CHRIST CHURCH, DARTFORD

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Introduction

Christ Church is an Anglican (Church of England) church, 116 years of age, situated in West Dartford’s urban community, a community that is characterised by a relatively high degree of owner occupied housing and new housing developments. It is generally well served with schools and there is a sizeable ‘commuter’ population, the train journey to London being just 30-40 minutes. Christ Church may be described as a family church, reflecting the place it has beside a population that in the main are growing families and over the years the church has sought to nurture and cater for them in the services it provides.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is registered with the Charity Commission (1132551), with PCC members taking the role of Trustees.

The PCC of Christ Church has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent (church vicar), in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church centre complex, the church hall and the house at 102 Chastilian Road, Dartford.

PCC membership is made up of the clergy, church wardens, Licenced Lay Minister ( ex officio members ), 12 members, elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, normally in April of each year, in accordance with the Church Representation Rules, who either serve a one, two or three year term of office, and up to 3 elected members of the Dartford Deanery Synod, who serve for a 3 year term.

These members all have voting powers.

Lynne Parkinson (Youth Pastor) was invited to the PCC meetings.

The PCC met 6 times in 2025 to discuss business and approve measures. Discussions and decisions between meetings were managed via email exchanges.

During 2025, the Church employed a full-time Youth Pastor, part-time cleaner for the Church Centre (2 hours per week) and a Parish Administrator (12 hours per week) until April 2025 and from then a Operations Manager for 21 hours per week.

The appropriate Health and Safety statements, policies and risk assessments are all in place.

Membership of the PCC is considered in advance of each APCM, to ensure that appropriate new members of the congregation are encouraged to become involved in the implementation of the strategy and mission of the church, in accordance with the Church Representation Rules and the Charity Governance Code.

Aims and Purposes

The Main purpose of the PCC is to cooperate with the incumbent in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC works to guide the church in seeking to advance the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is reflected in the mission statement set out thus:

Mission Statement

The PCC approved a new mission statement for Christ Church in January 2021 as being

“We are here to be and make followers of Christ,

‘Come follow me’, said Jesus. Mark 1v17”

Church Governance

The governance of Christ Church comprises of the PCC and Leadership team supported by a Buildings Team, Pastoral Team, Communications Team and a Youth and Children’s Team. The Leadership Team meet weekly and have been delegated, by the PCC, the roles and responsibilities of the Standing Committee.

Note: The Standing Committee is the only committee required by Canon (Church of England) Law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC and to also do so between its meetings, subject to any direction given by the PCC.

The Leadership Team comprised of Rev Dr R Mortimer Rev A Coakley-Youngs (until April 2025) Mrs S Jarvis Mr M Smith Ms L Parkinson Mrs G Smith Mrs D Gibson Mrs S Gracey (from April 2025)

The Leadership Team objectives are to support the vicar in leading the church and to develop, in liaison with the PCC, the priorities for the church. The agreed priorities can be summarised as follows:

As a registered charity, under the jurisdiction of the Charity Commission, Christ Church must also fulfil the function of serving the community and demonstrate public value in the activities that it undertakes. The PCC does not, by any means consider the two purposes to be mutually exclusive

3

and indeed has always and continues to maintain a link between the two in determining what activities the church should focus on.

In the next section the detail of the activities seeks to demonstrate that those purposes are addressed and met.

Activities and Achievements .

As mentioned in the previous section the church’s prime focus is concerned with advancing the Christian gospel and much of this work is centred around what happens within the church complex itself and within church life.

Electoral roll

The Electoral Roll is an official list of the church congregation, in that people are required to complete an electoral roll form. The Electoral Roll was fully reviewed during 2025 and it was reported, at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, that the Electoral Roll lists 101church members.

Church Services

Our pattern of worship services during 2025 was as follows

8am Service Patterns

Holy Communion 1[st] , 3[rd] and 5[th] Sundays Morning Prayer 2[nd] and 4[th] Sundays

10am Service Patterns

First Sunday - All Age Worship Second Sunday – Holy Communion Third Sunday – Morning Worship Fourth Sunday – Holy Communion

The 10am Sunday services are recorded and are later uploaded to the Christ Church Dartford YouTube Channel.

A monthly Sunday evening service of informal worship and prayer has continued and is entitled ‘Presence’ as its objective was to come together informally and creatively to be in the presence of Jesus.

The church has continued to be open on a Wednesday afternoon at 2 to 3pm for private prayer along with a new weekly On-Line prayer event every Tuesday morning at 7:30am for church members to pray for God's Kingdom to come at Christ Church and in Dartford. The vision of this time of prayer is to be the fuel for God's spirit to move in His church.

Average attendance of the services in 2025 are as follows:

8am Service – 12 10am Service – 101 Presence Service - 10

In keeping with our focus as a family friendly church, the Sunday morning services attempt to cater for a broad range of people with sung worship, prayers, a varying degree of liturgy and a varying degree of formality/informality depending on the occasion.

Church Activities

In addition to the weekly Sunday services, the church ran a number of regular activities to address the needs of different groups within the congregation and wider Parish community.

4

These included home fellowship and church-based Bible study groups, a weekly community café in the church and a toddler group, which was run as two sessions, because of its popularity. In the winter months we ran a weekly warm space initiative, including dinner for those attending.

Our Youth Pastor has also served at a national level supporting New Wine establish a network of youth workers (Rasing Generations) and in running their annual summer event for 2,000 young people (Luminosity).

The activities of the church are almost entirely enabled by the voluntary contributions, both financial and in gifts of time and talents, of members of the congregation. It would be almost impossible to estimate the number of hours contributed throughout the year.

A number of other groups meet regularly in the Hall, including two Guide companies, two Brownie companies and two Rainbow companies.

The Parish Hall is used as the base for a daily Pre-School group as well as a base for weekly sessions of tutoring of children and youth in full time education, both of which run independently of the church, in accordance with the government’s guidelines.

Church Growth – numerically and spiritually

The church is intentionally looking for growth by sharing the gospel and has committed to the undertaking of an Alpha evening each season throughout 2025 which has brought a significant number of people to faith and commitment as a church member.

The church is purposefully looking to disciple its members in listening to God’s plans for His church and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister within its activities in line with robust teaching programmes.

Church Redevelopment

The ministry of hospitality at Christ Church has been growing over the past few years and hence during 2025 the church has been progressing the redevelopment of both its kitchen and refreshment areas. Plans have been drawn up for the areas to be updated to give compliant handwashing areas, more robust cooking facilities, larger wash up areas and more storage. A grant from the Dartford Borough Council has enabled this project to become a reality and it is hoped that the works will be completed by the summer 2026.

Church Communications

Communications to both our church members and the wider community has been a focal point for the church such that it portrays what it is – a vibrant gathering of people of all ages to worship and glorify God. The church works to a seasonal ‘What’s On Programme’ which is the central document for ensuring our website is kept up to date and to provide input into our regular social media posts. At Christmas a newsletter was produced that was distributed throughout the parish detailing our Christmas services, our regular events and what to look out for in the new year.

Community Activities

During 2025, the church has again been involved in a number of ecumenical activities, including the Dartford Churches Homeless Project and Dartford Food Bank, hosted at the Dartford Methodist Church, Spital Street until June 2025 when it was moved to a redeveloped building and relaunched as the Dartford Larder at Copperfields

Serious Incidents

No serious incidents, as defined by the Charity Commission, occurred during the period of this report.

Safeguarding

The PCC confirms that it complies with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). Where appropriate, staff, leaders and volunteers have a Disclosure and Barring Service check and have also undertaken safeguarding training at the required level.

Treasurers Annual Report

The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the updated guidelines in relation to the Charities Act 2011 and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and SORP 2015. Our expenditure for 2025 came to a total of £188,488 across the general, designated and restricted funds. Of this, £166,385 was from our general fund to provide the Christian ministry of Christ Church. This includes the youth pastor’s salary and our contribution to the Diocesan mission and mission, which goes towards the support of the diocese, clergy stipends, training new clergy and providing housing for the present clergy. From the general funds, we also gave £3,236 to our Mission Partners and other charities at home and abroad, as recommended by the Standing Committee and approved by the PCC.

Our income, across all the funds, was £196,704.

Reserves Policy

The current free reserve for Christ Church is £24,742, which is 4.6% of our 2025 unrestricted expenditure. This is significantly below the 25% of unrestricted expenditure that was the policy established by the PCC. However, this policy was agreed before the PCC set up the St James’s Place Investment. As at 31/12/2025 the capital of this investment was £79,705. Since this capital is easily accessible, the PCC feels that no action is required to address the difference.

Professional Support

The PCC acknowledges the assistance of Ms Melanie Bailey and Ms Heather Huse in the Rochester Diocesan Finance team, with the provision of the book-keeping service and Mr Jack Fryer of Hedley Dunk Chartered Accountants with the Independent Examination of the accounts.
