Overview
Summary
Living Word Worship Centre appears to be a small, worship-centred community organisation whose current visible activity is focused on regular church gatherings and local invitation-based outreach. Its charitable objects suggest a broader ambition: using a worship space as a platform for inclusive recreation, social welfare and vocational development in Birmingham. The main uncertainty is whether these wider purposes are active programmes, future capacity, or retained constitutional scope.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission return states that the charity operates in Birmingham City, which supports a citywide declared operating geography, but it does not identify the locations of church services, Bible study or community outreach.
- The activity description suggests a local, face-to-face outreach model, but there is insufficient evidence to determine whether this extends across multiple neighbourhoods or takes place at rotating venues.
- The registered contact address is not confirmed evidence of a worship, service-delivery or public-facing site. The Charity Commission record also states that the charity does not own or lease land or property.
- No material partnerships, subsidiary organisations, delivery venues or externally operated projects were identified in the evidence reviewed.
- The most recently filed annual return covers the year ending 31 March 2025 and reports zero income and expenditure; this limits confidence that the listed activities represent currently active, regularly delivered services rather than retained reporting text.
Additional evidence needed
- A current service timetable or official church communication confirming the venue of Sunday services and Bible-study sessions.
- Confirmation from the organisation of the neighbourhoods in which invitation-flyer distribution and face-to-face outreach currently take place.
- Any current venue-hire agreements, programme reports or partner records identifying delivery locations.
- A current annual return or activity report with location-specific information and evidence of active delivery.

Observations
A broad civic remit anchored in a faith community
The organisation appears to combine Christian worship with a wider place-based mission for Birmingham residents, including recreation, social welfare and vocational skills. Faith activity may therefore be intended as a base for wider community benefit rather than its sole purpose.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from a congregation whose remit is only religious: it may be a potential partner for community-space, inclusion and skills initiatives if its wider objects are operational.
Show evidence
“Its objects include advancing the Christian faith and providing a place of worship.”

Current operating model appears volunteer- and relationship-led
The available activity description suggests a low-infrastructure model centred on scheduled services, Bible study and direct local engagement by members. Community relationships may be built through personal contact as much as through formal programmes.
Why it matters
This may make the organisation locally approachable and adaptable, while also indicating that its reach could depend heavily on member capacity and informal networks.
Show evidence
“Church services are held on Sundays and Bible study takes place on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.”
Source:Organisation“Members distribute invitation flyers locally and speak face to face with people about Christianity and church services.”

There is a notable gap between stated purposes and evidenced activity
Although the organisation identifies poverty relief, education or training, and amateur sport among its activities, the only described delivery concerns worship, Bible study and evangelistic outreach. It is unclear whether the wider activities are inactive, delivered informally, or simply not reported here.
Why it matters
This is important for understanding both the organisation's practical role and unrealised potential. Clarifying the gap could reveal community assets or partnership opportunities that are presently difficult to see.
Show evidence
“The charity reports education or training, prevention or relief of poverty, religious activities and amateur sport.”
Source:Charity Commission“The activity description refers to church services, Bible study, flyer distribution and conversations about Christianity.”
Source:Organisation
- Whether vocational training, poverty relief, recreation or sport are currently delivered, and at what scale.
- Who uses the organisation's facilities beyond worshippers, including young people and non-Christian Birmingham residents.
- Whether the organisation works with schools, local groups, funders or other faith and community organisations.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports or activity records showing programmes, participant numbers and outcomes.
- Information on facilities, staffing or volunteers, local partnerships and the communities reached.
