What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy
The free reserves are the total unrestricted funds less the amount designated for the acquisition of church buildings, and equate to £393,189 (2024: £1,027,508). The General Assembly Board, and indeed the True Jesus Church in general, adopt a very conservative financial management strategy and would not normally borrow funds from commercial financial institutions. Hence the General Assembly Board has accumulated a large surplus of free reserves but such a reserve is held for the purpose of capital expenditure when necessary, e.g. purchase of properties by affiliated churches or when large programmes need to be undertaken requiring resources larger than the normal operating budget. — page 4

Related-party transaction: Loans from affiliated churches to support the Cramlington building project.
Loans from affiliated churches comprise five loans from local churches and places of worship of the True Jesus Church in the UK. The loans were made for the purpose of supporting the building project in Cramlington. The loans are interest-free and repayable on demand. — page 20
