St. John’s Church is situated on London Road, Carlisle. It is part of the Diocese of Carlisle within the Church of England.
The correspondence address is :- St. John the Evangelist Church, Close Street, Carlisle CA1 2HA. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2006) and a charity registered with the Charity Commission under Charity number 1140781.

Our Vicar and PCC Chairman Rev Steve Donald announced officially in November 2021 his pending retirement on 17[th] April 2022 after 17 years service. His last service in the parish will be 3[rd] April 2022. The process for appointing his successor is currently in progress.
Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC Members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St. John’s the membership of the PCC consists of the Incumbent (Vicar), Churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services/members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to PCC and Deanery Synod.
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 PCC are to be spent. The PCC meet bi-monthly as well as meetings on a specific topic as requested during the year, with an attendance of almost 100% at most meetings.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St. John’s and St. Andrew’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CHURCH, CARLISLE
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2021
When planning our activities for the year, the Incumbent and PCC consider ways to engage all members of the community to live out their faith as part of our community through:
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. Provision of pastoral care for people resident in the parish and church members resident outside. The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Mission Community
As part of the policy of the Diocese of Carlisle whereas all parishes join a Mission Community as part of their ecumenical strategy the Parish of St. John the Evangelist entered into a community with the Parish of St. John the Evangelist, Houghton and St. Peter, Kingmoor. This was commissioned in September 2019 by the Lord Bishop of Carlisle. The Mission Community has no legal basis but the churches work together on Mission and Ministry as arranged and required, maintaining their own separate legal basis.
Missionary and Outreach Work
To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. John the Evangelist and its annex, the Church Centre Complex as well as St. Andrew, Botcherby.
COVID-19 National lockdowns and COVID restrictions followed by a gap between the resignation and appointment of a Safeguarding Officer has meant that St. Andrew, Botcherby and the Church Centre complex have not been in use since March 2020. Services were suspended at St. John the Evangelist from 1[st] January 2021 to 1[st] April 2021 inclusive returning on Good Friday 2[nd] April 2021 following a further national lockdown. A service was held at St. Andrew’s on Christmas Eve 2021.
Aim and Purposes
St. John the Evangelist Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent Revd. Steve Donald in his ministry to 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 Church Complex in Close Street, Carlisle and St. Andrew’s Church, Wood Street, Botcherby, Carlisle.
Parish Boundaries
From 1[st] February 2013 our parish boundary was extended to include the Botcherby area of the city. A pastoral order was drawn up and approved by the Church Commissioners following approval by the Bishop and PCC. A mission church St. Andrew’s also became the responsibility of St. John’s PCC.
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
The PCC are keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling.
ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CHURCH, CARLISLE
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2021
Recent years have been successful in re-ordering the church with substantial changes to the internal layout, the removal of pews and choir stalls. This has opened up many new exciting opportunities to engage with many diverse sections of the community and voice an expression of our faith not previously available to us. New ideas are coming all the time and the PCC maintains a constructive attitude to widening exposure to God’s Word.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. As at May 2021 there were 44 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 29 of which are not resident within the parish.
Occasional services for baptism, marriage and funerals are also provided.
Deanery Synod
Our Vicar sits on the Deanery Synod along with two elected members. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church.
Church Centre Complex
We want our church always to be available to our community. Regular lettings take place.
The Churchwardens maintain a constant watch over the fabric of the buildings and equipment.
As issues arise, they report to PCC. By so doing, routine maintenance can be carried out and, it is hoped, avoid the need for emergency works and the additional expense that would incur.
Pastoral Care
Catering facilities in the Church Centre are monitored to ensure they adhere to a stringent standard of health and safety. This allows us to continue the regular ‘food and fellowship’ social functions. Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Our Vicar has visited all church members who have requested it, to celebrate Holy Communion with them at their homes or in hospital. Lay members of the congregation also visit all who are visit or unable to get out for any reason to keep them in touch with church life. Any visitor representing the church is DBS checked .
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which is sufficient to cover emergency situations which may arise from time to time. The balance of £59,523 held on unrestricted funds at the year-end is sufficient to meet our needs well through 2022.
Mission and Evangelism
Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. The PCC continues in its excellent fund-raising efforts. Total receipts were £73,145 of which £38 was Investment Income and of which £600 were restricted donations. Gift Day yielded £30,040 which was increased by Gift Aid claimed for the continuing work at both churches.
Restricted Donations are shown in the Financial Statements as ‘Haggai’ and ‘St Andrew’s Project Fund’ which are used solely for Building maintenance purposes and the St Andrew’s Project (Phase 2).
ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CHURCH, CARLISLE
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 2021
Donors giving through envelopes and standing orders together with cash collections showed an increase on the previous year - £27,940 this past year against £18,232 in the year to 31-12-2020.
In the absence of a PCC Treasurer, a PCC member who had previously served as Churchwarden and acting Treasurer undertakes certain financial and administrative duties to assist the PCC in their duties.
Hiring receipts amounted to £140 in the year to 31-12-2021 compared to £723 on the previous year.
£77,669 was spent to provide the Christian ministry from St. John’s Church, including the contribution to the Diocesan parish share which was kept as the same amount as the previous year.
The PCC was able to fulfil its payment to the Diocese as offered and pay bills as they arose along with making economies where appropriate despite the Church losing Income due to suspension of services and activities during COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions.
An additional £3,840 was spent on the restoration and refurbishment of St. Andrew’s Church. The premises are to be used as part of the Church’s mission in the Botcherby area of the parish principally as a community cinema as well as further outreach purposes.
The net result for the year was an excess of payments over receipts of £8,364 in total and a surplus of £4,343 with regard to the General Fund. Adding bank and deposit balances brought forward at the beginning of the year, the balance carried forward at 31 December on unrestricted funds totalled £59,523
Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard in the church’s mission in our parish. In particular we want to mention all the members of the PCC for their valuable contribution to our ministry and for keeping the church running with assistance from non PCC members.
The PCC adopted a Protection Policy as laid out by the Diocese. A safeguarding officer ensures that all the legal and appropriate checks are made for those working with children, young people and vulnerable adults. This is reviewed on an annual basis.
The trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report above.

accounting records were not kept in respect of the trust as required by section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the financial statements do not accord with the accounting records
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 financial statements to be reached.
