**Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit; Report to the Charity Commissioners for the year ended 31st August 2022** ## **Governance** The Winchester Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit is part of the British Methodist Church. An Act of Parliament constitutes the Methodist Church. Its principal governing documents are the Deed of Union 1932 and the Methodist Church Act 1976. These together with other relevant governing documents can be found in The Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church. The Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes delegate responsibility to the Circuit Meeting for the effective deployment of the resources of ministry, which include people, property and finance as they relate to the Methodist Churches in the Circuit. ## **Trustee selection methods** All members of the Circuit meeting are trustees of Winchester Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit. The membership of the Circuit Meeting is prescribed in the Standing Orders of the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church. Under the Standing Orders the following are ex officio members of the Circuit Meeting: 1. The Superintendent Minister, all Ministers, Deacons, probationers and persons authorized to serve the Church as Ministers or Deacons appointed to the Circuit 2. Circuit Stewards, appointed annually by the Circuit Meeting. ## Standing Orders also prescribe that: 1. Where individuals have particular areas of expertise, for example property or finance matters, they may be appointed to the Circuit Meeting by the Circuit Meeting. 2. The Secretary of the Local Preachers and Worship leaders Meeting is a member of the Circuit Meeting. The Local Preachers and Worship leaders Meeting appoints them to their office. 3. Representatives from each local church, which should include the Senior Church Steward and the Church Treasurer, are members of the Circuit Meeting. Currently each local church is permitted additional members of the Circuit Meeting, based on the membership of each church. The Annual General Church Meeting of the local church appoints Church Stewards. The Church Council of the local church appoints Church Treasurers. Other representatives are elected from the membership of each churches respective Church Council 4. The Circuit Meeting can also choose to include other people to ensure all areas of the life of the Circuit are adequately represented. A range of guidance for trustees, including "The Role of a Trustee in The Methodist Church", is produced by the Methodist Connexional office and is available on the Methodist Church website. ## **Structure and decision-making** The Circuit Ministers work as a team sharing responsibilities across the Circuit except that each presbyter has pastoral charge for one or more churches. The Circuit Leadership Team takes day-to-day management decisions. The Circuit Meeting is the principle decision-making body responsible for the affairs of the Circuit and the development of circuit policy. It also acts as the focal point of the working fellowship of the churches in the Circuit, overseeing their pastoral, training and evangelistic work. It meets four times a year. The Circuit stewards are responsible, with the Superintendent, the Presbyters, and Probationers appointed to the Circuit, for the spiritual and material well-being of the Circuit, and for upholding and acting upon the decisions of the Circuit Meeting. ~ the Circuit Stewards are responsible for bringing to the invitation committee and/or the Circuit Meeting as appropriate, proposals for invitations to ministers to serve or for presbyters to continue serving in the Circuit, and for conveying such invitations to the presbyters concerned. In the case of initial invitations the circuit stewards are responsible for conducting, on behalf of the Circuit, negotiations with ministers initiated by the District Chair. **Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit; Report to the Charity Commissioners for the year ended 31st August 2022** ## **Circuit Leadership Team** The Circuit Leadership Team comprises the Superintendent Minister, all other ministers appointed to the Circuit, the Circuit Stewards, the Secretary of the Circuit meeting and the Circuit Treasurer. It meets between Circuit Meetings to: - ~ discuss the life and work of the Circuit - ~ formulate recommendations for the Circuit Meeting - ~ carry out work on behalf of the Circuit meeting, where appropriate. ## **Circuit Relationships** Winchester Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit is part of the wider Methodist Connexion and is ultimately accountable to the Methodist Conference. The Methodist Conference stations every Presbyter. For mutual encouragement and help local Methodist churches are grouped together into Circuits, and the Circuits are then grouped into Districts. Winchester Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit is part of the Southampton District. The registered charity number of the Southampton District is 1134386. ## **Local Preachers and Worship Leaders Meeting.** This meeting consists of Presbyters, Student Ministers, Local Preachers and Worship leaders, who are members of local churches in the Circuit. They meet at least once a quarter to: ~ worship together and share fellowship ~ consider the state of the work of God in the Circuit and in particular issues of policy affecting the circuit plan of preaching appointments and circuit policy relating to worship - ~ hold local preacher's accountable for their ministry ~ initiate and oversee a programme of continuing development ~ consider the suitability of and oversee the training of those who wish to become local preachers, and recommend people to the Circuit Meeting for appointment as local preachers ~ Consider the suitability of and training reports about those who wish to become worship leaders and advise the Church Council accordingly. Through their representatives they send a report to the Circuit Meeting. ## **Purposes** As part of the wider Methodist Connexion Winchester Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit share the purposes of the Methodist Church, set out in the Methodist Church Act 1976.They are and have been since the date of union the advancement of: 1. the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and the discipline of the Methodist Church 2. any charitable purposes for the time being of any Connexional, district, circuit, local or other organisation of the Methodist Church 3. any charitable purpose for the time being of any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church 4. any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church. The nature and purposes of Methodist Circuits are prescribed in the Standing Orders of the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church as follows: ~ The Circuit is the primary unit in which local churches express and experience their interconnexion in the Body of Christ, for purposes of mission, mutual encouragement and help ~ Presbyters, deacons and student ministers are stationed in the Circuit, and local preachers are trained, and admitted and exercise their calling ~ The Circuit is responsible for the effective deployment of the resources of ministry, which include people, property and finance, as they relate to the Methodist churches in the Circuit, to churches of other denominations and to participation in the life of the communities served by the Circuit, including local school and colleges, and in ecumenical work in the area including, where appropriate, the support of ecumenical Housing Associations **Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit; Report to the Charity Commissioners for the year ended 31st August 2022** ~ As the Circuit is a member of the Methodist Missionary Society, it also promotes understanding of and support for the work of the Society to the end that every member may share actively in world mission. ## **Our Vision and Mission** **The Circuit Vision** is to enable us all to worship God and, in the power of the Holy Spirit, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. ## **MISSION STATEMENT OF THE WINCHESTER, EASTLEIGH & ROMSEY CIRCUIT** - We will share fellowship and resources across the circuit. - We will develop a sense of belonging so that we can build each other up. - We will encourage churches to experience a wide range of worship and preaching styles. - • We will explore, develop and unlock opportunities for mission in each church so that the Good News of Jesus Christ can be proclaimed. ## **Religious Activities** **Acts of worship and pastoral care.** The Circuit produces a quarterly preaching plan to ensure regular acts of worship take place at each of the Methodist churches under its remit. These are open to all people, without charge. The Ministers have pastoral care for these churches. Two lay Pastoral Visitors assist the minister at Chandlers Ford Methodist church & a further lay Pastoral Visitor assists the minister who has pastoral responsibility for Romsey and other churches in and around the edge of the New Forest by visiting the elderly, housebound, people in hospital etc. In 2021/22 this staff team was extended by the appointment of three Lay Pastors, who serve the churches at Cadnam, Landlord (and former members of Canada Common and Wellow) and Alresford. **Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.** The Ministers offer baptisms, weddings and funerals at each of the local Methodist churches in the Circuit. These services are available at the discretion of the Minister. . ## **Work with Children, Youth, and Families in the local Community** By funding a lay worker to focus on working with young people in the local Community the Circuit supports the work done in the local churches to ~ create and strengthen relationships and help people along their life's journey ~ ensure people feel welcome and get a positive experience of Church life ~ encourage people to start and continue a journey into faith. ## **The year 2021/22** The Circuit strategy of introducing a new role of “Lay Pastor” was given a boost during the year as the three roles designated were all filled and the Circuit welcomed Peter Castle (Wellow, Canada Common and Landford); Susan Parsons (Cadnam) both at the start of the year (September 2021) and then Jon Hughes (Alresford) joined the Circuit staff from the beginning of April 2022. In Ministerial news, we were pleased to match with the Rev Peter Rayson, who will join the Circuit as Superintendent Minister serving at Wesley Weeke, Kings Somborne and Alresford churches from 1[st] September 2022. In addition, towards the end of the year, in July, we were delighted to learn that Rev Kate Cambridge would be stationed in the Circuit with effect from 01/09/2022 as she extended her hours to meet the ongoing needs of the Circuit. The Circuit Strategy was reviewed regularly throughout the year and in addition a specific strategy for Children’s work to under pin the work of the Circuit Youth worker was agreed in June 2022. ## **Winchester, Eastleigh & Romsey Methodist Circuit; Report to the Charity Commissioners for the year ended 31st August 2022** Sadly during the year there were some churches who needed to change how they would be designated or meet. The Kings Somborne congregation through their Church Council sought to merge with the congregation at Wesley Weeke and that was agreed at the March 2022 Circuit Meeting. They would continue to worship in Kings Somborne and the ongoing use of the building would support the Messy Church in the village. The Wellow congregation also voted to stop using the building and would explore options at being a class of the Romsey church and use community buildings in the village. Finally, sadly Canada Common church voted to cease to meet and held their final service at the end of May 2022. The church building is blest with a graveyard and as such the Circuit will explore options to use the building in a different way. The Circuit continues to drive a strong Eco agenda and all churches in the Circuit were challenged to hold a “Climate Sunday” during the year, which many did and this brought changes to thinking in churches as to how to conduct themselves. Members of the congregations were also prompted to think about how they could make changes in their lives to meet the climate emergency. Property challenges remain high on our agenda, and it was with sorrow that we accepted the resignation of Stephanie Roux as our Property Steward. She was thanked for the time and hard work she had given the Circuit. On the back of this, a decision was taken to look at outsourcing the majority of the work to one of the professional firms accredited by the Methodist Connexion and a subgroup of Circuit Stewards was set up to progress this. They would also support churches and ministers with property issues as required. Finally at the end of then year we said fond farewells to Rev Sue Keegan von Allmen, Rev Bob Kitching and Rev Howard Mellor as they relinquished their ministerial roles within the Circuit. We are grateful to all three for the faithful way they have carried out their roles and responsibilities.
