Christ Church Quinton Annual Report of the Parochial Church Council to the Charity Commission

From start 2021 to year end 2021

Aim and purposes

Christ Church Quinton is a congregation of the Church of England, and a lively, friendly group of Christians who are looking to grow in relationship with Jesus Christ and to serve him in our neighbourhood (the parish of Christ Church The Quinton, Birmingham City, Dudley MBC and Sandwell MBC, and the world).

Objectves and Actvites

We provide spiritual and pastoral support to all, through the provision of 2 regular Sunday services, and a full range of mid-week meetings. Work with children and young people is a priority at Christ Church and we have a part time youth worker. Work with children goes on at various times, not just on Sunday morning.

We also rent premises in the Brandhall part of the parish. It is run by Christ Church and has been a centre for service to the community in Brandhall and Quinton. However, during the pandemic through 2020 and into 2021, the activities formally held there all ended except for the Trussell Trust Food Bank. The centre undertook consultation with users and is currently reimagining its future as a Community Hub.

As a church we want to be there for people at all times of life. However, at key times our church can be involved in a special way, with services for the birth of a child, with weddings and with funerals.

Baptism and Thanksgivings

We regularly offer baptisms and thanksgiving services. We help families to decide which service is more suitable, and we want to make it an enjoyable and accessible experience

Weddings

We love conducting weddings in our beautiful church. We offer support and guidance through the legalities. We also offer marriage preparation to couples aimed to enrich their relationship before the big day.

Funerals

We have clergy who regularly take funerals either in church or in crematoria. We work with funeral directors and families to celebrate the life of loved ones and offer Christian hope for the future. We are keen to support families at a difficult time by offering ongoing pastoral support and twice a year we invite bereaved families into church for a memorial service.

Worship and Prayer

We have two regular services every Sunday.

8.30am Service - A traditional Holy Communion service.

10.30am Service - A contemporary service, with Holy Communion twice a month, with youth and children's activities.

We have evening services across the year:

A monthly 4pm service for families, with activities, worship and food. A pattern of healing service and memorial services at 6.30pm.

There are regular times of prayer during the week and Home Groups that meet for Bible Study and prayer.

Deanery Synod 4 members of the congregation are elected to attend the regular meetings of the Deanery Synod and provide reports to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is provided by both the clergy and a team of licensed lay people who have received appropriate training

Mission and Evangelism is supported locally through START and ALPHA courses. We also support mission worldwide through regular giving shared equally between Church Missionary Society in Paraguay, Quinton Youth for Christ, A Rocha Kenya, the Birmingham Diocesan Malawi link, Esperanza Foster Home Paraguay (via SAMS Ireland), Christian Solidarity Worldwide.

Volunteers

Many of the church members volunteer their time, both on a Sunday, and throughout the week enabling the activities and mission of the Church.

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of PCC members at Christ Church the Quinton is set out in the Church Representation Rules, and consists of the Incumbent and Assistant Priest, The Church Wardens, the 3 Readers and 4 Deanery Synod members. Also 12 members elected from the congregation at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

The Parochial Church Council members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.

The PCC meets every 2 months, and as well as the regular business of the Church (reports from

Deanery Synod, Fabric Committee, Mission Links sub-committee, Youth and Children's work, Finance Committee and work on the Old Burial Ground), PCC also considers its responsibilities and activities such as The Food Bank, The General Data Protection Regulations, Redevelopment of the old Caretakers House and Disabled Toilets, developed a Conflict of Interests policy, approved the Memorial Garden policy. In addition the council has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

Financial Review

Total Receipts on unrestricted funds were £162,261. Total expenditure was 167,742.

Reserves Policy It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on deposit (if possible) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments equivalent to £40,000 to cover emergency situations which arise from time to time. This reserve had been diminished over a number of years and we are still financially recovering from both Covid 19 pandemic and the loss of income from our Parish Hall which closed in January 2020.

Independent Examiner's report to the PCC of Christ Church The Quinton for the year ended 31st December 2021 This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31st December 2021 is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act). Respective responsibllltles of the PCC and the examlner As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(21 of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of Section 145 of the Act. 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. Basis of this report My examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect that either accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or - the accounts do not accord with these records. I have no concems, and I have not come across any other matters to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
