Objectives and activities
 

a. Objectives
 

The charitable company's principal objective is to establish and oversee churches in Scotland and worldwide. This continues to involve administration, organisation and financing of all aspects of outreach and missions work, locally, nationally and internationally. Also to undertake all ancillary activities relevant to the furtherance of Christian teaching and ideals including the advancement of education and learning by the establishment of schools in Christian environments, using curricula approved by the bodies responsible for the conduct and operation of such schools.
 

Achievements and performance
 

a. Main achievements of the company
 

The charitable company has, as in previous years achieved much and continues to progress with the goals set out in the future planning. Much has been accomplished and attained throughout the year under review through the many events held. Growth within the church, public relations and community outreach are of great importance and these are being increased and expanded.
In the year under review the ministry has held many different events and meetings which are always excellent avenues for community outreach, church growth and developing good public relations. These meetings were held live and also virtually or both in some cases. The avenue of social media and virtual platforms has proved to be of vital part of today’s church ministry and means that the charitable company is reaching further afield in the work of the ministry and in seeing people’s lives touched and changed.
In the year under review all services continued in both Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh and the online service put in place during the covid pandemic also remains in action. Connections continue to be made with people throughout the world joining in with our online services and with other online meetings/events. This all shows that the charitable company is a productive and active ministry.

Achievements and performance (continued)


The annual ‘International Celebration’ took place in August  of the year under review. This event was held as part of the Edinburgh Service, and the response from the church congregations was again excellent. This annual event is always a great outreach to the local community and to the general public, giving people the opportunity to experience church in a more relaxed atmosphere. It incorporates praise, ministry of the Word, and fellowship and with the colour, energy, and excitement  this multicultural event is a celebration of Who God is in the hearts of the people throughout the world. This event coincides with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which takes place in the City at this time. Meaning there are many more people and visitors to the city, giving more opportunity to reach out and show the love of Christ to the masses. The event was a fruitful and successful time, and the ministry is looking forward to next year’s celebration.
November, of the year under review, saw the Charitable Company hosting the annual Autumn Faith Conference. The conference was held over the first weekend of the month and incorporated live meetings and virtual meetings. The theme for the conference was ‘Build Your Faith in This Present Day’. The guest speakers for the virtual meetings on the Friday and Saturday nights was Pastors Stephen and Diane Sumrall, from the USA. The teachings that were brought forth throughout the weekend, helped and exhorted those in attendance how to continue to build their faith in the face of everyday challenges. The Trustees/Directors were very pleased with the attendance to all the meetings, virtual and live. Again, the response of the attendance to the virtual meetings shows how important these online platforms are for  a church and ministry in today’s society.
In December 2023, the charitable company again reached out to support those in need in the local communities. With the annual Christmas Hampers, full of Christmas foods being given out to the needy families in the church and in the communities. These hampers are a valuable and important part of the churches outreach, especially in the day that we live. The Ministry also continued to support the schools in the Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy locale, by sowing a monetary gift to their school Christmas mission. The ministry being able to sow and donate these hampers and finances means that the love of Christ is being shared with people who otherwise would probably not have a joyous time of the year – a time when we all should be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ our King. The church congregations again played a part in both of these outreaches, being actively involved in what the church is doing in their local areas - helping to distribute and provide the hampers and sowing financially into these missions.
Also, in December 2023, several different Christmas and New Year events were held, including children’s and youth parties, Diadems Luncheon, Christmas Day service, Encourage fellowship, and the annual New Year Celebration. All these different events allow for congregations, their family, friends and work colleagues, and other visitors to come along to experience church life in a more relaxed atmosphere. The outreach events at any time of year are of vital importance to the growth of the church and to bring Christ into the lives of those who are in need, and even more so at Christmas. All events held were well supported and everyone enjoyed the fellowship and the social side, as well as the scriptural side, remembering and celebrating Jesus - who is the reason for the season. 
The annual three-day ‘Rise Up’ Prayer and Fast was held in January 2024. The fast is chosen by the individual themselves, with the prayer sessions held both live and virtually, these included teaching, and prayer. This prayer and fast time is an opportunity for people to take time out to pray for their own destiny, spending time before God to get His wisdom and guidance on the year ahead and for their future in general.  
The annual away conference -  Heavenly Matters Conference was hosted by Christian Centre Ministries in the February of the year under review. The conference was held on the 8th – 10th February, in a hotel in Peebleshire. The conference has proved to be a very popular event with the delegates having time away from their normal day to day routine and being able to attend teaching and prayer sessions, as well as have some relaxation fellowship and time for self. This year’s conference saw an increase in numbers of the delegates in attendance. This included not only members of the congregations but visitors and Pastors from all over the UK and the world. The ministry of the Word at these conferences is always powerful and the opportunity to network and connect is of great importance in church growth and public relations.
The Trustees/Directors were very encouraged by the testimonies received from delegates and were pleased by the attendance and response to the conference. Preparations are now underway for next year’s conference.

Achievements and performance (continued)


Easter Celebrations took place in March of the year under review, with the Good Friday healing Service being held in ‘The Haven’  within the Kirkcaldy church building. An evening of worship and ministry of the Word this service was well attended, with people sharing testimony and enjoying a time of fellowship together. An Encourage Men’s Breakfast and a Diadems lunch were also held on the Easter Saturday. All this fellowship is of vital importance within a church and the Trustees/Directors were pleased and enthused to see the response of the people within and out with the church who attended all the events.
In April 2024, the Links Market funfair made its annual visit to the Kirkcaldy esplanade and this gave another opportunity for outreach to the local communities. A team of volunteers from both Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh, were involved in bringing this to fruition. The front doors and foyer area  of the Kirkcaldy church building were opened up to the main street and the team served free teas and coffee and refreshments to those who were passing by on their way to and from the market. People of all walks of life stopped for a chat and for some to ask for prayer. This event was a great success, reaching many people who needed that prayer, that comforting word of encouragement and even just that chat with someone and the vision is to see it held annually to coincide with the funfairs visit.  
The Encourage men’s ministry, Diadems women’s ministry, Intensity Youth and young adults group all continued throughout the year under review. With most meetings taking place live, within the churches or  in different venues, and with different emphasis. Virtual meetings also continued proving successful. These individual meetings relevant to men, women, youth, and young adults are another great opportunity for visitors to come along and experience ‘church’ in a different and more relaxed setting, and at relevant age ranges. This helps to encourage church growth. The teachings, sharing and fellowship that comes forth at the meetings exhorts the family of believers at whatever age to grow in their understanding of God and in their walk and journey of faith with Him.
The Trustees/Directors of the Charitable Company are again this year, very encouraged with the progress and development of the church and ministry. It is vital for people within the church to feel loved and to feel a part, cared for and supported. This is of great importance to all the Directors and seeing the events and outreach opportunities held throughout the year under review and the support of the congregations, has been a great joy and pleasure for them. It is believed that next year will be an even better year and bring greater opportunities and open doors for the Ministry to reach out to those who require support and care, not just for those within the church but in the surrounding locales and further afield, even globally.
As is evident from the Review of the year, the ministry continues to achieve its objectives and maintains vision for any projects undertaken. The aim is to see continued progress and growth for the foreseeable future, without having to depend upon grants, legacies, or unexpected donations.
 
 

Financial review
 

a. Going concern
 

The Directors and Trustees are responsible for the internal financial controls and have assessed the performance of the company for the year ended 31st July 2024 and concluded that there are no major risks or concerns to which the charitable company may be exposed.
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Christian Centre Ministries
 
Financial review (continued)

 

b. Surplus
 

The financial statements confirm that the charitable company has shown a surplus of £6,048 for the year. In the current year there was sufficient unrestricted funds, with cumulative unrestricted funds of £911,652. The Directors and Trustees will continue to monitor the financial position and discuss ways to generate more income.
 

c. Reserves policy
 

The charitable company's reserves, being an amount of £51,000 held in the bank, are designed to meet operational costs for the unforeseen winding up of the charitable company plus any contractual staff liabilities which may arise at the end of the funding period. The charity has two buildings which could be sold upon winding up. Additionally, some of the winding up costs would not require payment until the buildings were sold. However since the properties may not be sold immediately the trustees feel it would be prudent to hold cash reserves of £51,000.
 

d. Investments
 

No investments were made in the year under review.
 

e. Insurances
 

The physical safety of employees and general public using the company facilities is covered by Employers' Liability and Public Liability insurances, which are in place through the company insurance brokers.
 

f. Liabilities
 

All properties are owned outright by the charitable company and there has been some expenditure on the general maintenance and upkeep of the two church buildings throughout the year. The company is happy to report that there have been no major repairs required in the year under review.
The financial statements confirm that the charitable company has no long term liabilities, mortgages, loans or any other kind of borrowing.
 

Structure, governance and management
 

a. Constitution
 

Christian Centre Ministries is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and operates under the rules of its Memorandum of Association.
 

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
 

A new trustee is elected by means of nomination by a current trustee. Once nominated, the partners are called to vote for that person to become a trustee, before the appointment is carried through.
On appointment the board give new trustees a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which outlines the aims of the company. They also receive information regards the roles and responsibilities of trustees and staff. The new trustee is also given a copy of the most recent OSCR guidelines regards their responsibilities.

Christian Centre Ministries
 
Structure, governance and management (continued)

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
 

The trustees of the charitable company have overall responsibility for the transaction of the ordinary business of Christian Centre Ministries.
The trustees of the charitable company (Members of the Advisory Board) are responsible for the strategic decisions of the company and are reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting, along with the reappointment of the accountants and confirmation of bankers and solicitors. Employees of the company are responsible for the day to day administration and bookkeeping.
 

Plans for future periods
 

To continue to concentrate on young adult’s groups, helping them to stay focused on their faith. Giving them opportunity to get to know more young people within their age group and allowing open discussions in relation to Bible Truth principles, resulting in them feeling more connected to each other and will cause their faith to grow.
To develop further a ministry care team of committed people to support anyone in the church who may be needing extra support, when going through troubled or difficult times both spiritually, practically and in relation to emotional and mental wellbeing.
To continue to hold open day events. Taking advantage on what events are taking place in the local town and cities. Celebrating more with the communities around Christmas, New Year and Easter seasons. This keeps the ministry in the public eye as well as being interested in supporting the people within the local communities.
To encourage, inspire and develop leaders for the relevant and various aspects of ministry. Such as women, men, hospitality, youth, children, outreach, evangelism etc.
The plan to establish online weekly fellowships and teaching times to progress further. Seeing new believers reached and taught the Word at their level, encouraging them to grow in the things of God. Further online meetings planned are Bible College, which would take place at least two nights a week providing opportunities of more teaching and study time for the believer.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.


The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.


Independent Examination
Steven Todd CA of EQ Accountants Limited was re- appointed as Independent Examiner during the year.
Small Company Provisions
The report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small company exemption.
Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Christian Centre Ministries

 
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 July 2024 which are set out on pages 10 to 21.


Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner


The trustees, who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ('the Act') and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 (as amended). The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.


Basis of independent examiner's statement


My examination was carried out in accordance with regulation 11 of the Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1.2

General information

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

  
1.3

Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the company, can be reliably measured. 

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.

Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1.Accounting policies (continued)

  
1.4

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

  
1.5

Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

 
1.6

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Heritable land
-
Nil
Heritable buildings
-
1-5% reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
25% reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
25% reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Revalued assets are carried at fair value less any subsequent depreciation or impairment losses.
Revaluation gains are recognised as "gains on the revaluation of fixed assets" within the Statement of Financial Activity (SoFA), unless they reverse a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as a cost within the expenditure headings of the SoFA.
Revaluation losses are recognised as an expense in the relevant expenditure heading of the SoFA except to the extent to which they offset any previous revaluation gains, in which case the loss is shown in the "gains/(losses) on the revaluation of fixed assets" section of the SoFA.

1.Accounting policies (continued)


1.7

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

  
1.8

Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  
1.9

Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

  
1.10

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

Included in heritable property is heritable land at valuation of £350,000, (cost £350,000) which is not depreciated.

The heritable property was revalued in 2018 by an independent valuer. The directors believe that the total value of £803,668 represents a fair open market value as at 31 July 2024 (2023- £809,462).


The company has adopted a policy of revaluation for tangible fixed assets. Had these assets been measured at historic cost, the carrying values would have been as follows:
