The Standing Committee is a subset of the PCC. Its job is to carry out the work of the full PCC between PCC meetings, for example, if something urgent arises which does not justify calling an Extraordinary Meeting of the whole PCC. Members of the Standing Committee are elected and approved by the full PCC, and usually serve for a term of three years (renewable). It meets bi-monthly in between PCC meetings, or as required. It is made up of:
-
§ Vicar
-
§ Treasurer
-
§ 2 Churchwardens
-
§ 3 further PCC members

The day-to-day management has been delegated to the incumbent.
1) Governance & Management
The functioning and purpose of the PCC is outlined in the Parochial Church Council’s Powers and Measures 1956.
Constitution
The PCC is a corporate body constituted under Trust Deed dated 19[th] June 2009. Registered Charity No. 1130248.
The PCC membership is appointed as follows:
Vicar (all clerks in Holy Orders beneficed in or licensed to the parish)
The Vicar is appointed by the Church Patrons and the position is under ‘Common Tenure’.
Churchwardens
Churchwardens are elected annually at the APCM Vestry Meeting.
4
Deanery Synod Representatives
Deanery Synod representatives are elected by the Church membership (those on the electoral roll) at the APCM. Deanery Synod members serve for a three-year term. Vacancies that arise during the year are filled by PCC appointment. Deanery Synod representatives represent the Church at the Deanery Synod of Tunbridge Wells.
Readers Licensed to the Parish
Readers can be appointed as members of the PCC at the APCM.
Church Representatives
Church Representatives on the PCC are elected by the Church members (those on the electoral roll) at the APCM meeting. Church Representatives serve for a three-year term.
Co-opted Members
The PCC can co-opt up to two members at any one time.
2) Objectives and Activities
The main activities are the provision of church services, baptisms, weddings, funerals, youth/children’s work and the promotion of the Christian faith through biblical teaching, pastoral care and the provision of opportunities to serve in a range of community based as well as church activities. In addition, Christ Church serves the local community by allowing its facilities to be used by a large number of community groups.
When planning our activities for the year, the Vicar and the PCC have considered the commission’s guidance on public benefit and its guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Our mission statement is ‘playing our part in the spiritual and social transformation of Tunbridge Wells and beyond’ and each year the PCC reviews the strategic development plan to ensure all its activities are promoting and developing the vision. To this end, our aim is to enable people both within our parish and beyond, to live out their faith and become strong, confident followers of Christ. Primarily this involves:
-
§ Worship, prayer and teaching from the Bible
-
§ Developing a knowledge of, and trust in Jesus Christ
-
§ Provision of pastoral care for those in the church and parish
-
§ Missionary and outreach work within the community
-
§ Supporting overseas mission partners
3) Achievements and Performance
Ministry Highlights
-
Several midweek courses have been held including the ‘emotionally healthy spirituality’ course and the Alpha course.
-
In late January of ‘23, almost 60 life group and ministry leaders went away on a leaders retreat to East Horsley.
-
A large group went to the New Wine summer conference, including around 40 youth.
-
Various team members have undertaken outside commitments both speaking at other churches and events and leading worship. This is very much part of our minster vision.
-
The festival of mission weekend in October was a very inspiring event (with a guest preacher who was an escapee from North Korea)
-
Welcoming and integrating many new people into the life of the church through an enhanced welcome and induction process overseen by the curate, Rob.
5
-
Men’s and women’s events have continued throughout the year as have mid-week life groups, Sparklers, ‘Thrive’ café, Golden Years, Connect team and MOLO.
-
The wider pastoral team has continued to meet monthly to provide support for those in pastoral ministry.
-
Sunday services continue to be well-attended and a joint service at Bennett school in November was a huge success with 350 adults and over 100 children attending.
Staffing
-
In May ’23 we welcomed our new curate, Rob Byrne (and his wife, Alice and 2 children). The PCC
-
is renting a 4 bedroomed property for them on the Broadwater estate.
-
Sherry Taylor left as Ops manager in August and after considerable discussion and review, we appointed a new ‘Director of operations’ in November
-
Our youth pastor, Jacob Mayho, left in September and we were unable to immediately recruit a replacement. However, the wider youth ministry team has stepped up and are continuing to deliver the youth program.
In 2023 the PCC has focussed its attention on:
-
The building project . Costings for the proposed project were consistently in the £4-£5 million range. In March, the project was launched to a group of 40+ members of the church to seek feedback as to the way forward. There was consensus that the project was needed and some trepidation around the scale of the cost. In the summer of ’23, our architects went into administration. New architects have now been engaged and the process of fundraising is in the initial stages.
-
Ensuring compliance with all necessary buildings regs (fire, health and safety) and keeping building-maintenance up to date.
-
The conversation around the ‘Living in love and faith’ proposals. This has been challenging on a number of levels and the PCC agreed to back the clergy’s recommendation that the ‘prayers of love and faith’ will not be used at Christ Church.
-
Personnel. The PCC sub-committee has undertaken a detailed review of the administration and operations team and monitored staff performance and actioned inflationary-linked pay rises.
-
Fundraising. Despite the financial uncertainties of 2023, it is also quite extraordinary that voluntary giving has once again increased during the year, enabling us to fulfil all our financial commitments as well as maintaining the charity commissioners recommended three months of operating costs and salaries in-hand as reserves.
-
Actively managing and promoting a culture of safeguarding throughout the church.

4) Financial Review
More details can be found in the 2023 annual report and financial statements, but some of the highlights include:
-
A net expenditure budget of £16,063 was agreed for 2023. We give thanks to God that the actual result for 2023 was net income of £48,334 (2022: expenditure of £20,361). The movement on funds during 2023 is summarised as follows:
-
Restricted funds increased by £9,931 (2022: £606) to £14,435 on 31 December 2023
-
Unrestricted Funds increased by £38,403 (2022: they decreased by £20,967) to £548,791 at 31 December 2023 (2022: £510,388)
The 2023 total income was £702,318 being 17.8 % more than in 2022: (£596,162). 2023 was therefore a very encouraging year financially, as well as in other ways as stated elsewhere in the annual report. Increasing costs have had a significant impact on many people as well as on church expenditure during 2023. It is good that reserves were built up in 2023 following the reduction experienced in 2022. Despite the challenging circumstances of 2023, voluntary giving to Christ Church was at an encouraging level, much of which was given tax efficiently. Tax repayments to Christ Church totalled £91,736 in 2023 (2022: £70,943), a 29% increase. Tax effective giving by members who have signed Gift Aid declarations is very much appreciated. It enables some tax paid by individuals to further the ministry of Christ Church. The PCC therefore continue to encourage tax effective giving by all members who pay, or have deducted, income and/or capital gains tax. May this financial support of churches and charities continue to be provided by the authorities. We trust that in 2024 the level of voluntary giving will again be encouraging, enabling the mission and ministry of the church to be effective, and the PCC commitments achieved.
During the year, we used Mustard Payroll services for all payroll processing, and our PCC staff for bookkeeping. All payments to suppliers, mission partners and all other third parties were processed internally. Major expenditure items in 2023, included staffing, ministry costs, property costs, support of mission partners and payment of the parish share, which is used to support clergy, training and other support for parish ministry. More information about the fixed assets, and the depreciation policy of the PCC can be found in the 2023 annual financial statements.
On behalf of all in the church I would like to thank those who have served in providing advice, management, and the processing of the finances, including John Averill, the Treasurer, Anthony Bennett, Sherry Taylor, Teresa Bailey and Stephen East for his diligent and confidential management of all Free Will Offerings and Gift Aid tax repayments.
Finally, a big thank you to all of you who have supported the church financially in 2023, your faithfulness enables the work of the Kingdom to continue through our efforts at Christ Church.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period.
In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:
- § select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
7
-
§ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
§ state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
§ prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
The PCC’s 2023 accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis as a going concern charity.
5) Reserves Policy
The PCC has adopted a policy, as recommended by the Diocese, aimed at keeping a balance of unrestricted funds, if possible, equivalent to at least three months unrestricted payments during the previous year, to cover any emergency situations that may arise. The PCC agree that this aim is adequate going forward, having been achieved in 2023. For 2024, this equates to the PCC holding unrestricted reserves of £160,244 (2023: £149,876) or more.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Parochial Church Council of Christ Church Tunbridge Wells
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31[st ] December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
