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

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Johnston Kennedy DFK
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2024 was a year that saw the continued development and strengthening of our CFC sites, and the deepening of kingdom-focussed partnerships with other churches in Northern Ireland.”
- “Around 73 people came to our Exploring Membership evening in June, wanting to find out more about church membership, and we had baptism services at all our CFC locations during the year.”
- “One of our main focuses in 2024, across all our CFC communities, was investing into Connect Groups. The Connect groups flourished and grew during the year.”
- “The 2024 Compassion Appeal saw our congregations donate a staggering £150,000 to bless individuals and families in need.”
- “In December, Laura Bell resigned from her position as site pastor of South, as she was moving to a new role in Causeway Vineyard. Rachel Tweedie was appointed as the new CFC South Pastor in her stead.”
- “The figures contained in these accounts once again reflect the faithfulness of God and the incredible ongoing generosity of the CFC members. This generosity, combined with careful and prayerful stewardship, has resulted in an increase in donations to the church and a surplus of funds for the year.”
