02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our charity is set up to undertake religious activities, which includes sharing the good news of the Gospel by proclamation and demonstration (good works). We partner with other missions organisations throughout the world who have similar objectives. We also provide pastoral care for our members from the cradle to the grave. In order to helpfully care for others and reach out to others, we run ancillary services to facilitate this. We aim to be a blessing to our community and our TAR would provide substantive evidence of this.
