The Church is affiliated to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. As a Church we exist to glorify God by: - Reaching out with the good news of Jesus Christ - Building up one another to live for Jesus Christ - Training one another to serve Jesus Christ - Sending out workers for Jesus Christ. When planning the activities of the Church for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We have continued to seek to freely share the good news of the Christian faith with all people in St. Neots and the surrounding area, with a desire to see people become disciples of Jesus Christ and grow in their faith in him. We are committed to teaching the Bible and prayer and desire to help Christians to grow in their faith and to live lives of love, which seek to do good to all. The Church continued to organise activities during the year in support of its objectives and for the public benefit. The Covid19 pandemic continued to have some impact on our ability to meet physically and run some activities. However, as restrictions were relaxed during the year, a number of ministry areas were able to return to normal. Ministries in support of our objectives included Sunday services for all ages, midweek homegroups, Ladies’ Bible study groups, regular weekly meetings for children and youth, regular meeting for older people, language classes and Bible studies for internationals. We also had a desire to see the Christian faith grow in other areas and countries and to this end we supported Christian work and activities in the UK and abroad through our Mission Partnership Team. ## **Structure, governance and management** The Church is unincorporated and is governed by its constitution. A new Church constitution was adopted on 17th July 2012 and registration with the Charity Commission was confirmed on 14th January 2013. Prior to this the Church had been treated as an excepted charity under legislation at that time due to its affiliation to the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC). The Managing Trustees are responsible for the management of the affairs of the Church and consist of the Elders and Pastor. New Elders are appointed according to the Church’s statement of current practice. Proposals for new Elders are made by the existing Managing Trustees to a business meeting of the Church Members. Two months are Page 4 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 given for the Church to prayerfully consider the proposed individual and to provide feedback. If the Elders then feel that it is right to proceed with the appointment, a formal recommendation will be brought before the Church at the next Church Members’ meeting. Upon appointment, a period of association with the Eldership will take place before the new Elder is formally set apart. Sadly, after a long illness, Caleb Saunderson, one of our Managing Trustees, died in June. We are very thankful for Caleb’s faithful service as an Elder and Trustee of the Church for over 9 years. There were no other changes in the Managing Trustees during the period covered by this report. The Managing Trustees who held office during part or all the period from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022 are set out on page 3. ## **Review of Activities & Achievements** ## **Sunday Services** At the start of the summer term the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated government restrictions continued to have an impact on our Sunday services. A booking system continued to be used for Sunday morning services in the building. Social distancing restrictions meant numbers were limited although part way through the term these were able to be relaxed to allow more people to attend. In July the government lifted restrictions and congregational singing was allowed in the building for the first time in over a year. The early morning communion and evening services continued to be held via Zoom although later in the term we were able to share communion again as part of a monthly morning service. From September the booking system was only required for those who wished to sit socially distanced in the morning service. The numbers increased throughout the term (with up to 130 attending) although this trend was reversed for a while when a new Covid variant emerged just before Christmas. Evening services (with typically 20 – 30 people attending) were able to resume in the building, as were the early morning communion services. Communion was also able to be shared once a month in both morning and evening services. In the spring term the numbers attending continued to increase (typically 170 – 180) with remaining COVID safety measures coming to an end, including the requirement to wear masks or perform lateral flow tests before attending. Throughout the year the morning services continued to be live streamed on You Tube. This allowed those still shielding or hesitant about meeting in person to watch the services from home and also for new people to access them. Recordings of the livestreams were made available on the Church’s YouTube channel providing further opportunity to reach a wider group of people. ## **Youth and Children’s Work** During the year the Church ran a number of activities specifically for children and teenagers. A full-time Youth Worker was employed by the Church to work among young people. **Little Fishes** : Prior to the pandemic this parent and toddler’s group was held on three days a week during term time, with typically 40 children (plus parents/carers) attending each session. During the previous year this was not able to be run due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the summer term one session a week was able to start again and in November this was increased to two. Page 5 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 **Groups for primary school age children:** Explorers (for reception to year 2) and Gap (for school years 3 to 6) groups were able to move from online Zoom meetings to face to face ones in the building from September. These continued to run through the autumn and spring terms. They were attended by children from both Church and non-church families and sought to teach Bible truths in age-appropriate ways and to provide fun activities. **Groups for secondary school ages** : In the summer term the Ten24 groups for school years 7 to 13 were able to be held in the church building on Friday evenings, with those attending divided into socially distanced ‘bubbles’ of no more than 15 young people in order to adhere to Covid 19 guidelines. An Open House group for years 10 and above was also able to be held on Sunday evenings. From September these groups were able to be run without restrictions and later on in the year a single combined Friday evening group for 11- to 18-year-olds was run. These various groups combined opportunities to study the Bible together, to pray, chat and participate in fun activities. **Sunday groups** : In the summer term, children’s groups, providing age-appropriate Bible teaching during the family services, were able to restart. Like the youth activities, socially distanced ‘bubbles’ were used to meet Covid guidelines, with provision for children from pre-school age up to year 6. A youth weekend, for secondary school age young people, was able to be held in October at the Frontier Centre in Northamptonshire. ## **Reaching Out with the Good News of Jesus Christ** The Church continued to seek to share the good news of the Christian message with the people of the town and surrounding area. **Internationals:** from September, weekly conversation classes and Bible studies were held in the church building for international people in the local community. **Good Company Café:** a weekly café style meeting for older people in the community was able to restart in the church building from September. **Soularium:** this visual evangelism tool was able to be used for outreach in the town’s Market Square on a number of occasions in the autumn and spring terms. **Hope Explored Course:** this short 3 session introduction to Christianity was run in late January and early February with a small group of people. **St.Neots Youth Worker:** in a joint venture with Youth for Christ, Open Doors and River Church it was agreed to fund a Christian youth worker focused in particular on unchurched youth in the town. Angela Hoile was appointed to this position and in November a joint commissioning service was held for her in the church building. **Christmas outreach:** Christmas cards with invites to the Carol services were distributed to homes around the church building. Unfortunately, Omicron, a new variant of Covid, emerged in early December significantly reducing physical attendance compared with previous years. However, it was encouraging to have guests and see some interest expressed in the Hope Explored Course. **Real Lives:** At the start of the summer term a series of interviews with three different Church Members were created in which they shared the difference being a Christian made in their lives. These were made available on the Church’s YouTube channel. Page 6 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 Through the involvement of its members the Church also actively supported a number of other Christian based organisations including ACTIOS (Assisting Christian Teaching In Our Schools), Higher Cambs Youth Mission, the local Foodbank, and Good News for Everyone (formerly known as Gideons). ## **Building up One Another to Live for Jesus Christ** Systematic Bible teaching was provided during the main Sunday services, including sermon series in Proverbs, 1 Peter, Amos, Ten Commandments, Mark’s Gospel (at Christmas and Easter time), Jonah, Psalms and the New City Catechism (for All Age Services). Church prayer meetings were held once a month on Sunday evenings, on Tuesday evenings in August and regularly early on Monday mornings via Zoom. Seven Homegroups met regularly (via online platforms in the summer term and later in the year with inperson meetings). They aimed to provide pastoral care, help and spiritual encouragement. In addition to evening Homegroups, weekly daytime Ladies’ Bible study groups, ‘Wednesday Women’ and ‘Thursday Women’ took place through the year. A couple of Ladies’ Drop-In evenings and Men’s Breakfasts were held in the church building and there were also opportunities for informal Church family gatherings, with picnics in the park and a first family lunch for two years. ## **Training One Another to Serve Jesus Christ** Various types of training were provided for Church Members and the Staff team throughout the year: - Mia Baumgartner, our Church Apprentice, attended TEAM 2, a weekly training course organised by the East Anglia Gospel Partnership. - Conferences attended by Staff members included: the FIEC Leaders’ Conference, the FIEC Pastors’ Network Day Conference and FIEC Thrive for Women in Ministry. - A course for people interested in finding out more about church membership, called ‘Membership Matters’ was run a number of times during the year. - A leadership programme was run for the third year with 12 more members of the Church taking part in monthly Biblical leadership sessions, from September onwards. - A training evening run by ‘Faith in Kids’ provided help for parents and grandparents with discipling children and young people. - A training evening for Bible study leaders and another for preachers were held during the year. ## **Sending Out Workers for Jesus Christ** The Church set aside 15% of all donations for the support of missionary work. During the year the Church provided support for missionary work in the UK, France, Moldova, West Africa, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey. The Church was in regular correspondence with the missionaries we support in order to be able to provide suitable help and to pray effectively for them. The Trustees have appointed a Mission Partnership Team, made up of Church Members, to supervise this work and make recommendations to the Elders with regard Page 7 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 to the allocation of financial support. A 5-year plan was created by the team to support existing mission partners but also to enable some funds to be built up to enable support to be given to future mission partners sent out by the Church, as well as for mission related emergency one-off needs. ## **Priorities for the Year** Taking account of the impact of Covid over the previous 12 months, four priorities were set for the year: **Re-engaging with the local community** – reviewing and restarting ministries effected by Covid and investigating new opportunities. **Rebuilding relationships with each other** - reconnecting with one another through informal and formal meetings and serving together. **Reinforcing leadership of the church** – seeking to appoint new Elders (not yet achieved) and considering the appointment of an Assistant Pastor (process ongoing). **Revising our safeguarding policy and practice** – seeking to update and adopt best practice in this important area. ## **Staff Team & Membership** In August Alex Williams completed his second year as a Church Apprentice and was succeeded in this role by Mia Baumgartner. The staff team during the year were: Mike Kendall – Pastor of St. Neots Evangelical Church Richard Carding –Youth & Children’s Worker Catherine Heath – Women’s Worker Jan Sim – Personal Assistant to the Pastor Alex Williams – Church Apprentice Mia Baumgartner – Church Apprentice During the year the Staff team also undertook gospel related roles and speaking engagements outside of the church. These included the Pastor chairing the East Anglian Gospel Partnership steering committee, being Chairman of the FIEC Trust Board and being a Trustee of Cornerstone Care in Confidence. At the beginning of the year there were 134 members of the Church and also 134 members at the end of March 2022. A number of people started attending regularly during the year and 7 new people became members in the year. It was very encouraging to be able to have two baptismal services during the year with three people being baptised. Church Members’ meetings were held via Zoom during the year which continued to enable greater attendance than face-to-face meetings. Due to the large number of Covid cases in the community in early January, the annual Covenant Service was again also held online. Page 8 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 ## **Health & Safety** Richard Vennelle continued in his role as Trustee (Elder) with specific responsibility for the St. Neots Evangelical Church Health and Safety Policy and its implementation. During the summer and autumn of 2021, the system of continual review was maintained and risk assessments relating to the use of the church premises were updated and amended in response to government guidance on the COVID-19 precautions recommended for places of worship and the successive steps on the government’s ‘Roadmap out of Lockdown’. The aim being to provide and maintain an environment in which there was a reduced risk of airborne virus transmission and surface virus transmission. Updated risk assessments continued to be held centrally and the link to these documents was circulated to Church Members who led the various St. Neots Evangelical Church ministries. From April 1st all 2022 statutory measures relating to COVID-19 no longer applied. ## **Annual Safeguarding Report** As a Church family, we recognise that good safeguarding policy and practice is one way we can obey Jesus’ command to love our neighbours properly. In the course of our ministries, St. Neots Evangelical Church undertakes a number of works with vulnerable adults and children. We continue to operate these ministries in line with our Safeguarding Policy and with help and support from Christian Safeguarding Services (CSS), a national safeguarding advisory service. In line with this policy, we continue to check and recheck volunteer leaders both as a church and also with the DBS (where appropriate), securely store documents in line with GDPR and deal appropriately with any safeguarding issues that are raised. Our safeguarding team is currently comprised of Adrienne Dunn and Richard Carding as the Church’s Safeguarding Officers and Alastair Bond as our Lead Recruiter. In the past few months, as planned, we have had our safeguarding processes audited by CSS. This has been a very helpful process in highlighting both areas where we are doing well with safeguarding as a Church family and where we need to make changes to our policy and practice, so that it is in line with all the current legislation and advice. CSS have also been very helpful in giving us guidance as to how we can safeguard not just children and vulnerable adults but the Church family as a whole, as adult safeguarding is something that is gaining prominence in today’s society. In light of this, our Church family has decided to keep safeguarding as one of the priorities for the coming year (2022/23). We plan to do this by: - Growing a culture of safeguarding in the church family - Re-writing our safeguarding policy with the help of CSS - Reviewing and updating our existing policies and practice in light of the CSS feedback - Growing our safeguarding team - Developing policy and procedures that will serve us in the field of adult safeguarding - Implementing an annual safeguarding training programme (including general and group specific training). Rich Carding Youth & Children’s Worker Page 9 of 15 v1.0 Registered Charity No. 1150478 ## **Annual GDPR Report** We are committed to the following from our data protection policy: “An annual report on the level of compliance with or variance from good data protection practices will be produced by the Data Protection Compliance Manager”. 1. Actions taken towards good data protection practices: - Maintained ICO membership by payment of annual fee - Advised on ad hoc data protection and data retention period questions emerging during the life of the Church. 2. Actions proposed for coming year: - Appoint new Data Protection Compliance Manager - Review Legitimate Interest assessments. For inclusion in annual SNEC report "Trustees Annual Report and Financial Statements" 2022. Paul Slater Acting Data Protection Compliance Manager 19 November 2022 ## **Financial Review** The general fund receipts during the year were £249,616 (up 21% on the previous year) with payments totalling £215,318 giving a receipts surplus of £34,298. In addition to the general fund, the Hardship fund, set up in the previous year, continued to be operated in response to anticipated need amongst those connected to the Church. No money was added to this fund during the year, but £5,152 was given to those in need of short-term assistance. The total net receipts surplus for the year was £29,146. The Church’s income was mainly received through regular giving from Members and friends of the Church, of which £ 148,761 (up 8% on previous year) were gift aided donations. £34,535 was received in the year as a tax refund on gift aided donations to the general fund. 69% of general fund expenditure was spent on Staff costs. 15% of the church’s income was set aside for the support of mission work outside of the church, of which £34,563 was used for this purpose in the year. 5% of the Church’s income was set aside for the upkeep of the building in the fabric fund. During the year £12,595 was allocated to the fund and £10,335 was paid out for repairs and renewal of equipment. Based on the 2022/23 budget figures, it is anticipated that the income in 2022/23 is likely to exceed £250,000 and therefore will move to an accruals basis for next year. The Trustees have adopted a policy of maintaining reserves at a minimum level of three months of Staff costs. This policy was achieved throughout the year under review. Mr Mike Kendall (Pastor) was employed by the Church on a full-time basis and is also a Trustee. The remuneration of the Pastor is reviewed by the Elders each year. In accordance with the Church’s constitution, the Pastor does not attend the meetings at which the Staff pay reviews take place. None of the other Trustees of the Church received any remuneration from the Church during the year.
