Review of Activities - Chair's report - 2022-23 For Wellspring Church it has been a year of increase. a catalyst to healthy change and ongoing and fvture momentum. Whilst we recoEnise the aftemiath of Covid-19 Pandemic has caused much delay, complications and difficulties to society. organisations and faith groups, we are grateful to have experienced a rallying of more people to Jesus and one another. We can see the evidence of this in the following three areas: Church Growth. Leadership Transition Planning and Community Outreach and EngagernenL Church Growth: This has been a full year of two in person Sunday services 9am and 11am. The church average monthly in person attendance across our services has grown 35% to 230 per Sunday1170 adults. 60 under 18sl from 1701120 adults. 50 under 1851 per Sund3y12021-221. We have also seen an increase in our family membership1170 adults. up 19 people since March 20211 experiencing more people joining the vision. values and commitments we hold and making We115pring Church their spiritual home. We continue to live stream the Ilarn service with an average 30 devices (usually more people) vAtching live and many more in the week which enables connection for those house bound, or with work or family commitments on a Sunday morning. Thi5 growth can be partly linked to this year's theme and teaching bringing More def inition and language to our refreshed values we have coined 'E55entia15'. These 'E55entiots' are- Spirit-filled Living. wI￿lehearted Worship and Authentic Relationship. The Compassion Fund was renamed the Church Family Fund and its profile raised in light of cost of living pressures and crisis need. Over £5k was given and then grants made to church members. family and linked people in need - following agreed principles - this was a threefold increase on the previou5 year. One of the areas of considerable growth and representstion within our church family has been with the young adults aged 18-30. Therefore. we have 3150 birthed a new ministry for young adults called 'YA' with new leaders Stepping up to facilitate speci31 events for this group. Leadership Transition Planning: We celebrate the acceptsnce and enthusiasm of our plans to transition Wellspring's senior leadership over to the current Lead Pastor for September 2023 as well as the twenty five years of church leadership of the senior minister and his wife as they step away from their roles. The forthcoming changes were shared in January 2023 wa5 met with much faith and goodwill for the new appointmen( the outgoing ministers and also for the continuity of the church's life arbd future direction. Community Outreach and EngagemenL. We have continued to SUPPOrt our local charitsble partnerships with connecting church volunteers as well as financially. A noteworthy progression in partnership. is our investment of time, effort and finance5 together with the food bank, to hdp purchase. instsll and run a funttional portacabin unit in our garden. We have called the space The Mulberry Room, and it is used as a distribution tentre for local people in need to pick up free food partels Monday to Friday. Page 3

Middle East: Lebanon The Aziz Partnership with True Vine IBapt15tl Church in Zahlé has come to a natural hiatus, mainly due to financial and political instability in and around Beirut and the ￿foCuSSIng of the True Vine ministry- this has encouraged a review on our side. No visits took place in this period but were planned for early in the following year and we have continued to ￿VIeW possible ministry in the area with Egyptian and other local church partner& Page 12

Structure, Governance and Management Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which Wellspring Church operates rests with the Trustees vlho meet monthly to monitor the artivities of the charity. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing Trustees following a period of consultation and background checks and in 3greement with the Senior Minister who Serves 35 Chair of the board of Trustee5. A prospective Trustee will join the Trustees for three months on a conf idential. without prejudice ex-officio basis to see if the role fits. New Trustees are in time appointed by a majority vote. Our Conflict of Interest Policy aims to ensure that conflicts of interest are identified and addressed so that they do not influence decision making. As per our legal framework. Trustees are recruited arA appointed with the consent of all existin8 Trustees and membership of the Board of Trustees is reviewed on an annual ba515 at our Annual General Meeting. A healthy collaboration is maintsined between the Senior Leadership Team - Ministry Leader5 (whose focus is pastoral and spiritual directionl and the Trustees (with their legal and financial responsibility) through a monthly cycle of meetings that include prayer together as well as clear and frequent communication of decisions taken, and actions required. Salary reviews are conducted on an annual basis after a thorough series of staff apprai5a15 in accordance with our Stsff Handbook and asS(Kiated policie5. We avoid any conflict5 Of interest by ensuring any beneficiaries are excluded by remaining Trustees from discussions regarding their (or any related party's) pay and conditions. Trustees tske advice from Assemblies of God GB whose Salaries Committee issues an annual report with recommendations for any changes to salary levels. We also subscribe to Stewardship Services for consultancy support, offering qualified advice on employment as well as handling payroll induding payments to HMRC and issuing of appropriate payslip Wellspring Church is in fellowship with Assemblies of God GB. This provides us with an important context for ministerial accreditstion. leadership training and connection with other local churches with a common aim. We willingly submit to the leadership offered by the National Leadership Team of AQG GB and access resources and opportunities to serve as part of a national network of over 5¢XI churches and an international family of thousands of churche5. We are committed to complying with the bylaws and policy requirements that corne with fellowship and we are in Good 5tsndinE With AOG, making monthly financial subscriptions and ensuring our Ministers and Missionaries remain in Good Stsnding also. We do this whilst recognising the constitutional provision for the autonomy of our fellowship to be led and gOVerr￿ by our own Senior Leaders according to our specific vision and values. In early 2023 Rev rim Roberts gave notice of resigning in ALrtumn 2023 as Senior Leader, Senior Minister and thus as Chair of Trustees. After the year end Rev David Dodwell was offered and accepted the Senior Leader Senior Minister role and was recognised as chair of Trustees in September 2023. We keep board makeup ur)der review and remain open to further enhancement to our Trustees with a strong induction process in place, seeking new members in the new year. Page 13

Financial review After excluding last yearf5 exceptional Sunshine grant income of £148,2W (see note 3 to the accounts), tot31 incorne was £12,3C(I lower at £594.7CKJ lin 2022 income increased by £119,3(X) to £607.OCKJI. Though there has been a sm311 reduction in income this year, it is still £107.¢XM) higher than in 2021 and this reflects the tremendous of the generosity of the church's members and other supporters. In this current year restricted income fell by £95.700 but this was largeiy offset by a increase of £56.400 in unrestricted donation income and an increase of É27,OCQ in income from charitable activities a5 PQ5t COVID the charity developed its activities. Funds raised during the year for restricted causes arn￿nted to £87,6CQ12022.. £183,3CM)l of which £40,700 lor 47%112022= £161.4CKJ or 88%) was in respect of the Extend building project at The Wellspring Church Centre. 12022 included a one off grant of £54.(XJ) from Allchurches Trust for the Extend ProjecLI. During the year the charity also received a grant of £27,700 from Watford Foodbank to help purchase a portacabin Ithe Mulberry Room). which on weekdays is mainly being used as a distribution point for the Foodbank. Total expenditure increased by £75,(KKI to £516.5CQ 12022: £441,4CQI. The main areas of increase were: Expenditure on repairs and repairs and maintenance increased by £19.400 to £36,6CX) as the church embarked on a program of refurbishing. upgrading and re-decorating Some parts of the church building. Expenditure on grant making increased by £13.2CM) to £51.CO) with the church seeking to respond to needs within our church family, the loc31 community and partner organisations engaged in mission. Our largest area of expenditure is staff costs. which thi5 year increased by £9,400 to £221.5IXI. This reflects change5 in staffing in both the current and previcrtjs year and small pay awards to help staff with increases in the cost of living. The annual charge for depreciation increased by £8.6CKI to £40.2CiI, which fflainly reflects a first time deprecation charge on the portacabin purchased this year using the grant from Watford Foodbank. Expenditure'on outreach and ministries increased by £6.9CiI to £19.41XI because we were able to eng3ge in more activities (including a Wellness project) following the easing of pandemic restriction5 in the previous year. Expenditure on utilities increased by £5.6(Kl to £26.600. which was partly due to increased use of the Church Centre particularly in the evenings. Mortgage interest increased by £4.600 to £25.9IX) following increases in interest rates. When we are able to do so. we are making alkliti(￿3l loan repayments to try to reduce the interest we are paying. This year we repaid an additional £50.Cth and a further additional £50.000 has been repaid since the year end. Net income w35 £78,30012022- £165,6(Kl before the exceptional Sunshine grant income), which (after transfers between funds) comprised a surplus of £65.4￿ on unrestrirted funds and a surplus of £12,9(K) on restricted fund5. Net assets increased by £78.3QJ to É2.092.(KKI. This comprised tsngible fixed assets with a carrying valve of £2,129.500 plus cash of £450,ThX) less a mortgage of £486,WO le55 Other net cUr￿nt liabilities of É1.5CMJ. Though cash of £450,1NX) would appear to be substantial. £294.100 is held by restricted funds (mainly the Building fund) and a much lower £155.9¢J) was available to help fund the charity's day to day activities. Page 14

Reserves policy There have been no changes to our Reserve Policy in thi5 year. The Church remains committed to holding free cash reserves equal to at least two times our monthly unrestricted operating expenditure. which amounts to about £84,CKXI12022.. £75.¢XL)l. Actual cash resetves (being unrestricted cashl amounted to £155.9CM)12022= £171,5CQI and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. The mortgage interest rate has continued to increase and, comparatively. the bank deposit interest rate 15 quite low. Therefore. since the year-end. to help reduce charges for mortga8e interest, the trustees have made an additional mortgage capital repayment of £50.OC() and this has reduced amount of unrestricted cash held by the charity {3lbeit it still remains above £IC(I,OCM) and the minirnum required by the reserves policy). Extend Regular and one off giving to the Extend building project continued in this past year and income of £40.7CI) was received. During the year the charity spent £24.6W on the Extend building project mainly on ref ining details of the design with the professional team . In the years since the Extend Project was13unched in 2015. £734.6CQ has been given to/raised for the project and expenditure on preliminary items and fundraising so far is £407.800. Overall during the year, the fund5 held in the Extend restricted building fund increased by £16,100 to £273,4fK)12022: £257,200.) The charity is continuing to raise funds forthis project and seek further grant funding and mortgage provision. Risk Statement The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify. monitor and review these risks on a regular bass. Post COVID restriction5 these continue to be closely monitored. Principal Risk The primary source of funding of the Church is from the membership. A significant drop in Church membership will impact the Church's abilwty to achieve its goals and objectives. The Church continues to organize events and activities that welcome new members. Wellspring Church also actively pursues the integration of new members into the Church family. The principal revenue for the Church 15 received from members and the hire of its Church Centre in central Watford. A significant reduction in the contribution of member5 Qr the availability of the building for hire purposes will have an adverse impact on the goals and objectives of the Church. The Church continues to maintsin an open-door policy whi15t providing full disclosure on financial performance to members. Al building regulations are adhered to ensure risks are reduced. The Trustees closely monitored the unexpected impact of COVID on income and expenditure. At no point was a call on reserves needed but their availability aided short-term decision makinE. A change of leadership can have a destabilising effect and risk of lower members - but it can also bring fresh impetus. The church closely monitors attendance and participation in all activities. services and teams and continues to see new people. new members. increased serving before and during the leadership change over. Post year erMI income continues to grow. Page IS
