Public benefits
The expression of the precepts of the Christian faith through engagement with the general public, and in particular with the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young is a public benefit. This can be measured and evidenced 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 diverse groups as well as improved educational outcomes through the Church’s ministry of teaching. The wider benefit to the public will significantly outweigh any possible detriment arising in the course of Christian outreach. 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. Any private benefit arising out of the fulfilment of our Christian ministry or to lay staff is essential to the fulfilment of the purpose of the advancement of religion. No Trustee receives remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying out their Trustee responsibility.
What your organisation does
Harbour Faith Community is an inclusive Christian faith community which provides opportunities for public worship, reflection, theological learning and spiritual exploration. Our gatherings are open to everyone, regardless of background, belief, sexuality, gender, race, ability or political outlook, and we seek to provide a welcoming space
particularly for people who may have felt excluded or uncomfortable within more traditional church settings. We provide pastoral care and support to members of the community, undertake religious ceremonies including weddings, funerals and baptisms where appropriate, and encourage activities which promote compassion, inclusion, community wellbeing and constructive engagement across difference. We also engage with the wider public through our premises, online resources, social media, events and partnerships with other community and faith organisations.
