Public benefits
1 To uphold and extend evangelical Christianity consistent with the Word of God and the Doctrinal Basis of the Congregational Union. The direct benefits to the public include the provision of a common place for evangelical Christians to congregate to engage in public worship and biblical teaching. 2. To promote fellowship between and encourage
the spiritual prosperity of the members of the congregation. The direct benefits to the public include the provision of a meeting place for people with an interest in Christian and Biblical teaching to meet collectively and engage in activities that promote spiritual prosperity and fellowship. 3. To further the dissemination of biblical gospel truth.The direct benefits to the public include the provision of a meeting place where the Christian message of Christ’s redemption is proclaimed, free to the community to attend, in pursuit of increasing their knowledge and awareness of the gospel, biblical truth and their personal faith. 1. This can be demonstrated by the provision of two public services held each Sunday at 11 30am and 7 00pm and a public mid-week meeting held every Wednesday night at 8 00pm. 2. This can be demonstrated by a range of scheduled activities such as the Monday bible club for children aged between 4 and 11 attended by children not associated directly with the church. There are opportunities for women to engage in bible teaching, friendship, fellowship and activities of mutual interest on the second Tuesday of each month at 800pm. We run Noah’s Ark on a weekly basis where parents and carers can come with little ones and enjoy a time of fellowship while the tots play with the toys and listen to the wee stories. 3.This can be demonstrated through the bible teaching in each church Service and activity. 1. This purpose does not give rise to any harm. 2. The deacons recognise that children and young people are a vulnerable group and we take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously. We operate a child protection policy which requires all volunteers with access to children and young people to be Access NI checked. 3.This purpose does not give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries include the church membership, adherents, local community and visiting public from the district, children aged 4-11, toddlers and their parents/carers and women. There are no private benefits outside those associated with the salary of the church minister or the payment of expenses to a visiting church minister or speaker, or the payment of financial gifts raised by members of the congregation to support associates of the church who engage in missionary work both at home and abroad. The private benefit gained by the Minister enables: 1 The provision of pastoral care to the congregation and those who wish to attend services and activities in the church. 2 Updates and reports on mission endeavour at home and abroad. As such the private benefit incurred directly contributes towards achieving the Church’s purposes and is a necessary result of carrying out those purposes.
