Adore Church Directors Report For the Year Ended 31 August 2024

Structure, Governance and Management

Adore Church’s primary Governance document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated on 23rd May 1995 as amended by special resolution (s) dated 12th October 2015 as amended by certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 9th December 2015, 30 April 2021 and further updated change of name 6 July 2023. The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee.

Trustee recruitment, appointment and training

Trustees are approved and appointed by the Senior Leadership Team, who are the members of the Charity. Every effort is made to ensure that any new Trustee appointment will contribute significantly to the skills base of the team. Areas of experience and competence are actively examined as well as the need for a trustee to be local and familiar with the day-to-day activities of the Charity.

Having identified a potential candidate, one or other of the existing Trustees will be nominated to meet with and to appraise the potential Trustee as to the role and responsibilities of serving the charity in the capacity of a Trustee. Due to the size and nature of the Charity, we have adopted an informal training and induction process for new Trustees. This is achieved through interaction with the existing Trustees and through the provision of current documentation on the role and responsibilities of Trustees provided by the Charity Commission.

Organisational Structure

The Charity is organised so that the Trustees, who are also the Management Committee, meet regularly to manage its affairs. There is one full-time Senior Leader and a part-time Senior Leader who work together to manage the day-to-day administration of the Charity. They are assisted by a Staff Team which includes a full-time Children’s & Families Pastor, a part-time Operations Facilitator, a part-time Media & Production manager, a part-time Worship Pastor and a Young Adults and Connect Pastor worker employed via a T2 visa. The Senior Pastors oversee the Staff Team plus a number of additional voluntary team members.

Relationship with connected organisations

Adore Church is a Christian Church. The Senior Leaders meet regularly with other local church leaders at gatherings for connection & encouragement including ‘Time4Brum’ with monthly leaders’ prayer meetings and an annual joint Church Prayer event plus growing engagement with Aston Churches Together. Relational ministry connections developed with networks such as ‘Burn 24-7 UK’, David’s Tent and The Upper Room Network (TURN) based in Dallas, USA.

The Church is focused on providing financial support to several partner organisations that represent a range of charities providing support and ministry in local, national, and international contexts.

Locally the Church supported youthwork project ‘The Gap’ which provides detached youthwork services in North Birmingham as well as mentoring services to secondary schools and support with mental health. Activity this year included support for a fundraiser in May. Partnership continued to be built with TAWS (the Active Well Being Society) to assist building local community connections with a Team funded by Birmingham City Council. A successful community event was held in September 2023 with food, games, crafts & activities for local families.

Adore Church

Directors Report For the Year Ended 31 August 2024

Nationally the Church supported ‘Bethel Sozo UK’ leaders David & Christine West as well as the advocacy group ‘Christian Concern’. Bethel Sozo UK is a relational network of Churches committed to bringing inner healing and wholeness to individuals through prayer ministry. Christian Concern works to make Jesus and His ways known, to protect the freedom to live and speak for Him and to empower Christians to be compassionate and courageous ambassadors. During the year we hosted Andrea Williams and her team for a successful ‘sold-out’ day conference called ‘Courageous and Confident’ to inform and engage around a variety of subjects with speakers Andrea Williams, Tim Dieppe and Ben John. During the year a new partnership was developed with Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) with plans to launch a ‘Make Lunch’ club to serve the local community.

Internationally the Church supported the Kenyan educational project ‘Spurgeons Academy’. Based in the slum suburb of Kibera, Nairobi the child sponsorship program at Spurgeons Academy provides educational assistance as well as family support to addresses health & social needs. Support is provided for project Director Kenyanito Dudi to assist his leadership which is administrated through partner organisation ‘Global Care’. In March we welcomed Anita White, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Global Care, to share with the congregation about their ministry and invite members to support the childcare program. The Senior Leaders of the Church supported the 40th Anniversary celebration of Global Care in November with speaker Fiona Castle.

Support for the non-denominational Charity, ‘Open Doors’ assists persecuted Christians throughout the world through advocacy for the persecuted church. Although Open Doors is primarily a Christian charity it assists people of all faiths and none who experience the hardship suffered through the oppression of persecution. In November the Church hosted a leader’s lunch to explore some of the ministry of Open Doors among persecuted Christians throughout the world. Additional support was provided to ‘Mission Romania’ to enable funds and resources to be deployed to families and communities in need being served by Marius & Roxana Dancovici in Ploiesti, Romania.

Risk management

The Directors purpose to be aware of any major strategic, operational, and financial risks to the Charity. In the year ahead, all the major areas will be reviewed and kept up to date. The Church has a revised child protection policy and every adult who is involved in working with the children and young people in the Church is screened through independent body, ‘ThirtyOne:eight’. The Senior Leaders hold current enhanced DBS certificates as do members of the Staff Team. Public liability is covered by an insurance policy with the Charity specialist insurers Ansvar Insurance Company Limited. Regular reviews of the Charity’s financial status are held by the Trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects and its principal activity is that of the advancement of the Christian Faith. The principle charitable purposes of the Company in accordance with the objects of the Memorandum and Articles of Association are the advancement of the Christian faith; the furtherance of religious education; the relief of the poor and needy; the relief of the sick and elderly and for the benefit of other charitable bodies and institutions as the Directors in their absolute discretion see fit. When planning our activities for the year we have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and guidance for charities relating to the advancement of religion. During this period, the objects of the Charity were put into effect by the Senior Leaders and members of the Leadership Group in conjunction with a growing Staff Team and a wider grouping of Ministry Team leaders.

Adore Church Directors Report For the Year Ended 31 August 2024

Achievements and Performance

Investment continued to be made in the provision of excellent online resources through the expanding and training of team to serve within this valuable area of ministry. The Church continues to welcome a steady flow of online participants and subscribers to the live services with many in-person visitors expressing that the ‘digital door’ provided through the Church YouTube channel as being a key reason behind their visit. During the year total online views of services and media content since providing YouTube content exceeded 100,000 views.

The Prayer Room vision to facilitate weekly prayer gatherings continues to gain momentum. The Church seeks to establish more regular Worship and Prayer gatherings with a focus on building ‘House of Prayer’ vision and values into the Adore Church community. During the year this developed to include a pattern of early morning prayer meetings at 6am and evening meetings at 7pm each Tuesday. A growing team of musicians, prayer leaders and worship leaders are being trained to facilitate these weekly gatherings with vision to increase in the times ahead to a daily pattern of morning and evening prayer at the church premises.

The Prayer Room director facilitated a New Testament 24-day bible reading intensive with core members of the Team. The success of this initiative inspired a ‘Life of David’ bible reading plan which engaged over 60 participants. The Prayer Room team helped to resource a 26-day prayer vigil with daily prayer at 6am and 6pm called ‘Tend the flame’. A reference to Leviticus 6:13, these prayer gatherings were a direct response to a threatened repossession of the premises. A number of the worship team from the Prayer Room were invited to support the Night Stage program at the David’s Tent festival weekend in Malmsbury, an event that over 60 members of Adore attended.

The Senior Leader was invited to speak at a leaders’ conference with other ministers at an equipping conference in Brighton. During the year a series of architectural and design meetings were held with Alcester Designs to help get the Church ready to engage with building contractors to provide costings for the redevelopment of the premises at 76 Church Road.

Church Leadership development & training events

The Senior Leaders participated in a variety of leadership gatherings including conferences and retreats. The Staff Team are provided with ongoing training and development in their roles. During the year this included a Core Values Index training day provided by Ann Wallis of Hardwired Coaching with individual follow up sessions. Other training included Sozo Team training, training for the new TLG Make Lunch team, a Bible Society training event on the book of Romans, participation in a Prison Ministry team training breakfast and the development of a core ‘House of Prayer’ Team.

The Senior Leaders attended several leadership events including a gathering in Brighton with ministry colleagues. During the year connections with the Ministry Team at Upperroom Church in Dallas, USA were strengthened. This included the Senior Pastors attending the second TURN leaders gathering. During this visit they were invited to share testimony about the development of the Prayer Room at Adore Church. This valuable connection provides access to resources that enhance the growing vision to build a Church community that prioritises ministry to the Lord through regular patterns of prayer and worship. The Senior Leaders and several staff team members attended monthly online TURN gathering meetings with leaders from across the world for training and inspiration. The Staff Team followed a reading and discussion plan around Michael Miller’s book ‘His House, His Presence’. The Senior Leaders attended Manifest Presence conference at Jubilee Church in London with RT Kendall, Heidi Baker, Terry Virgo, Michael Miller & Tope Koleoso.

Adore Church Directors Report For the Year Ended 31 August 2024

Children and Youth ministry

A team of committed volunteers continued with the development of ministries for the children and young people of the church led by Matt Harris, Children & Families Pastor. The team has continued to strengthen the multiple age specific groups that run alongside Sunday Morning Services, this year that has included further development in the team and resources for 0-2yr olds. Investment has been made into materials to further the team's learning and growing as well as that of the children and young people thus developing a much higher level of Biblical literacy and understanding. Steps have been taken to deepen connections within the families community, specifically a families life group that seeks to connect little ones and teach and strengthen parents with teaching and prayer.

The youth group has continued to grow and develop throughout the year with investment being made into developing a more suitable room for the young people to use. This room is now the base for all youth activities and saw them take on the decorating and development of the room themselves. During the year there has been an increase in the connectedness between church groups and plans are being made to host city-wide events for young people which including the Birmingham Youth Prayer night with around 200 young people in attendance plus providing a worship team for a follow up Youth Event at Renewal Church in Solihull. Youth Nights have recruited more team members enabling us to host 'Levite Nights' to train, encourage and equip the young people in musical and team skills. During the year a successful Youth ‘lock-in’ event was held on the Church premises.

Social, gathering and ministry events

The year has seen a wide range of very positive events takes place to strengthen the community of the Church. Highlights included men’s and women’s socials and gatherings for worship, teaching and ministry, the launch of new small groups across the city plus an initiative to provide regular family gatherings for children and families. Two inspiring baptism services were held during the year with encouraging testimonies about deepening in faith. Seasonal events included Christmas guest services and an excellent Advent spiritual direction retreat as well as participation in the annual Good Friday walk of witness along the Soho Road in Handsworth. Art Sozo ministry and new Prophetic Art sessions provided valuable opportunity for creative expression and encounters with the Lord.

The worship team members have grown in leadership, skill, anointing and in their relationship with Jesus. Ministry to the Lord is a high priority and this is reflected in the investment in Team members, evidenced by 1-1’s coaching sessions with members of the team. Opportunities have been created for the Team to gather for fellowship and input to help build strong & supportive relationships. Other features included song writing gatherings and a valuable retreat day at Redhill Centre in Worcester with input from Burn-24/7 ministry leaders, Robin & Claire Dillamore, who also spoke powerfully at our Adore Church 1st Anniversary.

A vision lunch with an inspiring presentation of slides to highlight the phases of proposed developments was well received. Other significant events included hosting a truly inspiring first Passover meal celebration which helped around 50 Church members engage with the Hebrew roots of our Christian faith. Approaching 80 members attended a Life Foundations course spread over 9 sessions throughout the Autumn. Screenings of The Chosen series 4 were hosted at Church with a number of visitors attending as a result of social media promotions. A team were trained in readiness for the launch of the Make Lunch club. Other regular events included litter picking on streets local to the Church and Connect Lunches for newcomers. This year saw the development of a Prophetic ministry team facilitated by zoom calls and prophetic assignments for individuals assisted by written reports. Team building events continue to be made to help keep the premises and grounds tidy.

Adore Church

Directors Report For the Year Ended 31 August 2024

Financial review

The principal funding source is voluntary donations made by members and visitors to the church. The income for the year was £216,963 and expenditure was £260,671 resulting in an overall deficit of £43,708.

Reserves policy

The Company holds reserves in interest bearing accounts with quick access time frames. The Trustees aim to hold reserve funds from a level of three months to approaching six months of operating expenses in these accounts. This equates to a fund of between £57k to £114k. Current unrestricted cash reserves are £421,426 which includes funds to be made available to enable the redevelopment phases of 76 Church Road.

Plans for the future

As the Church continues to grow and develop the Staff Team will continue to expand to provide excellent leadership to resource these growing spaces with the aim to equip and develop the valuable teams of volunteers serving the vision of the Church. Plans for this year include the selection and appointment of a Team of Elders to help guard, guide and govern the Church alongside the Senior Leaders. This year the Church plans to connect with Samaritans Purse to partner with ‘Operation Christmas Child’ by becoming a resource centre and drop-off location. It is hoped that this will help build valuable connections with local schools, businesses, and individuals. The Church plans to continue to develop partnership links with Time4Brum Core Team to help serve the City through prayer and action. Events already planned include leadership gatherings with the new Bishop of Birmingham as well as a Christmas Carol service to be hosted at nearby Villa Park. The growing Prayer Room team plan to host a ‘Grammy’s’ evening to celebrate the development of the Team and their vision within this core area of ministry in the Church. Plans for the end of the year include a ‘Crossing Over’ event for New Year’s Eve open to all the Church family to include food, games, fellowship as well as prophetic ministry, worship and prayer to welcome in 2025. It is hoped that plans for the redevelopment of the premises will progress and that the Church will be able to secure the freehold for the premises, deemed essential to secure the financial and organisational security of the Church.

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Funds
