DEMONSTRATION Of BENEFITS In addition to spiritual benefit research has shown that church participants benefit from a range of physical and mental health benefits. Participants returning regularly and voluntarily to many of the activities implies they derive benefit from them. Members can provide personal testimony to the benefits derived. HARMS We are not aware of any harms arising from our purpose . We seek to reflect the high value that God places on every individual. Attendance at all or any of the meetings is voluntary. There is no compulsion. The Bible is explicit that faith is an individual choice and we do not believe that any form of coercion can lead to true faith. PRIVATE BENEFIT There are no paid staff within our organisation. Individuals may derive benefit incidental to their activities such as gaining presentation skills or experience in helping with youth or other outreach. This may benefit them in other aspects of their lives but it is not the main purpose.
