Community of Christ - British Isles Mission Centre
Report of the Mission Centre Trustees for the year ended 31[st] December 2022
The Trustees present their report together with the Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 and comply with the Church’s governing documents and applicable law.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity, Community of Christ – British Isles Mission Centre (charity number 1119770), was registered with the Charity Commission on 21[st] June 2007. The governing document is the Mission Centre Constitution dated 22[nd] April 2007 which incorporates the World Church bylaws (“the Bylaws”). The trustees of the Mission Centre are the Mission Centre Leadership Team which consists of the Mission Centre President and Mission Centre Financial Officer who, in accordance with the Bylaws, are appointed by the World Church Leadership Council together with such other persons who are appointed by the Mission Centre President as provided for in the Bylaws. All members of the Mission Centre Leadership Team are sustained by the Mission Centre Conference.
Constitution and Objects
The objects of the Mission Centre are the advancement of the Christian religion for the benefit of the public in accordance with the doctrine and statements of belief of the Community of Christ.
Community of Christ is a Christian church whose purpose and mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace. The Mission Initiatives of the church are to:
Invite People to Christ, Pursue Peace on Earth, Abolish Poverty, End Suffering, Develop Disciples to Serve and Experience Congregations in Mission.
In accordance with the Bylaws, the Mission Centre exists to support congregations, facilitate church expansion, and provide linkage between World Church ministries and congregations. Its key functions include but are not limited to: pastoral support of congregational leaders; leadership skill development; congregational consultant ministries; missionary ministries; church planting; congregational crisis support; financial resource development support; specialised ministries (e.g., children, youth, young adult); coordination of periodic celebration events (e.g., camps, conferences and retreats); technical assistance to congregations (e.g., legal, risk management, property management); human resources; and essential administrative functions (e.g., implementation of World Church policies, priesthood administration, pastoral supervision).
The Mission Centre provides for the networking and grouping of congregations to encourage mutual support, foster church identity, pursuit of common causes, and to provide fellowship, leadership development and celebration opportunities. It is responsible for coordinating the management, creation, maintenance, and disposition of campgrounds, administrative offices, and other ancillary entities that exist within the scope of its responsibility.
2
Achievements and Performance
The Mission Centre has continued to provide support to congregations, opportunities for expansion, and a link between World Church ministries and the congregations and online communities in the British Isles. The ‘Sharing in Community of Christ’ booklet, produced by World Church, which provides an overview of the identity, mission, message and beliefs of the Church is used as foundational information for mission alignment, worship, teaching and preaching ministries.
A programme of activities was provided by the Mission Centre during the year. This included a camping programme for children, youth and young adults, several retreats and a summer camp for all ages. Some planned events had to be cancelled because of low numbers planning to attend; possibly a carry-over from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two Mission Centre conferences were held during the year allowing members of the church to have significant times of worship and fellowship as well as to conduct the business of the church.
The Mission Centre continued to provide support to congregations and members by arranging regular meetings of congregational pastors and priesthood members as well as providing a weekly online worship service.
The Mission Centre continued to be well served by the employed ministers of the church. Volunteers are invited, as part of their discipleship, to take on some of the Mission Centre leadership roles and the positive response of dedicated volunteers enables the Mission Centre to function in the way it does at present. We celebrate and give thanks for this vital volunteer ministry.
The Mission Centre has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and specifically the guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The Mission Centre has sought to fulfil its responsibility to advance religion for the public benefit by:
-
striving to be a community faithful to the risen Christ that courageously pursues matters of peace and justice;
-
supporting the congregations of the Community of Christ in the British Isles in their key functions of providing worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church has to offer;
-
providing for the networking and grouping of congregations in order to encourage mutual support, fostering church identity, supporting the pursuit of common causes, and providing opportunities for fellowship, leadership development and celebration.
Financial Structure
The Mission Centre is funded by contributions from individuals, congregations, and fundraising events, along with financial support from the World Church.
Members of the church in the British Isles also make direct contributions to the World Church general fund and special funds. The salary and ministerial expenses of the full-time minister employed by World Church and assigned to the British Isles, are paid from World Church funds. Postage, telephone, office supplies and other office expenses for this minister are paid from Mission Centre funds. Throughout 2022 the Mission Centre employed a Financial Assistant. The Congregation Support Minister, employed by the Mission Centre, resigned in May 2022 to take up other employment and was not replaced.
3
Financial Results
The General Fund surplus of £17,033 was largely due to employment of the Congregation Support Minister ceasing in May 2022.
The approved budget for the year ending 31[st] December 2023 anticipates a surplus of £7,000.
The value of the Stock Exchange Investment decreased by more than £94,000. However, since investment in the stock exchange was first made in 2016, the overall value of the investment has increased significantly and it is believed that investment of the charities funds in this way remains the best way to secure long-term growth.
Details related to the designated, restricted and endowment funds are set out in note 9 to the financial statements.
Serious Incidents
No serious incidents have been brought to the attention of the Charity Commission by the trustees over the previous financial year. The trustees have considered the list of serious incidents that should be reported to the Charity Commission and declare that there are no serious incidents or other matters relating to the charity over the previous financial year that they should have brought to the Commission’s attention but have not.
Key Risks
The reduction in financial support from World Church in recent years has created some financial constraints on the programme of the Mission Centre but an annual allocation from investments has enabled planned mission endeavours to be supported without any reduction in financial reserves occurring. Volunteers are now needed to take on some responsibilities previously held by employees when more church employees were assigned to the Mission Centre.
It is acknowledged that the significant rise in the cost of living could have financial implications related to income from donors and mission centre expenses but no significant reduction in giving has occurred to date.
Over recent years, the Mission Centre has made temporary loans to the Dunfield Charity to support the church’s residential centre, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A slower than anticipated improvement in the residential centre’s financial situation after the end of the pandemic has resulted in the Mission Centre making further temporary loans to the Dunfield Charity. Before approving these loans, the Mission Centre Finance Committee, acting on behalf of the Mission Centre Trustees, considered future projections which indicate that it will be possible for all loans from the Mission Centre to be repaid even though this is likely to take longer than originally anticipated.
The Mission Centre has also made temporary loans to two of its congregations to enable them to complete necessary repairs and modifications to their buildings. One of these congregations has now repaid the loan in full and there is no reason to believe that the other congregation will not be able to repay the loan as agreed.
Future Activities
A full programme of activities is planned for 2023. As financial support from World Church is reduced, members of the Mission Centre are being invited to participate in conversations related to the mission and purpose of the Mission Centre and how mission centre funds might be used to support these.
4
Reserves Policy
The Mission Endowment fund, an expendable endowment fund, will secure a regular income and is available to support projects in fulfilling the objects of the Mission Centre. In the opinion of the trustees, the General fund reserves of £218,250 are adequate but not excessive. The £125,000 held in the Mission Fund has been earmarked to implement a Plan for Mission. We will continue to support the purposes of the various special funds and utilise reserves where necessary.
Volunteers
Community of Christ is primarily a volunteer organisation, with almost all priesthood and leadership roles being filled by self sustaining personnel. The church could not function without such dedicated service. The Mission Centre is blessed by the availability of so many persons who give of their time and skills to facilitate the achievement of the mission of the church and the functions of the Mission Centre. To all who serve in this way we offer our grateful thanks.

Community of Christ - British Isles Mission Centre
Independent Examiner’s Report to the members of Community of Christ-British Isles Mission Centre
I report on the accounts of Community of Christ – British Isles Mission Centre for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 which are set out on pages 7 – 14.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
