The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Dukinfield St John

Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

Charity Commission Registration Number: 1134598

2020 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DUKINFIELD ST JOHN

1. Aim and purposes

St John’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend Tim Hayes, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the following buildings:

2. Objectives and Activities

St John’s aims to be

We can confirm that, in pursuing the objectives set out above and detailed in the following sections of this report:

We continue to undertake a range of community ministries, including:

The restrictions necessitated by the Covid pandemic for much of 2020 obviously had a considerable bearing on these ministries. In the case of Foodbank, there was a significant increase in demand for the service because of the increasing economic pressures faced by households and families on low incomes. However, we have had to suspend and/or adapt our other areas of ministry in order to comply with Government regulations and guidance.

3. Achievements and Performance

3.1 Supporting the local church

We have now completed the fourth year of our partnership with St James, Millbrook – the aim of the partnership being to support the ministry there by bringing leadership, ministry and other resources, enabling the church to start growing again. Discussions with the Diocese about the long-term strategy for St James are under way.

3.2 Children, Youth & Families Ministry

Our ministry with children, youth and families (NGAGE and FUSION) continues to work in line with the mission statement of the church and exists to transform lives by bringing our young people into a living and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. As we build into the lives of our youngsters, we long for them to know and experience a real sense of belonging to Christ and to the whole church family. Our ministry has been significantly impacted by COVID-19, and the restrictions this has placed on meeting together in person.

Children & Families

Last year, staff team and members of children, youth & families ministries prayerfully considered where as a ministry God was leading us. We believed that God was calling us to reimagine how we disciple individual families within the wider context of the church. Due to the pandemic what we planned to do has been restricted and limited. However, we believe that the vision that God gave us of a model that sees children surrounded by parents, with extended family and friends and then surrounded and encouraged by a loving, empowering faith community that would help them on a life long journey with God, remains the same but the outworking at this point is different.

Within this context we have worked to establish some of the ideas via a virtual platform. Our main online service on Sundays includes a slot which is accessible specifically for children and families. We have provided weekly activities, related to the adult teaching points, which encourage children to develop their own relationship with God. We have also begun to provide weekly ‘family time’ ideas to develop whole family relationship with God and equip parents to support and disciple their children.

We have been blessed by an increase in parents, grandparents and children who have grown in confidence to engage in making video contributions to our online service including activity demonstrations, prayers, bible readings and comments/pictures of their completed activities. This has helped us to still feel connected as a church family. We have been encouraged by hearing of children and families deepening their connection with God through their shared faith stories and Facebook posts.

This year for the first time we moved our Raising Faith course online. During October and December 11 people attended 6 sessions, some of whom have gone on to engage more in other church related events such as various prayer times, ‘tea & toast’ after church fellowship and sharing posts on the children and family Facebook page. As a result of the Raising Faith sessions, we have established a parents’ WhatsApp group which continues to provide a place where strong relationships are being formed between parents, grandparents and children, faith related questions are asked, testimonies are shared about what God is doing, resources shared and support offered (including prayer and contact between children of similar ages).

Going forward we are now building and establishing a team of leaders and regular volunteers to support the children and families ministry.

Youth Ministry

Fusion Youth Ministry works with young people in Years 7-13 (aged 11-18). COVID-19 has prevented us meeting as normal since March 2020. In line with government announcements in March we moved Fusion online; using the Google Hangouts platform to deliver virtual face-to-face meetings.

From March until July our weekly schedule involved meeting with Year 7s and Year 8s in separate calls on a Monday, Year 9s and 10s on a Tuesday, and Year 11 to 13s on a Wednesday. Our sessions continued to combine a period of socialising with bible study. During this time we studied Job, Ruth and Psalms with the young people.

We also regularly connected with the young people via Instagram during the first lockdown, running a series of quizzes and challenges, and regularly delivered cards and prizes in a COVID-secure manner.

Since the summer we have continued to deliver online Fusion, whilst meeting face-to-face in a COVIDsecure manner, where possible, including Christmas social film nights with each group.

We have continued to be blessed by our team of volunteers, who have supported us to deliver faceto-face and digital sessions with the young people. We are looking forward to the time when we are able to meet again, face-to-face, whilst recognising that the restrictions have also presented us with an opportunity to deepen and develop our relationships with our young people.

3.3 Review by the Incumbent/PCC Chair

I can confidently say that none of us expected a year like 2020, but what might have been a surprise to us was not to the Lord. Facing a shift to online worship and learning to live and grow as a church without physically meeting together has been a challenge to say the least. There have been big implications for us along with every other individual, group, business and aspect of our national life.

Navigating Church life virtually, meeting demands and changing ways of operating for foodbank, financial challenges and the list could go on – the impacts of the pandemic and lockdown are highlighted in various sections of this report.

In all of this I would make three comments:

1. The Lord is calling us to trust his sovereignty.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (ANIV)

This has been a theme which has undergirded a great deal of our worship, teaching and prayer. God is in control and will use everything, even a global pandemic, to grow us and His church. His desire is that, even in the dislocations of this present season, he will work in us and through us both for His glory and our good. This has not been easy. In common with churches all around the world there has been a dual experience of some moving away from Christ yet also some moving into a deeper trust and relationship with the Lord. People are talking about a sifting within the church yet we are encouraged by people moving into a new and growing faith in Christ. As a church, we are looking at how those who have moved away from the Lord might be brought back into a close walk with Him and how those who are experiencing new faith can continue to grow. This will become an even bigger challenge and task as we move into more normal ways of being church.

2. The Lord is calling us to go deeper.

“Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity , not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God…” Hebrews 6:1 (ANIV)

This has been a bigger theme over these past few years but became more urgent in 2020 as we saw that the only way we can truly grow as a church is by growing deeper in Him. In every area of church life where there is a challenge the only way we can go forward is by going deeper. This applies as much to finance as any other area of ministry.

3 . The Lord is calling us to seek His face.

“Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.” 2 Chronicles 20:3 (ESV)

In the face of difficulty and disaster there is no better thing than to seek the Lord’s face. This has again been a major emphasis and has been ably demonstrated in our online prayer gatherings. Whether we have been praying whilst facing specific challenges such as finance and our nation or just the week in week out prayer gatherings, this for me has been the highlight of the year. We have more people engaged in weekly prayer meetings via Zoom than we have ever had before. Zoom is something which actually makes this an easier activity to be involved in. If we come out of this praying more together, that has to be a wonderful thing. I would encourage everyone to be part of that, never has it been so easy to do so.

This year has reminded us that our trust is not in the future but in the one who both holds the future and is Lord of the future. Whatever 2021 holds these three truths will continue to be important to us and any church which wants to grow in maturity and ministry.

4. Worship and Prayer

The total number of parishioners on the electoral roll in 2020 was 190 (187 in 2019). The average weekly attendance prior to lockdown in March was around 140 adults.

4.1 Worship Services

The pandemic had a radical impact on our Sunday services during most of 2020. It was a very steep learning curve to develop the technological and communication skills to get to grips with moving all our services online. There were many teething problems, and still are sometimes, but overall we produced services that supported people, spoke into the demanding situations we were facing, and continued to preach and teach God’s Word in a way we hope helped people to go deeper with God, or discover salvation for the first time.

For all the challenges, there have been many positive outcomes from this. There has been a greater involvement from many members of the congregation in contributing to different parts of the service, a development of different ways of family worship involving children, parents, grandparents and others in a caring role, and an opportunity to learn new songs and broaden our experience of sung worship. Alongside this, of course, there have been negatives. Singing at home on your own in front of a screen is not the same as corporate worship in a building, and fellowship online is no substitute for fellowship in person. Families especially have found the demands of working from home, and schooling from home not being conducive to family worship in front of a screen. The continuation of the restrictions on a timescale none of us ever imagined has meant that, by the end of 2020 there was a general weariness with online worship, as with just about every aspect of life.

2020 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DUKINFIELD ST JOHN

But in these unparalleled circumstances we thank God for the provision of the resources to produce high quality online services that have given people the opportunity to connect with each other, and with God. It hasn’t been perfect, and we have so much to learn about being church, but we have done the best we can to pastor people through this crisis through Worship and Word, and we pray that through the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives, it will be fruitful in 2021.

4.2 Prayer Ministry

Prayer ministry i s normally offered in the Prayer Chapel following the 10.15 am service on Sunday and a member of the prayer ministry team is available at the Thursday Morning Service to pray with anyone if requested to do so. A book is also available for people to request prayer and a telephone prayer link provides prayer support in urgent situations.

The prayer ministry team is happy to arrange Quiet Days or prayer events if requested to do so and they also have a great variety of resources which they can supply to individuals or groups who want to deepen their experience of prayer. In addition, the team provides prayer support to the Stalybridge Street Pastors team.

During the period of lockdown members of the prayer ministry team have been available following the online services on Sunday mornings and at any time during the week to offer telephone prayer support.

A five week prayer course was held in the Church Centre at the beginning of the year and was well attended.

Three twenty four hour prayer events were held during the year, with Zoom prayer meetings as well as services of prayer on YouTube. Resources were also provided to help people to pray in their own homes throughout the twenty four hours.

5. Connect Groups

During the pandemic, ‘connection’ became ever more important as many people were isolated in their homes, or very limited in their contact with other people. Connect groups have continued to provide an opportunity for people to do this on a weekly basis, usually by meeting on Zoom. Although for some people this has not been possible, or in some cases not desirable, for those who have learned the skills, groups have provided the chance to see familiar faces, and hear familiar voices, pray for each other, share with one another and study the Bible together. It has been much more challenging than meeting in homes or the Church centre, and there are so many things we miss about that but, again, the discipline of meeting virtually, has been fruitful for those who committed to it.

The study material has been linked to the teaching on Sunday which has been very helpful in rooting the teaching in everyday life. We looked at prayer (using video based material from Don Carson), studied the life of Daniel, and thought about the ‘God Who Does New Things’ as a way of providing a balanced diet of different parts of the Bible, and learning both doctrine and life.

We are thankful to our Connect group leaders who served in the most trying of circumstances with humility, patience, and a desire to learn and grow themselves, and to share that with their groups. They were, and continue to be, a blessing in regular leaders’ meetings with their encouragements and prayers.

6. Pastoral Care

Pastoral care in bereavement or complex personal situations is carried out in the first instance by the Vicar and Associate Minister, who also provide sustained pastoral support when a high degree of professional long-term care is required. Pastoral care provided by Home Group leaders for the members of their groups is also encouraged and highly valued, as is the spontaneous pastoral care and support which is provided by the Care Home Team, Food Bank Teams, St Albans team and Prayer Ministry.

A group of volunteer pastoral visitors is also available to supplement on request the pastoral care already provided.

7. Mission and Evangelism

In 2020 the PCC allocated just over £16,000 to support the work of:

The retiring collection at the Carol Service was given to Safe Families UK.

Rajan’s Ministry in India, Open Doors and Tearfund all have a member of the congregation responsible for leading prayers for their organisation on Sunday mornings and keeping the church informed about their work. In addition, our St Albans project for the homeless, the work of the Tameside East Foodbank, and our Youth and Care Home ministries are included in the Sunday Morning prayer rota.

8. Financial Review

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £123,327 (£152,853 in 2019). Of this total, £94,920 was unrestricted voluntary donations (£116,420 in 2019), and a further £19,937 was tax recovered under Gift Aid (£20,908 in 2019). Income from the use of the church centre amounted to £2,994 (£11,756 in 2019).

£130,284 was spent from unrestricted funds, compared with £150,500 in 2019. The net result for 2020, after allowing for loan repayments of £5,000, was a General Fund deficit of almost £12,000.

The Covid lockdown has had a significant impact on the finances of many organisations. For St John’s, it has prevented us from hiring out our premises for much of the year – reflected in a considerable reduction in our income from room bookings. It has also meant that people have been unable to give their offering via the plate or via envelope scheme. More importantly, it highlighted the deeper issue that our regular giving was not matching the financial needs of our mission and ministry.

In the summer, PCC members made a commitment to increase their giving by 10% - and challenged the rest of the church to do the same. A number of church members, who would previously have

6

2020 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DUKINFIELD ST JOHN

given by cash or envelope on the offertory plate, found alternative ways to give. We also established a giving page – give.net – as a further option.

In addition, the PCC kept its financial position under constant review and made a number of difficult decisions in order to reduce expenditure, including:

As a result, the General Fund deficit at the end of the year was just under £12,000 – compared with a projection of almost £40,000 in May 2020. This was both an encouragement and an answer to prayer, but was very different to the surplus of £1,000 which the PCC had anticipated when setting the General Fund budget for 2020.

The PCC is conscious that, relative to many churches, we are still in a position of financial blessing - we continue to meet our parish share obligations in full, we are able to afford the services of an Associate Minister (whom we hope to return to full-time employment as soon as possible), and we continue to devote one tenth of our receipts to mission overseas and in this country (based on 10% of previous year receipts).

We have also ended the year with a General Fund reserve of £16,000, though this is considerably less than the target of £35,000 adopted by PCC in its 2020 budget proposals. Financing the church’s basic mission, ministry and maintenance needs will continue to be challenging in 2021.

The total held in Restricted Funds was over £19,000 by the end of 2020. Around 70% of this sum is accounted for by donations to create a position of Children & Families Pastor, following our pledge exercise in the autumn of 2019. We had expected the post to be filled from September 2020 but, once again, the pandemic and lockdown made this impossible.

9. Reserves policy

The PCC has a target figure of £20,000 for its General Fund contingency reserve. The primary purpose of this reserve is to smooth out cash flow fluctuations and to help meet emergencies. In addition, the PCC agreed in 2018 to designate a sum of £5,000 per annum for maintenance of the church centre, to ensure it remains fit for purpose. The PCC’s intention was to designate a similar amount each year to ensure that, when major investment became necessary, it could be accommodated without undue impact on the church’s overall financial position. It had been hoped that, by the end of 2020, this designated reserve would have reached £15,000.

In the event, total unrestricted reserves fell from £28,015 at the start of 2020 to £16,054 by the end of the year, making it necessary for the PCC to un-designate the sum that had been earmarked for the church centre maintenance reserve. At the present time, it seems inevitable that the General Fund will be further depleted during 2021. The church continues to seek God’s vision and provision for St John’s as we seek to place our finances on a more stable footing.

10. Quinquennial Inspection

The latest Quinquennial Inspection of the church building was carried out in June 2019. The resulting report identified a small number of areas requiring immediate attention, costing in the region of £10,000 excluding fees and VAT. The most significant of these was the replacement of structural members to two roof trusses, and minor stabilisation work to the remainder. These works were programmed to be carried out during 2020, but this was not possible as a result of the Covid lockdown and the impact of this upon the church’s financial position. At its November meeting, the PCC made provision for the works to be funded from the 2021 budget. However the budget could only be agreed on a conditional basis in view of the financial challenges faced by the church so, in practice, the PCC will be looking to lever in external funding to meet a proportion of the costs.

In the medium to long term, the most significant item identified in the Quinquennial Inspection was the removal of strap pointing, and repointing of the church building.

11. Structure, governance and management

11.1 Parochial Church Council (PCC)

Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. The PCC consists of the incumbent (PCC Chair); Associate Minister (curate); Associate Minister (licensed lay worker); licensed lay reader (now confirmed each year at the APCM); churchwardens; deanery synod members and twelve elected members.

The Parish Safeguarding Co-ordinator and PCC Secretary were co-opted to the PCC in April 2019 and again in October 2020. All those who seek election to the PCC should also be willing to serve as a member of a PCC Sub-Group.

PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent.

The PCC met six times during 2019, with an average attendance level of 79%. Five of the six meetings were conducted online via Zoom to comply with local Covid regulations.

11.2 Standing Committee

This is the only committee required by statute. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between full Council meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. The Standing Committee did not meet formally during 2020. Nine Standing Committee decisions were made by electronic means and subsequently reported to PCC.

11.3 Other Committees and Working Groups

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DUKINFIELD ST JOHN

NOTES TO THE 2020 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Staff & Trustees

1.1 Key Management Staff

During 2020, the staff team comprised, in addition to the Incumbent (Rev Tim Hayes):

Rev Chris Viney Associate Minister (Curate) Stuart Philips Associate Minister (discipleship, training, home/small group ministry) Pat Bradshaw Lay Reader (leadership development) David Carter Executive Pastor (strategic planning and growth); Treasurer Peter Devlin Churchwarden Elizabeth Broadbent Churchwarden

The team supports the Incumbent in his day-to-day and strategic management of the church.

1.2 Pay & Benefits

The PCC of St Johns Dukinfield is a registered charity, regulated by the Charity Commission - PCC members are therefore also charity trustees. No PCC member receives payment from the church for their work as a charity trustee.

However, a salaried employee of the PCC, Stuart Phillips is also an ex officio PCC member as a result of being a lay worker licensed to the parish. In 2020 salary payments to Stuart, in his capacity as Associate Minister, amounted to £23,517.52. Contributions to his personal pension scheme totalled £2,375.43. He also received payments of £192.81 for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with his duties as Associate Minister.

The Incumbent, Rev Tim Hayes, received £493.72 in expenses payments.

Travel expenses are paid at HMRC Mileage Allowance Payment rates.

Where church members (including trustees) incur expenses on areas of ministry, they are reimbursed from the relevant budget, on production of receipts.

St John’s PCC is not a participating employer in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme.

1.3 Vicarage Costs

As is customary within the Church of England, the Incumbent – Rev Tim Hayes – is provided with accommodation by Chester Diocese. The PCC is responsible for vicarage costs such as Council Tax, water bills and phone/broadband. These costs amounted to £3,948.64 in 2020 – this sum is included in the Clergy & Staffing category of the PCC accounts.

At the start of 2020, the PCC was holding £400.05 in agency funds. During 2020, a total of £3,786 was received and £3,439 was paid out, leaving a balance of £747.05 owed by the PCC. This is shown as a PCC Liability in the accounts.
