Annual Report year end 310eomber 2025 for St John's PCC PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST JOHN'S, FAREHAM The Parish of St John the Evangelist is situated in Upper St Michaels's Grove, Fareham. It is part of the Diocese of Portsmouth within the Church of England. 5t John's is an evangelical church with a strong focus on sharing the good news about Jesus. Our services and outlook aim to reflect this. We have a range of styles of servi￿$ from more formal ServI￿S to hi8hly interactive services with discussion groups, prayer group5, drama, and art. Our hope is that these services will help us to worshlp God in exciting and C￿atiVe ways, as well as more traditional ways, and explore what it means to be a Christian in today's world. We believe in Jesus, we believe what the Bible says and we believe that God's love Is for everyone who seeks it. Prayer is a ￿ntral part of our church life. As a church, think that everyone is important. We aim to be accessible to all sorts of people and seek to be a community who care for. support, and serve each other. We believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to hear about the Kingdom of God. the good news of Jesus Chrlst. Children are very welcome and we have activities that they can participate in at each service. We are seeking a new children and famllles workertojoin us. Services continue to be led by a combination of lay and ordained, with regular worship team mÈetin8s to plan and review. Worship is supported by a number of gifted and able musicians. Our new strap line 'Loving, Growing, overflowin￿ reflects the vision we feel God is callin8 US to and, along with a new visual colour scheme that has been adopted in our printed handouts and slldes. A re vamped website is underway and should be on line shortly Anna Chaplaincy: Pat Barrett has been accepted a5 an Anna Chaplain- a ministry she feels She has been called to. The Chaplaincy has been rolled out by the Portsmouth DI0￿Se to Visit the elderly and look after them.

There is no cost to St. John's, however, the Chaplaincy is funded through different streams, one being donations from local churches. This will be considered by the Misslons team for next year. Avote to support Pat in her role as an Anna Chaplain was unanimous. Durin8 2025 our curate Lou Collins was priested and Jane Kendal was licenced as a curate.

Review our policy annually. and as part of this, check that our parish safeguarding procedures are up-to4ate and relevant. Flnanclal review The General Fund had a deficlt of £57,961. This is due to the expenditure on building improvements such as stopping water ingress in the rear window, making a safety ramp to the door and replacin8 the church ceiling and lights that need to be recognised in the accounts in the year they incurred in. The hall continued to raise funds through hirlng out space. Income was also ralsed through renting out 7a.

The Circus Charity Fund held for St John's by CPAS was closed and the funds transferred in order to start on the repairs and maintenance required. A new boiler will also be needed in the near future.
