Report Of The Trustees

For The Year Ended 31 August 2024

The trustees have the pleasure of submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Objects of the Charity

The charity, which is a church, is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity’s principal objectives, as set out in its governing document are: (1) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith exclusively by facilitating the charitable activities of the Fellowship; and (2) such other charitable objects as shall, in the opinion of the charity trustees further the work of the Fellowship.

Summary of the charity’s main activities and achievements

To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:

Church Ministry

City Church Manchester holds weekly Sunday services to provide Bible teaching, and a time to engage in worship for our congregation. We offer to pray for all those attending and through the connection cards and prayer slips, notice that we average 8-20 newcomers each week. It is a big priority for us to be able to love, encourage and support people passing through Manchester and the church community. Drawing them to the hope of the gospel.

Our mid-week training track – Equip – runs 4-week tracks on current topics throughout the year and led to over 450 attendees being trained.

228 people attended our Weekend Away in Wales. It allowed for church regulars from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds to interact and encourage each other as they engaged in Bible teaching.

The Student team saw growth of student attendance to 30 students through student getaways, social events and ministry input. Youth work grew to 12 with some older members choosing to be baptised and considering membership in the church.

It’s been a great year of training! We’ve loved incorporating some more social meet-ups (Come Dine with Me, Historic Pubs of Manchester, and Street Food Tour) alongside Equip training tracks. Connect went well and as we looked to transition to meeting weekly and starting some more groups, we’re encouraged to see more people being willing to step up and be trained to lead and host groups in their homes.

Christmas Events and Community Outreach

We welcomed many new people each week, many of whom are exploring Christianity either for the first time or after a long hiatus away from church and spiritual practice. We ran regular seeker courses for those at that stage in their journey, and believe that belonging to a Christian community is a great way to see faith lived out. We have also sought to have 1,000 evangelistic drinks with non-Christian friends, colleagues and neighbours.

We had a record-breaking 613 people come to our Christmas services and donated hampers and gifts to local care homes. It was a joy to wrap and deliver these gifts –hopefully the start of an ongoing ministry to these care homes, in partnership with Silver Cord Ministries.

Our Football club is the UK’s largest Christian-run club – 3 men's teams, one in each of the three South Manchester and Cheshire Christian Football League (SMCCFL) divisions. Athletic (first team) and United (third team) are in the running for the top 2 in their respective divisions. We reached the quarter final (last 8) of the National Christian Cup, and the final of the Manchester Churches Trophy.

Shared passion for playing football brings together demographics and nationalities – resulting in a massive gospel opportunity as only 20% of players are Christians. We hear stories of friendships developing and guys opening up their lives – sharing meals, going to the pub, and watching sports. One pair went to London together for the fun! We aim to be more than a sports team – encouraging our Christian players to share Christ with other players and teammates.

Building Sale and Flat Purchase

Having received the gift of a church building in 2020, the trustees came to the decision that we would not be in a position to plant a church into the building in the foreseeable future and so took the decision to sell the property to another church and use the proceeds for the charitable purposes of City Church.

The trustees decided to invest the money in the Building Fund into a residential property in the city centre so that the value of the fund is benchmarked against the price of property in the city. All income from the residential property will be paid into the Building Fund with running costs of the property set-off against this amount.

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Finances

The Lord has wonderfully provided for the church this financial year through the steady increase in member giving, external individual supporters and international church partners.

Reserves Policy

Unrestricted funds are kept in reserve to cover up to 12 months’ general expenditure. City Church Manchester seeks to keep at least 3 months expenditure in reserves as per the Charity Commission recommendations.

Responsibilities of trustees

Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

Approval

This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:
