## **Team Parish of Gainsborough and Morton** 

## **Annual Report for 2024** 

_**Mission Statement:** Seeking to be a faithful, welcoming and caring Christian presence celebrating all that is of good and God in our community._ 

_**Our values:** In all our dealings we seek to be faithful, inclusive, compassionate, nurturing and joyful._ 

**Governance:** The work of the Anglican Church in the parish of Gainsborough and Morton is supervised by the Team Parochial Church Council (PCC) and three individual District Church Councils (DCC), one for each church in the parish – All Saints’ Church, St. George’s Church and St. Paul’s Church in Morton. 

The PCC meets five times each year and reports from all three churches are given at these meetings. Each DCC also meets a minimum of five times a year. 

**Staffing.** In 2024 the Team Parish was served by a Team Rector, plus a Team Vicar. The Parish has a Lay Reader and a Lay Ministry Team. 

**Prayer and Worship.** Quality prayer and worship, which offers up to God and celebrates life here in Gainsborough, is a top priority. 

Following the Covid time, we continue to Zoom out our Sunday Morning Holy Communion Service to any team parishioners who wish to join us, should they be unwell enough to attend. 

**Pastoral Care:** We offer the full range of life event services, plus visits to parishioners for Home Communion and pastoral care. 

**Christian Education and Study:** We encourage regular Bible Study throughout the year, with occasional additional study courses, for example, at Lent and Advent. 

Some of these courses were also offered via Zoom. 

**Community Links:** We continue to work closely with schools and care homes in the parish and with Gainsborough Town Council and West Lindsey District Council. We maintain connections with many smaller voluntary and charitable organisations that, like us, seek to add value and improve the quality of life of people in our area. Our annual Community Carol Service is a highlight and generally involves people for many of these smaller organisations. 

Feeding Gainsborough continue to use All Saints’ (Parish) Church on Saturday mornings to distribute excess food to those in need and to prevent it going to waste as landfill. 



**Buildings:** The three churches are a much loved and valuable community resource and are kept well maintained. The church hall at St. George’s is utilised by all three churches and their members on occasion. 

**Looking to the future:** Rev. Canon Steve continues to encourage close working and support between the three churches, and within the wider town faith groups. 

Signed: 

Date: 30th October 2025
