Weha
e summarised our vision for Emmanuel in the following statement:
agine a church that's flooding its local community with the light of the gospel and making a visible
ifference to the lives of all kinds of people: that's what we long to see at Emmanuel Church, on the
est Hill of Hasting5, to the glory of God.
we look to the future we envision a growing and dynamic, gospel-hearted church, full of men,
omen, and children who find their identity in Christ and rejoice in living for him. It's a church with
ultiple. vibrèntgospel Tninistries forall ages with trained and trustworthy leaders; where faithful bible
aching is valued and expected- where the gospel is proclaimed with urgency and purpose. It's a
urch of disciple-making disciples: where members are experiencing the life-changing power of the
spel and helping others to experients it too.
s an others-focused churth where we cherish one another in Christ; a family of believers who think
one another before themselves and gladly accept sacrifice for each other's sake- where we love one
other in practical ways and everyone gives and receives. It's a church in which relationships are loyal,
pportive and accountable,. where names are remembered and absence is noticed: where we join
gether to laugh and cry. challenge and encourage. pray and praise.
s an outward-looking church that works for the good of our local community and seeks the lost with
e gospel of grace in creative and relevant ways,. a place where the needy find help, the broken find
aling, the lonely find friendship, and all hear the offer of new life in Christ. It's a church that's
mmitted to supporting other gospel ministries. in the UK and overseas, by givin8 Its money and
nding its people to serve in various ways.

Financial Review
Total receipts for 2020 were £108.Ik of which £104.Ik were unTeslricled and of that £84.8k
were voluntary donations (including a £20k one-off gift). Restricted donaiions of £2.8k
were also received.
Following a financial review in November 2019, planned giving increased in 2020 by 8.9%
on the previous year. Despite the effects of the Covid pandemic, monthly standing order
income remained steady throughout the year, unlike loose cash collections. which fell
dramatically by 80% due to the necessary closure of church and Covid restrictions when
open.
The long-ternl letting of St Ciements Hall continues to bring in an income of £15k for the
year.
£105k h&s been spent from restricted. designated & unrestricted funds to provide the
Christian ministry of Enllnanuel Church. This includes our parish contribution to the
Chichester diocese of £57k. which increased this year by 55% and pays towards the stipend
and housing for the clergy, along with a contribution towards central costs.
It is recognised by the Chichester diocese that the Hastings deanery churches are in an area
of high social deprivation. So although churches are encouraged to meet their Parish costs
it is understood that this is not always achievable. Emmanuel church managed to pay 80%
of its costs for ihis year, an increase of 1% on 2019.
The other large expenditure of £27.4k is for salaries for both ollr Families Worker and
Administrator, which has been met mainly from Testricted funds where possible and the
balance from unrestricted funds, as budgeted.
Very little buildings and maintenan(t work has been carried out this year due to Covid
restrictions.
Restricted funds have seen an expected net deficit over the year of £12.4k wbilsi general
funds have increased by £15.5L Resulting in a total net illcre&se in funds of £3.1k.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC wlicy to maintain an unrestricted and undesignated rese￿¢ balan￿ of at least 3
months unres(riLied expenses. this equates 10 £22.2k. Total reserves stand at £64.6k at 31
December 2020, £60k in general unrestricted reserves with a fiffther £4.6k in restricted
funds.
