Vision & Mission The trustees note that the Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds. whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for. who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to be blessing to the area in which they lived. GCS, its trustees, elders, and members, are committed to the continuation of those New Testament princip5es. GCS is not alone in this,. it is one of many churches iri the area, country, and all over the world who are inviting people to re-discover the excitement of knowin9 Jesus Christ. The vision of GCS is to see Swindon come to life in God. We will do this by giving ourselves away throu9h equippin9, sending, partnering, & resourcing. 2.3. Values The Trustees and elders have sought to work out how best to express the vision in the context of week to week church activities, values and life. The following ten value statements aim to summarise what GCS prioritises and strives for, as it works out its vision of seeing Swindon come to life in God.. We're %4ttored servants on mission in our communftiw. God 5end5. He sent h+s Son into the world to save, and Jesus ha5 passed on that mission to us Imatthew 28..191. That means we don't focus on doing things 'our way,. but instead we encourage each other to serve where we live and be the Church in our community. We're here for one anothgrf$ succes¥. We sacrifice our own time, finance, profile, and success in order that others will benefit. This means we want to equip èach person, including our children and youn9 people, to be a5 effective as possible in the areas Jesus has called them to.
GATEWAY CHURCH SWINDON Report and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 Trustees, Report We're part of a bigger story. We believe that where twst and unity exist, God moves. Hope for Swindon is found in the unity of his followers. So, WÈ seek to actively support, work with. and love other churches in Swindon, the UK, and across the woAd. Love and unity on display irTr the Church is one of our most effective tools. We refiect the diversty of our town & we prodaim the di¥ernty of God's lfjngdom. We're intentional about raising up leaders from other cultures. other social background5, male and female, young and old. We want to learn to serve and love those from different backgrounds better. Society longs for unity and inclusion, but it lacks the power to achieve it. What society is unable to do, God is able to do through the power of the gospel and His Spirit. We go above and beyond to do the impossible. One of the characteristics of a Christian is that we reflert God's extravagant generosity. Faith_filled generosity allows the disadvantaged to be cared for, the gospel to be preached, and the Church family to be strengthened. We want to be known for our generosity- as those who contribute and not jLtst consume. We're fuelled bythe Spirit and f4ithfvl to the Word. We desire that every Christian live in the fullness of life in the Spirit. lor the full range of spiritual gifts we read about in the Bible to be exercised amongst us, and for all people to know they are a valued member of the Church and have something to contribute. We're also committed to the faithful preaching and teaching of the Bible and aim to shape all we are and do by it. We're created for communty. The Church is not a club or a business. but a new kind of family. We therefore pursue community-forming activities and gather together wulady. We train. raise. and release men and women into leèdership. We also value the importance of biblical eldership- a team of men who seek to father the local church through their leadership. We also delight in the natLJral expressions of family. We guard biblical marriage and see the raising of children as a responsibility that isn't just for parents but for the entire church community. We also celebrate the gift of singleness and seek to hold it in the Same high esteern as the New Testament. We're rnotivated by grace. We are a people of grace, because God has poured out his grace upon us. We want to be a Church that expresses God's grace to one another and to the world around us. Freely we've received. so felY we will givè. We're a cornmunity with wide front door for anyone to come through, knowing that Jesus ate with the people his society despised. We want to live in the same way, so no matter where people havè come Irom. their background or life circumstances, we want them to encounter the love and gra¢e of Jesus. We're hereforthe ty. God ha5 placed us in Swindon and all we are and do seeksto bring about the transformation of our town. So, we encourage people to serve in every area of society, seeking its blessing and transformation whether it's local government. business. healthcare, charity, or something else- knowing that they bring the grace and love of Jesus with them as they serve. We soekto make the last the fitsL We seek to continue the directive of the New Testament to 'rernernber the poorf, knowing that we serve a God who 'raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princés of hi5 people, (Psalm 113..7-81.

Building a Family of Believers The church continues to hold public gatherings, where through singing, communion. prayer and teaching the Bible, we encourage people to live as disciples of Jesus. These gatherings also provide an opportunity for individuals to share personal testimony, respond to the claims of the Christian faith. and lor new believer5, baptisms. We have consistently been gathering together physically throughout thss year in the west of Swindon. We continue to StaM our Sunday gatherings to Zoom forthose who are unable to gather physically. or who do not yet feel comfortable doing SO. The Sunday gatherings have activities of worship for all ages, not just adults. There is children's work for ages 2-4, 5-8, and 9-11, as well as youth work for those aged 11-18 and a space for parents of O- 2s to bring their children and connect with others. The children's team enjoy serving the children through games. worship, bible teaching, and exploring creativity in arts and craft. Good numbers of children are attending each week and the children's team leaders continue to work hard at building and developing the teams. In each of the groups. we have bright and varied curriculurns which are age appropriate. Our children's work is structured to encourage the best from the children and help parents feel comfortable leaving their children in our care. Part of this is a continued commitment to safeguarding children and training our volunteers in safeguarding best practice. A new online safeguarding course for those working with chIldn and young people is duè to be launched post the year-end. We contintje to hold tefmly family gatherings- with the sole focu5 of serving children and parents, and equipping parents with resources to engage and disciple their children throughout the week. A5 wèll as the age-related groups meetin9 on Sunday mornings, youth continued to meet during the week on a regular basis. The Newday summer camp was cancelled again in 2021, so we hosted a watch paty for the Newday online event instead. There are many opportunities which allow most in the congregation to hÈve some involvement in expressing their Christian faith practically as they work together and serve others. This could be through being part of the Welcome Team seNing on a Sunday, working as part of the Worship Team, working with Asjthentic on a weekday night, or through volunteering at Gateway Furniture or others we work with in the town. Throu9h the groups meeting at various points throughout the week, relationships continue to grow and gifts are developed as members care for and encouTrge one another. Groups provide èn opportunity for indivdu3l5 form the diverse backgrounds at GCS to meet together, often in home5, but also at the building we u5È. Some groups have a more specific focus when meeting together, such as the Wednesday rnorning group for mothers and toddlers. while others provide an opportunity to fomi relationships, care for one another prdctically. and encourage each other in faith.

GATEWAY CHURCH SWINDON Fleport and Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022 Trustees, Report 5. PL4NS FOF2 FUTURE PERIODS This year ended with a reasonable deficit, £9,964 over the budgeted deficit for the year. The budget to March 2023 indicates another year of delicit as we continue to increasè our expenditure following the last few years of the pandemic. The planned deficit to March 2023 is for £29,788. Because we have a healthy remaining balance in the Welfare Fund, we are prepared to increasingly support those who are in financial need, both within the church and wider in Swindon, over this coming year with the c05t-ol_livin9 crisis and increase to energy bills. Furthermore, we have budget8d to continue our new intention to increase the amount of grant funding to other organisations. The aim for the last year was to '9ive away, a minimurn of 15% of QUT general incomo. plus any income raised from special offerings. We intend to 'give away, a minirnum of 16% 01 our general income in the coming yéar, plus any income raised from special offerings. This will also help to bring our reserves back within policy. Since the year-end, the charity was asked to leave its retail space at short notice, causing the Gateway Fumiture Project to lose it5 largest portion of income. Subsequently, the trustees made the decision to close the Gateway Furnitur8 Project, rvakin9 SIX staff redundant, as it was no longer financially viable to support. This will result in a larger deficit to March 2023 than budgeted, but also a large reduction in ongoing financial risk to the charity. 6.
