Shiloh Pentecostal (Central) Trust
Charity 277858
Overview
Summary
Shiloh Pentecostal (Central) Trust appears to operate primarily as a faith-based institution whose religious activity is intended to extend beyond congregational worship into leadership formation and missionary outreach. Its charitable purpose combines evangelism, poverty relief and education, suggesting a broad public-benefit mandate, but the available evidence gives much stronger visibility to its religious operating model than to any distinct poverty-relief or educational delivery.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Aston
Confidence: low
The Central Trust’s current Charity Commission record directly reports that it operates in Birmingham City. Its Chair and another trustee are also trustees of the separately registered Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship (Birmingham). A Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship church-network page identifies a Birmingham church. This supports a reasonable inference that the Trust’s Birmingham activity is connected to the Birmingham fellowship, but the available evidence does not explicitly state that the Central Trust itself delivers services from, owns, leases or controls a particular site.
- Charity Commission, SHILOH PENTECOSTAL (CENTRAL) TRUST, charity no. 277858, full print record
The Trust reports that it operates in Birmingham City; its activities are religious services, theological training and missionary activities. Its current trustees include Rev Floralene Alenda Norville and Barbara Elaine Mangove, both of whom are also listed as trustees of Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship (Birmingham). - Charity Commission, SHILOH PENTECOSTAL FELLOWSHIP (BIRMINGHAM), charity no. 1133580, contact-information record
The separately registered Birmingham fellowship gives its address in Aston, Birmingham. - Shiloh Dalston Church, Contact Us page
The page describes Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship as having churches in several UK locations and identifies Shiloh Pentecostal Church Birmingham.
Remaining uncertainties
- There is direct current evidence that the Central Trust operates in Birmingham City, but no current Trust annual report, project information or official Trust website was available to identify the Birmingham services, their frequency or their precise venue.
- The Birmingham fellowship is not explicitly identified as a site operated by the Central Trust.
- The evidence does not establish that the Trust serves Aston ward, other Birmingham wards, or Birmingham citywide; it supports only a possible operational connection to the Birmingham fellowship.
- No material partnership arrangement between the Central Trust and the Birmingham fellowship is documented in the sources consulted; shared trustees and common Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship branding indicate an organisational connection but do not prove a formal delivery partnership.
- The Central Trust reports no owned or leased land or property, so its Birmingham activity may be delivered through independently held church premises or other arrangements.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, annual return narrative or official Central Trust statement naming its Birmingham congregation, services and delivery venue.
- Confirmation from the Central Trust or Shiloh Pentecostal Fellowship (Birmingham) of the legal and operational relationship between the two charities.
- Current programme, worship, training or outreach information showing whether activity is confined to the Birmingham fellowship or delivered elsewhere in Birmingham.

Observations
Faith is the organisation's central organising mechanism
The available evidence suggests that worship, theological training and missionary work are not separate strands but a connected model: religious services sustain the faith community, training develops religious capacity, and mission extends that capacity outward.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the Trust from a charity that merely supports religious activity financially. It appears to build and reproduce a faith-led network through both local practice and outward-facing mission.

The Trust has an outward-looking rather than solely local remit
Its reference to missionary activity both at home and abroad suggests that the organisation may connect a local religious base to wider national or international relationships and communities.
Why it matters
This indicates that its civic role may be shaped by networks beyond its immediate place. Understanding its partners, mission destinations and reciprocal relationships would be important before treating it as a purely local organisation.

Poverty relief and education are stated purposes but weakly evidenced in practice
The Trust may understand poverty relief and education as outcomes of its religious mission, or may deliver them through activities not captured in the available description. At present, neither is visible as a distinct operational strand.
Why it matters
This is a useful gap to investigate: it affects how the Trust should be understood as a potential contributor to social support, learning or community partnerships beyond religious services.

- Whether poverty relief extends beyond informal or mission-linked support.
- Who participates in theological training and whether it serves a wider church network.
- Which communities, places and partner organisations are involved in home and overseas mission.
Remaining uncertainties

- Information on mission partners, training participants and any poverty-relief or educational projects.
