The Parochial Church Council of Christ Church, Stone Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 Charity registration number: 1156528

Objectives and Activities

The Parochial Church Council of Christ Church, Stone (the PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, the Reverend Paul Kingman, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also spiritually responsible for the maintenance of the church.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Christ Church. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and sacrament. Also, through non sacramental activities of hospitality and fellowship we aim to reach non churched members of the community.

Public Benefit

The trustees of the PCC are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Stone it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:

Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2[nd] January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).

PCC members are elected by existing members on a rolling 3-year basis. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. For PCC members, a service is held including an induction prayer for those newly elected. Training is acquired through attending the PCC meetings, no individual responsibilities are given to those newly elected. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC meet 4 times a year. [Given its responsibilities, the PCC has a number of sub committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These include Worship, Mission and Outreach, Buildings and Finance and Youth Work. Each reports back to the PCC with the minutes of their meetings.]

Sub-Committees:

Mission Task Group Pastoral Care Task Group House Group – Dr D. Bell House Group – Mr P. Mason House Group – Dr S. Kingman House Group – Mr D. Rowlands House Group – Mr Chris Nix House Group – Mrs Estella Woodhead

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £19,368. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year end was £19,497 (excluding designated funds) which is marginally higher than this target.

Safeguarding

The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

Reporting Serious Incidents

A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into

The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year

Risk Management

THE PARISH SETTING :

The United Benefice covers the northern part of the town of Stone plus two villages to the northeast. The population of Stone is 16,385 and rising due to house developments. It was formerly a market town, but now known as a Canal Town and has two industrial parks for businesses. The parish has a total population ca. 4,480 [Stone 3,500; Oulton 800; Moddershall 180] and aSa of 81, 28 and 10 respectively.? Have kept this the same as they did not do a statistics calculator for 2020! More recently the town has

Page 5

seen the building of new retail outlets, a new leisure centre, the current development of the canal wharf with the addition of a theatre. A train service provides a link to Stafford, Birmingham, Stoke on Trent and Crewe.

THE CHURCHES

Ecclesiastical Tradition : the benefice of two parishes is in the gift of The Simeon’s Trust and so has had an Anglican evangelical ministry since its establishment – with an emphasis on shaping the church’s life and ministry according to the Holy Bible and worshipping the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The two village churches are more traditional in style but share the same Patron. In 1989 a joint Benefice was formed and continues to be one today.

“Almighty and everlasting God, who by thy holy servant, Charles Simeon, didst mould the lives of many that they might go forth and teach others also; mercifully grant that as through evil report and good report he ceased not to preach thy saving Word, so we may never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Our Lord, who with Thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth one God world without end. Amen”.

[A prayer used in King's College, Cambridge for 13[th] Nov – the date of Charles Simeon's death].

Any other activities or comments:

We have regular times of outreach to the community. The Vicar was part of the organising the nationwide mission called A Passion For Life (March 2010, 2014) and the parishes ran events under this banner including a collaborative event with other north Staffs churches at Stoke City FC conference room (2010

Page 6

with Ken Howells & Rico Tice; 2014 with Robin Oake & Roger Carswell). Other outreach events include ladies outreach events; men’s meals with speakers; a mini-mission with flower festival in 2018

We have organised ‘ Advent Windows’ since 2010 (an Advent display in shop windows involving community groups). We have Governor responsibility for three Church of England Schools and the Vicar is Chair of Trustees for CCA. The Vicar serves on the Diocesan Synod and the Deanery Pastoral Standing Committee. The Benefice is a partner church for the ‘ Midlands Gospel Partnership’ (MGP) encouraging mission in the Midlands. We support several Christian mission partners overseas and at home including UCCF.

THE INCUMBENT’S AND PCC’S VISION & PRIORITIES FOR THE FUTURE:

In conjunction with the Diocesan vision for ‘Growing for Growth’ we have adopted a simple framework within which to develop a Bible based ministry. The two PCC’s have agreed to make disciples by pursuing three general aims, to be developed over time:

1. Nurture of believers: so that we become more like Christ.

2. Evangelism : to gather God’s elect into the joy of worship through faith in Jesus Christ.

3. Worship of God: to increasingly delight in God’s majesty while giving the whole of our lives God as described in Rom 12v1-2 (fed by nurture and evangelism).

This vision statement is the basis of the Mission Action Plan . Inevitably this will be age-specific in many of our activities, but we endeavour to fulfil our mission irrespective of someone’s age as we share the good news to all, whatever their cultural or religious background. The MAP applies to the Benefice, although we recognise that each of the three churches has their own part to play in order to fulfil these aims.

1. Nurture

We aim to encourage the nurture of our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Actions:

To faithfully expound the Holy Bible in Sunday services and also in the children’s classes – this will require our prayerful preparation and application so as to make disciples.

To encourage a daily discipline of Bible reading, praise and prayer amongst all congregation members.

We will aim to meet together for study courses during Lent and at other times to grow in our understanding of Biblical truth and how to live as a community of Jesus’ disciples.

We will continue to provide pastoral care for the community through our support and instruction for baptisms, weddings and funerals and at other times as they arise.

We will hold events that promote our meeting together, so as to build our identity as a community of faith.

2. Evangelism

In obedience to Jesus’ command to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ (Mt 28v18-20) we will commit ourselves to the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Actions:

We will provide services at the main Festivals such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter as opportunities to bring guests to hear more about the good news of Jesus Christ.

We will provide a regular Christianity Explored discipleship course to help to strengthen faith in Jesus Christ and lead to disciples who will also make disciples of others.

We will hold an annual children’s holiday club to draw more children and their families into the life of the church and to encourage them to follow Jesus.

We will resource a children and families worker to oversee our ministry amongst young people as we pray that this will lead to lasting fruit.

Page 7

We shall maintain our support of Christian mission partners both in the UK and overseas by giving up to 10% of our gross income to the work.

We will endeavour to demonstrate the gospel in action by being good news to the community – by providing Governors so as to promote good schools for the area that uphold the Christian foundation; to explore the development of further ways to support families in the area.

We will aim to encourage the community to partner with us in providing a giant Advent Calendar for Christmas.

3. Worship

We aim to grow in Christ-likeness both in our personal conduct and in our service in the world. This is achieved through being committed to the local church as the body of Christ, to accept pastoral oversight (of the incumbent and all who exercise a leadership role) as a means of encouraging our faith in the Lord Jesus and to promote godly living and service in order to bring honour and glory to His name. We meet on a Sunday to give praise and thanksgiving for the mercies and grace we have received from the Lord; to confess our sins with the intention of not simply showing remorse, but leading to our genuine repentance and change to become more Christ-like; to engage prayerfully with what the Holy Bible teaches us; to remember the death of Christ on the cross as the basis of our being put right with God to which the two sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper point.

Actions:

We will provide a regular service on a Sunday in each church, as resources will allow, drawing on the best hymns of the past and present that are inspired by the Scriptures.

We will provide the opportunity for small groups to meet for the purpose of Bible Study and prayer as a means of discipleship, both in homes and at church.

We aim to have an annual Covenant Service to as an opportunity to remember the sheer privilege of being the people of God and to renew our commitment to the Lord.

We will encourage more people to take part in the church prayer gatherings as a demonstration of our reliance on the Lord and desire to do His will.

We will endeavour to take regular services at Autumn House nursing home as our resources allow, providing spiritual care and encouragement in an appropriate way.

A SUMMARY OF OUR MISSION ACTION PLAN from 2019.

Although we have set out the vision in our own terms, we believe that there is a good correspondence with the current Diocesan priorities. For this reason, we have set out below our goals for the next phase utilising the terms of reference: Discipleship, Vocation and Evangelism or the forthcoming period.
