Regular morning attendance varies between 70-100, including c25 children; evening attendance is c40, including a handful of children. We welcomed 7 new adult members and said goodbye to 7 members along with 3 other regular attenders. We have continued to welcome a notable number of new regular attenders, including internationals.
B) Wednesday Night Central/Community Groups
Every Wednesday, CCD meets together from 7.30-9pm for fellowship, prayer and study either at Great Northern Road or in homes in smaller groups called ‘Community Groups’. There are four Community Groups consisting of approximately 75% of the congregation.
C) Evangelistic Events
In October 2023, we held a children’s holiday club during the half term along with a special service on the Sunday. In December, we held a morning family carol service and an evening carol service. We have also continued to hold ‘Taster Sundays’ each term.
D) Children’s Work
We have continued to run our teaching and activity groups for primary aged children on Sunday mornings at 10:00am. These groups have also enjoyed a Harvest Sunday, including a trip to deliver a gift to the local foodbank, in October 2023. We have continued to run the ‘Connect’ group for secondary age young people on alternate Friday evenings. October 2023 saw the beginning of ‘Connect Plus’ for secondary age young people on Sunday mornings before the church service.
OTHER NEWS
A) Missionary Support
We continued our partnerships with Trinity College in Myanmar, the Watts family in Madagascar, the Byrne family in north Africa, the Moxon family in Kosovo, and Rob Jones in the USA.
B) Staff & leadership
Joel Kendall has continued to serve as Minister. Peter Leach has continued to serve as Assistant Minister, and was ordained as a Teaching Elder by the IPC presbytery in October 2023. We also ordained John McCartney as a Ruling Elder in June 2024.
C) Church planting
In July 2024, Peter Leach stepped back from his responsibilities in order to concentrate full time on planting Grace Church Coventry. In August he and his family moved to Coventry and Grace Church held its first service on 1[st] September. Christ Church has been involved in supporting Peter and Grace Church financially and practically.
D) Deacons
The deacons have continued to maintain a bank of basic food and personal items for those in immediate need, and developed an ongoing partnership with the local foodbank. They also began a ‘Boxes of Joy’ Christmas initiative in partnership with 2 local schools, gathering and distributing Christmas foodstuffs to local families.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Total receipts of unrestricted funds were £154,448 and no restricted funds were received.
We spent £160,146 on our ministry throughout the year. Therefore, the net result of receipts over expenditure for the year was -£5,698
We aim to keep reserves equivalent to three months’ expenditure for emergencies. This equates to approximately £30,000. At the end of the year our cash in the bank was £87,235
