Structure, Governance & Management
New Life Church Centre is constituted by Deed of Trust dated 24[th ] October 1996 and is registered with the Charity Commission, charity Number 1059123.
New Life Church Centre Trustees are appointed to the board by recommendation of the chairperson and by a majority vote. A new trustee will be already familiar with the work of the charity, as they are drawn from within the church congregation with due regard given to their skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. However, there may be a good reason why an appointed trustee will not be a member of the church.
For any future newly appointed trustees, a copy of the governing document will be provided to them, along with full training and links to guidance from the Charity Commission and the policies and procedures of the charity.
Directions relating to the charitable trust are made by the trustees in consultation with the leadership team, who are responsible for governing the life, vision and teaching of the church. The day-to-day management and decisions on expenditure and activities are decided by the leadership team and volunteers in charge of different teams and departments of the church. The church is led by the Leadership team that includes the Pastor, Associate leader and two elders.
In 2022 two trustees were appointed to the board, Rachel Langley and Leanne Russell.
Names of Senior Staff with Delegated Responsibilities
Malcolm Bull was appointed as Pastor in 1985 and employed by New Life Church Centre on a self-employed basis working part time until his retirement on the 26th March 2022.
Elim supported us in the recruitment process and Rev Tom Skelton was appointed as Pastor on the 26th March 2022 and works three days a week.
Rachel Langley is appointed as Associate Leader and works 15 hours per week, managing church administration and supporting our church and community programmes.
Charities Objectives and Purposes
New Life Church was established in January 1936, the sole purpose of the church has always been to spread and promote the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who commanded and commissioned all his disciples and followers to go into all the world and preach the gospel (Mark 16:15-18).
The charity which is a Christian church, has the following objectives and purposes as stated in its Governing document:
-
Advancement of the Christian faith in the United Kingdom
-
To provide relief and aid to persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are aged.
The object of all activities at New Life Church Centre is to operate in accordance with its Statement of Faith as stated in the governing document.

Statutory Declaration on Public Benefit
The Church continues to carry out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. When planning and reviewing the programme of activities, the trustees and church leaders have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities for the advancement of religion.
The trustees and church leaders are committed to ensuring the church plays its part not only in the local community but also further afield. In the same way, Church members are encouraged to live out their faith in their individual local communities and neighbourhoods.
The Trustees and church leaders consider that the Church’s programme of activities, summarised below, provides benefit both to those who worship at the Church and the wider community of New Life Church Centre, Birmingham and beyond.
Summary of Charities Activities, Performance and Achievements
Sundays
The Church holds one service of worship each Sunday, with communion being served on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the Month. These services are open to the general public, services are advertised on the church’s website and live-streamed on our YouTube channel. In addition to the general advertising of the main Sunday services, invitations to special events, such as Easter and Christmas services, are regularly advertised on our social media platforms.
During 2022, the Church had 48 adult members and 6 children under the age of 11. This was a 20.2% increase on the previous year with a regular average of 43 people attending on a Sunday. The age range of the church is from 12 months to 83 years of age. The majority of the Church’s activities are open to the public and the Church welcomes its congregation from all cultural backgrounds, with the aim of ensuring each member has the appropriate opportunity to engage with and benefit from the Church’s activities.
Prayer
The Church also encourages its members in the activity of prayer. This is emphasised in the local Home Group activities, through the church’s WhatsApp group responding to prayer requests as well as meeting for prayer in person each week.
Life Groups
Members of the congregation are encouraged to join Small Groups, these groups provide a smaller format for Bible teaching, encouragement and prayer. Life Groups are co-ordinated by an elder, and each group is led by respected members of the Church. In addition to Bible teaching and prayer, Home Groups are also designed to provide pastoral support and opportunities for developing friendship. During 2022 three weekly life groups ran on a Monday, Thursday and Sunday evening with 33% of church members attending a group.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral support was provided by the Pastor and elder, this would include home and hospital visits when member were sick, unwell or feeling overwhelmed. Regular Pastoral visits are provided to offer ongoing support, counselling, encouragement and spiritual guidance.

Children and Youth
Sunday school (Life Kids) runs every Sunday morning during the service for children aged 4-11 years and is run by church volunteers. It offers a range of activities that are planned to help young children have a greater understanding of God, Jesus and the Bible. The sessions hope to give children the opportunity to learn about values of Christ and in a simplified way how these apply in our daily lives and relationships. One week each month the children are invited to attend Family service and this is planned as an interactive service to involve the children
A youth session runs every Sunday during the Sunday morning service for young people aged 11-16 years young. Our young people are encouraged to engage in sung worship before heading out to their group where they spend together. The sessions focus on encouraging them in their value, reinforcing christian foundations and values through discussion, activities and team games.
In early 2020 the trustees and leaders recognised a need to develop our youth programme. The decision was made to partner with Elim Pioneers, a youth program that supports churches in developing youth leaders and providing support for a 12 month period to plan and launch a youth group. This was postponed due to covid but in September 21, Pioneers started working with us and our young people. On the 27th January a youth group called Limitless was launched on Thursday evenings. The group ran for our own church youth and their friends as well as young people in our local community. During 2022 there was an average 32 11-16 year olds attending each week.
Messy Church
We ran two messy church events during 2022 at Easter and Christmas. These events were each attended by over 30 children and their parents, with 87% of children/families being from the community and not church members. They provide the opportunity for families to engage with church in an informal and fun way, learning about Christian values and beliefs through fun and at times messy craft activities, interactive stories and by being community together and sharing a meal. Are aim in 2023 is to return to running four messy church events, 1 each quarter with Easter, Summer, Autumn and Christmas themes. These events provides us the opportunity to engage with families in our communities and therefore strengthening our position within the community.
Worship Team
We are so very blessed at NLCC to have 9 musicians and singers to serve on our worship team. During the pandemic the worship team were unable to meet and rehearse and were limited with numbers on stage due to the 2m distancing. We had felt as a team that this had impacted the team. In 2022 we set out with a plan to gather the worship team to talk through the vision and mission of the team going forward. The team meets to rehearse new songs for Sunday services and seasonal services and events.
The vision for the future is to continue build and equip the worship team, by developing worship leaders, recognising gifting and providing the opportunity to develop musicians, as well as support younger musicians.
Our mission as a worship team is to passionately lead our congregation into transformative worship encounters by skill fully blending contemporary and traditional music, fostering a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere where lives are changed while we offer up our very best praise to Jesus Christ.”

Community Work
Cafe Connect
Cafe connect continued to run through 2022 following its launch in May 2021. The cafe offers a welcome space to meet new people, to simply talk and enjoy a coffee and cake. The cafe is led by our associate leader and supported by volunteers. The cafe is an informal space set up with tables and chairs, providing plenty of tea and coffee and cakes, there has also been the addition of a pool table and darts board.
The Cafe is attended by church members and people from the local community and runs as a free cafe but donations are received on a weekly basis.
Over the year we have up to 15 attending with an average attendance of 11, 5 of those that attend do require transport, fortunately we have been able to meet this need through the generosity of several of our church members who attend being able to offer transport to and from the cafe.
In September 2021 we were approached by Wythall Council to be part of the Wythall Warm Hub network, offering a warm and welcoming space throughout the colder winter months. The Cafe can be a life line for some, providing the opportunity to get out of the house and meet people and in the process friendships are being made. For some it is the only time in the week they get to talk to someone face to face.
We have also been able to provide pastoral team visits to two of those that attend from our community.
In Their shoes
In Their shoes continues to provide support to the homeless in and around Birmingham. A greater focus now being on smaller towns like kings Norton, Cotteridge, Kings Heath, Maypole and Moseley. Donations of toiletries, warm clothing, hats, gloves, socks, underwear as well as snacks ie biscuits, crisps, chocolate bars, pot noodles are provided by church members and the local community along with financial donations that are used to purchase £5 Greggs Gift cards. The lead for In Their Shoes makes up bags of provisions which are handed out directly to those in need by the In Their Shoes lead and church members.
To compliment our community programmes, we are committed to working with other churches in the Birmingham/West Midlands area as an Elim Network church plus we regularly partner with local churches to deliver seasonal events to include an Easter and Christmas Trail in our local park for our local community, these historically are attended by over 200 children and their carers.
Wider Community Work
Throughout 2022 we have been developing a partnership with an outside organisations called Safe Families, a christian charity that works with 35+ local authorities around the UK. Safe Families offer hope, belonging and support to children, families and care leavers; they do this primarily, but not exclusively, with and through local churches. Safe Families have identified a number of families in our local community needing support. We hope to establish good links with those in our community that need practical support and help and to improve our reach to the lonely elderly and vulnerable by engaging with community assets.
6
Our Pastor works as a critical friend in partnership with the local High School, the role being a member over the governors in the school provides the opportunity to support the continuous development and improvement of the schools ethos, governance and philosophy. Supporting the school to look at the education of local children as something measured by more than exclusively academic metrics. Introducing insights from other third sector organisations to offer different approaches to the management and oversight of the schools operation, providing feedback to help assess how effectively stakeholders in the school are being served by the school.
Wider Missionary Work
The Church continues to be involved in and support Christian organisations financially and with prayer, in both the UK and overseas. Donations have been made to Asialink, Good News For Everyone, Safe Families and Elim Missions totalling £500.
Volunteers
Like most churches, we rely on an a small army of willing volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the Church and to keep the fabric in good order. The list of jobs undertaken is large and ranges from serving on a team ie refreshments, children and youth, pastoral care, communion and worship team. We thank all the volunteers who contribute to the ministry of New Life Church Centre.
Social Media
Following the purchase of a new camera and Mac computer we are able to live stream our Sunday service on YouTube. Enabling those that are unwell or unable to attend to be able to view and join in online. Having service videos available after the event has also meant that new people have been able to connect with us. Family members and people who used to be connected to NLCC have also watched after the event. We have seen an increase throughout the year with people choosing to engage and watch our online content.
We continued to use Facebook and instagram as platforms to share with the wider community our events, online services, updates on church life as well as share encouragements. The church has continued to use WhatsApp throughout 2022 to share updates, prayer requests and church information. Church members can make prayer requests and support one another as well share links to Christian resources and music.
The Church Building
Hall Hire
The church building continues to be hired out to a local business, Funky Monkeys that offers stay and play sessions for children aged 0-4 years to attend along with their parents/grandparents/ carers. These sessions provide local families a space to meet new parents where children can learn, play and socialise. These sessions ran weekly, three mornings per week for 32 weeks of the year.
These stay and play sessions had 40-50 families in attendance across the three sessions and was made up of both local families and those that travel from outside Wythall.
The hire of the building to a local business helps provides another opportunity to open our doors and serve the needs of our local community in a practical way.

Church Maintenance
Following a reorganisation and sort out of equipment in our store room we were able to sell equipment no longer used and raise funds of £625.20.
New chairs were purchased to replace aging chairs for the baby, toddler and parent group and the tables and chairs were purchased for the Sunday school classroom, as the tables and chairs were becoming too small for the growing group, ensuring the children and sit and carry out their activities comfortably.
Compliance
Safeguarding
Safeguarding practice has been a fundamental part of NLCC . The church has a congregation of less than 100 members which serves the local community by offering a number of different community groups for mums and babies, toddlers , the elderly and youth group for 11-14 year olds. In addition to this the church also offer Sunday school and young people sessions on a Sunday as well as a pastoral service that supports the sick and elderly in their homes.. As a small church many leaders double up on positions of responsibility, these being a mixture of paid staff and volunteers who work with the community.
A safeguarding audit has been completed which covers practice at NLCC. As stage one of the audit the leads for safeguarding have undertaken the following actions. The safeguarding coordinator and deputy have reviewed all of the policies, ensured that all staff and volunteers have an up to date DBS. In early 2023 we plan for all leaders and volunteers involved with the above mentioned teams will have completed a Level 1 safeguarding training.
To highlight the importance of safeguarding a safeguarding notice board has been erected in the main hall of the church with details of the safeguarding leads, numbers for ‘ThirtyOne/Eight safeguarding organisation for further advice and guidance. We have also made available the following policies for viewing in the church foyer.
-
Health and safety
-
Anti Bullying
-
Online safety Flowchart
-
Code of Conduct
-
Photo and Media Consent
Now that we are meeting the key priorities for safeguarding, we push on to undertake any further requirements as part of stage 2 of the audit. We will assess ourselves against the safer recruitment requirements and aim to follow high standards outlined for both staff and volunteers in ‘Working together to Safeguard Children 2020. We look to introduce a Safeguarding Sunday spot so our congregation to have the opportunity to ask questions about any queries they have, to aid their understanding on safeguarding.

Fire Safety
A fire risk assessment was carried out in May 2023, identifying fire hazards and risks.
The Fire safety policy was reviewed in October 2022, it was identified that an updated evacuation plan was required and for training to be provided to three fire wardens. A fire safety service and any necessary maintenance is carried out twice yearly with the fire extinguishers serviced yearly by Churchesfire. Weekly fire alarm tests are carried out along with monthly emergency lighting checks and any faults reported.
GDPR
Both the Data Protection and Data Privacy Notice were reviewed in November 2022, as a result the church directory was updated and data removed of those no longer members or who have no legitimate interest in NLCC.
Health and Safety
Risk assessments for all groups and events were reviewed and updated and all actions completed. We have identified 7 staff and volunteers to complete a Level 3 First Aid in the work place course in 2023, ensuring there is a first aider at all our services and events.
Yearly PAT Testing of all electrical equipment is carried out yearly by a qualified electrician.
Church Partners
We are in partnership with Elim, a movement of Pentecostal churches that provide resources, training, ministry, consultancy and support.
The covenant agreement is a covenant between New Life Church Centre and the Elim Network to work together with other member Churches, ministries and their various departments to develop common vision and values and to achieve common goals. The Elim Network commits, by this covenant, that New Life Church Centre shall be a member of the Elim Network and a partner with its members, including the Elim Pentecostal Church, but shall have independent governance. This covenant and agreement has been finalised in February 2021.
Income and Endowments
The funds are provided by regular giving of church members and those who attend regularly. All church funds are administered through the Trust for the benefit of the church, and other Christian work.
Funds are raised by church members tithes/giving, either from cash/cheque given during in person services or by online giving. Total tithes/offerings/giving in 2022 was £34,804.07 with £23,984 from online payments and £10,820.07 from cash/cheques therefore 69.2% was from online giving and 31.1% from in person giving during services. This compares to 70.2 % of online payments and 29.8% of in person payments in 2021. Online reduced slightly due to people returning to giving in person at services now there are no longer any restrictions due to covid.
Additional income is £4,694, £1740 from hall hire and £2954 from kids, youth and community activities.

Reserves Policy
There is currently no reserves policy, this is to be discussed and addressed in the future.
Financial Summary
Statement of Liabilities and assets:
The Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes the cash at bank and fixed assets, the only liability we have is the accountancy fee which is paid straight after accounts production.
Financial Overview
Following the Pandemic, normality resumed in 2022. Our total receipts for the year were £52,485 of which £34,804 came from Tithes, Offerings, Donations & Gifts, this is compared to £34,980 in 2021. Gift Aid was claimed in December 2022 for 6th April 2021 to Christmas 2022, which totalled £12,096, compared to £14,160 in 2021, the reason for the drop is due to it covering 3 more months, being April 2019-April 2021.
The increase in receipts is due to the income from venue hire being up £910 and our activities income from our children, youth & community programs bringing in £2,954.
Our expenses during the year was £63,155, which was up from £32997 in the prior year which was expected. This was an increase of £30,158, £18,464 of this is mainly due to the fact that ministry payments to Rev Malcolm Bull were reduced in 2021 due to covid and the increase in salary to the newly appointed Pastor. Rev Tom Skelton, an Elim accredited Minister was appointed in March 2022 and to reflect his qualifications and experience guidance was sort from Elim. The recommendation given was an annual ministry package of £25,000 plus pension.
Along with the appointment of our new Pastor, came some one-off costs for his relocation from Aberdeen to Birmingham, totalling £6,278, these costs would normally be covered by Elim, but due to us only being an affiliate (ECI Church) at the time we had to honour this expectation. This is broken down as £3,896 moving costs, £332.13 for Flights & Accommodation for the Interview, £2,050 was paid upfront to Warren & Co to secure a rental property for them, (£975 will be repaid by end of 2023 as agreed and £1,075 will be returned to the church upon the rental property contract ending). Another one-off cost was a retirement gift of £1,000 which was agreed by the trustees in recognition of Pastor Malcolm Bulls 37 years of service.
Other one off expenses came in the form of equipment as follows; two further Xbox’ were purchased for Limitless Youth £604.40, recognising the value during the pandemic of being able to offer an online service we invested in a new Camera, Mac & Monitor costing £2,147.96 to facilitate this going forward. We purchased a Coffee Machine for the kitchen to aid our church/ community café & catering facilities £479.97.
LED Lights had been previously purchased by our media and tech lead for the sole use and benefit of the church, as Trustees a decision was made that this should be reimbursed as they were a fixture on the stage in the building and used weekly, we agreed on a price of £600, this was less than what the cost would have been to replace them. We also upgraded our Toddler Group Chairs x25 at £509.70 and Kids Church Table & Chairs for use in Sunday School £472.75.
10
Overall, despite the additional costs during the year, our Cash in Bank and Hand still remains strong at £88,391. Trustees & Leadership will be in discussion of how and where to utilise some of the remaining funds in various areas in the coming year to make ongoing improvements to the building and facilities offered to our members and the community.
Restricted Funds
We received a donation of £2,300 for the purchase of the new camera, Mac & software, this was purchased within the year for £2,147.96, the surplus £152.04 is no longer restricted as per donors’ request. There are no further restricted funds to report.
Future Designated Funds
In 2023 the Leadership are planning on buying new comfortable chairs for the main sanctuary approximately x 80. They are also going to be looking at further improvements to media and visual technology, i.e. projectors, presenting software, IT/screen etc.
Particulars of Any Outstanding Guarantee Given by The Charity
The Trustees declare that the charity has given no guarantee where potential liability is outstanding at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities.
Particulars of Any Outstanding Debt
The Trustees declare that the charity has no outstanding debts which are secured by an express charge on any of the assets of the charity at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities
Responsibilities of trustees

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
