REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS CONTINUED……….
Our Objective for 2022 was “ To move from recovery to growth by the end of 2022.”
We aimed to achieve this objective by:
1. Growing locations - Continue to gather momentum in terms of influence within the local communities, as part of our Go initiatives, as well as growing the numbers of the congregation attending our locations, and start planning for the future expansion of OC.
2. Growing leaders - To further develop the Leadership Pipeline to a new level, by adding a CPD area for our senior network leadership team, and expanding the number of locations cohorts on the Pipeline.
3. Growing global engagement - To relaunch our international missions programme with trips planned to Poland, Zimbabwe, Philippines, Austria and Egypt, with the goal of mobilising our congregations to serve the nations again.
How well did we do?
The short answer is that we are making good progress in all objectives. It has been wonderful to see growth in the 3 key strategic areas, and the church becoming well known in the communities that it is represented and making a real difference in people’s lives. It is clear that people are behind the vision and charitable objectives and it has been good to see passion rise in people to outwork their faith.
1. Growing locations
All 4 UK locations have continued to grow in number and influence in their respective communities. Here are some highlights from across the locations.
One Church Bristol - Bristol has continued to play a very active part in their community with the Crèche and Carry programme, which is a community resource bank that continues to be the primary outreach work - It is full of community families each time. Attached to this regular event have been our Christmas Fair, a Winter quiz, Back to School packs and a summer family fun day. The generosity of the church is on display in all these events.
One Church Gloucester - Gloucester has gone through a substantial leadership change with the previous minister stepping down, and 3 pastors appointed to work as a core leadership team with individual portfolios. The transition has been brilliant, and support behind the new team fantastic. We are at capacity in our 2 services in Gloucester, so in 2023 will be looking to launch a new service to create more space to grow. The Go community programmes have started to gain traction and partnerships are forming with strategic partners in the city. We're currently seeing an ongoing increase in online traffic for our streamed services and have some wonderful stories of people’s lives being transformed and joining church all from finding us online.
One Church Keynsham - Keynsham has had continued growth in Sunday services, and had the largest attended church weekend away. Over 600 people have been reached through the community mission week with 10 new people having attended church following this and others planning to visit. We have had increased opportunities to serve our community, supporting refugees, victims of domestic violence and families struggling with the cost of living crises. We are building a stronger presence within the community through our community partnership and serve projects.
One Church Podsmead - Podsmead has become self-sufficient in terms of teams required to run services. Our Sunday service attendance is up around 40% on this time last year. We have launched a new discipleship/grow structure with record numbers. Our Go community events had 385 people in attendance, which is 10% of the local community reached. We have greater partnership with local community groups and are an active presence in the community.

2. Growing leaders
Unfortunately, we were unable to expand the leadership pipeline by an additional level, as mid-way through the course, it was evident that 18 months was too long, so this will need to be thought through for 2023. We also intend to use the Assemblies of God CPD platform to develop our senior leaders and so we didn’t need to work on an in house CPD platform in 2022. That being said, each location is running a leadership pipeline cohort, so collectively this year we have intentionally developed over 35 leaders on this course. We have also been part of 2 national pilot schemes for young leaders. Young Lions Juniors for ages 10-12 (6 delegates) and Young Lions Academy for ages 15-18 (15 delegates). Both pilot schemes have been a resounding success with these leaders developing in their faith and their personal confidence in leading.
3. Growing global engagement
We are still re-establishing our global engagement with partners, but this year managed to send teams to Poland, Zimbabwe, Philippines, Austria and Egypt, mobilising around 40 volunteers on these trips. This has been a slower area to mobilise post Covid due to inflated costs of international travel, and people less willing to travel internationally.
Our Objective for 2023 is to: Create spaces, Disciple people, Raise leaders & Plant churches.
We aim to achieve this objective by:
Creating Spaces - We want to create more room for expansion. Spaces aren’t just Sunday services, we are aiming to reach out into the community further, by opening a café in Podsmead and running various Alpha courses in local coffee shops. Our discipleship structure (see below point) will be facilitated in different spaces too. Our Gloucester location will be looking to run a third service to create more space. We will be starting a building refurbishment project in Gloucester to create some more space at our central location. This is likely to be a multiple year project, starting in 2023.
Disciple People - We are looking at re-designing our discipleship structure across One Church to support the people better. This will involve running various discipleship courses and increasing opportunities for people to serve in the community to outwork their discipleship.
Raise leaders - The leadership pipeline will be simplified to allow leaders to be trained in a more streamlined way - alongside their current leadership roles. Location pastors will be challenged to think about how better to develop emerging leaders and spot talent from a young age. We will also look at how we develop some of our more senior leaders too, utilising Assemblies of God CPD systems. We will also be looking to bolster our international engagement and will be appointing someone into an International Pastor role to oversee international projects.
Plant churches - Our desire is to plant churches to reach into more communities sharing the love of Jesus. We will be creating a church planting strategy to enable this. We have started looking at planting a church location in Tewkesbury, and want to develop this further by the end of 2023 by starting the planning towards a Cheltenham location too.
2022 could have been a tough year with the various leadership transitions, but the teams came together well, galvanised in unity, and have made good progress towards the aims of the charity. We are in a very strong position moving into 2023 and we look forward to see the expansion across our network.

ONE CHURCH REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS CONTINUED……….
Structure, Governance and Management
There are two main oversight bodies within One Church governance structure, these are: One Church Apostolic Team (AT) and the Charities Board of Directors (BoD). Both bodies have clearly defined and different roles. The AT is responsible for the spiritual oversight, visionary direction and coaching of the key leaders across One Church; the BoD is responsible for ensuring all legal, regulatory and financial requirements are adhered to and that suitable supporting governance, control and management structures are in place to support the outworking of the charity's aims and goals. Both the AT and BoD teams are diligent in how they engage with and inform the other team concerning the charity. There are now 6 members of the AT, at least 2 of these members also attend the BoD meetings. Also, there are designated days and sessions where the two teams are brought together. For the second consecutive year (January 2022 & 2023) we have had some training delivered by DIALOGIX, specifically aimed at upskilling those on both teams concerning cross team communications.
Kevin Martin, the Chair of the BoD, has begun his process of transitioning his tenure of Chair over to Ian Andrews, this was completed on the 1[st] June 2023, and all details concerning Kevin stepping down as a Trustee have been logged with both Companies House and the Charities Commission.
The Leadership and Board of One Church would like to put on the record their thanks and appreciation to Kevin, for doing such a terrific job as chair throughout the last nine years with great skill, wisdom and determination. We are undoubtedly a stronger charity and organisation due to his endeavours and leadership of the Board.
Each Director within the BoD holds a specific portfolio of responsibility, e.g. Finance, Risk, Safeguarding etc. This structural change introduced 18 months ago is now well embedded; the benefits that flow from giving each Director the opportunity to bring their own expertise /experience to that area within the charity is increasingly apparent. The charity continues to look to both backfill and expand the expertise of its BoD, and to also ensure that we continue to strike the right balance between those directors who are (or have family members who are) in receipt of remuneration from the charity and those who are not. We also have a pro-bono independent consultant with the role of providing additional support and challenge around decision making.
The Board meets at least half-yearly but will gather more frequently if required (for example through the COVID-19 pandemic). These meetings help with strategic and process decision-making. Shaping the future direction of the church/charity, in line with the spiritual and visionary direction provided by the Apostolic and Location Leadership Teams. These Board meetings also provide an opportunity for the support and encouragement of the Board to filter down to the various locations as and when needed. An example would be with the appointing of the new Location Leadership Team for the Gloucester congregation.
One Church employs an Operations Executive (OE) who also holds the post of Company Secretary. The OE is accountable to the Chair of trustees/directors for all day-to-day aspects relating to the management and governance of the charity/company. The OE is also now supported by those members of the board of trustees/directors who have assumed oversight for particular areas of governance.
In line with the Finance Policy of One Church, the monitoring and control of the overall annual budget is delegated to the OE, who is supported in this role by the Finance Lead. In 2022 One Church successfully recruited a new Finance Lead, Lucy. Lucy is responsible for the day-to-day management of One Church’s finance processes, the reporting of any financial anomalies or developing trends, as well as any failings within our Financial controls/processes. Lucy also supports the various Heads of Departments who have delegated responsibility for the fiscal management of their departments across the One Church Locations.

Structure, Governance and Management con�nued
The Directors and the OE would like to have put on record that Lucy is doing an outstanding job and acknowledge how quickly and superbly Lucy has performed and adapted to such a key role. Again the Church leadership would like to acknowledge its indebtedness to Lucy’s predecessor Paul, who has continued to coach and mentor Lucy in her role.
Annual staff pay awards are delegated to a sub-group of trustees/directors, who subsequently make their recommendations to the full board. Throughout 2021 and into 2022, this team undertook a thorough pay and grading review to ensure that roles and responsibilities were appropriately assessed and enumerated. This team's findings and suggestions for changes were presented to and approved by the BoD in April 2022.
One Church continues to be members of Assemblies of God UK’s network of Churches. This partnership does not affect One Church’s operational policies. The partnership does help One Church with its continual improvement of its processes and policies. As part of the network, One Church is obliged to provide an annual contribution of 3% of its unrestricted donations (including Gift Aid reclaim).
Any transactions entered with related parties of the senior management team and/or trustees is subject to robust scrutiny under the parameters set up in the conflict-of-interest policy. Details of all such related parties' transactions are detailed within the notes of the accounts and/or recorded within the minutes of each Board meeting where that conflict-of-interest may be a consideration.
One Church has a close working relationship with One Community Gloucester, particularly in relation to the project known as One Church Housing. The two charities have the same trustees.
Trustees
The church is required to have at least three trustees/directors at any one time, one of whom is the senior leader, Simon Jarvis.
Where a replacement is required or it is deemed necessary to strengthen the team, the senior leader in discussion with the chair of trustees, will nominate a potential new trustee/director who demonstrates the relevant experience, skills and commitment. This nomination is then considered by the full board of directors/trustees.
The induction of new directors/trustees includes the provision of appropriate literature from the Charity Commission and Companies House, which details the role and responsibilities of the position. In addition, meetings are held with the chair of trustees in which the internal workings of the charity/church are discussed.
Except for employment benefits (which are disclosed in the accounts), no trustee has any beneficial interest in the company/charity, (although all of the trustees are members of the church), but guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
Volunteers
To achieve its charitable objectives One Church is hugely indebted to its army of volunteers, who number between 250-300 individuals. These support all areas of church life, from volunteering in the offices, running our youth and kids outreaches, to playing instruments in our Sunday services.

Financial review
Income
2022 has been a year of steady growth and immense generosity. We would like to express our con�nued sincere apprecia�on and say a massive thank you to our One Church family, friends and supporters who have con�nued to give generously towards the work of One Church, despite the cost of living crisis we are all facing. The following table gives a breakdown of income for the last two years, and as you will see, total income for 2022 was £802,207, a massively generous increase of £155,832 or 24% (2021 : £646,375).
Dona�ons to the general fund increased by £40,925 (or 8%) and dona�ons to restricted funds increased by £55,965 (or 297%). The large increase in restricted dona�ons is mainly due to an offering taken at our annual We Are One conference where money was raised for Pastor Kennedy to fund the purchase of a new truck to help him con�nue the fantas�c work he is doing with our One Church Zimbabwe family. The large increase in general offerings comes despite the country facing an ever-increasing cost of living crisis and reflects the generous hearts of our One Church family and friends.
beyond the walls of the church. The total of £107,395 represented 13% of our total income in 2022 and, without this income, we may have had to make with some difficult decisions to ensure the on-going viability of some of our projects.
Income from charitable ac�vi�es is well and truly back up and running and, with the excep�on of income from mission trips, the figures are back to or ahead of what they were pre-pandemic. In 2022 we saw the return of some interna�onal trips and the upward trend is expected to con�nue in 2023.
Our One Church family, friends and supporters’ giving via general giving is, by far, the largest element of total income and these unrestricted funds are instrumental in allowing us to fulfil our charitable aims and vision as well as helping to underpin our overall opera�ons.
Again, for any taxpayers who haven’t yet signed a gi� aid declara�on, can we please encourage you to do so? This will increase your giving by an extra 25p for every £1 you give. If you would like further informa�on, please email us at info@weareone.church
For those who have already signed a declara�on, thank you. Can we please remind you to no�fy us promptly (using the above email address) if your circumstances change and par�cularly if you are no longer a taxpayer. We would not wish you to be faced with a tax bill for gi� aid we have claimed by relying on your declara�on.

Expenditure
Total expenditure for 2022 amounted to £788,889 compared to £630,929 in 2021, an increase of 25%. This increase is in large part due to having a whole year when we could operate as normal without any covid restric�ons in place.
The following table gives a breakdown of our expenditure:
Overall the amount we spent directly on local church ac�vi�es increased by £72,429 to £522,677.
-
pay award that is in keeping with increases in the cost of living.
-
The amount we spent on other church ministry expenses increased by £60,248 to £161,835 following the easing of pandemic restric�ons. We spent more on ac�vi�es such as camps and retreats for young people and adults, on local ac�vi�es at our various loca�ons and on training.
This year we also increased our support for mission by £81,328 to £121,965. Our interna�onal mission trips resumed and during the year we spent £27,457 (2021: £nil) on these. We also increased our support for our mission partner in Zimbabwe by £46,920. Our support for mission included mission trips and grant making to support those affected by the war in Ukraine.
Expenditure on support and administra�on was nearly unchanged and increased by just £4,204 to £144,247.

Financial Summary
Total income for 2022 amounted to £802,207 (2021: £646,375) and total expenditure stood at £788,889 (2021: £630,929).
The net result was a surplus of £13,318 (2021: £15,446) for the year.
We ended the year with net assets of £1,208,231 (2021: £1,194,913), of which £118,856 was in general funds, £1,039,683 was held in designated funds and £49,692 was held in restricted funds.
and cash investments of £798,750 and other net current liabili�es of £27,142. Cash and cash investments of £798,750 includes restricted cash of £57,174, £113,887 in general funds (to help fund the charity’s day to day ac�vi�es) and £627,689 is held in designated funds (mainly for building projects and as a con�ngency for unforeseen events such as the recent pandemic).
con�nued financial support of our One Church family, friends and supporters. It is therefore important that we iden�fy any variances in this support at an early stage. To help us do this we monitor income weekly and we produce monthly management accounts to help us monitor both income and expenditure. Plans for expenditure are reviewed robustly, par�cularly before major projects are signed off. This early warning system allows us to consider whether any correc�ve ac�on needs to be taken - whether this be reducing our core overheads or, in extreme circumstances, scaling back or cancelling certain events and/or projects.
Reserves Policy
The trustees/directors recognise the importance of a reserves policy to help demonstrate good stewardship and financial management and to manage its reputa�on.
-
To demonstrate that the church/charity is sustainable into the future;
-
purpose.
Our calcula�ng processes are considered in three parts:
- Resources that the charity holds in its general fund, which are used to cover day to day opera�onal cashflow requirements and is the first call to cover any poten�al or agreed budgetary deficits. The trustees are sa�sfied that the charity can comfortably operate with the current level of general fund reserves, which at the year end amounted to £118,856. The trustees review these reserves regularly to ensure that that they remain adequate.
Page 11
ONE CHURCH REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS CONTINUED……….
Financial review: Reserves Policy con�nued
-
Resources set aside in a designated con�ngency reserve fund, which are there to protect the church/charity against future financial uncertain�es including loss of income and unexpected increases in opera�ng costs. To this end, the trustees have concluded that, in normal circumstances, the charity should aim to hold con�ngency reserves of not less than 3 months’ running costs (currently circa £50,000 per month) and no more than £200,000. At the year end £150,000 was held in this reserve fund.
-
venture or planned future commitment. In this respect, at the year end, the charity held £431,000 in a designated fund created to help maintain or purchase church property.
The trustees note that, should the need arise, some of the charity's designated funds could also be used to help meet opera�ng expenditure.
One Church weathered the economic storm faced by the whole of the charitable sector during the Covid pandemic. Now in the face of a cost-of-living crisis we believe we have maintained sufficient liquid funds to ensure we will be able to meet our on-going commitments.
Going Concern
to operate as normal for the foreseeable future. It is able to meet its obliga�ons as they fall due, and there are no plans to close the charity or to significantly curtail its opera�ons.
Grant Making Policy
Gi�s to external organisa�ons and individuals are considered by the trustees/directors on the basis of need and the fulfilment of the charitable objec�ves. There are no upper or lower limits of support. The Generosity Fund Policy sets out the parameters under which such grant applica�ons are considered and authorised.
Investments
periods. This ensures we have sufficient liquid funds to meet our obliga�ons as they fall due. Our investment policy sets out the parameters for such accounts in greater detail.
Fundraising
One Church does not fundraise from the general public and third party organisa�ons, and there are no plans to undertake such in the foreseeable future.
Pension Liabili�es
pension schemes or our arrangements with NEST are on a defined contribu�ons basis only.

KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Directors of One Church acknowledge that the responsibility for the management and control of the church rests with them. They understand that an integral part of this management and control is in the area of risk management, the mi�ga�on of recognised risk and the acknowledgment of residual risk.
One Church has a Risk Management Policy in place as well as other policies and tools suppor�ng them with the mi�ga�on of risks. These include (but are not limited to); One Church’s Safeguarding Policy, Health & Safety Policy, Volunteer Policy, the use of logic documents and its Risk Register. Risks are categorised into 5 main areas:
-
Governance risks – including strategic and leadership
-
Opera�ons risks
-
Financial risks
-
External risks
-
Compliance with the law and other regula�ons
uses a risk heat map that rates the risk from 2 (insignificant and remote) to 30 (catastrophic and highly probable). The scoring uses the formula xy+y (x is likelihood and y is impact). This formula mul�plies impact with likelihood then adds a weigh�ng again for impact:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. They have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going Concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
a) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
-
b) Donations in kind. Donated facilities, services, fixed assets and goods are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity.
The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from conferences, events, courses and mission trips.
The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
SORP requires charities with income over £500,000 to allocate costs to the various activities undertaken by the charity. The nature of the work of the church is considered to be so integrated that the core charitable activity costs are considered to be for the one activity.
d) Funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
2 Accounting Policies continued
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £5,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold property in Gloucester Over 50 years Freehold property in Bristol Over a prudent estimate of its useful life, which is currently 5 years Equipment Between 3 and 7 years
The trustees note that the Bristol property (which was donated to the charity in 2019) comes with restrictive covenants that reduces its value.
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Social investments
Social investments are investments where the primary motive is to further the charity's objects, not to generate an investment return. Social investments are measured at cost less impairment.
g) Cash at bank , cash in hand and current asset investments Cash at bank and cash in hand comprises cash that can either be accessed immediately or at short notice. It includes petty cash, cash in bank current accounts and bank deposits that mature within three months.
Current asset investments comprise bank deposits and other cash investments that mature after three months. Current asset investments are recognised at fair value, which is generally their market value at the balance sheet date.
h) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
i) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
j) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).
k) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
