Public benefits

Purpose 1: To advance the gospel of Jesus Christ among the general public, in accordance with biblical principles and practice in Castlereagh, its surrounding areas, the UK and abroad.

lives lived in a law-abiding, moral and godly manner. The spiritual, physical, emotional and pastoral needs of children, young people, adults and older people are met within a church or mission context through public worship services and a range of activities. These benefits are demonstrated through informal feedback from church members, those who attend activities, their families and the community in which we serve. There is no harm arising from this purpose. The beneficiaries gain personally from the charity, but only in the same way that any other member of the public may.

Purpose 3: To advance education among the general public in Castlereagh, its surrounding areas, the UK and abroad, by means of financial and practical support. The public benefits, which flow from this purpose, are improved levels of education among the beneficiaries which results in greater employment prospects and the ability to make a positive contribution to the society in which they live.
