Achievements and performanee
This year we successfully launched a third Sunday meeting, with many people from across the church stepping
into new serving roles.
RecognisiTJg the need for more pastOTal capacity, we advertised for a new pastor to serve in leading at our
Willesborough mee(ing. With the continued growth in ihe number of children actending our Sunday gatherings,
we increased our Children's Ministy Lead role from 1.5 to 3 days per week. This in turn led to the appointment
of a new administrator for 2 days per week.
Our groups moved to a video-based model, creating a centralised teaching approach io better support group
leaders. This has been successfully implemented and supported by the launch of a second website. equipped.ws,
which serves a$ a resource bank.
The Riverside Centre was revalued in March, reflecting the good work undertaken in revitalising the site and
eslablishing it as a hub for community life. We have seen an increase in ongoing hires of the building by local
charities and companies, many of whom share our commitment to serving the local community.
Our Community Café has continued to provide a welcoming hub for local residents, hostin8 knittin81 craft, and
toddler groups. The addition of a Free Store has further Complemented the resources we provide to local people.
Staff and leaders have continued to serve the wider body of Chrisl, including ministry trips lo Turkey and
France, as well as opportunities to host and preach at national conferences and within OLLr Catalyst family of
churches.
Our youth and children enjoyed successful weekend retreats at Ca￿Oty Wood, where they were equipped with
biblical foundations and developed lasting friendships.
At Christmas, we partn¢red with local schools through our Give a Gift initiative. working with Family Liaison
Officers to target support where most needed. A 'free shop, was hosted in our building, giving parents dignity in
¢hoosing gifts for their children, accompanied by free drinks in our café.
Across the church, we have seen development in the practite of spiritual disciplines, with a growing emphasis
on regular prayer meetings and a focus on praying for revival in Ashford. Our preaching this year has focused
on both biblical books and discipleship ihemes, including a series on I Peter, alongside teaching on prayer,
spiritual disciplines, and mission.
At the end of March, Richard Burgess stepped down after 13 years as an elder. He conlinues to serve both the
church and other local congregations through his role as Chair of Churches Together. As a church, we remain
committed to unity across Ashford's churches, regularly hosiing meeiings of pastors to share and pray together.
Financially. the church remained stsble, with income covering expenditure and a modesl operating surplus,
supported by strong Riverside Centre income and careful stewardship of resources
