Overview

Summary

Sources:Civic AtlasAI-assisted

The Net Perry Common Pentecostal Church appears to function as both a worshipping community and a neighbourhood-use venue. Its role extends beyond religious services through regular activities for children, older people and the wider community, suggesting a locally rooted model in which church premises, volunteers and pastoral relationships are made available for social connection. The available evidence indicates particular potential as an intergenerational community anchor, though its partnerships, reach and practical role in wider local support systems remain unclear.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Perry Common

Confidence: high

The organisation’s official website gives Perry Common as the location for its regular worship, chat club, lunch club, prayer and Bible-study activities. Its stated vision specifically identifies caring for neighbours in the Perry Common area, and the Charity Commission record confirms community, children’s, older people’s and lunch-club activities.

    Lists regular Sunday services, Monday chat club, Tuesday lunch club and Wednesday prayer/Bible study, all held in Perry Common; states a vision to care for neighbours in the Perry Common area.

    Records current activities including public worship, a weekly children’s club, an older people’s tea and friendship meeting, community use of the building, and a community lunch club.
Remaining uncertainties
  • The Charity Commission records Birmingham City as the charity’s operating area, but the available current evidence does not identify regular delivery sites or programmes elsewhere in Birmingham.
  • The official website says the congregation is drawn from across the Midlands and refers to possible external ministries, but this does not establish that the charity currently delivers services outside Perry Common.
  • No current, material delivery partnership extending the organisation’s operational geography was evidenced in the consulted official sources.
  • The organisation’s historic connection with Bordesley Green relates to a 2013 church merger and is not evidence of a current operational site or service there.
Additional evidence needed
  • A current annual report or service/impact report identifying the locations, catchments and frequency of all community programmes.
  • Current information from the organisation on any external ministries, outreach venues or formally delivered partnership activity.
  • Confirmation of whether the Perry Common building is the sole active delivery site and whether community groups using the building are run directly by the charity.

Observations

Sources:Civic AtlasAI-assisted

  • A faith-based community anchor

    The church appears to use its religious purpose and physical premises as a platform for wider community activity, rather than treating worship and community use as separate functions.

    Why it matters

    This helps explain the organisation as a potentially accessible local asset: its building and congregation may enable activities that smaller community groups could struggle to host independently.

    Show evidence

    • “The objects permit the premises to be used as a place of public worship, religious instruction and other charitable purposes.”

    • “Community involvement, use of the building.”

      Source:Organisation

  • Regular contact across generations

    Weekly children's activity, an older people's tea and friendship meeting, and a community lunch club suggest the organisation's distinctive contribution may be routine social connection across different life stages.

    Why it matters

    Regularity can be as important as the activity itself: recurring gatherings may reduce isolation, create trusted relationships and provide informal routes for identifying unmet needs.

  • Potentially broader support than its named activities reveal

    The charity's stated beneficiary groups and help types imply an intention to serve people with varied needs, including disabled people and the general public, but the practical form of that support is not yet visible.

    Why it matters

    This may indicate unrealised connective capacity, but it also highlights the need to distinguish declared charitable scope from services actually delivered.

    • “The charity helps children and young people, elderly people, people with disabilities and the general public.”

    • “The charity provides buildings, services, human resources, advocacy or advice and other charitable activities.”

    Remaining uncertainties

  • Whether the church works with schools, care providers, disability organisations or other local groups.
  • Who uses the activities, how many people attend and whether access is open beyond the congregation.
  • Whether its overseas aid and community-development purposes represent active programmes or broad charitable classifications.

    Additional evidence needed

  • Recent activity reports, timetables and attendance information for each community activity.
  • Evidence of building users, local partnerships, referral routes and participant feedback.
  • Details of accessibility, volunteer capacity and any current overseas-aid or employment-related work.
