Principal activities of the company

In reviewing 2024, a brief highlight for each key focus area is as follows. Worship, Prayer & Gatherings A weekend of worship, prayer and getting to know others from all locations at our Big weekend in Wales. Regular worship, prayer and gatherings continue to grow and develop at all locations. Children, Youth & Families Youth baptisms in July are always a highlight of any year. Also, DTI youth camp, plus refreshing children’s programs both during the week and on Sundays, have enabled families to feel part of our community. Church as caring family We ran a wide range of courses on Tuesday nights, from Alpha through to Emotionally Healthy Relationships. Emphasising The Journey Our theme for the year of transformation was woven into all aspects of teaching and group life. Community in Action We have continued to work closely with Signposts Services to bring practical support to the most vulnerable in our local communities. Global Family We have continued to support our global mission partners and also raised funds through our Christmas and thank offerings to support humanitarian work for those displaced by conflicts in the Middle East. Outreach We joined the Further Faster network as a full partner to help us maintain our focus as an outward-facing church. Chaplaincy Safe spaces have continued to grow and develop at all locations, with staff and volunteers helping all who come in feel safe and belong. Organisational Health We added to our board of trustees, and maintained our rhythm of regular appraisals, planning, budgeting and policy reviews.
