## Trinity Methodist Church Wesleyan Row, Parson Lane, Clitheroe, BB7 2JY ## Trustees ‘ Annual Report & Accounts 2022/2023 ## Public Beneft Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe has the following mission statement: ‘By encouraging each other to grow in faith and make new disciples of Jesus Christ, we seek to re-vitalise our Christian witness in the Ribble Valley’. To encourage its continued growth, the church – i.e. the body of people who meet regularly to worship and grow in faith so that they can ensure that their relationship with God is reflected in their everyday lives – continues to provide a base for many additional activities to the Sunday services. Trinity Church, Clitheroe, provides a place for the public to use for weddings, baptisms and funerals as well as many other events as necessary. The church continues to grow with adults and children asking to become members. The church is open to the public and we make extra effort to invite the general public for the main Christian services such as Easter, Harvest and over Christmas. We see new faces at these services and often a few of these will continue to come throughout the year. The church was recently renovated which included glass front doors to make the church more welcoming and open to the general public. There are many social activities held at the church such as: - Pizza the Acton an opportunity for teenagers in the area to come for a fun evening with organised game and a takeaway, this is also open to people who do not attend the church. Treasure Seekers is the junior church with children from babies to teenagers meeting on a Sunday morning to enjoy age appropriate activities and time to share together and learn about Bible teaching and faith. The church has received the accolade of being ‘A Child Friendly Church’. Other Children’s actvites: A t times the Church run a summer holiday club and there is a group called ‘Live Wire’ on a Friday afternoon. The church hall is used by the Girl Guiding Society and Scouts weekly. Trinity Tots is a toddler group run weekly during term time and offers a 2hr 15 minute session of crafts, toys, games, songs, snacks and free play, as well as a brew for the parents. This is attended by over 25 children at each session and is run by volunteers. It is open to the general public and the majority of the users do not attend the church on a Sunday. Drama Club: use the building to practise and perform shows at least once a year. Community Hub: following development of our back buildings and attaching them to the church we have a lot of new opportunities. Creating the facilities in the first place represented an impressive achievement by the church. The concept, however, was never about a building itself , but what it could do for the church and its mission. Achieving the principal aim of the Hub will require a similar focus. Since the development there has been a significant increase in the number of lettings, and there are plans for specific décor and adaptations as the needs of clients become known. The Team has focussed on ensuring that these developments are sustainable and viable.
