Trustees
Hope Church is set up as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) and as part of our replanting activities and focus for 2023 we are moving financial and resource governance towards a biblical Stewardship model. A new role profile has been written for Trustees and we are in the process of appointing a new Head of Trustees who will build a new Trustee team. We have also strengthened the conditions of church membership towards a firmer commitment to attend, serve, give and grow. The overall responsibilities of our Trustees cover the following areas:
- Fulfilling statutory obligations of the CIO and Charity Commission
- Financial health and management
- Employment
- Legal
- Reporting
- Compliance and risk
