Board of Trustees

Keeping
the trust.

The trustees are members of the congregation. The board is chaired by the resident minister, and between them the trustees hold the church's formal responsibilities — its money, its records and its public voice — and run its charity, Doorstep Support.

The board

Who sits
on the board.

The trustees carry the congregation's formal responsibilities — its accounts and records, its money and how it is used, and how the church presents itself publicly — and they run its charity, Doorstep Support. They are members of the congregation, and they answer to it.

Responsibilities

What the board
looks after.

“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
1 Corinthians 4:2
  1. Our charity

    Doorstep Support was founded by Minister Kufre Okon and is run by the church's board of trustees. The trustees are responsible for the charity — its money, its records and how the work is done — and they answer to the congregation and to the Charity Commission for it. The minister founded the initiative and leads it as a project; worship and teaching are his work, and the charity's governance is the board's.

  2. Governance

    The trustees take formal responsibility for the church's affairs. Church of Christ White Hart Lane is a registered charity — a charitable incorporated organisation, no. 1219204, registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 10 August 2026 — and the trustees are its charity trustees. The board is chaired by the resident minister, and it answers to the congregation and to the Commission rather than to any office above it.

  3. Money

    The treasurer keeps the accounts and oversees how the church's money is used. Gifts to the congregation and gifts to Doorstep Support, our charity, arrive in the same account in the charity's registered name — through this website, by bank transfer or on the charity's own donation page — and the fund and the reference keep them apart in the books. Every gift is receipted.

  4. Communication

    The media lead is responsible for what the church publishes — recordings of the teaching and the church's presence online — so that what is taught in the room reaches beyond it.
