Main Achievements - continued
The Youtube channel for the church
"The Community Church online"
remains a
popular resource for people to keep in touch with all that we are continuing to do. Content
continues to include our Sunday sermons, 'Testaminutes', thoughts for the day, praise and
worship items and other interviews and stories. In addition there are a number of teaching
videos and links to other helpful resources on our website.
We have continued to promote through our social media, other initiatives and
developments within Christian organisations in the U.K. and beyond. We trust it helps the
church maintain a world focus and keep in touch, with what God has been doing in our related
churches. With this in mind we encouraged member5 of the church to attend "World Watch" a
conference hosted by Ministries Without Borders at All Nations Church in Cardiff in November.
Here, people had opportunity to hear and be inspired about the advance of the gospel around
the world
During the year our'Help Fund,, made possible through the generous giving of the
church, has been able to support and encourage a number of people who have been in need or
hardship. 3 people., Graham Burke, Lyn Rose and Mirlam Smith, continue to oversee the
applications for help and the distribution of funds,
vl.
Playaways
our weekly parent and toddler group
ran throughout the year and
created some additional events e.g. 'Coffee & Colouring, in the Summer and for parents to take
advantage of during the holidays with their young children
it is a valued group within our
local community and part of our outreach.
At Edge Hill University we were able to attend the Freshers Falr event and establish
contact with the students
seeing many come through to visit the church and be involved in
Blueprints our student group headed up Harry Pickett.
The venue"Alpine Bar, in Ormskirk continued to be a venue for outreach and
connection to the student body. Various events like quiz night and 'bear & carols, were held
during the year
During the year the student / young adult5 of the Church went away on a 'Young Adults,
Conference organised by Ministries Without Borders and hosted at Cefn Lea and
led/coordinated by our own Harry Pickett.
Ministries Without Borders hosted a National Youth Event at Cefn Lea in October called
'Ransomed'. This drew together 11-16 year olds from around the country for an inspiring time
of worship, teaching and fellowshlp.
There has been a continuation of various teaching themes during the year e.g. Looking
afresh at who Jesus is through the 'I am" statements in the gospel of John - with follow up
sessions in our midweek groups.
The Family Life Centre building is a blessing but requires a great deal of attention.
Although we have had some small grants there is a need for a further lottery application grant
that Harry Picket will look into and make application to secure funding to prevent the
destruction of the historic fabric of the building.
In the Summer we were once again able to host for 2 weeks a mission team from Youth
With A Mission (YWAM/ Dunamis) from Brazil. During this time they were able to proclaim the
gospel on the streets in the town centre, door knocking, vislting Edge Hill and other secondary
schools in the area. These teams are overseen by Keith and Mel Whittaker and have been a
great encouragement in the church.

xiv.
Another evangelistic event hosted was our December'Breakfast with Santa,. James and
Jess McGlynn helped co-ordinate a superb team of helpers (many from Edge Hill University)
and deliver an excellent morning where food, fun and faith were shared together with a packed
housel
xv.
During the year, two successful work days were held to decorate and do some
maintenance work on the premises - with many areas being painted, cleaned and items
repaired. This type of ongoing care and maintenance is crucial in the church.
xvi.
We have continued with the contactless payment system. Despite costs it certainly
provides a good alternative for people to sow financially.
xvii.
During the year we continued our internship programme launched an internship
programme, seeing Thaddeus Copper and Kathy Chapman complete their year with us and
move into full time employrnent, Ethan Carre joined the programme in September 2024 with a
focus on media, and supporting the youth and young adults.This internship programme was
funded through a special offering and monies remaining from the previous year
xviii
Thanks to a grant from the local community we were able to fund a Summer family
funday outreach event at the Family Llfe Centre that saw over 400 people in attendance.
xviiii. Following damage to the roof after a storm, critical and essential works on the building
we will have to be carried out and a period of tenders and quotes has been initiated for the
work to be completed in the Summer / Autumn of 2025,
A special note: In the Summer of 2024 there was a tragedy in the town of Southport with 3
young girls killed and many injured. This event was obviously worldwide news and the media
descended on the town. In conjunction there was a riot in Southport that escalated into other
riots around the country- rnany with racial undertones. In the light of the tragedy we received
a financial gift fro Mlnistries Without Borders this has funded a range of activities and
opportunity to show care and support for the local community and residents of Hart street area
where the attack took place. For example around Valentines Day a team of people went in the
early hours of the morning and distributed a heart shaped balloon for each and every home-
this greatly blessed and encouraged the residents.
Additional Note
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE 2025 - 2026
Continue the internship programme in the church for 2025/26 this will require taking
offering for internship costs. We will explore the possibility of receiving interns from those who
were formerly on the YWAM/ Dunamis school of ministry. This will involve us applying to
become a sponsor organisation with the home office this allowing us to issue religious worker /
support worker visa opportunity.
2. We will look to introduce a quarterly booklet/ magazine 'Rhythms" this will provide
opportunity to keep everybody in touch with what is going on in the life of The Church and
form the basis of a welcome booklet for visitors to Church or to distribute for a new contacts.
3 We will endeavour to launch the Kintsugi Hope Course possibly at Edge Hill , or based out of
the Family Life Centre
We will look to welcome back a Dunamis / YWAM mission team in the Summer of 2025 to
support us in our outreach.

Financial Review
Page 4

The Community Church in the North West of England
Trustees, Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Reserves Policy
There are a variety of reasons as to why the charity requires financial reserves.
l. As the Community Church owns a building facility The Family Life Centre - there is a need
to accumulate a fund that will contribute towards the ongoing repair, restoration and
refurbishment of the Family Life Centre. Even at the completion of the phased approach these
work5, there will still be a need for an accumulation of funds for ongoing repairs.
2. The Church wants to reach out into other areas of our region. As a result funds will be
required to support the promotion, development and provide the necessary infrastructure for
the work of future congregations / evangelistic initiatives.
3. In furthering the aims of the trust there may well be a need to purchase other facilities and
resources and our desire to avoid loans and debt wherever possible
Level of Reserves
On an ongoing basis the charity aims to have a minimum of one month anticipated expenditure
in hand (this amounts to around £13,500 per month).
The roof and fabrlc of the building will require significant sums over the course of time, A full
schedule of works will be developed for the building but there may at times ne need for large
amounts to repair and restore areas of this grade two listed building. Items that will need
attending include Phase 2 roof repairs / window replacement l interior decoration I drainage
and stonework restoration.
Maintaining Reserves
In anticipation of building demands, a set amount of Income Is set aslde Into reserves each
month for building repairs and restoration. The charity will also aim to set aside finance to
enable the support of people and projects where necessary in the furtherance of the trust aims.
Monitoring and Review
Through the administrator and treasurer, funds will be monltored and should there ever be an
excessive amount of money being held it will be brought to the attention of the Trustees who
will decide on any use of the available funds.
Risk Management
The Trustees have examlned the major strateglc, buslness and operatlonal rlsks which the
charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be
produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

in turn report to the leadership team,
Various people head up areas of service like children's and youth work, hospitality, welcome
teams and stewarding. All those working and serving in areas of children, youth and vulnerable
adults are church members and have either been DBS checked or are in the process of being
checked where appropriate. This area of safeguarding is overseen by Keith Whittaker and Helen
Rimmer
b) The church meets weekly on Sunday mornings at The Family Life Centre Southport and then
midweek the church gathers in smaller gatherings called 'connect groups, around the region.

Trustee Selection Methods
When there is a need to add to the number of trustees the following steps are taken;_
Prospective trustees are approached about the possibility and then the expectations,
responsibilities and liabilities are explained, This is accompanied with the booklet from the
Charity Commission giving detailed explanation about these matters.
During the duration of Trusteeship, there is a distribution of any relevant literature to trustees
