**Annual Report 2021/2022** ## **1. Introduction** This is the eighth annual report for Redeemer King Church; a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Commission on 18[th] November 2014 (N[o] . 1159252). The report covers the period ending 31[st] July 2022. ## **2. Governance** At the start of the reporting period there were four trustees overseeing the charitable purposes of the church. Benjamin Garstang stepped down as a trustee in April 2022. Arrangements for appointing trustees are set out in our constitution. By agreement Mr Neville Taylor is the Chair of Trustees and Mr Richard Kirk continues in the role of Treasurer for the charity. Chris van D’Arque, Jessica van D’Arque, Neville Taylor and Richard Old were appointed to the Leadership team in January 2022. Jim McGlade also agreed to join the Leadership Team for one year from January 2022 onwards. Joshua Botham stepped down from the Leadership Team in March 2022. Steve Parker stepped down from the Leadership Team in May 2022. Chris van D’Arque was appointed as our new Church Leader in May 2022. By the end of the reporting period the leadership team consisted of Chris van D’Arque, Jessica van D’Arque, Richard Kirk, Janet Ayres, Richard Old, Neville Taylor and Jim McGlade. A number of individuals who regularly attend church events and meetings are, along with trustees, taking responsibility on a voluntary basis for various functions that are crucial to achieving our charitable aims and objectives. ## **3.** ## **Activities and Objectives** The charitable purposes and objectives of Redeemer King Church are to advance Christianity in Derbyshire by means of: - i. communicating Christian messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature, in accordance with our basis of faith; - ii. identifying and addressing the needs of socially and economically disadvantaged members of our community through engagement with existing, and the development of new, initiatives as appropriate and in keeping with our basis of faith. Details of how these objectives have been achieved during the reporting period are set out below. ## **3.1 Objective 1: to communicate Christian messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature, in accordance with our basis of faith.** From June 2021, we were able to meet physically in limited numbers in the Stonegravels Parish Centre in Chesterfield and gradually increased our numbers there as COVID-19 restrictions were eased. As the main hall was small, we were unable to meet as a full church family, so we sought out a new meeting location that would allow us to meet safely in largely numbers. In February 2022, we moved to Birdholme Working Mens Club as our new home, which gave us the space to meet to worship and make use of 2 separate large spaces to support our Kids Church work. We have continued to use our RK Family Online Facebook Group, to share, encourage and pray for each other and have been sharing short messages to church weekly by email. All of these activities have enabled us to support each other, grow as a church community and expand our reach online way beyond Chesterfield. **Annual Report 2021/2022** a) Weekly meetings of the church on Sunday mornings; incorporating an element led by volunteers specifically for children age 0 to 14yrs. Sunday meetings held in reporting period – **45 online meetings, 6 meetings in person (total 51 meetings)** Average attendance – **Adults 28 Children 16** b) Encounter. Monthly meetings of the church on a Sunday evening. Meetings held in reporting period – 6 online, 1 meeting in person Average attendance – **13 online, 6 in person** c) Midweek ‘Home Groups’ meeting weekly in homes (and online via Zoom since March 2020); an opportunity for smaller groups to study, pray, support one another and serve the community. Number of midweek groups – **9. Average attendance (all groups) – estimated at 6 people per group (54 people)** d) Regular Prayer & Vision nights. Meetings to gather the church family to pray and look towards the future. Prayer & Vision nights held in reporting period – **15 online meetings and 0 physical meetings.** e) Occasional evangelistic events often with prominent guest speakers tackling a range of subjects. f) Alpha course. An evangelistic teaching course introducing the Christian faith over a ten-week period. **2 courses held over the period with average attendance of 5 people per course** . g) Specific events aimed at outreach including quizzes, special services and festivals. h) Specific events aimed at men, women and those in the age range 18-30. ## **3.2 Objective 2: reaching out in the local community and beyond.** ## **a. Local community** During the reporting period, we have continued to build a vibrant, inclusive church community, which attracts families, couples and individuals from all backgrounds, both local to where we meet and across the wider Chesterfield and Sheffield area. As a community we are able to care for and support each other according to need. Now that we have moved to Birdholme, we are building relationships with the local community and existing initiatives to support and impact the community in Jesus’ name. **Annual Report 2021/2022** We have continued to maintain a hardship fund from which we help those in need in our church family and others known to us, for example, shopping for food and household items, kitting out families with carpets, furniture and appliances, paying transport costs to see family or attend appointments, and so on. Many of those who attend Redeemer King are involved with local charities: The Message Trust, Gussies Kitchen, Derby City Mission and the Chesterfield Food Bank. ## **b. National and International** The Redeemer King church family and friends sponsor 55 children (at March 2020) in Ngong Kenya through a partnership with Compassion UK. We also support the Message Trust, Hope House, Gussies Kitchen, Christians Against Poverty, the Cinnamon Network, Watoto and Christian Vision for Men. ## **3.3 Future plans** Following the appointment of Chris van D’Arque in May 2022, a significant piece of work has been completed to define and agree our values as a church and to determine our future plans to impact the community of Birdholme and beyond in Jesus’ name. ## **4. Public Benefit Report** As a church we exist to communicate the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. We want people to be full of faith, hope and new life through faith in God. In all we do we point beyond ourselves to the hope we have in our God and also seek to make a practical difference to the lives of people in Chesterfield. We will continue to: - take this life changing message to all that we connect with; - provide Christian teaching to our community and beyond, in accordance with our basis of faith; - continue to develop links to best serve the people of our town, country and beyond; - provide opportunity and access through programmes and events for people of all ages and backgrounds; - serve and love our town, county and country through both existing and new initiatives; - support the needs of the poor in our church and those known to us, through our hardship fund ## **5.
