**Trustees’ Annual Report for the period September 2023 – August 2024** 

Objectives and Activities: 

Hinde Street Methodist Church is a city centre church based in the heart of Marylebone, London, which seeks to be welcoming and hospitable to everyone. We have an open ethos and a tradition of questioning debate, primarily, although not exclusively, from a liberal perspective. We are a diverse and multi-racial community. 

The age profile is distinctive with a small number of children and young people of school age but with a larger than average group of young adults. The remainder of the congregation are over the age of 40 and there is a large group of retirees. A considerable number of our members are professionals with a range of intellectual and academic backgrounds. They offer a wide range of gifts and skills to the community through service in different areas. At the same time, we are an inclusive church which welcomes people regardless of ability, gender, sexual orientation or age, and seeks to create a warm, caring and nurturing community for all. In April 2015 the Church Council voted to sign up for the ‘Inclusive Church’ movement, and we continue to work towards inclusivity in all that we do, particularly with regards to the LGBT+ community. We have recently approved a motion to allow the church to conduct same-sex marriages after the national Methodist Church Conference gave churches this option. Members of the church attended the Pride March in June 2024. 

Our ministers include Revs Peter Cornick and James Cruddas (a workplace minister in the civil service) and Deacon Ruth Yorke who started work here in September 2023. 

The church has three Sunday services, each with its own distinct congregation, with limited cross-over between them. 

- The 9.30am service (formerly at 10am) is short and uses an adapted version of the 1936 Methodist Communion Service. Attendance is between 6 and 10 and this service happens twice a month. 

- The 11am service is every week and is consciously traditional Methodist worship. A high value is placed on preaching, hymn-singing, liturgy (the Methodist Worship Book is used frequently but not exclusively), and communion is held twice a month. The congregation is also open to less traditional music and innovative liturgical ideas. Average attendance varies between 30 and 60 adults, and a small Junior Church sometimes meets at the same time. The Church has a strong musical tradition and there is an organist who plays weekly. There is also an occasional choir of members of the congregation on special occasions like Holy Week and Easter. The church possesses a fine organ and a Steinway grand piano. Since Covid, the 11am service has also operated online, and continues to offer ‘hybrid worship’ in church and on Zoom. 

- The 6.30pm service, which is twice a month, has an attendance of around 10 people, and often takes a more creative, interactive and meditative approach. It alternates between being in church and on Zoom (hybrid), and on Zoom only. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church has long-established and well-run classes (small groups of members and non-members), following the Wesleyan tradition, which meet regularly. We have 6 classes, with four classes meeting monthly, one weekly and one (the class for young adults) meeting occasionally. 

Alongside these, there are the following activities: 



- A weekly lunchtime meditation group supervised by the deacon and led by members of the church. It is open to members of the church, anonymous groups, local residents and workers. Attendance is on average between 5 and 10. 

- Social activities including a day trip to Greenwich. 

- Regular church lunches and an annual family picnic. 

- Weekly open drop-in sessions in the main church hall on Wednesdays from 4-7pm and Thursdays from 3-6pm, which offer food and support to approximately 30-50 people who are experiencing homelessness, or who are vulnerably housed within our neighbourhood. 

The church committees, many of which are chaired by lay members of the church, oversee the various activities including property and financial issues. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church has two established residential communities living in flats adjacent to the main church building; one has five members, and one has six members of young adults. These communities share a Christian ethos and make a commitment to contribute to the life of the church and circuit – including volunteering in our social projects, and an agreed amount of time covering reception duties when our caretaker is on leave. 

The premises (church, church hall and adjacent rooms) are used by various groups during the week. 

- There are almost 35 ’12 step’ groups – self-help groups for people with addiction issues who have used these premises for many years. Up to 100 people per day use the premises in this way. 

Hinde Street Methodist Church is committed to offering a sense of belonging to young people studying, living and working in London. Until March 2023 the church had a Community Worker whose work concentrated on helping 18-30 year olds become part of the church family by offering them pastoral care, open spaces for asking questions about faith and creative forms of worship. The young adults continue to meet regularly for friendship and exploring issues of faith. 

We have a covenant with St Marylebone Parish Church. Three times a year we organise a pulpit swap, including during the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity, and on Aldersgate Sunday. 

Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## Achievements and Performance: 

Our growth plan which was created in 2021 had several arms to deal with the dwindling funds and membership, which were significantly exacerbated by the pandemic and the resulting loss of any income from lettings in the building. The church was given a grant by the London Methodist District, some of which it has spent on an online rebrand and a refreshing of the website to capture online traffic. We have a Digital and Communications Officer to capitalise on our online presence, including Zoom services. 

The church has recovered some income from lettings and many groups have returned. However, the church still faces economic challenges. We are planning to create a new website called Hinde Street Venues with the aim of increasing our income from lettings considerably. 

The church has remained faithful in its fellowship and welcome to new members, and has offered pastoral support through our class (small group) network and keeping in touch with more vulnerable members of the congregation.
