ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Sepilces ThroughoL5t 2023. the service times stayed stable, wth a holy communi¢)n ser￿￿ at 8am and informal semces at 10.30am and 6.30pm. It became clear earty in the year that a second moming service would be needod al some point. It was decided that this change should not occur until 2024 and so was planned for in the second half of 2023. After removing the tsrgeting of the 8vening service towards youth and students at the end of 2022, we hav8 S88n this s8rvice grow with representation from a wde range of age groups each week. However. the evening safWC8 is still favoured by the older youth and studènts within our congregation. In 2023, we saw a great increase in the number of individuals wanting to get baptised, which wa8 a true highlight of the year. Across the year 15 adU￿s, 4 youth, 4 children and 6 infants we baptlsed. In person Sunday service attendance 3000 2500 2000 2022 2023 IIK)O 500 Month Klds 2023 was a fruirful yearforthe Kid8 Minlstry. We had lQds groups for preschoolers and school age children provided all yèar round empowering around 16 volunteers every Sunday in team and discipling an average of 50 to 60 children each week. Our Kids Team grew in commitment wth 59 people signed up to b8 a part of the tearn. We ran our Bright Paty in October half term again with 348 children 8ttendirbg ourjungle themed event. We reprised our Nativity with 35 children taking part lo tell the Christmas story at our Family Carols Service, with 412 people attending the servi￿.

THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF BRIGHTON, ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Youth Yolrth at St Peter's has been so blessed this year. As a team we have gone through a lol of changes, but God has been very kind. We have had an increase on youth attending on Fridays, seeing around 4&55 young people each week. Whilst these numbers have been amaang, il has been the growih in faith and leadership that we have seen in the young people which has been the best thing that has happened this year. We have seen more young people beginning to step up in leading worship on our Friday sessions and also start pr8aching, including preaching al a Sunday servicè. In February, we had 75 young people from across the Family of Church8s attend our annual Youth Weekend Away. This was such an amazing lime of worshipping God and dra¥Mng closer togelheT as a church community. One of the best parts of the weekend away 15 Watching youth from dtfferént churches create new friendship8 With one another. In 2023, we decided lo launch Youth village at Focus, which wgs a carnping area for all tho youth from across the Family of Churches whose parents were not attending. We brought 40 young people, without their parents, under the care of the youth leaders. Being able to create opportunities for the young people lo meet and encounter God for the weekend was such a blessing, One of the boys we brought had never been to a Christian festival or event before, and his family doesn't come to church. We got to watch him spend the weekend worshipping and enlhusiaslically attending Bibla studies. Wh8n asked what his highlight was he said that the worship was incredible and he still has a Focus youth worship playlist that he regularly listens to. There was also an option youth Bible In One Year study each day at Focus. The yOLrth leaders offered to attend if anyone wanted lo go. Each moming we had around 20 young people attend this session to spend more time readir¢g their Bibles and hearing about the word ofGod. To finish the yeaT off we had a leader and one of our own youth run a lemi of Alpha. We had 6 gue51s join for the duration of the course. one of which has re-founded his faith and begun to regularly join on Sundays and attend Youth on Fridays. Studgnts In February, we took 69 students plus team on annual Student Weèkend Away. In June, Hannah Milne succeeded James Bailey and Holly Ro& as Student Pastor. By this time, the academic year had come lo an end. In September, wewelcomed over100 students to our Pub Quyz al the start ofthe new academic year and began meeting for Student Central every other Tuesday night. This is a time to gather for dinner, worship, input, and ministry wth around 70 to 80 students attending each evening. We welcomed guest speakers from across Brighton and the county to input irbto the lives of the students. Students also joined the Discipleship Stream, an opportunity for them to dig deeper into the Bible and develop their faith in a small group, discursive context, wth mernbers of the wider church family involved too. Lunch at the Lukes,, a fortnighlly Sunday lunch at Jodi and Stav8 Luke's hous8, has b88n hugely successful, seeing up to 40 students filling the house for homerycooked lunch and a chance to relax and build community, as well es spend time talking through life with Jodl and Steve.

ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Groups One of the key ways Ihal we aim for people to be fully integrated into the life of St Pelerfs is to join a mid-weèk discipleshiplhome group. As with lasl year, we have had a number of groups who have slopped meeting for a variety of reasons (including more groups starting al the Family of Churches plants and people mowng to join those churches). Howevar, those groups that are still meeting a￿ firing on all cylinders wlh people often remarking Ihal they feel loved and cared fDrf', and'pastored and kn¢)wn" by their Group leaders. The content for Groups continues lo be provided by Dar¢ and Kate Millesl with de&p4ives into the scriptures for that week's sennon passage, providing opporturtilies for people to grow in their biblical literacy, forge deewr friondships with others as w811 as spurring one another one in our Corporate disupleship jDumey. Lal&r in 2023. we also introducod the Disciplèship Stream- a venture whlch we hoped would bring together existing home groups, students and those who cannot access a home group for whatever reason. The first term had 4 of our existing groups take part and also led lo th& creation of two new groups. OUT hope going forward is that Dlscipleship Stream will be a Gioups 'incubaloV- allowing us to replicate new groklps and Set Ihern up lo thrivè for the long haul. Worshlp 2023 has bean a year of growth and new beginnlngs for the worship and production team al St Peterfs.

A warm, free café space for l¢)ddlers an babies to be noisy and for parents tg relax and connect in community in the church building as well as hopefully being a gateway into Alpha. Wa ran the play café every Thursday during term tim8 and raised up a growng team of leaders, many of which weren't serving elsewhere, Community engagement was between 110-180 visitors every Thursday, the vast majority of which do not engage with Sl Pelerfs al any other point. Safeguardlng Al Sl Petefs we use a safeguarding database, Myconcern. All safeguarding concerns are recorded and stored on this datsbase, so il is easily accessible for staff and volunteers to record incidents. It Is provin9 very helpful in re¢￿dIng and managing cases.

Envlronment & Su$tsinablllty Since achieving our Bronze Eco Church award in 2022, a scheme to help churches réduce their carbon footprint and care for God's creatlon. we have set our sights on achieving the Silv8r award. We worked on this across 2023 and although we haven't managed to fully reach the award yet. we have made strides to do so. The land and creation care portion of the award has seen parucular gains with the introduction of the beehive on the roof, helping to pollinal8 the flowers in the local area. Additionally, we ran several gardening groups on Saturday momings to plant flowers and plants around the church. Since 2021, the church has bgen IrackSng ils carbon foolprinl as a way to highlight areas that need impromng and ways to reduce our emissions. Natural gas, used for our heating sysl8m, is our primary source of emissions, wth 66% of ourtolal emissions coming from this source. In 2023, we managed to secure a great reduction in emissions, partially due to replacing two circulation pumps and partially due to better management of the heating system in general.

ST PETER PCC MEMBERS ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 staff 2023 saw signfficant changes in regard to our staff for which we went through a large restructuring and reorganisalion. During the first half ol thè year a number of staff were unfortunately made redundant. In total, approximately 16 8tsff erther finished their contract or were made redundant. There was a myriad of reasons for this, though largely due lo available finances and the level of suslainability of being able to continue at that levèl of operation. Our HR consultant Naomi Cane from Spe¢lrum HR was engaged throughout the process and we owe much gratitude to her for her advice and consultation.
