Annual Report of the (Managing) Trustees
(covering the year from September 2022 to August 2023)
Our Mission
To live and grow in the love of God and to show how God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, gives meaning and direction to life.
Our Vision
To be a positive influence both on those we live and work alongside and those that use our building each day.
Objectives and Activities
When planning our objectives and activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidelines on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through the four core activities of the Methodist Churches “Our Calling”.
The people who make up Cullercoats Methodist Church are a living community rich in our diversity but united in loving and following Jesus. Because our church includes a full age range from 0 – 90+, we try to offer something for everybody on a very varied and full menu of activities, worship, groups and interests.
We are a church which is proud of its evangelical roots, and is always seeking to join in God’s mission. We enjoy a high profile within the communities of Cullercoats, Marden Estate and Tynemouth, but include people who travel into CMC because this is where they wish to belong.
We work collaboratively across the North Shields and Whitley Bay Methodist Circuit and wider in the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Methodist District. We seek to encourage Kingdom growth in the local area, working with other churches and Christian groups where ever possible.
Introduction
Cullercoats Methodist Church has continued to serve as a beacon of hope, community, and faith in our locality over the past 12 months. In this time we have faced some challenges, yet our congregation and volunteers have demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment and have risen to meet these.
Adapting to Change
The imminent departure of several key volunteers and employees has been a notable challenge for our church this past year. The contributions of Andy Esson our Treasurer, Peter Hutton our Property Secretary and Julie Esson our Administrator cannot be understated and their retirement from these roles will leave a big gap. Their involvement in the life of the church has been significant and their absence will be deeply felt.
The challenge for the church is to find the right people to fill these roles moving forward. This may also mean we also need to find new ways of working and discovering new skills and ways of doing things to adapt to this change.
Celebrating Community Achievements
Despite the challenges we have continued to see growth and success in many different areas in the life of the church.
Weekly Warm Welcome
Our Warm Welcome has provided a safe and welcoming space for community members to gather, share, and support each other. This weekly event has been crucial, particularly during the colder months, in offering warmth and companionship to those in need.
Summer Special
The Summer Special was a highlight of the year, bringing together children and young people for four day of fun and celebration. The event featured games, music, craft and drama, and was well-received by those that came and their parents.
Prayer and Praise Events
Our Prayer and Praise events have offered an alternative place for worship once a month on a Sunday evening. These gatherings have provided opportunities for communal worship, reflection, and mutual encouragement, fostering a deeper sense of faith and unity.
Worship Review
We have spent time seeking to understand how our communal worship is received by our members and others during this year. This has allowed us to reflect on what we offer and what we might adapt and change going forward.
Collaboration with Community Groups
We have strengthened our collaboration with community groups in our local area as we have working together in different ways to meet needs in our community. We have also been able to offer space to different groups so they can run community activities of different kind within our building.
Playgroup
Our playgroup continues to offer low cost, OFSTED registered, childcare to families in our community each morning from Monday to Friday. In its latest inspection it received the grade good which is testament to the staffs handwork.
Property Improvements
Steady Enhancements
Over the past year, we have made steady improvements to our church building. These enhancements are aimed at creating a more welcoming and functional space for our congregation and visitors. Some of these changes are minor whilst others have sort to make the building more functional.
Future Improvements
We are looking at ways we can improve our welcome area. This would include new carpet being laid and automatic doors installed. The addition of the doors will help make the building more accessible to those with pushchairs and mobility scooters. It will also help in helping keep the heat in the building, particularly during the winter.
