Public benefits

The direct benefits’ flowing from this purpose includes the well being of beneficiaries who go on to become better citizens, leading useful and purposeful lives. Also, many beneficiaries get involved in their local communities helping others as they themselves have been helped. These benefits can be demonstrated by feedback from those who have been

helped and whose lives have been improved. Also, by feedback from the beneficiaries family members and the wider community and from those who go on to promote the church purposes in other areas. The purposes of our charity will not lead to any harm. There has never been any feedback to indicate that harm has been caused. The charity’s beneficiaries are families mainly from across N. I. The only private benefit flowing from the purpose is a young man who is being trained up for the ministry, who receives expenses to enable him to fulfil his function. This person gives his time to prepare for and conduct meetings. He also needs to travel frequently to attend the meetings. He needs to visit families in their homes and the sick in hospitals and work with youth in the community. Some individuals may receive expenses from time to time to enable them to carry out certain tasks to promote the purposes of the Church. Incidental payments may be made to visiting speakers, for church hall and training costs, for the purchase of equipment and to help support families in a variety of ways. These are all necessary for the running of the Church.

What your organisation does

We hold Christian meetings in church buildings and homes. We preach and teach the Bible. We encourage and guide people to become Christians and live by the Bible. We praise and worship God together. We share communion around the Lords table. We pray for one another and the needs of others. We visit the sick and elderly and pray for God to heal,

bless and comfort them. We explain and demonstrate the love that God has for people by creating a family atmosphere in our meetings. We train and promote people with gifts in speaking, singing and music. We provide fellowship by showing hospitality and sharing meals together. We help and support those with various needs. We support the local food bank by giving food on a regular basis. We train and equip those who believe they are called to the ministry. We support those who choose to go Bible College for further training. We plant new churches for people in other geographical areas with people who are sufficiently trained to lead the meetings and continue to support them. We invite speakers from other church groups. We are in association with a larger church in Ireland and draw from their experiences, wisdom and strength. We gather funds from tithing, gifts and by other methods to enable us to do all the things we do.
