CALVARY CHAPEL SOUTHAMPTON Annual Report – Year Ended 31[st] Dec 2023

Objectives and Achievements

Objects of the Charity

The Charity’s Objects (the Objects) are the advancement of Christianity for the benefit of the public in accordance with the following:

a. To worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
b. To build up the Church of Jesus Christ, in particular through the teaching and preaching of the Word of God (The Bible);

c. To proclaim that men and women should repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; As we have opportunity, to do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:10).

Activities of the Charity

The main objective for which the charity is formed can be summarised as this: to bring God glory, and benefit all people, by the advancement of the Christian faith. All of the charity’s activities are intended to work towards this objective.

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidelines on public benefit and continue to review the charity’s activities to ensure that they provide benefit to the public. In shaping and planning our activities the trustees always ensure that the programmes we undertake are in line with our main objective.

The charity rents a building with multiple rooms for its weekly worship services at a local school. These services are for all who will attend, and are open to Christians and nonChristians, regular and non-regular members: there is no barrier to attendance. We are pleased to have attracted the wider community around times of celebration such as Easter, Christmas and baptism services. The teaching from our weekly worship services is also made available online and is accessible freely by the public. A summary of our activities in 2023:

The provision of weekly services on a Sunday morning, to gather together to worship God and build up the church of Jesus Christ through Bible teaching and prayer, including the provision of general pastoral care of all.
Specific pastoral care of families and individuals, as needed and required, by the pastor and wider leadership team, such as: bereavement care, marital & pre-marital counselling, hospital & home visitation.
The provision of children’s care & activities during every weekly service, overseen by a qualified appointed person on a voluntary basis, and supported by a team of volunteers.
Production and distribution of weekly bulletin communication via email, to edify the saints, celebrate growth in groups and individuals, and share acts of loving service, overseen by an appointed member of staff.
The provision of weekly Mid-Week community groups, to edify the church through studying God’s word & provide opportunity to do good to all through acts of loving service and prayer.
The design and production of high-quality materials to facilitate the mid-week groups. The content, production and design expertly supported by volunteers.

God’s word. Expertly organised and delivered by charity staff, with support from additional external speakers.

The provision of leadership, support, opportunity and resources to encourage all other aspects of individual growth in service toward the church through the development of the gifts and talents provided by God.
The provision of benevolence support to individuals and families in need, including financial assistance, advice, spiritual counsel and instruction, to those experiencing unforeseen financial difficulties, with a view to leading them to reach eventual sustained self-sufficiency.
“Missions” grants to individuals or organisations, locally, nationally & globally, only where this would directly meet the objects of the charity through the activity of these individuals or organisations. Specifically to: a linked-church in Kiev, Ukraine, Creationfest UK, specific individuals engaged in missions overseas.

Achievements and Performance, Year Ended 31[st] Dec 2023

The trustees continued to meet regularly, providing strategic, financial and operational governance to support the charity to meet its objectives. This includes meeting to set and approve the charity’s budget, the remuneration of staff, and to maintain ove rsight of all legal responsibilities and duties, including safeguarding.

The charity’s core leadership team, led by the pastor, continued to meet regularly to oversee and facilitate the delivery of the activities of the church. This included reviewing and developing the church’s vision, values & mission, and communicating this with the wider church.

This year, the activities of the church were expertly supported by the appointment of an administrative lead, who’s faithful labour positively impacted the entire organization and all who are served by it. Operationally, this led to evidenced improvements in the charity’s website, communications, minute & record keeping, volunteer onboarding, practical arrangements for weekly services, the planning & delivery of the weekend away, facilities and asset management, and the development of multiple individuals and teams of volunteers across the church. Whilst this appointment was only able to be for 6 months, the positive impact of the work completed continues to be felt many months later.

Volunteers

The activities undertaken by the charity are supported by numerous volunteers. Their passion, expertise, experience and efforts combine to ensure the charity continues to deliver the above activities towards its objective. The gifts, talents and skills which God has given are then nurtured and developed, bringing to fruition many activities and acts of service throughout the life of the church. We are extremely grateful to God for all He has given His church, and share with our volunteers in declaring how God it is to serve one another in love.

Children’s Ministry

Our Children’s ministry has been a particular area of growth this year. Fueled by the efforts of our administrator, we have sought out those God had prepared for the roles of leading and supporting in this ministry. This provision now exists every week, with organised and resourced activities shaped by an agreed curriculum, for the benefit of all children in attendance aged 0 – 11.

Worship Ministry

Back to table of contents

��

CALVARY CHAPEL SOUTHAMPTON Annual Report – Year Ended 31[st] Dec 2023

Sung worship is an essential component of our weekly services and offers every attendee the opportunity to join in corporate worship of God. This year, to allow us to continue to meet this objective, significant investment was required to replace equipment which was over a decade old and no longer fit for purpose. This financial investment is part of a strategy of support put in place to develop this area, alongside the instigation of regular team meetings and training opportunities to support our volunteer team to develop the gifts God has given, for His glory.

Weekend Away

2023 featured our first ever Weekend Away; a 3 day retreat to provide extended space and time for fellowship, study of God’s word, and corporate worship. This retreat was open to all, inviting a small cost which was heavily subsidised, and waved entirely for those unable to afford it. The retreat was held on a hired bespoke campsite in Hampshire. Teaching and worship was led and supported by a guest preacher. Activities were facilitated by staff and run by volunteers. This weekend was a wonderful opportunity to draw close to God and one another, and all in attendance were blessed. This event was a wonderful success and we hope this will become a regular feature in our annual calendar of events.

Financial Review

Financial Position

The charity’s primary source of funds is from free -will offerings, most often from those regularly attending the fellowship for weekly services. As a result, the donations received by the charity may fluctuate, in line with the congregation.

Total income for the year was £31,912, of which £31,130 was from free-will offerings and associated gift aid from the previous period. All donations received within this year were unrestricted. Total expenditure for the year was £41,823, from the £42,034 which had been budgeted for 2023. (Expenditure in the previous year was £28,180).

This significant increase in expenditure over anticipated income was as a result of the charity’s stated plan to reduce reserve levels. This increased expenditure is comprised of the temporary 6 month recruitment of an administrator, the replacement of equipment relating to sung worship, and the provision of an annual weekend away retreat.

The charity continues to exercise biblical stewardship of its finances, aware of the trust assigned to us when congregants choose to support us financially. The charity continues to maintain an annual budget which is a financial representation of the vision of the charity. In addition, all financial management, processes and procedures are held to the highest standards and monitored according to the charity’s financial operating policy.

Enabled by the implementation of an annual budget, and a charity-wide financial operating policy, the trustees are pleased to begin exploring the implementation of delegated budgets to staff & volunteer leaders in the following year (2024), to further facilitate the activities of the charity. We believe that by entrusting faithful servants with specific budgets, we can equip and enable them to lead their area of ministry well, proving more accurate planning for the future and facilitating more immediate responses to needs as they arise.

CALVARY CHAPEL SOUTHAMPTON Annual Report – Year Ended 31[st] Dec 2023

The charity continues to receive sufficient donations to continue its planned activities. In budgeting for the following year, the charity will continue to supplement received donations with reserves until reserves are at the agreed reduced level.

Reserves Policy

Keeping in line with the Charity’s future plans it has a policy to hold sufficient reserves to be able to respond in a timely manner to any opportunity presented that would allow the charity to achieve those plans.

Reserves sufficient to cover up to 6 months of essential expenditure are required to be available as a liquid asset at all times. This figure is regularly reviewed by Trustees and is currently set at £15,000.

Trustees accept that reserves should be minimal for such a purpose. The above figure for necessary reserves is calculated on the basis of core expenditure for essential charity activities, and not solely on the basis of previous expenditure. In setting reserves, the trustees also consider relevant risk factors for the charity, including a reliance on a small number of donors.

Financial Operating Policy

The trustees take seriously their legal responsibility to maintain proper accounting records, provide accurate reporting, safeguard charity assets and take reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud. The trustees are committed to establish and operate a financial framework and financial controls that fulfil these responsibilities and which also; demonstrate a good attitude towards handling money; a solid and reliable system for administering finances; and establish and encourage an environment of accountability for those handling money and for financial matters generally throughout the charity.

The charity’s financial operating policy (FOP) provides guidance to trustees, staff and volunteers on all matters financial. Through its implementation, an environment is cultivated that inspires trust and confidence in the way the charity handles financial matters whilst protecting the reputations of those handling money within the charity, the charity itself; and ultimately of God. The policy provides parameters that allow those handling financial matters in the charity to work freely and openly, and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings arising around financial matters.

Safeguarding Policy

The trustees acknowledge and take seriously their legal and moral safeguarding duty and, with external expert support, have produced and implemented a suitable policy to address this commitment.

This policy is publicly available via our website and outlines our commitment to safeguarding including; working to prevent harm, safer recruitment, safeguarding training and our charity’s code of conduct; procedures for responding to allegations of abuse, raising concerns about a child, raising concerns about an adult; our commitment to continue our work with external experts and local agencies to maintain our own training and ensure practice and policy is regularly reviewed and amended in light of best practice.

��

CALVARY CHAPEL SOUTHAMPTON Annual Report – Year Ended 31[st] Dec 2023

Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates but are unlikely to be material.

Cash at Bank and In Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar amount.

Financial Instruments

The church only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial Instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
