalbert Gospel Hall, their families and the general public within the Ballyhalbert community area, with the majority of our events open to all, without distinction. We do not anticipate that any harm will flow from any of the above purposes.
