Sl Johft The Evangelist Kenilworth. Trustees, Annual Report 2025 1. Letter from the Vicar Dear members of St. John th8 Evangelist. These last twelve months feel like another significant slep for us as we develop into a richer. deeper, mission-minded community. After the previous year's 5abbalical I fell led lo write, completing my book in 2025. This gave me an even clearer biblical understanding about why we do what we do. Now we are looking lo live Jesus. life to the full. Once again, we have seen mis8ional life bear new fruit, with more of our groups connecting lo new people. Bapt15ms in 2025 (including younger and not so young) showed that we are reaching across quite a range of people. More recently we've made some in-roads into younger families, and toddler group is taking some new steps in inviting people and offèring prayer. This is exciting. Perhaps the most encouraging signs involve the drawing in of young adults.. some with strong faith and others who are brand new to faith. We have experienced a handful of folk who have spontaneously encountered God and simply walked towards church these are signs that something is changing in our wider culture and a number of these new contacts are menl God is on the move as people feel the challenges of modern life. So, we have been running lo keep up with Jesus as h8 graciously blesses us with new peoplel We still haven't resolved the need for èxtra staff to hèlp with all this. so we look lo God to Sustain us. Alongside these developments, my heart has been for all of us to explore Jesus, life lo the full, He wan15 the very best for us, and doesn't want anyone stuck in a narrow spiritual cul-de-sac. So. the contemplative people have much lo learn from the adventurous evangelists, and the outward looking folk will need to be laughl h¢)w lo go deeper wrth God too. As we launch huddles this year, I hope that all core leaders will be nurtured and slrenglhened in fresh ways. Do pray for your group leaders - they are very importanl. Our recent Unity seriice (Jan 25th) was another sign that relationships are building well across groups and age groups. It 15 a continuing sign that something precious is here when yel another new person describes our church as welcoming and loving. And in 2025 we welcomed a new mission-mindod bishopl Do pray lor +Sophie as she launches fresh vision across the diocese. God is on the movel Thank you for your commitment. Thank you for serving and sharing faith. God sees it alll

St John The Evangelist Kenilwtsrth, Trustee5' Annual Report 2025 2. Churchwarden's Report As we look back on 2025. the year was marked from a Church of England perspective by the election of Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canlerbury. She inherits 8 tough job, wrth the tarnished repulation of the Church in desperate need of reviving and the morale of many members, clergy and laity, al an alarmingly low point. People point lo clergy burnout, slruclural and theological disunity, inslilutional crises (especially safeguarding) and declining influence in society. This last point in particular is frustrating.. the Church needs lo slop aping the shifting sands of the society around us Ilhe worfd, the flesh and the devil) and to offer a distinctive voice. proclaiming the values of the kingdom of God. We have a choice., lo read God's word through the lens of societal values or lo look al the values of Society through the lens of the Bible, God's word, which should be guiding our every step. The bishops of the Church of England have signalled that the Living in Love and Faith process is to come to an end. We should pr8y that this means that the church can gel back lo preaching the word, spreading the good news of the saving grace of Jesus. In all likelihood, il seems that the subject will not disappear completely and will continue to cause distractions thal take up time and ellort. This would be a pity, as there is much work to do lo advance the kingdom of God and turn the hearts and minds of this nation to Jesus. l am happy lo report that Bishop Sophi8 was officially confirmed in her election as the new Bishop of Coventry in February and was installed on June 7th al Coventry Cathedral. +Sophie has already visited all 11 Oeaneries in the Diocese al least once and is 81ready forming her strategy. She is committed to mission, whlch is in c105e accord with our focu$ in this church, so the future locally looks promising, Please do pray for +Sophie. We are experiencing some signs of the "Quiet Revival" with a number of people coming to church in search of God. We held on8 baptism seNice la51 year in the autumn at which six people were baplised and the next baptism service is arranged for Easter 2026. We are fortunate lo have a number of ministries that can accommodate people's situations and needs. These are exciting timesl Some of the many ministries in wh￿h people are involved are mentioned below, but there are too many lo mention - a good problem lo have. Thanks to all Ih05e involved in these activities. Financially, we are again in a good situation Ihanks lo thè immeasurable kindness of God. In 2024 you may remember, we finished the year with a small10s5 of £2k. This was despite the £70k Spend on the repairs lo the church roof, wilhoul having to ask the Diocese for a grant. In 2025, despite some work undertaken around the church premis8s Isee below), we made a surplus of c.£29,200. Praise God for this. on￿ again, thanks musl go lo Peter Jackson for his continue support, large behind the scenes but very, very important. You may have noti￿d Ihal the largè church hall room was refurbished in October, including new curtains. This has been favourably remarked upon by users of the hall. We are trying to ensure that it boks smart for as long as possible, so please use it with care. The small hall will be refurbished early in 2026 and the hallwaylkitchen a little later. The church kitchen has been redecorated and filled wrth a window screen. We are currently warting to ￿place the chiller units. Again, if you are using this facility, please tidy up afterwards, as it fomis an important part of our oulreach. In July, we passed our District Council Food Hygiene Inspection for the Church hall and thurch knlchens.

Sl John The Evangelist Kenilworth, Trustees. Annual Report 2025 In October 2025, we carried out the Quinquennial Inspection. The archilecl's report tells us that the church building is generally in good condition, but with a couple of notable exceptions.. the steeple (inside and outside) needs some significant work to clean out the mess caL+sed by pigeons and to prevent them gaining access in future.. we also need to repoint part of the external biickwork. These, and a few other less major items, will cost us approximately £70k over the next two years. This is a cost which we can cover only because of the bountiful provision ol our Lord God to us, working through the generosity of the members of our church family. In December 2024, we had just managed lo confirm our continued participation in the Fareshare I Foodirect scheme. Since then, the team have been collecting food items twice a week so that they can be distributed lo those who need it, including the retired clergy living in Margetts Close. Our annual review with Foodirecl was held in December 2025. The feedback was.. "Your coll8Ction compli8nce at your stores is 93. 75%. This is abovo our expectation and I really appreclate you Thanks to th8 team for making this valuable ministry possible. Talking of food, 'Meel n Eat, met 8 limes in the year, providing a good quality meal to a wide variety of people. Al the moment, the team is taking a break from Meet'n Eat to seek God's direction about what to do next. It may return later in the year in a different forrnal. For the moment, people are encouraged to go to Orop In on Friday mornings. Drop In itself continues lo be very popu18r. During the year, an annual total of 3,229 visitors kept the team busy on all bul one Friday of the year. The adjusted weekly average numb8T of attendees was 63, with a high of 77 Ilhe second week of November), March was the best attended month (weekly average of 70). Sincere thanks to all the volunteers who make this happen. 11 has also led to other ministries. such as the growing Discovery Group Bible Study group and the Drop In Plus men's group that started in January and has established ilsew as a follow up group lo the growing 'Men's table, al Drop In. Slightly ahead of where Orop In Plus is al present, the Thursday Bible study group (called Daybme Group) continues lo meet every Thursday 2-3.30 pm in thè church building. The 'Sainls Alive, course ran very successfully over 9 weeks during the year Ibroadly covering the same material as Alpha). In the latest course, there were 6 members, one of whom has consequently been baplised (see above). Members continue lo meet on a monlhty basis and a number of them are Inte￿sted in Rob and Emma's'Lel's Start at the Cross" weekend course. It is hoped to run a new Saints Alive course in 2026, $0 conl8cI Rob or Emma if you are inlerestedl In line with our commitment lo Saf8guarding, in consideration both of the recipients of our ministries and the volunteers who provide thern, we have drawn up a policy on Home Visiting and Home Communion. This is a complicated area, so the policy WIIS consist of a series of guidelines and best practice. The aim is lo strike a balance behveen safely and practical arrangements. Given the increasing volume and complexity of Safeguarding work, the PCC has been considering the resouTce requirements. We are very fortunate lo have an excellent Parish Safeguarding Officer in Charlie Palmer. but his workload is becoming challenging and il is also important to have resilience in thi5 role. Therefore, we are in the process of recruiting an additional PSO to work alongside Charlie.

Sl John The Evangelist Kenilvlorth, Tru51ee5' Annual Report 2025 S. Deanery Synod Report The Synod mel ￿lte in 2025 - in March and June year. Each meeting is an opportunity lo hear about the experience of 3-4 Parishes under the headings.. Battle, Breakthrough, and Blessing, and to pray for the churches. In June we also had a discussion about how we could support each other as Churches across the Deanery. A significant topic for discussion over the last year has been the structure of the synod. Informally, we have been operating jointly with Coventry South and, with David Hammond. sharing an Area Dean. Thig had been encouraged by the diocese, who also encouraged us to consider a formal merger of the deaneries. The consensus conclusion of the Synod was, however, lo pursue an independent Keniiworth Deanery. To lake this forward, Rev Ann Peachey has been appointed by Bishop Sophie lo be Area Dean for Kenilworth Deanery with Rev Eira Hale as Assistant Area Dean, The main item for the first meeting with Ann as Area Dean was a presentation on creating a safe church by Sarah Price, Diocesan Director of Safeguarding (followed ty questions).11 was also great lo continue the now established pattern of praying for three churches. Al the AGM we will be electing four repr85enlalives to the Deanery Synod, which foms the 818Ctorate for the forthcoming General Synod election so do consider standing.

Coventry Diocese and the Cathedral will undergo a joint INEQE audit against these standards in July 2026. The area that will need the most development is the voices of young people and engagement with survivors. Leadership culture, risk assessment and managemènt will also be evaluated whilst implementing recommèndations that have come from the reports this year. A major action that has already occurred is the changg of rob of Sarah Price, who is now the Diocesan Safeguarding Officer IOSOI, in line with the IICSA recommendations for increasing ndependence. As DSO. Sarah can act independently wilhoul permission from the Bishop, and has superyision from the National Safeguarding Team. Sarah's job lille is now Director of Safeguarding.

Sl John The Evangelist Kenilworth, Trustees, Annual Report 2025 General Synod feedback Jonathan Jee provided feedback on the February 2025 General Synod session where good ministry debates took place on encouraging ordinands from working class backgrounds, involving young people in synod, racial justice and sports and wellbeing ministry.

Legislation items included the replacement of the Clergy Discipline Measure, after nearly 3 years this is almost at final approval. Major work is ongoing for the National Church Governance Measure. aiming to simply and coordinate the different bodies more efficiently. Consideration of the Mission and Pastoral Measure has started, considering where the financial burden of fallow buildings should fall. Jonathan noted that Gill Frigerio sends her apologies for not convening a group in order to bring Diocesan Synod views lo the debates around the Crown Nominations Commission {CNCI and Vacancy in See. Theseworks resulied in changes lo represenlalions,. no more than on8 person from the same worshipping community can now b8 on a CNC. The session was dominated by safeguarding, the result was that m¢xlel 3 was selected, national independent scrutiny will be introduced and furthei consideration is to be given lo diocesan level independent scrutiny. Jonathan expressed that he feels that General Synod has made the righl decision. Little lime was given to Living in Love and Faith ILLFI, the theological work has not been completed yel. There is a lol of frustration and Diocesan Synod are due to be asked lo debate the rnaller with ￿sourceS provided lo aid constructive debate. OurShar8d Future- New Worshlpplng Communltle3 and Hèalthy Churches R&vd Jenny Irvine, Director of New Worshipping Communities and Healthy Churches. explained that new worshipping communities do not come out of nowhere. they are nomally the result of deep community interactions. Jenny shared some success stories of new worshipping communities forming, emphasising that a new worshipping community is new because il is reaching peopl& not currently in the church community, as our mission is to be the church in every community. The CofE slate that a new worshipping community must have two or more marks of mission and meet once a month or more and, in this diocese, Ihey musl have priestly oversight. Many ffesh expressions are new worshipping communities. There is a largel for there to be 150 new worshipping communities by 2030, so far there are 30 and there is great awareness to ensure that healthy new worshipping communities are planted. The Greenhouse pilot has led to there now being three Greenhouse projects and story sharing is lo be developed lo celebrate success and make projects more diverse.

St John The Evangeligt Kenilworth, Trustees, Annual Report 2025 Jul The Synod welcomed +Sophie to h8r first Diocesan Synod. Bishop Sophie spoke and sang with synod of the song that affirmed her call lo be Bishop of Coventry, shared her plans for the rest of this yeaf and prayed that God would share his love with us in this db)cese. The Annual General Meeting of the Coventry Dlocesan Board ol Finance Ltd steve Coomber. DBF Chair reported k8y highlights and obseNations from 2024. The financial result for 2024 was a deficit before investment gains of £1.2m. This was offset by both investment revaluations gains of £2,2m and the surplus on sale of investments of £4.7m leading lo an overall increase in lolal funds for the year of £5,7m. Total funds al the end of the year were£102.1m. In￿rne during the year, before the release of historic funds, was £11.Om versus £10.3m in 2023. At £5.2m parish share income represents a significant proportion of our income and we are working with Deaneries to improve communication and encourage positive dialogue where there are difficulties in meeting obligations. Total expenditure in 2024 was £12.2m, an increase of £0.5m compared to expenditu￿ of £11.7m in 2023 Financial suslainability remains 8 concern.
