Public benefits
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its members and the general public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of religion. The direst benefits which flow from the purposes of the Church include the gaining of an understanding in Christian
beliefs as set out in the Bible and in the Church's subordinate standards leading to spiritual and moral development and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework leads to practical expressions of Christian belief and standards in the local community such as through the care of those in need. Generally the above benefits are delivered locally by congregational churches and members, or are facilitated through presbyteries or are organised and delivered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by central resources in.almost all cases. Public access is made known through the use of noticeboards, printed material and in other ways. The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the services. The purpose does not lead to harm. The only private benefit flowing from our purpose is related to Ministers,missionaries and lay agents who receive benefits as a result of their holding office or employment. However this is incidental and necessary in order to further our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The beneficiaries of this purpose are members, their families, other individuals that PCI is in direct contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland.
