GOVERNANCE & MAINTENANCE

The activities of the Church are governed by the Parochial Church Council Measures (1956) as amended by the Church Representation Rules.

Christ Church has been serving this parish, in Weston-super-Mare, since 1855 and during that time has made significant contributions; not least the formation of our Voluntary Aided School, Christ Church Primary School and the formation of the town’s largest charity, Weston Hospice Care. Christ Church is an Anglican Church and is staffed by a full time Vicar and Curate, a family Ministries worker, four licensed readers, a musical director and a church administrator.

The legal decision-making body is its Parochial Church Council (PCC), which is advised by a number of sub-committees and especially the two Church Wardens. The week to week management of the church is undertaken by a small team chaired by the Vicar who meet monthly. As a church it seeks to be relevant to those who choose to worship here and also those who live within the defined parish boundary, not forgetting those who are in contact from outside those boundaries.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The membership of the PCC consists of the Vicar, Curate, Church Wardens, Treasurer, PCC Secretary and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our service are encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC.

New trustees are given the Charity Commission booklet for trustees and our Vicar writes them a letter setting out their responsibilities.

The church is responsible for all its financial affairs and conforms to the practice of making a contribution to the Diocese who cover all clergy stipend, pension and housing costs.

The PCC normally meets 6 times a year and there is an Annual Parochial Church Meeting for all those registered on the formal electoral roll of the Church. The PCC is comprised of eleven elected members, four ex-officio members, and three Deanery Synod representatives, making a total of eighteen. PCC Members, who are trustees of the charity are:

Rev T G Webber Mrs J Milsom Rev L Trust Mr A Whitfield Mrs B Hall (Churchwarden) Mr D White (Treasurer) Mrs A Girling (Churchwarden) Mr M Pilgrim Dr J Birkett (Deanery Synod) Mr D Crockett Mr H Taylor (Deanery Synod) Mrs A Langridge Mr C Cole (Deanery Synod) Mr M Rayment Mrs V Fish (Secretary) Mrs S Wilkes Mr R Coates Mrs R Sodzi Mrs H Emery Mrs A Jones Mrs H Thomas Mrs T Jones *until 24 May 2022 from 24 May 2022 Christ Church is entitled to 3 Deanery Synod representatives and 12 elected members but currently only have 11).

The PCC is a registered charity No. 1134074. The full name is The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church, Weston-super-Mare. The working name is Christ Church PCC, Weston-super-Mare.

The church address is 16 Montpelier, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 2RH. The contact address is Mrs Valerie Fish, 25 Addicott Road, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 3PY.

Employees

The Diocese of Bath and Wells is responsible for the stipends of the incumbent and curate, reimbursed by the church’s annual Parish Share contribution. The paid staff include an Administrator (30 hours a week), Cleaners for the Spire Centre (5.5 hours a week), a Musical Director (honorarium) and a Family Ministry Co-ordinator (15 hours a week), all as part of church expenses.

Volunteers

The great majority of the work of the church is performed by our church congregation, who give their time and talents developing the ministries within our church. Volunteers cover every aspect of our church life, including preaching and leading, running groups, cleaning and flowers, maintenance, service preparation, music, catering and administration. With a church membership of 150 - 160, a large proportion is actively engaged in supporting what is happening.

Objectives and Activities

We aim to become a congregation that is “Living God’s Love” . That is love received for ourselves and shown to others in caring, practical ways. But love that is empowered, sustained and directed by God who showed his love for us most of all in the cross of Jesus Christ. . .and that this love of God for us and His world is something that we grow in and are living out our daily lives. We’re not there yet! But this is something we desire to become. We share these aims with our sister church, Emmanuel.

Our principal activities are to provide relevant all age opportunities for weekday and Sunday worship. We seek to make our Sunday worship both warm and welcoming and to grow in deepening worship, genuine prayer and a clear explanation of scripture. This includes age appropriate teaching for our children. The services are available online and together with online daily prayers have a significant number of users. During the week some 9 “Life Groups” meet for bible study and fellowship.

We aim to care for each other and those in our community by pastoral visiting and visiting residential and nursing homes. A monthly community Repair Café also runs.

There are groups for meeting together for children (JAM club, Families Together)and adults (Ladies Together, Craft and Chat and Men’s Walking Group). We are actively involved in our Church school, both through school assemblies and the work of the Governors.

In all these objectives and activities the PCC are aware of their duty to provide services which are of benefit to the general public and have due regard to the Charity Commission guidance.

Achievements in 2022

2022 saw us as a country emerging from the worst of the Covid pandemic and during year the social distancing measures were relaxed and we started to return to normal. However, several ministries that started during Covid have continued since. One of the most significant was the online streamed services for which a team has now been developed.This has a significant uptake every Sunday accessed by a number who cannot otherwise make it to church. Indeed being "in touch with the church" has become easier with Daily Prayers also having a significant daily following. As the services restarted, so a team now lead age-appropriate teaching for our children covering the period between the sermon and the intercessions. There has been an increase in the number of children and families attending and this has been a great encouragement. It has come

as a result of the fruits of the repurposed toddler group on Wednesday "Seedlings" and some great work done by our family ministry coordinator. We have now restarted also ouronce a month prayer services on a Sunday evening which are run by different teams over the year.

It has been a joy to see our curate, Rev’d Larissa Trust, ordained as Priest in Bath Abbey in June. She has supported many areas of our church life. In the church office, Phil Scott has retired and we are very grateful to him for all his work. Emma Bale has now stepped into this role and is doing a great job. One of the activities coordinated by Emma is the weekly "Connected" news sheet. This was devised during the first few weeks of Covid but has been very successful and remains our main method of communication by weekly email or hand delivery. In the autumn we held another "church weekend at home" which was a wonderful time for both our churches together. It was led by Archdeacon Adrian who inspired us to see our Sunday mornings as times of re-energising and preparation for living out our lives as Christians during the week. So far this year we have built on that teaching, using the image of Christians as salt and light from the Sermon on the Mount as our verse for the year. By having members of the congregation sharing something of how they living out their weekday lives as Christians we hope what they say will inspire us all to be living God's love. Other ministries have also restarted after Covid – a successful Alpha course and now our monthly Repair Cafe has also restarted and is attracting a good following being a mix between folk from the community and our congregation.

One area where considerable work has been done is in the grounds of Christ Church – we must pay tribute to Angie Girling and John Hinchliffe in particular for their work. They are 2 amongst many who give up their time to keep the grounds and the fabric of our church in good order. After spending many weeks in lockdown being quite isolated, it is wonderful to see groups such as Ladies Together and the men's walking group start again and share fellowship and support. One highlight in our calendar was the Jubilee celebrations where both churches enjoy the wonderful meal and some great musical entertainment. Over the Covid years Christ Church has faced a number of challenges but as we return to normal we have seen some encouragements in new folk attending and a deepening of our Christian lives.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Church finances came through 2022 in a healthy condition, better than expected. The PCC had agreed a General Fund £8,636 deficit budget for 2022 but the General Fund ended with an unexpected surplus of just over £3,000, largely due to some unexpected grants from the diocese and the CoE.

Across all funds, income was £178,268 and expenditure was £174,821.

The Treasurer, David White, kept the PCC members fully informed during the past year, with copies of actual against budget figures sent out ready for each meeting, where there is opportunity to explain, analyse and discuss. At the beginning of the year the Treasurer and the Vicar drew up a draft budget which was presented to the PCC in January for discussion, amendment and ratification. The minutes of each meeting are posted at the back of church for the congregation to read and the Treasurer is happy to discuss any issues that may arise.

The PCC was able to meet all of its financial commitments in 2022.

There is £22,500 in the heating and lighting fund for future heating replacement at 31 December 2022, included in unrestricted funds.

The 2023 budget has been agreed by the PCC and is a break-even budget which will require an increase in income from church members.

General Fund Summary for 2022

The PCC set a defcitGeneral Fund budget for 2022. The budgeted deficit was £8,636. A deficit budget was set as the PCC couldn’t see a realistic way of cutting costs and it did not feel right to seek to increase income from donations from church members in the cost-of-living crisis so soon after coming out of the covid pandemic. Any deficit would have been taken out of reserves.

Income was budgeted at £148,449. Actual income was £160,674. Details are shown below.

Donatons were broken down as Donatons were broken down as

Reimbursements included an unbudgeted £1834 insurance claim.

Expenditure was budgeted at £156,877. Actual expenditure was £157,667. Details are shown below.

Mission and outreach expenditure was broken down as:

At the end of the year the General Fund recorded a surplus of £3,006 compared with an expected budget deficit of £8,636. We were £11,643 better off than expected.

In Nov / Dec 2022 we received unexpected grants from CoE and B&W of £2750, which pretty much equalled the surplus. These grants were to help with the increased fuel costs.

Energy costs were £731 over budget. Our Gas costs remain fixed at a good price but this fix will end in 2024.

For 2023, the PCC has set a break-even budget which will require an increase in income.

Enclosure 1 to Leddy/IE/ChristChurch Dated 7 March 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S UNQUALIFIED REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CHRIST CHURCH

I report on the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church for the 12 months ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set on pages 1 to 2.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

As trustees of the charity, the members of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical

Parish of Christ Church are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the

PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act

2011 (the Charities Act) and that an IE is needed. The Charity is preparing Receipts and Payments Accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for IE, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the CC. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s unqualified statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below) in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

End of Year Financial Statements and Accounts

Year ending 2022

Notes to accompany the Accounts: End of December 2022

General Fund Summary for 2022

The PCC set a defcitGeneral Fund budget for 2022. The budgeted deficit was £8,636. A deficit budget was set as the PCC couldn’t see a realistic way of cutting costs and it did not feel right to seek to increase income from donations from church members in the cost-of-living crisis so soon after coming out of the covid pandemic. Any deficit would have been taken out of reserves.

Income was budgeted at £148,449. Actual income was £160,674. Details are shown below.

Donatons were broken down as Donatons were broken down as
o Other Donatons £2,863.95
o Online donatons £1,556.98
Church Collectons were broken down as
o Card donatons £1,413.01
o Bankers Orders £95,625.00
o Envelope Giving £10.00
o Plate Cash eligible for Gif Aid £2,667.34
o Plate Other £2,015.00

Reimbursements included an unbudgeted £1834 insurance claim.

Expenditure was budgeted at £156,877. Actual expenditure was £157,667. Details are shown below.

Mission and outreach expenditure was broken down as:

At the end of the year the General Fund recorded a surplus of £3,006 compared with an expected budget deficit of £8,636. We were £11,643 better off than expected.

In Nov / Dec 2022 we received unexpected grants from CoE and B&W of £2750, which pretty much equalled the surplus. These grants were to help with the increased fuel costs.

Energy costs were £731 over budget. Our Gas costs remain fixed at a good price but this fix will end in 2024.

For 2023, the PCC has set a break-even budget which will require an increase in income.

Funds

Other Funds: Designated (D) or Restricted (R)

The Donations were all for FYCM (Families, Youth & Children Ministry) apart from £90 towards the Care Fund.

Restricted Mission Donations were broken down as:

Alpha Course £179
Afghanistan Appeal £1,789
Ukraine Appeal £4,231

The Staff Costs all related to FYCM.

We now have £22,500 in the Designated Heating Fund to pay towards a new heating system at some future point. This could be boosted from the £15,205 held in the Designated Legacy Fund.

The fund that pays our Family Worker is healthy holding £5,767. It pays out £649 a month and has regular income of £635 a month.

The Care Fund made payments totalling £1,250. Its income was £105 donations & Gift Aid and £238 of interest. It currently stands at £10,664; £2,853 in its bank account and £7,812in endowment investments that generate income.

Enclosure 1 to Leddy/IE/ChristChurch Dated 7 March 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S UNQUALIFIED REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CHRIST CHURCH

I report on the accounts of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church for the 12 months ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set on pages 1 to 2.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

As trustees of the charity, the members of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical

Parish of Christ Church are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the

PCC consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act

2011 (the Charities Act) and that an IE is needed. The Charity is preparing Receipts and Payments Accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for IE, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the CC. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s unqualified statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below) in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
