## **Offington Park Methodist Church** ## **Trustees Report for the year ending 31[st] August 2022** ## **1. Objectives and activities** In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Church Council now meets six times a year under the leadership of the presbyter in Pastoral Charge. Our mission statement – This church exists to live the Good News of Jesus in word and action, and build an inclusive community where everyone can come and fulfil their God-designed potential. The church continues to look at areas within Our calling in order to focus on all areas of the churches life and has adopted some Targets under the headings of Communication, Pastoral care, Worship and Spirituality, Discipleship and Rhythm of Mission. These are used as guidelines in stewards and church council meetings to focus our work. ## **2. Achievements and performance** The church family are made up of a wide age range but have recognised that the majority of the congregation are chronologically older. However, they have understood the need for offering a wide range of services and activities that cater to all ages and actively encourage new ideas. Our church administrator retired during this time and due to much reduced income the church made a decision to employ a new church administrator for just 8 hours a week and look to a number of volunteers to be on a the welcome desk once the church was able to open again, in order for the administrator not to be the first port of call with issues that can easily be dealt with by others. This has proved very successful and has taken the burden of workload away from the administrator. Fun church has been well received being face to face again as has messy church and breakfast church. Regular use of facebook and a new closed ( by invitation only) group on Instagram continues to give the church a presence within the community. Uniformed organisations are back to meeting face to face this year. The evening prayer group which was initiated for a season during the pandemic has now stopped, but the church and its members are upheld regularly by the power house of prayer a group which has met for many years for this purpose. Bible study is being held weekly and for those who are unable to come there is a Zoom facility. Weddings and baptisms have been celebrated this year including those that were postponed until it was safe for the church to meet. Church council met and communicated with the church during specially run sessions on God in Love Unites us. They gave a very clear majority vote that same sex couples would be welcome to get married at Offington Park and both the minister and the other authorised person agreed to perform these ceremonies. The first Same sex blessing was held in September 2022. The minister continued to officiate at funerals during the pandemic and in the future will work hard at creating opportunities to invite people back to celebrate lives that were sadly unable to be celebrated with family and friends. This has been done by the leadership team due to the minister’s husband dying in September. The pastoral team keep in contact with members and adherents by telephone and those who are unable to join services online. The weekly post out of services has now stopped. Pastoral friends have been introduced who write, or phone and then pass any concerns onto the pastoral co-ordinator. All communion services are now face to face and one has been held during Christmas due to the Methodist Church re examining communion on line. Tuesday lunches provided a take away service and a real life line to those who were housebound and continue this for those who are unable to attend dure to illness. The group has been extended by inviting a local group from Guild Care to join them. ## **Plans for future years** To continue to be open to new ways of delivering the Good News in and around this community by opening the church on four days a week for people to drop in for tea/coffee and fellowship. To continue to encourage the growth of intergenerational worship offering a wide variety of relevant and vibrant worship. To nurture those already part of the church through growth in small groups. To ensure safeguarding continues to be a priority whether on line or otherwise. To prioritise those activities which are life giving and growing and to stop those which are not now benefiting the church. ## **3. Financial Review** The Examined Account for the year ending 31st August 2022 shows a surplus of £7,440. The majority of this was due to a rebate from the West Sussex (Coast & Downs) Circuit, a slow return to normal lettings activity as the year progressed and additional income from a 90[th] anniversary fundraising effort. The Church works hard to keep expenditure levels as low as possible and to keep the buildings in good repair. ## **Investment policy and performance** The General Funds comprise £22,875 held locally and £46,950 held in TMCP Model Trust Funds. Some reserves were used during the year and unfortunately the remaining funds performed poorly resulting in a decrease of £6,949. ## **Reserves Level and policy** The Reserves Policy agreed by Church Council is a tiered approach as follows: A) A lower limit of 25% of turnover based on covering a significant ‘one-off’ expense (probably property-related). If the reserves fell below this an action plan would be mandated to restore the minimum balances. B) A working band of 25%-50% of turnover would be considered the norm, wherein spend would be considered on a project by project basis which schemes merited funding. C) An upper limit of 50% of turnover, above which Church Council would actively consider spending ## **4 Trustees’ Responsibilities** For each financial year ending on 31[st] August the Managing Trustees are required to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Church’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing these financial statements the Managing Trustees must: Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. This will clearly be a challenge once the church can meet in person again. Follow applicable accounting standards Prepare accounts to comply with the Charities SORP The Managing Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and enables them to ensure that financial statements comply with the law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the District and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **4.1 Risk** The church operates within a sound control framework which allows it to function effectively. Processes in place are regularly reviewed and cover typical church activities such as recording and handling income, recording and controlling expenditure, management of restricted funds, effective budgeting, general financial controls and the review of investments. ## **5.Structure, governance and management** The Church is governed by the Methodist Church Act 1976, the Deed of Union and the Model Trust Deeds of the Methodist Church. ## **5.1 Structure** Offington Park Methodist Church is part of the West Sussex ( Coast and Downs) Circuit. As such it is represented on the Circuit Meeting which meets three times a year. The Methodist Conference meets once each year as the supreme denominational body for all Methodist Churches. 1. Overall regulatory authority rests with the Methodist Conference. 2. The Connexional Office implements decisions made by the Conference and is responsible for the stationing of presbyters and deacons (collectively known as ministers) in individual Circuits within the District. 3. Connexional decisions are passed to the Chair of the District and the appropriate officers of the District for implementation. 4. The District passes down to Circuit level for implementation by the Superintendent Minister, ministerial staff and Circuit Stewards, and authority is delegated to the Circuit Meeting for certain matters. 5. The Circuit Meeting passes regulatory control down to Church Councils for local implementation by the presbyter, the Church Stewards, and other officers, and this regulatory control is then exercised by the Church Councils as Managing Trustees of their charity. ## **5.2 Purpose of the Church** The purposes of the Methodist Church are and shall be deemed to have been since the date of union the advancement of: - a) The Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and the discipline of the Methodist Church, and - b) Any charitable purposes for the time being of any Connexional, District, Circuit, local or other organisation of the Methodist Church, and, - c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any society, or institution subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church, and - d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a subsidiary or ancillary of the Methodist Church. The primary purpose of Offington Park Methodist Church is to advance the Christian faith by providing opportunities for worship, Christian nurture and fellowship within the wider Worthing Community. ## **5.3 Governance** The Church operates within a statutory framework of regulation and seeks to ensure that it follows Methodist Standing Orders. It relies on the Connexional Office at 25 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5JR to provide guidance on changes that could affect the Church. The members of the Church Council are appointed under the terms of S.O. 610(2). The Superintendent is _ex officio_ chair of the Church Council but may delegate this task to other presbyters in the Circuit. The Church Council normally meets three times per year and deals with routine and exceptional matters. It oversees the work of other groups within the life of the Church. ## **5.4 Responsibilities of the Church Council** The responsibilities of the Church Council and other committees are set out in Standing Orders 603 – 604 of the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church. ## **6.
