Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a revenue income of £54,492 against running costs of £39,328, resulting in an operating surplus of £15,164. The trustees note that the financial position has improved due to increased room hire and manse rental income, though they acknowledge that rising utility costs and future ministerial expenses may challenge long-term sustainability. Despite these pressures, the trustees report that the church remains in a strong financial position with no foreseeable exceptional expenditure threatening viability.
