Aim and Purpose
The calling of the Methodist Church of Great Britain is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. It does this through worship( increasing awareness of God’s presence and celebrating God’s love), Learning and Caring (enabling people to grow and learn as Christians through mutual support and care), service (being a good neighbour to those in need and challenging injustice) and evangelism (making more followers of Jesus Christ). Penarth Methodist Church makes local the outworking of this calling in Penarth and the surrounding area. Included in this is the upkeep and maintenance of the Trinity buildings on the corner of Stanwell Road and Woodlands Place which are Grade II listed.

Governance
The church is committed to enabling worship and service and to wider pastoral care of those within its membership and beyond in Penarth and the surrounding area. An overview of these activities is undertaken by the Church Council that meets 2/3 times a year and delegates the day to day responsibilities for running the church to its Stewards who are elected annually by the General Church Meeting. The Church Council comprises members of the local church and a rep from the Circuit. All are elected annually by the General Church Meeting, some by virtue of their office others to ensure that the Council is as representative of the congregation as possible. Being a Methodist Church we function under the “Constitution, Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church” revised and published annually by our national governing body the Conference. Throughout the year the guidance on public benefit and the advancement of religion have been observed.
Review of the year .
Appointments Naomi Lewis was appointed by the Vale of Glamorgan Methodist Circuit as Children and Families worker attached to Penarth Methodist Church in November 2021 to assist work there with young families and children. Jayne Kolano was appointed as Church Administrator in September 2021 replacing Sarah Westmore who had resigned the previous summer. Judith Lanning joined the team of Church Stewards during the year
Activities Following the relaxation of mixing rules during the Covid pandemic services of worship were held in person throughout the year while for those who were still isolating or anxious about a return to mixing those services were streamed so that those individuals could join in on-line. Church membership was 142 at 31 Aug 2022 plus many with a more tenuous connection to the church being included on our contact list.
During the year the church continued to operate and grow its own mother and toddler group called Trinity Tots which had started the previous year . Run by church members this group had an average attendance of 30 children accompanied by 27 mothers.
The church continued to operate a community café one morning per week which had started the previous year. Called The Meeting Place and run by a group of 12 volunteers offering refreshments and fellowship both to church members and others in the community it served on average 26 individuals each week.
Junior Church , Boys Brigade and other uniformed organisations continued to operate form within the premises providing support care and activity for children and young people.
Pastoral visitors continued to maintain a valuable link with members and others linked to the church, particularly to those who are unable to worship regularly due to health conditions.
The church continues to provide meeting space for a variety of local community groups through the provision of large and small meeting rooms available for hire .
During the year Safeguarding policy has continued to be implemented, GDPR regulations followed and appropriate Health and Safety observed.
Property Trustees continued to exercise their responsibilities for the proper upkeep of the church as a grade 2 listed building . Regular planned maintenance was carried out and a Quinquennial Inspection of the property was commissioned leading to a plan for further work to be undertaken in succeeding years. Preparatory work was undertaken for the future improvement of the thermal efficiency of the premises and easier access to and within the property for people with mobility difficulties
Finance and Reserves
The reserves policy was reviewed by Trustees to ensure that monies were spent appropriately yet prudently on mission and property maintenance. Falling membership numbers through deaths and pressures on personal finances due to the overall economic situation both impacted negatively on giving resulting in a larger than anticipated financial losses during the year.
Throughout the year staff and the volunteers of the church have given of time energy and money unstintingly.
