Significant events

• “In 2024 Russell White, Lead Elder of Citygate Church, with the support of the leadership team and staff, brought our focus on 1000s of Kingdom moments; looking at how we as disciples can be a blessing to our communities and workplaces.”
• “Our Community Hub continues to offer vital support to people in need. In 2024 we were able to offer 3275 Food Bank parcels and provided 2863 caseworkers appointments.”
• “Our venue income at the Citygate centre decreased significantly through the pandemic. Through 2022 we started to see our venue income slowly increase and in 2024 it rose further to £166,380. Included in our venue income was turnover from Arch Coffee House, which was launched in November 2023.”
• “By the end of 2024 we saw 26 people baptised, 58 people completed our Alpha courses, 1044 people received our welcome bags giving them an opportunity to be a part of the church community, and 47 people became Christians.”
• “In 2025 our vision will continue to be 'seeing lives transformed, every day, across the bay' but our focus for 2025 will be on building on our infrastructure to sustain growth. We will be purchasing a new site for our Southbourne congregation which is almost at capacity. We will also look toward a potential 3rd site in Poole in early 2026.”
• “We brought an end to our regular financial support to Steve and Beth Deveraj, who have moved back to the UK.”
• “We have brought an end to our regular financial support of Dave and Karen Priest who were working in the Middle East as part of a mission team reaching into this area.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
