MINSTER CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Christian Church affiliated to The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. We hold public services for Worship and prayer at our church building in Sturminster Rd. Cardiff. Sunday School and Youth Group activities are also run at the church building. The Church supports with prayer and financial support a number of "mission partners" engaged in Gospel work in UK and other countries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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