STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

The PCC aims to meet bi-monthly to discuss matters of Council policy and to consider wider issues concerning the church and its role within society. The Standing Committee, appointed by the PCC after the APCM, usually meets between full PCC meetings to discuss and deal with items relating to the dayto-day running of the parish. The PCC met regularly in January, March, April (immediately after the APCM to elect the Secretary and Treasurer), June, July, September and November and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) was held on Monday 28 April 2025.

The PCC operates through a number of committees, which normally meet between full meetings of the PCC. The Standing Committee is the only committee with the legal power to transact the business of the Council between full PCC meetings. Other committees that met during the year and reported back to the PCC were the Fabric and Buildings committee, the Social and Events group and the Children’s Ministry team. Further reports are normally provided to the PCC from representatives who attend the meetings of Christians Together in Nailsea and District and Deanery Synod.

AIM AND PURPOSE

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the minister in promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, in the ecclesiastic parish.

‘ Our Mission Statement is To know Christ and to make Him known’ .

OBJECTIVES

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of the Christ Church community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship and tries to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.

When planning our activities for the year, the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit is considered and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE

Worship, Prayer and Mission

The PCC are keen to offer a range of services during each week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. We held services at 8.30am and 10.00am each Sunday together with a short service of Morning Prayer on Mondays and Saturdays. A short communion service is also held on alternate Thursdays immediately after the weekly lunches held in the Vestry Hall. Some of our services provide a quiet, intimate and reflective environment for worship whilst at the other end of the spectrum opportunities are provided to engage in more outgoing worship at our ‘first Sunday of the month’ 10.00am services.

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At the end of 2025 there were 108 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll of whom 65 were resident in the parish. The Electoral Roll had a major revision in April 2025. The number of Sunday worshippers is assessed each year and In 2025 it was assessed that our Worshipping Community comprised 98 adults and 5 under 18s. In 2024 the equivalent figures were 100 adults and 6 under 18ss

We enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones through life. We celebrated 2 baptisms, held 10 funerals or memorial services in church and officiated at 5 funerals at local crematoria.

Activities and Teaching

A number of successful events were organised during the year which were locally advertised and open to the public. They raised funds for the day to day running the Church. They included several musical events and concerts and our regular summer fete. These activities were well attended by people who were not members of our congregation.

‘Tots at Christ Church’ met twice a week during term time on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. This is a very popular parent/carer and toddler group. Due to staffing issues, this group will only be held on Thursdays with effect from January 2026. At the other end of the age range a ‘Game On’ event was held fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons where activities are provided for the more elderly parishioners and, where appropriate, their carers. These events are open to all-comers and are managed and staffed by volunteers from the wider church family.

Services were held at Argentum Lodge, a local Care Home, generally on alternative months with members of the church assisting. The services are well attended and enjoyed by the residents. Regular Holy Communion services were also held at Silver Trees Care Home and Bucklands Retirement Apartments.

We continued to open the Vestry Hall on Thursday lunchtimes to provide a free Soup and a Roll lunch for all-comers. This was originally part of a national ‘Come in from the Cold’ initiative and has been continued. As mentioned above, a short service in church was introduced to follow on from the lunch.

A six week Lent Course was held prior to Easter and a Book Club studying selected books from a Christian perspective met throughout the year.

Three bible study groups met during the year.

Further information on the numerous activities and events that are held throughout the year can be found in the annual ‘Christ Church Story’ which is published immediately prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) held in April each year. Copies can be requested from the parish office.

Deanery Synod

Three members of the PCC sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. They provide feedback to the PCC.

Safeguarding

The PCC has complied with its duty to have regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. There have been no serious incidents of the type requiring us to report to the Charity Commission.

The Church Building

The PCC would like the church to be open to our community for private prayer. Unfortunately, because of its town centre location, it is not considered possible to leave the church open at all times. However, the Church is open for private prayer each weekday morning when the adjacent benefice office is open and on Saturday mornings when the Vestry Hall is open to the public for morning refreshments.

Some years ago, the PCC resolved to re-order the Nave of the church to enable more flexible use of the building by church and other groups and organisations. The key element was to remove the remaining fixed pews to provide a more useable, open, interior. Considerable preparatory work by a small working party assisted by our architect took place and has been reported on in previous annual reports. This finally culminated in a faculty for the work being granted by the Diocese in March 2021 which has been subsequently renewed. It has now been decided to implement the scheme in stages due to difficulties with fund raising. The estimated cost of the first stage of the works is in the order of £120,000..

Some minor masonry repairs were undertaken to a loose coping in the vicinity of the Vestry. These repairs were identified in a recent Quinquennial report.

Two wall mounted fan assisted radiators were installed in the Vestry Hall during the year following the granting of a faculty by the Diocese.

Pastoral Care

Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. There is an active Pastoral Care team who work under the guidance of the Rector when in post. The team members visit, phone, listen to and pray with the house bound, the bereaved and anyone of the church family who needs a listening ear. There are also teams of two who take communion to homes after a Communion service held on the morning of the second Wednesday of each month.

Ecumenical Relationships

The church is a member of Christians Together in Nailsea and District (CTIND). This organisation includes the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, Southfield Road Evangelical Church, United Reformed Church, the Roman Catholic Church of St Francis and the Anglican churches of Tickenham, Holy Trinity, Trendlewood, Christ Church and All Saints, Wraxall & Failand. ‘Prayers for Nailsea’ takes place on the first Tuesday of the month at Holy Trinity church.

CTIND undertake a wide range of joint projects, holiday clubs, support for Wellspring a local counselling service and many other activities during the year. All their activities are open to members of the public. The Town Chaplaincy Team, led by Nicki and including members of our congregation and other churches, continued its outreach work in the area.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Introduction and Overview

2025 was another year when our regular expenditure was greater that our regular income. The shortfall was nearly £15,000 which was funded from our slender free financial reserves. The year ended with around £9,000 left in our reserves. This must be viewed against my forecast of a likely deficit of around £14,000 in 2026.

Early in the year a letter was sent to all church members asking them to reconsider their regular giving which resulted in a modest increase in our donor income. During the year we were fortunate in receiving a donation of £850 to purchase a new PC for the office and a new laptop together with an anonymous donation of £2,000 for general purposes. We also received £1,000 from Tots, £600 from Piecemakers, £150 from Mothers Union and £100 from After 8s. Even with all these donations, our income was well short of the need to meet our outgoings.

All our costs are met by personal donations, gift aid rebates, occasional legacies and charitable trading. No financial support is received from the Diocese or any other sources. Joint Benefice costs are shared between Christ Church and Tickenham based on respective church membership.

Our total financial assets at the end of 2026 were £82,477. When restricted and designated funds were taken away from this total, £9,167 remained in the General Fund for general use and represented our free reserves at the end of 2025.

Income

Our overall income in 2025 was £109,301. Regular income from all donors, which is our major source of unrestricted income and includes planned giving, cash collections, regular personal donations and gift aid claimed was £72,317. This was a small increase over 2024 when the equivalent figure was £71,206. The net income from fund raising events was just under £4,000 which was a significant drop from last year when the figure was just over £5,000. The income from hiring the Vestry Hall at £4,049 was slightly lower than in 2024.

Expenditure

Overall total expenditure in 2025 was £125,641. This included our Parish Share for 2025 of £76,829 which was around 70% of our operational outgoings. The Parish Share is money that we pay to the Diocese to fund the employment of clergy across the Diocese. For many years up until 2024 it was calculated using a number of subjective factors but from 2025 onwards the method of calculation was significantly revised and is now more rational and transparent and is referred to below. Running costs of the Church and Vestry Hall were again lower than in 2024 due to the significant reduction in energy costs although this will not be repeated in 2026. Total charitable donations made during the year were £4,777 which represented 6.5% of our donor income which was below our target of !0%. A breakdown of the giving can be found in Note 5 of the accounts on p12.

Looking Forward to 2026

2026 will be a further challenging year for our finances when I forecast that there will be a deficit on our operational income/expenditure of around £15,000. Following the revised method of calculating our Parish Share, we are in the second year of a five year transitional period of adjustment and our 2026 is slightly lower than in 2025 There should be a continued slow reduction over the remaining three years of transition.

On a positive note, we have been notified that notified that the PCC will be receiving a £8,947 legacy from the estate of the late Terry Smith in due course but it is unknown at the moment when this will be received.

The General fund contains a restricted sum of £2,528 which is being carried forward into 2026. This comprises £447 held on behalf of the flower fund, £469 held on behalf of the choir and £1,612 being held on behalf of Tots.

RESERVES

At the September 2020 meeting of the PCC it was resolved that the PCC should have Reserves Policy of trying to maintain a balance of free reserves equivalent to at least three months of unrestricted payments. At the end of 2025 this amounted to about £28,000. Our free reserves at the end of 2024 stood at just over £20,536 which, together with some donations, enabled us to fund our operational deficit in 2025. These donations enabled our free reserves at the end of 2025 to be £9,169 which was still well below our target of £28,000.
