TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

The Report is for the financial year ending 31st December 2022.

The Charity exists for:

· the advance of the Christian religion to proclaim and further the Gospel of God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and by preaching and teaching the Christian faith.

The charity makes every effort to train people in its community in the Christian faith, to train leaders and equip young people so that the objectives of the Trust are achieved in an on-going and developing capacity.

The charity continues to develop its teaching and training programme in a variety of areas, and the church leadership is looking to be able to train members to fulfil different roles in preparation for responding to opportunities. A proportion of the church membership has been trained as Debt Advisors and they have given their time to serve the ministry of the Debt Advice Centre (which opened in 2009).

Overall Charity activity

In 2022 the church continued to build on the growth of 2021. With a whole year of meeting together at St Cedd’s the church began to see growth in membership. This came, predominantly, from folks from other nations…which was particularly encouraging.

The church leader remains an active member of Love Southend leadership team, and oversees the Churches Together in Leigh. Most meetings are now in person – which is very pleasing and increases effectiveness.

Sunday2Gether. A whole year of being based at St Cedd’s CoE for the Sunday gatherings has been good for the church. The church has learned how best to make use of the facilities available…and now we are seeing gradual but continual growth. There have been more visitors and more people being invited by church members.

The children’s work (called “The Zone”) still takes place in the chancel area which is separated by full screens from where the rest of the church are. It works very well – and there is good room to grow. We are indebted to those adults who have given much time to overseeing the children’s work. Particular mention and thanks should go to the leadership of Alison Lane and her helper Sue Dixon.

Pray2Gether. Members of the church still meet weekly online to pray for the church and for other churches, and other matters concerning the immediate area, the city, and the region. Gathering online is more attainable for folks that are spread across the city….and beyond to join in. We now have a Zoom account and so that is our main format. We often pray for those around us in the area of the church meeting place, we pray for the whole city. We pray for other churches in the vicinity of Leigh, and for the churches in the city area and their leadership.

KMAC (Kings Money Advice Centre)

With face-to face appointments and the KMAC team working together in the office, KMAC has bounced back to busyness very quickly. We have gained new clients…and (pleasingly) seen some clients no longer needing our services as they have become selfsustaining and debt free.

As well as working with some particularly needy clients we have also increased our engagement with a Tackling Poverty Strategy – headed up by the City Council. This has proved helpful and our input valued and appreciated. Hopefully we can help initiate some policy amendments and encourage further changes to practice and attitude by all those dealing with those in debt.

KINGSLEIGH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022

KMAC is becoming busy. Care is taken not to wear team members out, but it has always been challenging to “leave the work at the office” when lives are so severely challenged by debt…and other life challenges and situations that impact people negatively.

Looking ahead we would like to employ one of the KMAC Team as an administrative manager, which would enable more effective running of the office and it is hoped would release more time for clients work during any given week. The King’s Church Trustees are aware of this goal.

Relational Mission (RM).

King’s Church is in relationship with over 80 other churches throughout East Anglia and onto the continent, and further afield via Relational Mission. King’s Church usually participates in RM activities such as supporting mission on the continent, quarterly RM prayer nights, and leadership gatherings including those held in the South Essex area. These relationships are now in-person as well as using Zoom.

Church Leadership. The Leadership Team of two elders continues to function, however it is impacted by one of the elders having ongoing medical care for Long Covid. The leadership and Trustees are aware of the need to grow the leadership team to enable the growth and spread the load.

General Finance Comments. Church finances remain healthy for the size of the congregation. The ‘in-house’ covenanting scheme is successful and the Trustees and church leadership will continue to encourage people to make good use of this facility as it benefits the church greatly. However, the current level of income has meant that the employed Elder is still reimbursed on a part-time equivalent salary. The non-hiring of the Children’s Centre facility helped the church finances overall to the point where an amount was transferred into the savings account. But we are now hiring St Cedd’s on a Sunday. The church continues to be mindful of any needs within the church in order to support those in need. The church has also been able to give to causes away from Southend e.g. a church response as part of New Frontiers for provision for those in Ukraine.

The Trustees. The Trustees are currently 4 in number after successfully recruiting an additional Trustee two years ago. The Chairman expresses his sincere gratitude to the other 3 Trustees for all their faithful service.

We have every reason to believe that we shall continue to develop our objectives in the coming year.
