**Spa View Community Church 30 September 2021**
## **STATEMENT OF BELIEFS**
We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments excluding the Apocrypha) is the inspired Word of God, the infallible and all sufficient rule for faith and practice. We believe in the unity of the one true and living God who is eternal, self-existent ‘I am’ who has revealed Himself as one being in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Virgin Conception, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphant Ascension and Abiding Intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ and His promise to return as the blessed hope set before all believers.
We believe in the fall of man who was created pure and upright but fell by voluntary transgression.
We believe in salvation through faith in the person of Jesus Christ. This experience, being an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is known as new birth and his promised return as the blessed hope set before all believers.
We believe that water baptism (usually by immersion) is enjoined upon all who have really repented and have truly believed with all their hearts in Christ as Saviour and Lord, and that breaking of bread and drinking of wine in remembrance of Christ is enjoined upon all believers until the Lord returns.
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit evidence by the continuing demonstration of the gifts of the Spirit indicated in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God as evidenced by an increasing demonstration of the fruit of the Spirit spoken of in Galatians 5:22-23.
We believe that deliverance from sickness by Divine Healing is provided for in the Atonement.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, to everlasting conscious bliss for all who truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, but everlasting conscious punishment for all whose names are not written in the Book of Life.
We believe in the Gift Ministries which Christ has given to His Church according to Ephesians 4:10- 13 for the purpose of establishing and maturing individual congregations of God’s people, and their responsibility for appointing an initial eldership.
We believe in the function of eldership in plurality in the local congregations with the specific responsibilities of guarding and ruling the local flock subject to the fulfilment of the scriptural qualifications and qualities as established in the Bible.

**Spa View Community Church Trustees Annual Report**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The objectives of the Church as set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association are to advance the Christian faith and to engage in such charitable objectives that the trustees see fit, within the framework of the Christian faith.
In the opinion of the trustees the objectives and activities of the church are compliant with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and guidance published by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES**
The church is primarily funded by the gifts and offerings of its members.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The trustees will keep a reserve fund in the deposit bank account sufficient to pay known liabilities due within one month plus a sum equivalent to approximately one month’s regular expenditure. This fund should only be used in cases of unusual need, to be authorised by trustees. The aim would be to replace these reserves within a period decided by trustees. In the exceptional cases where reserves fall below this level trustees will be notified and appropriate action taken.
## **RISK ASSESSMENT**
The major risk to the church is that its income falls to the extent that payroll liabilities and running costs of the premises could not be met. The trustees regularly review financial information at trustee meetings to ensure that income levels are sufficient to avoid such a situation and to take action promptly in the event that there are any indications of an impending downturn in income.
## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES IN THE YEAR AND TO DATE (INCLUDING FUTURE PLANS)**
## **Introduction**
The financial year Oct 2020 – Sept 2021 was challenging as the global Covid-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on the life and operation of the church. It disrupted our weekly congregational gatherings as well as our children’s, youth and social action activities, but throughout, we continued to adhere to the government health and safety guidelines in order to keep people safe.
Despite the limitations and uncertainties brought on by the pandemic, we managed to maintain a strong faith community. We have at times had to revert to virtual online services and small groups meeting over the internet but then as restrictions eased, we began once again to meet in person through use of a booking in system which restricted the numbers in the building. Social media proved to be an asset for keeping in touch with each other. Throughout the year, we continued to help individuals and families in the community through the development of the food bank which we know has helped many needy people and continues to do so. Whilst we have still not been able to go into schools or the local care home, we have maintained out strong connections and things are now beginning to slowly open to us again.
There have been some staffing changes as detailed below and the staff team, which meets weekly, has grown in its relationships and developed a strong team dynamic and a shared vision. Our financial position remains stable, and we continue to invest in both capital projects on the building but also development of the ministry into the community.
We are grateful to God and a whole team of volunteers who faithfully and sacrificially give of their time and resources to make what we do possible. Our mission is that we are;
‘A family on a journey, to know God and to make Him known’
3
Every year is an adventure and a blessing as we see people grow in faith and helped in their day to day lives. There are many challenges, but we believe we go into the next financial year from a place of strength with a shared purpose.
## **Staffing**
Chris Jeavons continues to lead the church and team as Senior Pastor, working alongside the staff team and the other Company Directors/Pastoral Oversight Team.
Sally Watters, continues to do excellent work in her role as our church administrator and has now settled into her additional role as a company member.
Aaron Oliviera resigned from the position of p/t Youth and Community Worker (0.8wte) in December 2020. The post was then split into 2 posts and appointed to as follows:
Jamie Holt was appointed into the post of p/t Youth Worker (0.4wte) in January 2021.
Amy Hitchmough was appointed into the post of p/t Family and Community Worker (0.4wte) in February 2021.
These are both people who came to faith through our youth work and so know the church and the community. They have both settled into their roles very quickly and are a real asset to the staff team. Our hope is to be able to increase their hours in the future.
Roger Perriss continues to faithfully serve as Company Secretary/Member and since the end of the financial year, Chris Watson, Buildings and Health & Safety Lead has also been appointed as a Company Member.
The directors meet monthly to discuss all aspects of the church business and ministry and the directors meet quarterly with the company members to primarily discuss all matters related to the administration of the church.
## **Finance and Administration**
Steve Rogerson continues to act as the Director responsible for finances and Sally Watters, as church administrator, continues to provide monthly financial updates to the directors to help inform all decisions related to capital and revenue spends. The recent addition of Chris Watson as a Company Member means we can now be more structured in relation to forward planning of capital expenditure on the building and grounds.
We continue to use and develop the information held in the Churchsuite software to which we subscribe, and this is helping with the communication and management of bookings for events, distribution of information, updating of church members details, rotas and attendance. It is a work in progress and is now being managed by the Senior Pastor, church administrator and the media team.
The church has several policies, and their review dates and version control are monitored via the Directors & Members meetings. During the year three new documents have been created to assist with the operation of the church.
- Lone Worker Policy
- Maternity Policy
- Staff Induction Checklist
The staff induction checklist has been used effectively with the two new staff appointments and the Lone Worker Policy has been put in place to ensure the safety of staff working alone in the building or when distributing food parcels for the food bank and it has had significant input from the staff team.
## **Media and On-line Presence**
The church continues to live stream services via YouTube and hold small group and team meetings by Zoom to carry out its weekly activities in the midst of the ongoing Covid pandemic. This will continue, even though we have now resumed meeting in the building for most activities. The church has made significant financial investment in this element of our work to maintain an online presence and to be able to reach those who are isolating, unable to attend due to other commitments, or who feel too vulnerable to attend. This has continued to be very positive for people’s mental health during the pandemic. The church has invested in a new, purpose-built media and PA desk and now has a team of around 7 volunteers to run the sound, visuals and life streaming. It is hoped that in 2021-22 this team can be expanded and it is the intention for further training to be provided for existing and new members.
A key area for development in the coming year is the website which requires a totally new design with a mechanism to keep it up to date. Churchsuite will continue to be developed for church communications and rotas alongside Facebook and Whatsapp.

## **Health and Safety**
We are grateful to Chris Watson, for taking up the role of Health and Safety Lead in September 2020 and now that he has been made a Company Member, it is much easier to keep the Directors up to date on all H&S matters and to jointly plan and coordinate a response to any issues which need to be addressed.
Work within year which is specifically health and safety related includes:
- Ongoing Covid-19 management to ensure compliance with government guidelines.
- Annual PAT testing of equipment
- Installation of external lighting to building exits
- Replacement of the manse garage roof and specialist removal of some low-grade asbestos.
- Clearance of storage areas to reduce number of flammable items.
- H&S training for new members of staff.
## **Building and Grounds Work**
The church maintains an action log of all work which is required, and this is prioritised to inform each year’s work plan and hence the capital investment required.
Work within year includes:
- Completion of the youth meeting room.
- Repair of leak in main church roof
- Replacement of garage roof, soffits, and facias – removal of asbestos
- Exterior lighting for fire exits
- Replacement of tiles on church manse roof.
- Purchase and installation of storage shed.
The priorities for 2021-22 will include:
- Repair to leaking flat corridor roof.
- Repair and restoration of stained glass window
- Commencement of a systematic replacement of internal doors with fire doors.
- Lowering and thinning of perimeter hedges
- Cleaning and repair of gutters
- Removal of fencing from front of manse and fencing off of manse grounds from church grounds
## **Use of Building by Outside Agencies**
The following organisations continue to hire the church building:
**Slimming World** – weekly hire on Mondays.
**Chairobics** – weekly hire on Thursdays.
## **Sheffield Alternative Provision for Education (SHAPED) Ltd** – daily hire, annually renewable contract.
We continue to look for ways to make the church a centre of activity for the community whilst at the same time bring in additional income to support the ministry of the church.
## **Ministry changes due to Covid-19**
The following ministries from the church continue to be on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions
- **Cotleigh Care home services**
- **Schools work**
5
The intention is that these will recommence once the relevant government restrictions are lifted, and it is safe to do so.
The following ministries have been developed, amended or ceased due to the Covid-19 restrictions:
- **Food Bank –** this has expanded due to community need. The church continues to work in partnership with Hope Church, Halfway, and now has a team of voluntary workers to do packing, delivery, and befriending. As a result, people in the community are now engaging with the church at other events. There were also clients referred to us from the local schools, who received a luxury Christmas ‘hope hamper’ as a gift from the church.
- **Family Service** – the Sunday morning service has now been re-established, so the afternoon Family Service has therefore ceased.
- **Parenting Course –** this will commence in January 2022 and be school based.
- **Alpha Course –** this is a course for those exploring faith and has been on-hold in 2021 but will recommence early 2022
## **Connect Groups and Early Bird Prayer Groups**
Throughout the financial year, the 5 mid-week pastoral connect groups and 2 early bird prayer groups were all held over Zoom. These groups were key in supporting church members through the isolation and loneliness created by the pandemic.
In September 2021, the groups were restructured and relaunched to allow for the creation of a missional community based around the people in the church who live in the Hackenthorpe and Owlthorpe area. This group of around 1015 people started to meet in person mid-week at the church building with the aim of developing strong relationships and links into the community. All the other groups have continued to meet via zoom.
A youth connect group was created early in 2021 by Jamie Holt, the church youth leader and this has met throughout the year on a Wednesday night when government guidelines has permitted. This along with the bi-weekly youth worship practises have been key in supporting young people in the church throughout the pandemic.
## **Youth and Children’s Ministry Strategy**
Jamie Holt and Amy Hitchmough have been actively engaging children and young people throughout the year, in whatever way the pandemic has allowed, in order to maintain a level of stability and continuity in their young lives. They have written and begun to develop their youth and children’s ministry strategies and will be presenting these to the Company Directors in early 2022.
In addition to the youth connect group and youth band practises mentioned above, the Ark2 mother and toddler group was relaunched in September 2021 as was the Sparks children’s ministry and youth group which are held during the Sunday morning services.
Chris Jeavons, Senior Pastor has become a Community School Governor at Birley Spa School which forms a strong bond between the church and one of the local junior schools and helps in building the schools work in the area.
## **Missions**
The church has continued to provide both financial and pastoral support to ministries we relate to in China, Greece and Mexico. The annual pastoral visit to Thassos Christian Fellowship in Greece was not possible due to the pandemic but is planned for 2022. It was the intention to send a party of volunteers to Youth with a Mission (YWAM) in Mexico in 2021 to support the work there but again this was not possible due to Covid-19. Jean Glover, our missionary in China has indicated that she will be returning to the UK on a permanent basis in May 2022. At a more local level, the church was involved in a Sheffield city wide prayer walk called ARISE, joining with many churches across the city.
6
## **Summary**
Despite it being another difficult year due to the global pandemic, the church has continued to proactively share the Christian faith and practically serve its members and the wider community.
The newly, expanded staff team have formed very strong relationships with Chris Jeavons, Senior Pastor and the weekly staff team meeting ensures that the staff work well together and have a common purpose and vision.
The directors, staff and volunteer church members have never ceased to move forward with the vision of the church and have found innovative ways to carry out the weekly activities whilst adhering to the government Covid guidelines
We look forward to the coming year with a great deal of hope and excitement for what God has in store for us as a church and anticipation of an easing of the pandemic.

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
## **Leased assets**
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
## **Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services**
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
## 2 **Company status**
The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
The church became a registered company on 27 June 2013 and commenced its activities on 31 October 2013 when it took over all the assets, liabilities and activities of Rother Valley Church (registered charity number 1041890). Rother Valley Church was subsequently removed from the Charity Commission register on 30 April 2014.
