02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Across the year the church met regularly for worship and carried out various activities towards our aims. We continue to develop creative and hybrid ways to develop relationships that people find helpful and supportive. We continue to develop our Safeguarding practices in line with developing legislation. We work with our partner churches in enabling the ministry of Radiate, youth ministry across Cathcart. We continue to offer our facilities as a community hub supporting many groups and community events. Much work has taken place across the year towards the redevelopment of our facilities to provide sustainable and viable new spaces supporting both our church community and the wider community hub that we enable through our buildings. We commissioned a design team to work alongside us and Planning Permission was granted on the 29th August 2025 for the redevelopment project ‘Rehobothy’. Decisions will be taken across the Autumn of 2025 with regard to timing of the work.
