Public benefits
The expression of the principle of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public, and in particular with the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young is a public benefit. The benefits will be demonstrated through increased social integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need. The direct benefit of
participation in Church life includes the enjoyment of public worship and the giving and receiving of pastoral ministry, improved understanding of the values relating to civic engagement, community cohesion and providing a bridge between groups as well as improved educational outcomes through the Church's ministry of teaching. The beneficiaries are the general public, and the public valuation of the benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship, participation in Church governance and willingness to support through contributions the continuing witness of the Church. A charity is established to advance Christian religion in Craigavon, Newry, Dungannon and Armagh. The Church may also carry out to the advancement of religion in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom and would likely to operate in Philippines and Kenya. It plans to spread the Gospel that may lead to spiritual growth and may build a strong Christian values society. There is some private benefit in that members who are not trustees may be employed by or enter into contracts with the Church and receive reasonable payment for goods or services supplied. Members and trustees may also be paid interest at a reasonable rate on money lent to the Church. Members (including trustees) may be paid a reasonable rent or hiring fee for property let or hired to the Church and members may receive charitable benefits in their capacity as beneficiaries. We do not see any harm arising in the course of Christian outreach.
