Public benefits
1. Public Benefit is seen in the Advancement of Religion by: Providing Identity, Self-Worth and Value – Teaching that we are indeed created by God in His image provides true identity, self-worth, self-esteem and value to every individual on earth. Finding Your Place and Direction – Knowing that we are created deliberately and with purpose gives
hope and lifts people out of the lies of depression that they are worthless, useless and that there is no meaning to life. We help to provide them with the relationships, education and resources that will help them advance their dreams and live more meaningful and productive lives that will ultimately make a difference in the world by helping others. Living in the Blessing of God: We teach people to overcome the inevitable trials and challenges of life by trusting in God and His Word. Developing Character and Playing by God’s Rules - By obeying them our lives, the lives of those around us and the community are transformed. The Churches’ Bible teaching is HUGELY instrumental in promoting and upholding a moral compass for society, resulting in improved mental and emotional health and wellbeing for the beneficiaries, and stronger relationships between the church and the community. We promote and reinforce all of these areas of public benefit each time we meet together with, or counsel, members of the public. Our doors are open to anyone who needs help, free of charge. The difference we are making is evidenced in personal testimony, increased attendance and joyful / fulfilled individuals. 2. Public Benefit is seen in the Advancement of Education by: Our weekly Bible teaching whether to children, youth, young adults or adults, reinforces all of the public benefits flowing from the advancement of religion. The Churches’ Bible teaching is instrumental in promoting and upholding a moral compass for society. We have instituted and are further developing Kingdom Harvest Bible School, offering foundational/life-altering courses which provide benefit for a person throughout their lives by equipping and preparing them for life. This is evidenced in personal testimony and the fruitful direction we see in people’s lives. These courses are open to everyone. We are currently not charging for the intermittent Saturday courses. We are networking with other Church leaders in Northern Ireland and helping them to enrol in the Global Church Network’s ‘Global Learning Centre’. This provides an educational opportunity which will empower them to more effectively accomplish the dreams and visions God has given them. 3. Public Benefit is seen in the Relief of Poverty by: Teaching how to walk through life with character, integrity, honesty, to manage relationships the way Christ would, to respect authority, to be self-sufficient, get a job, make your own way in the world with Christ’s unfailing help, grace and strength and to become an avenue God can use to bless others. We share knowledge of job opportunities, educational opportunities and connect people with others who will help them along the way, resulting in more people finding work and being self-sufficient, increased self-esteem, and stronger links between the church and the wider community. We also support those in need with advice on financial management, and financial assistance when required, resulting in improved health and wellbeing, and stronger links between the church and the wider community. We also support and participate in international missions, including providing assistance to rebuild churches, and the purchasing of musical instruments for worship, all of which supports the Churches’ Bible teachings, which is instrumental in promoting and upholding a moral compass for society, resulting in improved mental and emotional health and wellbeing for the beneficiaries, and stronger relationships within the community. The benefits from the above purposes can be demonstrated by the numbers attending the various church groups/activities, changed behaviours and personal testimonies observed during pastoral care, and can also be clearly seen in the lives of those who attend regularly. Benefits are also attested to by studies, statistics and social reviews regarding the benefits of frequent church attendance. The only private benefits are salaries and on-going training to/for those who devote their time and energy to carry out the purposes of Kingdom Harvest Church Belfast Ltd. This is incidental and necessary because they are required to run and deliver the services offered by the charity.

Kingdom Harvest Church carries out its Advancement of Religion activities through weekly: Worship Services Sun 11:30am, "Kid's Blast" Children's Church Sun 11:30am, various Young Adults activities, Men's Life Groups Wed 7:30pm, Winning Women's Meetings Tues 7:30pm, Discipleship Classes and occasional KHCB Bible School (Saturdays 10am – 3pm when
scheduled). We are networking with other churches and organisations (like the Global Church Network) to provide encouragement, synergy and leadership training to churches here in N Ireland so we can work strategically together to FINISH the Great Commission. We arrange our own mission trips (example: to the Philippines) and we support other missionary organisations (like Overland Missions) by financial support directly to missionaries traveling to and labouring in foreign countries (like the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Zambia, Zanzibar and Morocco etc.) and now by personally ministering in conferences in Egypt to nearly 400 pastors and Church leaders through the GCN. We also promote the Gospel through social media. This includes websites (like kingdomharvest.co.uk) and social media (which includes our Facebook pages “Kingdom Harvest Church Belfast”) and we also have a YouTube channel. We carry out our Educational activities through our Bible School which is based on the courses and course materials of Rhema Bible Training Centre and the Global Church Divinity School. Poverty Relief activities included disaster relief (example: Church repair in the Philippines after a hurricane) and the support of other missions organisations which do similar work in other countries (like Kenneth Copeland Ministries). We also provide discipleship teaching which empowers individuals to break the cycle of dependency, identify their gifts and talents, trust God for new opportunities which create self-sufficiency and ultimately to live a life which makes a positive contribution to the lives of others.
