Annual Report 2023/2024

1 Introduction

This is the tenth 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 2024.

2 Governance

Throughout this reporting period four trustees, Neville Taylor, Daniel Hall, Joan Power and Jackie Taylor oversaw the charitable purposes of the church.

Day to day church operations continued to be managed by our Leadership Team comprising Chris van D’Arque, Jessica van D’Arque, Janet Ayres, Richard Old, and Neville Taylor.

Several individuals who regularly attend church events and meetings supported the Trustees and Leadership Team by 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:

Details of how these objectives have been achieved during the reporting period are set out below.

We met weekly for our Sunday gatherings in the heart of our community at Birdholme Working Men’s Club. We also used this space from time to time for mid-week meetings including prayer meetings and our Life Untangled Course (see below).

We continued to use our social media channels to communicate the message and meaning of Christian faith for life today, to encourage and pray for each other, and to creatively use these media to expand our communications reach into the wider community of Chesterfield and beyond.

i) Weekly meetings of the church on Sunday mornings; incorporating an element led by volunteers specifically for children aged 0 to 14yrs.

Sunday meetings held in reporting period – 49 meetings in-person at Birdholme and 1 off-site meeting (total 50 meetings)

Average attendance – Adults 27 Children 7

ii) Connect Groups meeting weekly in homes are the principal opportunity to gather with fellow Christians in smaller groups to study, pray, support, and grow in understanding. These groups are the front-line for pastoral care provisions, with those leading these groups trained in up-to-date listening skills and spiritual care practice.

Connect Groups – 4 N[o] .

Average attendance (all groups) – estimated at 5 people per group (20 people)

iii) Prayer Meetings - Redeemer King meets monthly to pray together for each other, our shared life and activities as a Christian community, our witness, work and support for the community and the developing life, ministry, witness and activities as a local Church with a district vision.

Annual Report 2023/2024

v) Life Untangled is a Redeemer King-developed apologetics event designed to give a thoughtful and compassionate Christian approach to complex issues and situations that present within society and globally today, and to resource Christian to live a thoughtful life of faith, engaged with the issues and situations that present in life today and both a personal level and as members of wider society. The course was delivered over several weekly sessions during spring 2024.

3.2 Objective 3b: reaching out in the local community and beyond.

The Local Context

During this reporting period, we remained a vibrant, warmly inclusive church community. We extended an open invitation to all our gatherings and meetings. Furthermore, we sought to be generous with our time, skills, experience and gifts, and serve our community meaningfully.

We developed meaningful relationships with the local community and leadership, and partnered with existing initiatives, such as Gussie’s Kitchen and Chesterfield Food Bank. The organisations we actively partnered with are all focussed on care and support for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged within the community.

We recognised that many people within our community continued to struggle financially with the cost of living. Therefore, towards the end of the previous reporting period we applied for and received a National Lottery Awards for All grant which enabled us to set up a mobile, professional standard kitchen platform along with refectory furniture tables and seating. Between November 2023 and July 2024 Redeemer King ran a mid-week supper club (Open Table) in the Birdholme Working Men’s Club, serving hot two course meals to circa forty guests of all ages. Meals were prepared to a high standard and served in an environment to which people were welcomed naturally as our guests. Open Table was funded through small locally available grants topped up as necessary from our church funds. Both kitchen and front of house were staffed voluntarily by folks from Redeemer King Church.

Many of those who attend Redeemer King are also voluntarily or employed within local third-sector organisations, including The Message Trust, Gussie’s Kitchen, Derby City Mission, and the Chesterfield Food Bank.

National and International

The Redeemer King church family and friends sponsor children in Ngong Kenya through a partnership with Compassion UK.

3.3 Future Plans

During the final weeks of this reporting period, for reasons outside of the control of Redeemer King Church, Birdholme Working Men’s Club ceased trading. As a Church we are deeply saddened by this development not just because of the loss of our “home” but because of the wider loss to the Birdholme Community.

Whilst there is currently no similar facility in the local area, Birdholme remains our community. We will therefore find temporary premises nearby where we can store our equipment and continue to meet as a Church. We will remain open to All. As opportunities arise within the constraints we now face, we plan to re-establish a community outreach programme.

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 seek to make a practical difference to the lives of people in Chesterfield.

We will continue to:
