Public benefits
Public Benefit Requirement The public benefit of Cregagh Congregational Church may be identified as follows: - 1 To provide facilities within the community of Cregagh/Castlereagh and adjoining districts, whereby any one may participate in the public worship of God on both Sunday morning and evening. 2 To teach and instruct all interested persons
about the Bible and the application of the teaching contained within it, through both the public worship services and the midweek meeting. 3 To provide facilities for children and young people so that they may develop socially, educationally, physically and spiritually, through the medium of The Boys’ Brigade, The Girls’ Brigade, Kids’ Club and Sunday School. 4 To provide facilities to enable the mature and senior members of the community to enjoy social interaction and to enable them to continue to develop both mentally and socially through the Ladies Guild, Past Members (GB) Association and The Second Wednesday Club.
What your organisation does
1 The facilities enable persons to meet to worship God, according to the Congregational tradition. Beneficiaries are both those in the Cregagh community and outside the area. 2 Those attending such meetings learn principles to bring comfort in times of personal travail, direction for living, and encouragement to show love and do good to those in
the congregation and neighbourhood. Beneficiaries are those who receive the teaching, as it provides a moral framework for citizenship, and those with whom they interact. 3 Children and young adults are instructed in aspects which contribute to a foundation for being good citizens, i.e. Social - They are taught self-respect and respect for others; how to relate to their peers and adults; and to act as team members; Physical – Members are instructed in physical activities, contributing to maintaining health and fitness; Educational –They are taught skills through badge work, etc. which complement the educational skills learned at school and thus widen the children’s horizon for both careers and interests; Spiritual – This is foundational to a moral framework for life and to provide them with knowledge to develop a belief system which can facilitate their future physical and emotional well-being. Beneficiaries are those whose parents attend Cregagh Congregational Church, other churches in the neighbourhood, and those without any church connection. 4 This contributes to the health and emotional well-being of the adults and senior citizens through meeting with their contemporaries, which can be denied them in later life through the loss of a spouse, other family members or friends. Also various speakers are invited to make the attendees aware of topics of interest that can be developed either individually or collectively. Beneficiaries are those members of the church, who are mature or elderly, as well as others in this age bracket who, while not having a direct connection with the church, are welcome to attend.
