Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document :

Guildford Methodist Church is registered under the Deed of Union of 1932 and the Methodist Church Act 1976 incorporating the Model Trusts. The governing document is The Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church (known as CPD).

Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees:

The Trustees are drawn from the membership of Guildford Methodist Church. Under CPD, the church has adopted a procedure permitted for smaller churches under which all members may serve on the Church Council, if they so wish, without the need for elections and without limit on time.

Induction and Training of Trustees:

Trustees have often already served or are serving on one or more of the committees or groups within the church. Induction and training is principally through discussion with established members of the Church Council and attendance at the Church Council meetings held around 3 times a year; and, for the Church Stewards, attendance at leadership meetings held every 1 to 2 months, depending upon need.

Organisational Structure:

Within the structure of The Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church, Guildford Methodist Church is governed by its Church Meeting and Church Council and with the assistance of the Stewards and the Pastoral Committee. The Church Council and Annual Church Meeting have oversight of committees and groups, and the Church Council is the managing trustee body.

Representatives of the church serve on the Joint Council with representatives of the Parish of Holy Trinity St. Mary's pursuant to the sharing agreement referred to below. Two Methodist members have been elected and serve as members of the PCC.

Risks to the Charity:

The principal risk to the charity has for some time been lack of human resources. This led to the Church closing its former building and moving to worship at the Anglican church of St Mary’s in Guildford town centre from 1 September 2013; on 6 July 2014 it entered into a sharing agreement with the Parish of Holy Trinity and St Mary’s.

Methodist Circuit

Guildford Methodist Church is part of the Wey Valley Methodist Circuit.

Objectives and Activities

The Aims of Guildford Methodist Church:

As part of the wider community, and together with the congregation of St Mary’s Guildford, it is the vision of Guildford Methodist Church locally to be a worshipping and welcoming community, working together with other Christians to share God’s love, through word and action, with the people of Guildford and further afield.

The achievement of this vision will be seen by:

Achievements and Performance

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Activities were significantly curtailed during the year as a result of Government restrictions and guidance.

At 31 August 2021 the total membership stood at 36 members. The effect on worship is described below. The restrictions on meetings, and changes in people’s circumstances, led to the suspension of our Housegroup and Tuesday Mix meetings although we seek to involve their attendees in other ways.

Safeguarding and other training:

All members requiring safeguarding training have attended such training.

Our policy is jointly agreed with the Parish and will continue to be reviewed annually.

ChitChat volunteers participate in regular training sessions.

Reports

Review of Progress and Achievements

Building improvements:

The year work saw completion of the major reordering of the building, implementing improvements which had been planned over several years. The works, largely funded from the proceeds of sale of the previous Guildford Methodist Church building, included the construction of improved access, a new Welcome area, a kitchen and a meeting room, as well as the installation of underfloor heating in the North Aisle. Although the church continued to worship in the building throughout the works, at times some weekday activities were relocated or curtailed to facilitate the building work.

Worship:

Our main weekly act of worship is a service at 10.30 each Sunday, with a variety of styles drawing on our Methodist and Anglican traditions. There is in addition an Anglican-led service of Holy Communion at 08.00 each Sunday morning (following the Book of Common Prayer) and on the third Sunday of each month we are joined by worshippers from other churches for Communion for Guildford. On a monthly basis the St Mary’s Choir participates in the service.

From March 2020 physical services were suspended for several months and transferred to Zoom. At times blended services were able to take place with some worshippers present in person in the church and others on Zoom. Our Zoom services were shared by other local Methodist churches and some worshippers from further afield.

There is a periodic Wey Valley Methodist Circuit evening service.

Worship services are led by Methodist and Anglican clergy, accredited lay preachers (including one of our members, Rosemary Lee) and other invited preachers. Worship is varied and endeavours to be inclusive.

Communication:

There is a weekly email which details worship for the week and other items for the attention of the congregation such as meetings and events in the church, circuit and local community and printed copies are provided to those members without email facilities. This is supplemented by a weekly Parish newsletter.

The Church also has a website: www.guildfordmethodist.org which contains information about services and events.

Mission and Outreach

During the year we continued to offer Lent and Advent series of weekly lunchtime Reflections but via Zoom where necessary. These Reflections are, typically attended by between 30 and 40 people from across Guildford and beyond.

The Common Ground ecumenical community, established to pursue mission and outreach and based at St Mary’s, continues to be central in undertaking our Outreach activities, in keeping with our objectives when Guildford Methodist Church moved to St Mary’s. In particular, Common Ground is responsible for our monthly Friday evening drop-in, Night Vision, which resumed opening when permitted under Covid guidance, and welcomes those out and about in Guildford to call in and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere of St Mary’s. https://www. commongroundguildford .org

Church Opening

Although sometimes constrained by our building work and for a long period by the Pandemic , weekday opening continued on Thursdays and Farmers’ Market Tuesdays, with additional days in August and the Heritage Weekend in September. We also open on special occasions at times of community concern or need.

We were delighted to be asked to host a Garden of Hope for the community in summer 2021– organised in conjunction with Guildford Borough Council, Experience Guildford, Guildford Town Centre Chaplaincy and Guildford Baptist Church. Planters in the Garden were themed for Remembrance, giving Thanks and Hope; acknowledging those whose lives were lost in the Pandemic, gratitude to those who worked so hard and looking forward to the future with hope. Hundreds of people called in to see the Garden and leave personal messages in the planters. Guildford Museum asked to add materials relating to the Garden of Hope to its Pandemic collection. We supplemented this with extra opening of the church, with supportive displays, and for several weeks an exhibition of textile art by Jacqui Parkinson entitled Good Grief.

ChitChat

ChitChat, our drop-in for international residents, grows from strength to strength with up to 35 international guests present each week and is much appreciated by those attending. By its nature, most of those attending are in Guildford for a limited period so there is a constant renewal as some guests move back to their home countries and others join. Refugees from a variety of countries represent an increasing proportion of guests. As well as helping guests to understand and practise English, ChitChat explains British traditions and helps answer questions on aspects of British life. Ecumenical participation is crucial to staffing ChitChat and we are very grateful to the volunteers from other churches who act as hosts.

ChitChat transferred to Zoom from the first lockdown and continued to flourish online, in part with some established guests joining from overseas having headed home from Guildford, until physical meetings were resumed.

Church Steward’s Report

The year under review was heavily impacted by the Pandemic and associated restrictions but it was so good to be back in person as our lockdown restrictions were relaxed.

My highlights are all linked to people - to you and to the other people coming to St Mary's and our opportunity to welcome them and chat, where they wish, or just allow them to soak up the spirituality of this building.

Of course, I am absolutely delighted by the outcome of our refurbishment works, conscious that the facilities and atmosphere of this building give us opportunities to attract, and engage with, people…

, and it's people that matter, not really the buildings

Yes, the building is helpful as a tool and a means to engage with people, but not an end in itself.

Our historic building provides a strong foundation for the meaningful encounters we enjoy at events described in this Report.

In a recent radio service, the speaker referred to church doors as being either a welcome or a barrier- physically, St Mary’s doors now offer more of a welcome but many people still require persuasion or at least a warm invitation to cross the threshold into a building which may be alien to their cultural position - or just plain scary.

People’s hesitation, nervousness and misplaced hesitation and concerns about what is expected of them ( am I dressed right, am I too loud, I’ve had a drink, my lifestyle isn’t acceptable ) can represent a real barrier but a warm welcome can break that down. That is the aim of our Opening ministry.

In summer 2021 we were saddened to learn that Keith Beckingham, our Methodist minister, planned to retire in 2022 but through the Methodist stationing process we have been fortunate that Rev Dr Paul Glass has agreed to take on that role from September 2022

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Keith Beckingham, Robert Cotton, the other Anglican and Methodist clergy and others who supported us during the year under review. I thank my fellow Stewards and all the members of the Church for their hard work and support and for the continued encouragement we receive from so many.

ANDREA CAMPION-SMITH Church Steward

Financial Review & Examined Accounts to 31 August 2021

Despite the challenges of the year, we are very fortunate that, through the loyalty of our members, our accounts again showed a surplus of income over expenditure, despite further expenditure on our programme to equip the improved building for its role for the church and the wider community, for which we had built up reserves. We also recognise the financial uncertainty brought about by the Pandemic and the pressure this is placing on many churches and charities. Our giving covered the Circuit assessment, normal operating expenses and external donations.

Although the Parish bears almost all the running costs of the St. Mary's building and retains responsibility for the structure, we have contributed to the building works from our reserves (in addition to substantial sums provided by the Wey Valley Circuit and the Methodist Connexion) and continue to contribute to expenditure on cleaning, the sound system and resources for activities at St Mary’s and modest donations have been made to the Parish by Church groups which use the building.

Our thanks go to the Treasurer for his work in relation to our finances.
