    NORTHERN LIGHTS METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CHURCH 

    To advance the Christian religion by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Newcastle upon Tyne and elsewhere by providing Christian fellowship, worship, witness, action and service.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    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
    • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 22 years
