TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2021
Background
The Kings Family Church’s exists to outwork the Biblical mandate of The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39) through an apostolically led Leadership Team.
As a Church, we look to positively impact our local community through the Biblical principles of Fellowship, Worship, Discipleship, Pastoral Care, with a heart and commitment for Outreach and Evangelism.
The Kings Family Church aims to reflect the community it serves. We are a multigenerational, multi-cultural Church, that welcomes everyone. The Church works hard to create a culture where people feel welcome, valued, loved, and accepted, and can find their place in ministry.
Impact Of Covid-19
The King’s Family Church continues to serve the community in a world that is learning to live with COVID-19. The Church operated in accordance with National Lockdown restrictions and Government guidelines, meaning that during 2021, sometimes the Church family met inperson, and sometimes met online using Live-Stream.
COVID-19 continues to present its challenges, yet the Church continues to rise to these challenges. The Church has continued to take additional precautions to prevent the spread of any future infection.
Vision
In 2021, we began the New-Year meeting online, inspired by a 2 -Part (pre-recorded) message from our Assemblies of God Zone Leader, encouraging us to ‘Dream Again’.
This was followed by our Church Minister sharing Vision for the year. The Church Vision recognises that we will go through seasons; namely: A Season of Repentance, A Season of Restoration, A Season of Rebuilding and A Season of Re-Purposing.
We are believing that this will lead to a time of Revival; believing that we will experience the fullness of God’s blessing through being obedient in responding to the Word of God.
Leadership
The Church recognised the need to strengthen its leadership team, leading to the appointment of 3 Elders in March 2021, recognising their calling and Ephesians 4:11 Spiritual Gifts in Pastoral Care, Teaching, Discipleship, and Evangelism. The Elders were formally commissioned in a service on 30[th] May 2021.
7
The Managing Trustees also saw the importance of the role of the Operations Manager in the outworking of Vision, and formally recognised the role of the Operations Manager as a member of the Leadership Team.
The Senior Leader, Leadership Team and Governance Team also recognise the need for a Council of Reference to approach in the event of needing greater wisdom in decision making. From time to time, the Church may approach The AoG Zone Leader (Spiritual), The AoG Operations Team (Legal), AoG Local Church Pastors and Leaders (Spiritual), The CTHLP (Churches Together in Hucknall, Linby & Papplewick) Chair & Local Ministers (Spiritual), and professional people with specific experience (e.g. finance, building, etc.)
The Senior Leader continues to lead the team through Apostolic Leadership, with a Prophetic ministry being recognised throughout the Leadership Team. The Church is well structured for growth and has embraced the ambitious vision for the future of the Church.
Assemblies of God
The Church remains affiliated to ‘The Assemblies of God UK’ denomination of Churches.
The Senior Leader continues to connect with ‘Assemblies of God’ through attendance at the annual National Leadership Conference. In 2021, due to the Harrogate Convention Centre being used for purposes relating to the national pandemic, the National Leadership 3-Day Conference was held online.
The Senior Leader, along with representatives of the Leadership and Governance teams, attend the Assemblies of God, Zone Meetings, where possible. These are held 2-3 times a year, again, held online throughout 2021.
The Senior Leader is also connected to a local hub of Assemblies of God Ministers, for mutual encouragement, discernment, support, and wise counsel.
Churches Together in Hucknall, Linby & Papplewick (CTHLP)
The King’s Family Church maintains strong connections with ‘Churches Together in Hucknall, Linby & Papplewick’ (CTHLP), a group of local Churches of all denominations belonging to Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CBTI).
The Senior Leader continues to attend monthly local Minister’s Meetings, for prayer, discussion and collective ministry. These meetings provide the forum to strengthen links across Churches in the town and promote closer working to meet shared objectives.
Christians in our town and local villages participated in a ‘Good Friday’ shared service that was held online in 2021 and a Churches Together Annual General Meeting.
Sunday Worship
The Church is known for its warm, friendly welcome, and for having a strong friendship amongst the congregation.
8
‘In-Person’ Sunday Worship Services continue to be led by committed, spiritually gifted and well-respected people, leading to worship, preaching, and teaching that is inspired by God. Sunday Services are also available to join in on Live-Stream and Catch-Up. The Church has a strong commitment to praying together and to Bible study. The Biblical principle of ‘Breaking of Bread’ remains an integral part of Sunday Worship.
The Church has a commitment to Discipleship, teaching the principles of ‘Holy Living’.
Special Services
The Church continued to meet in-person and online on the following key events in the Church calendar: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Morning Sunrise, Easter Day, Pentecost Sunday, Remembrance Sunday, and a series of Christmas, Advent and Christmas Carol Services.
Celebrations & Funerals
The Church officiated and celebrated a wedding in 202, which was held in the Church and was a blessing to all who attended.
Following illness and in some cases, from the effect of COVID-19, sadly, the Church saw a number of deaths in our Church family and extended Church family. We shared the privilege of supporting families in their time of grief, and officiating at funeral services, some that were significantly impacted by Government restrictions.
Prayer & Bible Study
In September 2021, the Leadership Team agreed to make Bible Study and Collective Prayer more accessible than ever before, by offering hybrid Bible Studies, and Prayer Meetings that were both In-person and Online, covering both morning and evening to increase accessibility.
The opportunity to stay behind and receive prayer ministry after the Sunday Worship service has also been re-introduced.
The Church operates a Prayer Chain where a group of Church members respond to requests for personal prayer.
Discipleship & Spiritual Growth
The Church Leadership Team is committed to teaching the Bible, with a commitment to providing teaching and growing Disciples.
The Church has made engaging in Bible Studies more accessible than ever before, with the introduction of ‘Hybrid’ Discover Nights (i.e. In-Person and on Live-Stream).
The first 3 Hybrid Teaching session were on the subjects of: Worldliness, Honour, and The Holy Spirit. Other notable teaching included looking at the life of ‘Jesus’ Through the Eyes of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
9
The Church has continued to distribute ‘UCB Word for Today’ daily devotional materials to minister into people’s lives and to encourage people to grow in Spiritual maturity.
House-Groups
Members of the Congregation are encouraged to belong to a ‘House -Group’. Normally, House-Groups would meet regularly for Prayer, Bible Study and for social activities as small groups in people’s homes. At the end of 2021, the groups are continuing to meet online, or by using other communication methods, for example, text, telephone calls and the use of social media apps such as WhatsApp. We anticipate carrying out a House-Group review, leading to the re-launch of in-person House-Groups in 2022.
Pastoral Care
The Church has maintained it’s focus on providing Pastoral Care post Covid-19. During 2021, the operation of the Pastoral Care Team was reviewed and new procedures were established. The Head of Pastoral Care has introduced a measure to ensure that the Church provides Pastoral Care to all of its members. There is a method in place for establishing when to send cards, flowers, make phone-calls, make hospital visits, etc, and who by.
Data Protection Training has been provided to every member of the Pastoral Care Team.
Evangelism
The Church is committed to sharing the Gospel and has widened its accessibility, by reviewing its methods and materials. A ‘What is Christianity’? written Gospel message, which had been adopted an in use has now been recorded and is available to view on the Church website. The Church is already preparing to extend accessibility by making this message available on CD, DVD, and on Social Media.
The Church is also preparing to resume its ‘Reaching Every House (with the Gospel) in Hucknall’ campaign early in 2022.
The Church celebrated Christmas with a Christmas Message, spoken at our ‘Carols in the Community’ Carol (Outdoor) Service, held in pedestrianised area of the town.
The Church also recognises the need to ‘Remember Loved Ones’ as Christmas approaches and held its annual ‘Remembering Loved Ones’ service of remembrance in-person and online in November 2021.
Midweek Ministries
The Church was pleased to be able to re-launch ‘The Living Room’; a group that meets weekly to support the social and spiritual needs of people over the age of 50 in our community. Here, a wide range of age-appropriate activities takes place every Wednesday. A dedicated team of Volunteers work incredibly hard to continually reach out to older people and care for their wellbeing. The group opens with an inspiring ‘Thought for the Day’, followed by a vast array of quizzes, games, activities, and entertainment, while making use of our Connect Coffee House for refreshments.
10
With the exception of periods of National Lockdown, the Church re-opened its Coffee House, called ‘Connect’, which currently operates 2 mornings a week. The Coffee House is staffed by a great team of volunteers, supported by a part time ‘Coffee House CoOrdinator’. Our Coffee House provides a meeting place for people of all ages. The strength of Connect Coffee House lies in providing a space where people can catch up over coffee in a friendly and welcoming environment at affordable prices. There is a Children’s area and space for groups of people that cannot be found in most Coffee Houses. After a slow start following the pandemic, the Coffee House is growing again.
Renew Wellbeing
Our heart and Vision is for the Church to become a place where ‘Life-Changing’ ministries take place. One of the ministries we are launching is ‘Renew at King’s (Connected to Renew Wellbeing)’. The Church is pleased to have already appointed the team, completed the process for legal compliance, planned how the ministry will operate, carried out team training, and have a launch date planned for the beginning of 2022. We believe that this will be a life-changing ministry going forward and look forward to reporting its progress at our next AGM.
Media Use And Communication
The Church has continued to invest in equipment and training in the use of modern media and technology to outwork its mandate and Charitable objectives.
The Church website has been enhanced, and the weekly service is available on Live-Stream and Catch-Up. We continue to embrace the use of social media and the Church makes a greater use of social networking sites to connect with the wider community.
The Church continues to use modern technology to communicate with its members through a newsletter subscription service. Newsletters have led to a more focussed method and central point for Church communications.
Supporting Local Charities
The Church continues to support the work of the local ‘Hucknall Engage Food Distribution Project’, which operates through Churches Together in Hucknall, Linby & Papplewick. The Church collects weekly food donations to support the local foodbank, with a special offering of food taken at our Harvest Festival Service.
In 2021, we also saw a great response to a one-off appeal for the collection of tooth-brushes to support the work of ‘The Street Kitchen’. A local charity based in Nottingham City Centre.
Legalities:
The Managing Trustees operate and maintain a ‘Compliance Matrix’ to manage and evidence its Charity governance and compliance. There are currently 5 portfolios (Charity Administration, Finance, Facilities, Health and Safety and Coffee House), each with delegated responsibility; being effectively managed by the team of 4 Managing Trustees.
11
Throughout 2021, the Trustee’s continued to meet every month (sometimes in-person and sometimes online – in accordance with Government Guidance) to discuss matters of compliance and consider key financial decisions. Any area where action is required are identified, discussed and a plan of action is agreed.
The Church was effective in responding quickly to the frequent changes caused by the global pandemic. Risk Assessments were regularly reviewed, and all Health & Safety concerns were addressed in response to those frequent periodic changes in legislation.
The Church continues to ensure compliance by the servicing of all equipment, portable appliances, the servicing and testing of alarms; fire-prevention equipment, amongst an array of other tasks outlined in a well-managed portfolio for facility compliance.
In 2021, the Church held a ‘Maintenance Day’ to carry out some basic maintenance, which included: repainting the toilets, repainting the exterior wall, using anti-slip paint to renew the front and rear entrance pathways, repairing and repainting the fence, along with repairing potholes in the concrete. A number of other periodic property inspections are also managed.
In line with its responsibility for Child Protection and the Protection of Vulnerable Adults, DBS checks remain current and are reviewed annually.
The King’s Family Church continues to comply with food safety standards and maintains its 5-star Food Safety rating from the Local Authority.
The Key-holder Policy has also been reviewed and refreshed.
