REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
Review of the Year
This year we continued to hold our services in the church building, and we recorded Services and
streamed them on YouTube. This helped niany people who could not attend or preferred to stay at
home duriiig this period, and it also enabled us to reacli people who do not normally atteiid Siittoi)
Christian Centre.
We continued to articulate our vision using our mission which is:
To be a loving family church. where people of all ages. races. cultures. abilities. and backgroiinds
cali experience the love of lesu.s, be transformed by His word, discovei- their calling, aiid loviiigly
serve and connect others to Christ.
In 2023, for the first half of the year our Sunday morning teaching 15 digging deeper into the church
that God wants us to be. We looked at this through the six lenses of a biblical church; a worshipping
church,. a caring church,. a serving church,. a Holy Spirit church: and an expectant church.
In practical terms thi5 15 shown up strongly through our small groups, called Connect GroLtps. who
niet together regularly, primarily via zoom, arid who contacted and Iielped people in their groups.
Ruiii)ing the n)eetings via Zoom appel£ rs to have enabled more people to attend and some groiips
increased the number of meetings that they had. These groups are vital and contii)ue to play a
particiilarly important role in chLirch life. It is where strong relationsl)ips are biiilt, prayer iieeds
are met, people grow and develop. The leaders of these groups are essential to the health of tl)e
cliurch, liiid we thank theni for their service and dedication.
Pl'ayer is <ln esseiitial element of any cl)urch. There is a lot nf prayer through the Connect CJroiii)s,
the Wednesday prayer nieetiiig and we have a prayer chain where we can get prayer reque.st out
the everyoiie in the church very qiiickly. We have a moi)thly churcl) prayer meetii)g in addition.
Anotlier group which has really flourished is the ladies, tneetings. The meetii)gs h<lVL, bcen
incrc'dibly positive with ladies bLbing blessed and greatly encoiiraged. Last April the ladies
organized a conference called REFRESH. It was a wonderful day with many feeling the presence of
God during the day.
The cliildren'5 and youth meetings have moved to face-to-face meetings, which helps all the age
groups. The local scliool no longer allows us to Use their premises on Sunday morning so there is a
real squeeze to get the creche, beginners, Kings Club, and the youth on the preinises at the same
tin)e. Despite these dI￿]cLI1t1eS much care and nurturing has taken place thruugh the dedicate(I
teams.
The youth attended DTI (Dream The Impossible) youth camp during the summer holidays. It
proved to be a wonderful success with testimony after testimony from the youth who weiit. Five of
them made decisions to accept the Lord as their Saviour. Two have now been baptised in water by
total immersion. Thankyou to all the leaders and helpers who took part in DTI. After our DTI Lamp,
Chris Hickson, who had stood in the gap with real dedication and skill decided that the time had
come for him to lay down the leadership. We thank Chris for all the work that he did while leading
our youth.
We have john Blay taking over the leadership of the group. employed on a part-time basis. Johii has
a calling on his life to work with the youth.
The church continues to give 10 % of its income to missions and also has a fund to help t1105e in
need. One of the charities we give to in India has helped thousands of children and adults and we
rejoice in God's goodness and pray for a continued blessing on all involved in this work.

SUTTON CHRISTIAN CENTRE TRUST
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ocfoBER 2023
At Christmas, a special offering was taken as usual. and the tnoney was given to those who needed
help. I'liis was organized by our deacons. and wo thank them for their service. We thank especially
lan NiLho150n who served as a deacon for many years and led the group. lan has now stepped dowii
but otfers her help as it is requested.
The church has a wonderful and dedicated group of leaders and staff, and this year, the role of those
who broadcast our services have been especially crucial. We sincerely thank each one for all that
they do. We are also blessed to have Ray Djan as our covering apostle, supporting and guiding the
elder5. and we thank him for his service.
As tlie year progressed, we were able to give many the opportunity to speak or lead during our
Sunday morning services. There is so niuch talent and ability. We will contiiiue this policy of givii)g
people opportunities and marvel that God has brought tliese people with such gift5 to us.
The chiirch also h35 a great worship team and worship is a strong part of oiir ciilture. These
dedicated people give tlieir time and talent to us week after week, leading us again and again into
God's presence.
The church has been kiiown for many years as thc church tliat goes to elderly folks. homes which
we did for nearly 50 years and saw l OO'S make a decision to accept jesus as their Loi-d aiid Saviuur.
C.OVID meant that we could no loiiger visit the homes. but we are so pleased thclt Mercia Macdonald
has taken the challenge and now three homes have visits and services.
During the financial year some associated with Sutton Christian Centre went to be with their Lord
and Savioiir. Les Wileman was one of those. Les was for some years the churcli odiniiiistrator aiid
he alsn wa.s leader of our work among the elderly, and, in that role, he headed a cliurch Ilieeting for
the elderly, visited l)ome5, becanie chaplain to sorne homes. and niany people were blessed by Les
visiting them. Ile siiffered some ill.healtli, but he coiilinued to visit and testify to people aiid won
many to jesus Clirist. Les shone out as a dedicated Christian giving his all for the Lord. A spleiidid
example to us all. Well done thou good and faithful servant
Derek Belcher was another who went to be with the Lord in November 2022. It is doiibtful that tlie
church would have existed without Derek's input, Particularly when the church was siiiall. He led
the church to employ George Parrott as our pastor aiid together they led the chvrcl) to go froill
around 20 to 120 people and later he continued as an elder through time of Alan130tt as our pastor.
Steve Cross who had been the leader of the church intercession and our Encouiiter with God
nieeting passed away in january 23. With his wife Lynne he had moved to the south coast biit
contiiiued to be heavily involved witli our church. Steve was a tretnendous blessing to us. Iris
Sheridan who was a church member for many years also passed away. Iris was a stroiig Christian
and a fervent evangelist.
We have four people trained in the Christians Against Poverty [CAP) system and we ran seminars
and provided personal practical help
especially useful during a time of national cost of living
pressures. We are running this course through some of our Connect Groups. Thank you to Anne
Page and the team.
We have Table Tennis. Shape. Tots and All. as activities taking place at the church midweek and we
have people who are street pastors and some who help with the food bank
We started a tkew meeting called Cornerstone which is specifically aimed at adults with learning
difficulties. This meetin& which takes place on the second Siinday of each month. is meeting a real
need and those who attend are very blessed. During the year, the nieeting went from strength to
strength.

thaiik thein for all that they do often going "far beyond." Finally, we are looking fomiard tu
celebrating our 125 years anniversary throughout this new year.
Public Benefit
Sutton Christian Cerktre has a strong belief that we should benefit the community and that we are
comn)unity minded. The trustees have liad regard to the Charity Comniission's guidaiice on public
benefit when considering their activities. Some of the activitie5 tlii5 financial year whicli are of
direct benefit are..
Our premises are used to host a weekly table tennis session to which everyone is welcome.
We run a youth club.
We visit several elderly folk's honie5 and act as Chaplain to some.
We belong to Sutton LinK partnersl)ip which looks at health issues in Sutton.
We donate to the Sutton foodbank schenie.
We encourageour membersto beactive in thecommunity from school governors tothose wlio
help local goveri)ment.
We help dnd doiiate to other charities.
We run a cliildreii and ii)um's gi'oup tl)at is open to the entire community.
Flnanclal revlew and reserves
At tl)e ei)d of tliis fiiiaiicial year, unrestricted funds amounted to £999,989 of which £234,389 is
freely dvailable and E765,600 is invested in fixed assets, including the church building at Tate Road.
Tlie building was pi'ofes5ionally re-valued at £700,000 in October 2007 aiid this was treated as
deeined cost on transitioi? to FRS 102. Restricted fund5 include £90,572 doiiated tuwar(Is the
developiiient of the church building in due course.
In order to ensure that the trust can continiie to operate effectively shoiild it experience a
significant drop in inconie, it must hold reserves at a level that the Directoi's consider to be
sufficient. The Directors adopt a risk-based approach to deterinining the minimum reserves tl)at
would be reqiiired to sustain the charity over twelve months. Thus, eaLh line of income and
expenditlire budget was risk-adjusted, resulting in a need to hold a minin)uni of £61,068 iii fl-ee
reserve. Based on the budget for 2023124, this is equivaleiit to around 16.6 weeks of expenditure.
However, addilional reserves are needed to replace fixed assets at the appropriate tinie and the
Directors WOLild like to gradually build up i-eserves to enable the charity to purchase a new building
or redevelop Tate Road.
