Objectives and activities |
Objectives and aims |
Empowerment |
We raise members to be devoted to God, to be firm in fasting and prayer and walk in the supernatural, teaching and encouraging them to function in their callings and gifts. |
Significant activities |
During the fiscal year 2024 - 2025, KICC Vinechurch continued to make progress in different areas, including the regular attendance of church services. There is gradual but steady growth in our virtual attendance and regular Sunday services and other church programs. |
There has not been a change in the pastoral and leadership level, but one trustee resigned, and another was appointed in his place. Subscription to our YouTube channel has also grown. The intercessory ministry continued to hold regular meetings and set aside time weekly for praying and teaching, encouraging participants to function in their callings. Intercessory sessions were held online on Friday evenings and Sunday mornings. Monthly all-night prayers commenced as well for the last Friday of every month and everyday prayers virtually for seven days leading to that in person all night prayers. |
The Bible studies on Tuesdays also continue to be held virtually. During Sunday services members prayed for the nations of the world as well as the United Kingdom. During these sessions, members were encouraged to live a Christian lifestyle and function in their gifts and callings. Members participated in the corporate December and June prayer and fasting held for all of KICC and the teachings which took place daily at these times. |
The youth and children's ministries are thriving. The youth and children's church's activities continued through Zoom calls. |
The Caring House Fellowship (CHF) centre programs were held online with teaching materials provided. |
Public benefit |
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. |

Achievement and performance |
Charitable activities |
Numerical |
We engage in sound Bible-based teaching and exhorted members to reach out in corporate and personal witnessing, discipleship and mentorship. True servanthood is about credibility, consistency, being an extra-miler, making selfless decisions, character, diligence and walking in the anointing. Summed up, it is about putting God first in everything. |
As has been the practice, members were all encouraged to reach out to each other and support any vulnerable neighbours in their local community by phone or online (Facebook, Skype, Zoom, etc.). The church should be contacted for welfare and signposting to other authorities if needed. |
Empowerment Centre |
We participated in social activities, raising civic leaders and initiating social action programs. We collaborated with community groups, driving personal development, with a focus on education, career and enterprise. |
KICC Vinechurch encourages all members to participate in social activities with local community groups and practise health and exercise activities online during this season. The church hopes to continue its community activities with the elderly in person. |
The Vine women's ministry continued its activities and so also the Vine men's ministry. |
KICC Vinechurch offered welfare support to bereaved families and those who were experiencing hardship e.g., due to loss of job or earnings. |
Celebration |
We engage in consecrated, celebratory, contemporary, vibrant, uplifting and edifying Jesus-centred worship. The congregation is the 'choir', led by multi-generational worship teams who help engender corporate and personal commitment to worship in spirit and in truth" as a 24/7 lifestyle. |
Spiritual |
We prepare people for eternity, teaching them to walk with God and in holiness, integrity and Christian maturity, manifesting the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Our Sunday services have themed messages to address everyday Christian living and to empower participants to be civil citizens and responsible members of the community. |
International / Organisation |
We help plant other ministries through the KICC national forum, seeding, sending and serving until the gospel is preached in all nations. Again, as in previous years, Christmas hampers were given to members of the local community. This was done in collaboration with Peabody Community Foundation and other local voluntary bodies. |
Financially |
We aim to raise kingdom millionaires by teaching biblical financial principles to our members and encourage a lifestyle of financial literacy and stewardship. |
The KICC Vinechurch business forum kept members updated and informed on their business ventures through a series of both virtual and actual breakfast events. |
