THE POINT CHURCH

The church is part of the Church of England which operates under a Bishops Mission Order. Its objectives are to:-- glorify God, build community and play our part in the transformation of Mid Sussex;- to grow a network church community in Mid Sussex with a particular emphasis on the unchurched; and- to make church more accessible and relational, in a contemporary idiom for all ages.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
