The company became registered as a charity on 25 May 2014, with charity number 1158679. AMIE was recognised as a Convocation by Global Anglican Future Conference {GAFCONI in December 2020. A Convocation is another term for a Diocese-in-Formation. This healthy structure will enable fruitful mission. AMIE is part of the Anglican Network in Europe (ANIEI, which was itself authorised as an Anglican structure in 2020 by the Archbishops of Gafcon. Following agreement from GAFCON, a resolution was passed by the company members in June 2023 to change AMIE'S status from a Convocation to a Diocese. The governing document was amended to reflect this change. Board AMIE is governed by its members who meet annually as a Synod. They in turn elect a Board, comprising trustees (voting members of the Board) and non-voting members. Operational activities are delegated to the Executive Team, and a panel of bishops provides oversight and encouragement for the ministers in AMIE'S churches. Trustees retire by rotation every three years and may submit themselves for re-election. New or replacement trustees are appointed following regular review of the skills requirements on the Board. Trustee changes were as follows from l November 2023 to the signing of the accounts: Revd Leo Davison Resigned 29 June 2024 Revd Matthew Thompson Appointed 29 June 2024 No trustee was remunerated for their services as a trustee during or subsequent to the year.

These activities are Planting, Strengthening, Ministry, Membership and Operations. There are currently seven members of the Executive Team overseeing these five activity areas, including AMIE'S Operations Managers, which is the only directly employed role within the Mission. This role was filled during the year by Tom Hutton and Jo Bull. AMIE reimburses the employers of other members of the Executive Team for those Team members, time spent on AMIE activities. Out- of-pocket expenses may be claimed by all Executive Team members when they are engaged on Mission activities. Executive Team changes were as follows from l November 2023 to the signing of the accounts: Mrs Karen Soole Resigned as Women's Ministry Team Leader 31 August 2024 Objects AMIE'S objects, as an Anglican mission, are specifically restricted to the advancement of the Christian fa ith for the benefit of the public in particular but not exclusively by: strengthening church leaders and church congregations to respond effectively to Christ's command to make disciples of all nations- providing faithful, godly and servant-hearted leadership to God's people in promoting and defending the Christian faith- planting new churches that are established to further the Christian faith- facilitating appointments forchristian ministers and ordinands and other trainees where needed- and promoting unity and partnership in mission between churches and Christians in line with the above for the salvation of many and the glory of God. The Christian faith is defined in article 2 of the Articles of Association. In shaping the Mission's objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. AMIE Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements- Year ended 31 ouober 2024
Commercial in confidence Anglican Mission in England Trustees, Report- continued For the year ended 31 October 2024 Overview of Activities The Anglican Mission in England IAMIEI is a Bible-hearted diocese committed to starting and strengthening churches for the salvation of many and the glory of God. We are a fellowship of churches devoted to sharing God's Word with the many nations who live in England. Our conviction is that God transforms lives as the Bible is heard. We believe the Father works to make disciples of Jesus by changing hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit as Christians hold out the Scriptures. Achievements in the year Throughout the year, AMIE has continued to welcome new churches and identify future church leaders. Since its incorporation the Mission's stated goal has been to see 25 AMIE Churches by 2025, and 250 by 2050. Under God, these targets are being pursued by pioneering new churches, recruiting future leaders for ordination, and by welcoming existing Anglican churches in England to join AMIE. At 31 October 2024, the network included 30 Member Churches and 2 Pioneer Churche5. In March 2024, AMIE churches were asked to complete an Annual Partnership Form providing insights into the day to day running of the church along with data on church attendance. Another survey will be conducted in March 2025. In order to help grow this network of churches, as indicated above, the Executive Team includes individuals responsible for leading Planting, Ordination, Membership, Strengthening, Women's Ministry and Operations. Assisted by a panel of AMIE bishops, who see by overseeing and pastoring AMIE Church ministers, the Trustee Board is confident that this structure will provide appropriate support to the expanding network. In March 2024, AMIE held its annual conference. The theme of the conference was 'Rich' and it provided an invaluable opportunity for church ministers and those involved in leading churche5 to network together and be equipped for their ministries. The conference was also attended by several people who are interested in joining AMIE. They were able to meet with people and gain further information about the network and what membership entails. The next conference will take place in March 2025. This year AMIE were able to hold itsthird hybrid {in-person and online) Synod gathering where lay and clergy reps from all AMIE churches got together to make strategic decisions about how best to further AMIE'S charitable objects. It was a hugely encouraging day where attendees celebrated God's grace and provision over the past year and looked forward to the future. Two key resolutions made at Synod 2024. One was the decision to introduce a new category of churches, known as Pioneer Churches. This will be a broader category of churches, including all those who are not yet registered as their own charities. It recognises that not all churches start in the same way and allows AMIE to provide support to a wider range of churches and ministers. AMIE Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements- Year ended 31 ouober 2024
Commercial in confidence Anglican Mission in England Trustees, Report- continued For the year ended 31 October 2024 The second decision was the approval of a Vocational Diaconate which allows people to be ordained as Deacons indefinitely. The bishops are working on the discernment process and practicalities for this, and we look forward to welcoming our first new Vocational Deacons soon. Plans for future years AMIE will continue to fulfil its objects as described above, by God's grace pursuing ongoing growth in the number of AMIE Churches and, specifically, planting churches and training gospel ministers. There are a number of people actively engaging with the Executive Team about the possibility of planting new AMIE Churches, getting ordained or bringing an existing local church into the AMIE network. This year has seen ongoing high interest in and enquires to join AMIE from potential ordinands, planters and existing churches. Alongside this, we have seen ordained clergy looking for ways to serve as individuals within the network, and the bishops are exploring possibilities and process for enabling this. With this in mind, following on from consultation with Synod, the Trustees have been working to develop AMIE'S vision, goals and strategy in order to support the broad range of activities across AMIE and to secure the substantial funding which will be required. Centrally, AMIE will continue to support its local churches, for example by providing policies and advice on church planting, safeguarding, financial and HR matters. The trustees are satisfied that the Mission has been appropriately structured to support its current activities. Financial Review The net increase in unrestricted funds in the year was £71,641 12023: net increase of £5,502), representing net income of £71,64112023: net income of £7,434) and a transfer to restricted funds of £nil12023: transfers to restricted funds of £1,932). At the year end, unrestricted fund reserves were £80,76512023: £9,124), and restricted fund reserves were £20,12412023: £16,072). Along with a number of individuals and trusts, during the year AMIE Churches and AMIE Supporting Churches were the main source of funds for the Mission's ongoing activities. As noted above, AMIE'S ambitious growth goals will require substantial funding. Reserves policy AMIE has a policy to hold its free resenies (defined as General Fund net current assets} within a range of one to three months, budgeted General Fund expenditure. At 31 October 2024 this represented a range of £9,000 to £27,000. Actual free resenies at 31 October 2024 were £80,76512023: £9,124), this is higher than the target range due. in most part. to unbudgeted income being received. These funds will be used in the coming months as we look to fund strategic appointments to help further the work and vision of AMIE.
