Support is provided to individuals who find themselves in need, through Missionaries and Missionary organisations in the UK and overseas both financially and through prayer as the trustees think fit from time to time. The benefits are demonstrated by: • lives transformed for the better, as people seek to live by the teaching of Jesus Christ, to love God and their neighbour as themselves. • the promotion of good relationships, support offered to people in the community who are elderly, alone, disabled, hospitalized • promotion of a worldwide vision and helping missionary causes • bridging relationships with people outside the church. • young people are being kept 'off the street' as they interact with others, develop spiritual, social, moral improvement, learning about the Christian faith. • developing spiritual strengths to help cope with the challenges of personal and family life There is no harm flowing from our purpose. Our beneficiaries are the general public in and around the district where a church is located, visitors from further afield, and any who listen to services over the internet, where that facility is provided. Our services and programmes are open to all sections of the community. The only private benefit flowing from our purpose is related to the employment of our Ministers who receive benefits as a result of their employment. However this is incidental and necessary in order to further our charitable purpose, the advancement of religion.

This support is given through prayer, encouragement and financial aid. We distribute invitations to meetings and Christian literature to homes in the area of benefit and the surrounding area. We may also seek to support individuals who find themselves in need, either at home or abroad. We also provide a structured programme for teenagers and young people both inside church premises and outside and a varied programme of activities, both social and religious, for women from within and without the church fellowship.
