Public benefits
Forestside Christian Centre provides a space, both physical and spiritual, for people to worship and develop spiritually. We support individuals to enhance their morality and to take our ethos and principles out into wider society for its betterment. These benefits are demonstrated by the attendance of, on average, 60 people at worship twice a
day on Sunday, including a children’s church (both morning & evening), 20 home and hospital visitations a month, 20 teenagers in our youth club, Youth Worship on Friday nights, Saturday night Children’s Club with 25 participants, senior citizen’s lunch, once a month, with 30 attendees. All members of the Church have free access to a body of elders and teachers to support them with issues and problems and to channel feedback about their experiences as members of the congregation. The charities beneficiaries are mostly from the Greater Belfast area and specifically the Belvoir area. Membership of the church is open to all and the church is part of a network of interdependent churches that mutually support each other and the pastoral development of all of their members. The church provides weddings, dedications, burials and the teaching of Christian Education. We hold a convention every two months to promote broader fellowship. There are no private benefits that are not incidental and necessary to the purposes of the charity (The Pastor receives a modest salary, the use of a car and a mobile phone). These are all necessary for the effective functioning of the Church and for the realisation of the charity’s purposes.
