Overall Annual Revlew
We were encouraged in 2023 by new members joining our congregatlon and an increasin8 commltment of
exlstlng members to grow in maturity as dlsclples grounded in the teaching of the bible.
The disquiet within the congregation, resulting from the result of the House of Bishops commendlng'readings
and prayers, Indicative of J departure from the doctrine of the Church of England on marriage, has been
$58nlflcant and has resulted In a notable weakenln8 of Ilnancial support.

FINANaAL REVIEW
Reeelpts and Expendlture
Total recelpts to the General fund were £55,610, of whlch £25,760 was from regular planned 8lvln8 and
£3,622 from one<Jff donations and the cash plate. Gift Aid contrlbuted £6,131, wlth legacles addlng a
further £5,000, 8rant5, in¢ludin8 £2,800 net insurance pro£eed5, of £5,448 and charltable actlvitles £2,284.
Trading Actlvlties generated £6,774 of gross income. Over311, thls represented a near halvin8 of annual

Falth'l by stopplng thelr glvlng to the Church of England.
As regards the other funds, Deslgnated Income totalled £4,687, whilst Restrirted Inwme totslled £4,867, of
whl¢h £2,724 was from planned 8lv5n8 and E654 from Glft Ald.
£112,944 of unrestrScted funds were spent provldlng the ChTlstlan minlstry of the Church, Includlng
£69,806 allocatlon for the Parlsh Share that largely provlde5 for the clergy stlpends, housln8 and penslons,
although only £29,087 was actually pald to Chelmsford Dloce5e due to the aforementloned House of
Blshops, decision. The remalnder of the Parish Share allocatlon15 currently held by the Good Steward5 Trust
on our behalf (see note 61. Utlllty tosts rose £6,148 and, whllst the Increase was Partfjal￿ compensated for
by grants totalllng £1,355, thls was nevertheless responslble for the Increase In overall costs, whlch
otherwlse remalned well contalned.
The net result for the year was that Gen•ral expendlture exceeded General Income by £57,334.
Wlth the PCC settlnÉ aslde a further £1,000 as a provlslon forthe cost of future decoratlon of the vlcara8e
and other malntenance not covered by the Dlocese, thls deflclt rose to £58,334, exceedln8 the General
Reserve by E37,272. However, In the knowledge that the churth's Income was set to reduce materlally
ocross the year, bsjt wlshlng to ensure that the level and extent of our rnlnlstry was malntalned, the PCC
declded to allocate £40,000 from the unrestrirt•d Esme McGee fund to support the ¢hurch's artlvltles. Th•
SnJertlon of these funds left a General Reserve of £2,728, a modest but solvent year-end po$Stlon,
Th• balances on the varlous Desl8n4ted and Restrl¢ted Fund5 are retalned for the speclflc purposes outllned
In the Flnanclal Statements.
Looklng FoThMrd
Lookln8 forward, the PCC wlll continue to fund the ongolng m155ion and day-to-day runnlng of the church bv
utlllsln8 further funds held by the PCC on an unrestrlcted ba$ls.
We are truly blessed to have these funds avallable to enable us to pursue blble faithful mi55i0n over the next
couple of years durlng whl¢h tlme our prayerful dellberatlon of our longer term strategic directlon Is
developed.

81shops were likety to afflrm their proposal, the PCC Instruct•d the GST to suspend fvrth*r paym•n15 to the Diocese of
Chelmstord with Immediate off•ct.
The PCC dld, however, condnue io make payments to GST on 4 monthly basls In th• hope th•t the Prayers of Love &
Falth prop0541 would not proceed and paymtnts to the Dlocese rnight be resumed. Thls has proved not to be the case,
with the result that at the year end, GST held a total of £40,719 on our behalf. On the basis th•t the PCC Is unwillin8 for
Ihese moThies to be forwarded to the Diocese of Chelmsford at this time, It Is cuirently considering how these funds
should be handled.

It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under sectlon 145 of the 2011 Act.,
follow the Procedures laid down in the General Directions glven by the Charity Commissioners section 145151
Ibl of the 2011 Act,. and

Basls of Independent Examlnerf5 Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance wlth the General Dlrections 8lven by the Charity Comrnissioner5. An
examinatlon in¢ludes the review of the accountin8 records kept by the ¢harity and a comparlson of the accounts
presented with those records. It also Sncludes consideration tsl any unusual Items or dlsclosures in the accounts, and
seeking explanatSons from the management committee concerning such matter5. The procedures undertaken do not
provlde all the evidence that would be required by a full audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinlon on
the accounts.
Independent Examlnee5 Statement
