-
the Cambourne Methodist Church in the Circuit of Cambridge, District of East Anglia,
-
the Cambourne United Reformed Church in the Eastern Synod.
Administratively and legally, Cambourne Church receives support and oversight from Cambridgeshire Ecumenical Council as its Sponsoring Body and is accountable to the Partner churches/denominations through its Sponsoring Body. The Sponsoring Body appoints the Minister and indicates the membership and terms of reference of a Local Advisory Group.
Cambourne Church Council consists of 2 legal bodies, the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and the Ecumenical Church Council (ECC). The method of appointment for Parochial and Ecumenical Church Council (PCC & ECC) members is set out in the Church Representation Rules and Cambourne Church’s Governing Documents that were adopted in 2011. The ECC consists of the Minister(s), Church Warden(s) and 8 church members. In addition, the PCC also includes the lay deanery synod representative (Anglican Rep). Members serve for a period of 1 to 3 years. Elections are held annually at the Annual General Meeting.
The Church Council meets monthly and Church Meetings take place three times a year. Church Council members are the charity trustees, responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the church including deciding on how funds are to be spent.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Cambourne Church is committed to being a Christian community which is open, prayerful and loving which serves Cambourne with the good news of the gospel and where disciples of Jesus Christ are made. In this commitment, we feel upheld and led by the Spirit of God who is present in all our activities, and to whom we seek to be attentive.
All are welcome at church services and activities. Membership of Cambourne Church is limited to those who have been baptised into the faith. Membership involves a mutual commitment between members and church leadership and a sharing in the life of the church. (See the membership leaflet for further detail.)
It has been the objective of the Church Council to facilitate all those involved with Cambourne Church to live out our six core GOSPEL values, deepening faith and encouraging wider community engagement:

REPORT OF ACTIVITY FOR 2021
Throughout 2021 we have been operating under varying limitations as a result of the continuing pandemic. The long winter of limitations brought about by COVID and the associated restrictions – at times mandatory and at times discretionary – is beginning to show signs of a thaw. Many church activities have resumed, albeit often in modified ways.
Staffing: We have still not managed to fill the children’s and youth work positions, but a recruitment process continues into 2022 and we are grateful to the URC for agreeing to part-fund these posts for at least three years through a grant. Our two church administrators and our cleaner remain in post, and we are grateful for their hard work. Our team has been augmented by having James Shelton, an ordinand from Ridley Hall, attached to the church for 2020-22.
Sunday Services: The year began with our main Sunday services being online, first on YouTube and from Easter on Zoom. It ended with us gathering in the church building for services which included singing, children’s work and youth work, and which were livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube for those who did not gather in person. However, masks and social distancing were still the order of the day. We did host an open air Remembrance service with local uniformed organisations this year, and a number of Christmas services – another sign of the return to normality.
Children: In the autumn Young Church for primary school aged children resumed on Sunday mornings, meeting in the annexe. From November 2020 on termtime
Wednesdays children met online over Zoom, but in the summer of 2021 began meeting in person outside, and in the autumn rebranded as Explore Together and met for teaching, games, craft and food with parents also in attendance. A Wednesday morning baby and toddler group also started in the summer, attracting a number of families from outwith the church fellowship.
Youth: Young people did not gather in great numbers online, so when we were able to start regular Sunday evening gatherings outside or in the annexe this helped. In the autumn Xtreme started again on Sunday mornings meeting in Cambourne Soul. Late in the year monthly Sunday evening socials were also re-established, and a Friday afternoon well-being café run in partnership with Romsey Mill and Cambourne Youth Partnership was being planned for the new year. We should here note that we have greatly benefitted from a Youth for Christ gap year student being on placement with WCCYM and based in our church since September, namely Miriam Haslauer from Austria.
P A G E 8
Continuing activities: 19 the coffee-house reopened its doors in the summer, reducing its hours and its menu while a volunteer base was re-established. 3Cs started meeting again in the annexe, as did the Parish Nursing health and well-being group. Homegroups continued to engage with one another, albeit regular meetings have not been well established among them all. New ways are being found to connect with one another.
New ventures: There have also been new ventures. A number of church members took part in an online Difference course, looking at conflict from a Christian perspective. In the summer we held a flower festival to coincide with the Cambourne Open Gardens event, which proved a great success. In September we started Open House twice a month on Thursday mornings – a drop-in to promote well-being in our community, which emerged from the Kingdom priorities identified by council in late 2020. We are grateful for the involvement of workers from South Cambs District Council and Monkfield Medical Practice bringing their professional expertise. Also prompted by the identified Kingdom priorities, we have ensured that church staff and a number of volunteers have undertaken training in Mental Health First Aid.
21st Birthday: We celebrated our twenty-first birthday as a church in October with a special service, including a recorded talk by Revd Dr Carrie Pemberton-Ford, followed by our first fellowship meal together for a long time. Over that weekend there was also an exhibition, put together by David Wadsworth in the annexe, telling the story of our church.
The Vine Inter-Church Primary School: We have maintained close links with the church school, providing a number of foundation governors and conducting school worship on a weekly basis, albeit through video recordings.
Mission and Giving: We have been able to continue to give to Uzimatele and Goma in 2021: core giving of £1500 each plus a summer appeal which led to an extra sum of £821 being sent to each. In addition, we have given to WCCYM with whom we continue to partner closely, and are engaged with Compassion, especially in sponsoring our church link child, Thomas.
A big thank you to everyone who has been involved in making these things happen.
“To the only wise God be glory for ever through Jesus Christ! Amen.” (Romans 16 v.27)

SAFEGUARDING
Cambourne Church continues to be committed to protecting the safety and well-being of children, young people and adults at risk of harm who are connected with Cambourne Church in any way.
Alison Butler the safeguarding co-ordinator for Cambourne Church attends the Ely Diocese Safeguarding Training and Network Session which was held only in March this year. This session provided safeguarding co-ordinators a chance to get together to discuss any issues they have had. Learn from each other and receive any updates to the safeguarding training, policies and procedures.
Alison Butler is the Safeguarding Officer for Cambourne Church and processes all of the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) forms as part of her role. This is a criminal record check that all employed personnel and volunteers have to undertake to work with our children and young people. Alison worked closely with both our children’s and young person’s leaders to them leaving their roles to take up further employment. This was to ensure everyone receives the required training in safeguarding. This year has been a very different year with the pandemic and not being able to meet with people on a face to face basis, but we have continued to ensure both staff and volunteers are kept up to date with both their disclosure and barring checks and safeguarding training.
Alison is an inspector who works for Care Quality Commission and brings a wealth of safeguarding experience to the role.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and if you need any advice please speak to Alison Butler.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Introduction
2021 was the second year impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic, with a third national lockdown introduced on 6th January 2021 but by the end of 2021 Cambourne Church was back to running most of our usual services and activites.
The January lockdown (which ran through to March 2021) meant we couldn’t meet for Sunday services or hire out our Church building to community groups. We did therefore lose income over these first three months of the year.
We were fortunate however to receive government support in the form of a £2,668 local authority grant and also from payments received through the Job retention scheme, to help meet the employment costs of the Church Cleaner, who was on flexible furlough leave during the lockdown period.
After the lockdown was lifted, several of our regular church hirers returned in April 2021 and by the end of the year virtually all our regular hirers had returned with some additonal bookings too.
Whilst our income was impacted during the lockdown period, our reported expenditure last year was significantly lower than planned, due to vacant staff posts. Unfortunately two rounds of advertising did not produce successful candidates for the roles of Church Youth Worker and Children & Families Worker, which remained unfilled all year. The Church Caretaker role was also vacant for the whole of 2021.
The reduced spending on staffing led to the overall increase in our funds of £19,061.
This is the second year we have reported an increase to our funds (driven predominantly by the reduced staff costs).
We therefore begin 2022 with substantial financial reserves and Church Council has decided that it is now the right time to repay the building loan to the Baptist Association. We also plan investment on the church building, to upgrade the doors and locks.
2022 will be the last of the three years we receive financial support (£15,000) from our sponsoring churches to help meet the cost of our Minister. Whilst we do have the reassurance of high cash reserves to draw on, there is more work to be done before we become selfsufficent as a church and able to contribute back to our supporting denominations.
P A G E 1 1
Financial Overview 2021
The Finances of Cambourne Church are made up of 4 Funds.
These are:
General Fund £139,460 19 Coffee House £7,333 Pete Mear Grant Fund £6,158 Chapel Fund £2,000
Total £154,951
The General Fund balance is reported net of the £50,000 loan from the Eastern Baptist Association, that is as a long-term liability on our balance sheet. The church received the loan of £50,000 towards the build costs of the Church Centre. To date no repayment has been made on this loan.
Cambourne Church reported an increase in funds of £19,061 during the year as follows:
General Fund + £19,514
Designated Funds
19 Coffee House - £453
This was the net reported expenditure by the Coffee House for the period it was open from April to December 2021. There were “start-up costs” incurred to re-stock when first opening after 12 months lockdown and a replacement tablet was purchased (used to take cashless payments).
Pete Mear Grant Fund No receipts/payments in year
This fund was created when a legacy gift was received in 2019 from Pete Mear’s estate of £6,358. The Pete Mear Grant fund was launched early in 2020 to support young people seeking to develop their skills in worship ministry. Grants of up to £200 (per application) are available for individuals.
Restricted Fund
Church Chapel No receipts/payments in year This fund was created in 2019 when a £2,000 donation was made towards the provision of a chapel at Cambourne Church. There are no immediate plans to begin fund raising for a chapel and this gift has been placed in a restricted fund.
P A G E 1 2
Overall Position for 2021
Our total reported receipts for 2021 was £123,232 and total reported payments was £104,171 giving the reported increase in funds of £19,061 identified above.
Reserves Policy
Church Council has agreed a policy to maintain a minimum level of £50,000 in reserves.
This level of reserves will be reviewed annually against the requirement to maintain sufficient cash balances to meet a minimum of 6 months staff employment costs.
Staffing
During the year the Church employed 2 Church Administrators and a Church Cleaner none of whom earned £10,000 or more.
The Minister received a salary in excess of £10,000.
The reported staffing costs include employer national insurance and pension contributions where applicable.
Staff members were reimbursed for travel and subsistence costs as reported under staffing expenses in these accounts.
There were no disclosable transactions in respect of Church Council members, persons closely connected with them or other related parties.
Further Notes to the accounts.
These accounts will be examined by an independent examiner (Mr Zubair Ahmed) and the signed examiner’s report will be included with the statement of accounts submitted to the Charity Commission.
There are no further notes to be considered.

MINISTER'S AFTERWORD
2021 has come to an end; 2022 lies before us.
There is much to be encouraged about in this report. God is still active among us. We are seeing new ground being ploughed and planted for the sake of the Kingdom. And yet I can relate to the old-timers in the days of Ezra and of Haggai who witnessed the rebuilding of the temple after a period of exile, and who wept that it was less magnificent than the temple they knew from their youth. (See Ezra 3 v.10-13 and Haggai 2 v.1-9.)
Church attendance and church engagement are not at the level we knew before the pandemic hit. Cambourne Church is not alone in this. The Evangelical Alliance conducted research nationally in the autumn indicating that both attendance and volunteering have dropped significantly from pre-pandemic levels.
Yet there are wonderful gospel opportunities ahead of us. West Cambourne is being built. People have moved into the flats in Upland Place. There are thousands of neighbours in need of good news. Let us not lose heart or shrink back. What is being rebuilt and re-established among us may not look the same as what went before. It may not even look as impressive, but God is with us, and may the future glory be greater than anything we have yet known.
“So don't sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!”
(Hebrews 12 v.12-13, The Message )
Bill Miller
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this report and to the life of our church in 2021. May the glory go to God.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
Amen.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Cambourne Church is committed to being a Christian community which is open, prayerful and loving which serves Cambourne with the good news of the gospel and where disciples of Jesus Christ are made. In this commitment, we feel upheld and led by the Spirit of God who is present in all our activities, and to whom we seek to be attentive.
All are welcome at church services and activities. Membership of Cambourne Church is limited to those who have been baptised into the faith. Membership involves a mutual commitment between members and church leadership and a sharing in the life of the church. (See the membership leaflet for further detail.)
It has been the objective of the Church Council to facilitate all those involved with Cambourne Church to live out our six core GOSPEL values, deepening faith and encouraging wider community engagement:

REPORT OF ACTIVITY FOR 2021
Throughout 2021 we have been operating under varying limitations as a result of the continuing pandemic. The long winter of limitations brought about by COVID and the associated restrictions – at times mandatory and at times discretionary – is beginning to show signs of a thaw. Many church activities have resumed, albeit often in modified ways.
Staffing: We have still not managed to fill the children’s and youth work positions, but a recruitment process continues into 2022 and we are grateful to the URC for agreeing to part-fund these posts for at least three years through a grant. Our two church administrators and our cleaner remain in post, and we are grateful for their hard work. Our team has been augmented by having James Shelton, an ordinand from Ridley Hall, attached to the church for 2020-22.
Sunday Services: The year began with our main Sunday services being online, first on YouTube and from Easter on Zoom. It ended with us gathering in the church building for services which included singing, children’s work and youth work, and which were livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube for those who did not gather in person. However, masks and social distancing were still the order of the day. We did host an open air Remembrance service with local uniformed organisations this year, and a number of Christmas services – another sign of the return to normality.
Children: In the autumn Young Church for primary school aged children resumed on Sunday mornings, meeting in the annexe. From November 2020 on termtime
Wednesdays children met online over Zoom, but in the summer of 2021 began meeting in person outside, and in the autumn rebranded as Explore Together and met for teaching, games, craft and food with parents also in attendance. A Wednesday morning baby and toddler group also started in the summer, attracting a number of families from outwith the church fellowship.
Youth: Young people did not gather in great numbers online, so when we were able to start regular Sunday evening gatherings outside or in the annexe this helped. In the autumn Xtreme started again on Sunday mornings meeting in Cambourne Soul. Late in the year monthly Sunday evening socials were also re-established, and a Friday afternoon well-being café run in partnership with Romsey Mill and Cambourne Youth Partnership was being planned for the new year. We should here note that we have greatly benefitted from a Youth for Christ gap year student being on placement with WCCYM and based in our church since September, namely Miriam Haslauer from Austria.
P A G E 8
Continuing activities: 19 the coffee-house reopened its doors in the summer, reducing its hours and its menu while a volunteer base was re-established. 3Cs started meeting again in the annexe, as did the Parish Nursing health and well-being group. Homegroups continued to engage with one another, albeit regular meetings have not been well established among them all. New ways are being found to connect with one another.
New ventures: There have also been new ventures. A number of church members took part in an online Difference course, looking at conflict from a Christian perspective. In the summer we held a flower festival to coincide with the Cambourne Open Gardens event, which proved a great success. In September we started Open House twice a month on Thursday mornings – a drop-in to promote well-being in our community, which emerged from the Kingdom priorities identified by council in late 2020. We are grateful for the involvement of workers from South Cambs District Council and Monkfield Medical Practice bringing their professional expertise. Also prompted by the identified Kingdom priorities, we have ensured that church staff and a number of volunteers have undertaken training in Mental Health First Aid.
21st Birthday: We celebrated our twenty-first birthday as a church in October with a special service, including a recorded talk by Revd Dr Carrie Pemberton-Ford, followed by our first fellowship meal together for a long time. Over that weekend there was also an exhibition, put together by David Wadsworth in the annexe, telling the story of our church.
The Vine Inter-Church Primary School: We have maintained close links with the church school, providing a number of foundation governors and conducting school worship on a weekly basis, albeit through video recordings.
Mission and Giving: We have been able to continue to give to Uzimatele and Goma in 2021: core giving of £1500 each plus a summer appeal which led to an extra sum of £821 being sent to each. In addition, we have given to WCCYM with whom we continue to partner closely, and are engaged with Compassion, especially in sponsoring our church link child, Thomas.
A big thank you to everyone who has been involved in making these things happen.
“To the only wise God be glory for ever through Jesus Christ! Amen.” (Romans 16 v.27)

SAFEGUARDING
Cambourne Church continues to be committed to protecting the safety and well-being of children, young people and adults at risk of harm who are connected with Cambourne Church in any way.
Alison Butler the safeguarding co-ordinator for Cambourne Church attends the Ely Diocese Safeguarding Training and Network Session which was held only in March this year. This session provided safeguarding co-ordinators a chance to get together to discuss any issues they have had. Learn from each other and receive any updates to the safeguarding training, policies and procedures.
Alison Butler is the Safeguarding Officer for Cambourne Church and processes all of the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) forms as part of her role. This is a criminal record check that all employed personnel and volunteers have to undertake to work with our children and young people. Alison worked closely with both our children’s and young person’s leaders to them leaving their roles to take up further employment. This was to ensure everyone receives the required training in safeguarding. This year has been a very different year with the pandemic and not being able to meet with people on a face to face basis, but we have continued to ensure both staff and volunteers are kept up to date with both their disclosure and barring checks and safeguarding training.
Alison is an inspector who works for Care Quality Commission and brings a wealth of safeguarding experience to the role.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and if you need any advice please speak to Alison Butler.

FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Introduction
2021 was the second year impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic, with a third national lockdown introduced on 6th January 2021 but by the end of 2021 Cambourne Church was back to running most of our usual services and activites.
The January lockdown (which ran through to March 2021) meant we couldn’t meet for Sunday services or hire out our Church building to community groups. We did therefore lose income over these first three months of the year.
We were fortunate however to receive government support in the form of a £2,668 local authority grant and also from payments received through the Job retention scheme, to help meet the employment costs of the Church Cleaner, who was on flexible furlough leave during the lockdown period.
After the lockdown was lifted, several of our regular church hirers returned in April 2021 and by the end of the year virtually all our regular hirers had returned with some additonal bookings too.
Whilst our income was impacted during the lockdown period, our reported expenditure last year was significantly lower than planned, due to vacant staff posts. Unfortunately two rounds of advertising did not produce successful candidates for the roles of Church Youth Worker and Children & Families Worker, which remained unfilled all year. The Church Caretaker role was also vacant for the whole of 2021.
The reduced spending on staffing led to the overall increase in our funds of £19,061.
This is the second year we have reported an increase to our funds (driven predominantly by the reduced staff costs).
We therefore begin 2022 with substantial financial reserves and Church Council has decided that it is now the right time to repay the building loan to the Baptist Association. We also plan investment on the church building, to upgrade the doors and locks.
2022 will be the last of the three years we receive financial support (£15,000) from our sponsoring churches to help meet the cost of our Minister. Whilst we do have the reassurance of high cash reserves to draw on, there is more work to be done before we become selfsufficent as a church and able to contribute back to our supporting denominations.
P A G E 1 1
Financial Overview 2021
The Finances of Cambourne Church are made up of 4 Funds.
These are:
General Fund £139,460 19 Coffee House £7,333 Pete Mear Grant Fund £6,158 Chapel Fund £2,000
Total £154,951
The General Fund balance is reported net of the £50,000 loan from the Eastern Baptist Association, that is as a long-term liability on our balance sheet. The church received the loan of £50,000 towards the build costs of the Church Centre. To date no repayment has been made on this loan.
Cambourne Church reported an increase in funds of £19,061 during the year as follows:
General Fund + £19,514
Designated Funds
19 Coffee House - £453
This was the net reported expenditure by the Coffee House for the period it was open from April to December 2021. There were “start-up costs” incurred to re-stock when first opening after 12 months lockdown and a replacement tablet was purchased (used to take cashless payments).
Pete Mear Grant Fund No receipts/payments in year
This fund was created when a legacy gift was received in 2019 from Pete Mear’s estate of £6,358. The Pete Mear Grant fund was launched early in 2020 to support young people seeking to develop their skills in worship ministry. Grants of up to £200 (per application) are available for individuals.
Restricted Fund
Church Chapel No receipts/payments in year This fund was created in 2019 when a £2,000 donation was made towards the provision of a chapel at Cambourne Church. There are no immediate plans to begin fund raising for a chapel and this gift has been placed in a restricted fund.
P A G E 1 2
Overall Position for 2021
Our total reported receipts for 2021 was £123,232 and total reported payments was £104,171 giving the reported increase in funds of £19,061 identified above.
Reserves Policy
Church Council has agreed a policy to maintain a minimum level of £50,000 in reserves.
This level of reserves will be reviewed annually against the requirement to maintain sufficient cash balances to meet a minimum of 6 months staff employment costs.
Staffing
During the year the Church employed 2 Church Administrators and a Church Cleaner none of whom earned £10,000 or more.
The Minister received a salary in excess of £10,000.
The reported staffing costs include employer national insurance and pension contributions where applicable.
Staff members were reimbursed for travel and subsistence costs as reported under staffing expenses in these accounts.
There were no disclosable transactions in respect of Church Council members, persons closely connected with them or other related parties.
Further Notes to the accounts.
These accounts will be examined by an independent examiner (Mr Zubair Ahmed) and the signed examiner’s report will be included with the statement of accounts submitted to the Charity Commission.
There are no further notes to be considered.

MINISTER'S AFTERWORD
2021 has come to an end; 2022 lies before us.
There is much to be encouraged about in this report. God is still active among us. We are seeing new ground being ploughed and planted for the sake of the Kingdom. And yet I can relate to the old-timers in the days of Ezra and of Haggai who witnessed the rebuilding of the temple after a period of exile, and who wept that it was less magnificent than the temple they knew from their youth. (See Ezra 3 v.10-13 and Haggai 2 v.1-9.)
Church attendance and church engagement are not at the level we knew before the pandemic hit. Cambourne Church is not alone in this. The Evangelical Alliance conducted research nationally in the autumn indicating that both attendance and volunteering have dropped significantly from pre-pandemic levels.
Yet there are wonderful gospel opportunities ahead of us. West Cambourne is being built. People have moved into the flats in Upland Place. There are thousands of neighbours in need of good news. Let us not lose heart or shrink back. What is being rebuilt and re-established among us may not look the same as what went before. It may not even look as impressive, but God is with us, and may the future glory be greater than anything we have yet known.
“So don't sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!”
(Hebrews 12 v.12-13, The Message )
Bill Miller
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this report and to the life of our church in 2021. May the glory go to God.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
Amen.
