Other benefits will be seen in the lives of people conforming more and more to the highest ethical and moral standards in accordance with Christian faith. There will be further benefit to the public as members interact with the communities in which they live and demonstrate the benefits of living according to Christian principles in consistent Christian Faith. Benefits can be demonstrated through our missionary and outreach work and through our training of students for the Christian Ministry at the Reformed Theological College There will be no harm as a result of the work of the church. The weekly worship services and Bible study and prayer groups are open to members and adherents and other members of the public who may wish to attend. Only those who meet the membership requirements of the denomination may participate in the observance of the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion). Outreach work is conducted in the neighbourhoods of the places of worship and in those areas where the denomination is seeking to establish a presence. Many congregations maintain a website which will include access to audio recordings of services including sermons. The only private benefit within the context of the work of the Church will be the deeper understanding and experience gained by those who are involved in promoting the aims of the Church.
