Circuit Annual Report 2021-22

The Chester le Street Methodist Circuit consist of 6 Methodist churches, as well as two Circuit Church plant projects: Re:new, which meets in a local café in Chester le Street town centre and Barley mow Mission Project, which is based in the Barley Mow area of Birtley.

During the year 2021-2022 our Circuit and its constituent churches have been working to resume our usual activities following the various Covid -19 restrictions, as well as supporting the communities we serve during those restrictions.

As a circuit our key aims are expressed through the four categories of the Methodist Church’s “Our Calling” framework, which are: Worship, Learning and Caring, Serving, and Evangelism

As such, we exist to:

A brief fnancial review of the year.

We have in general achieved our financial targets for the year.

Income

All churches have been able to maintain their assessments. We have continued to receive rental income from the manse on Newcastle Road.

Expenditure

Salaries and stipends were increased in line with the Methodist Church policy and the living wage.

??% of unrestricted income was the Circuit contribution to the work of the District and Connexion (??% of total costs).

Other expenditure included stipends/salaries, manse maintenance, travel costs etc.

Plans for 2022-2023

Our financial plans for the coming year have been prepared on the basis that we maintain Circuit ministerial staff of one part time Superintendent and one full time Deacon. We aim to employ a part-time (15 hours a week) Circuit Administrator.

Basis of Preparation and Legal Framework

Risk Management

Any major risks identified will be recorded by the Circuit Leadership Team (none have been identified) and professional advice will be taken if required.

Risk assessments are carried out for church buildings and for events organised by the Circuit.

Income and expenditure are monitored in total and compared with the approved annual budget on a half yearly basis to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves.

Safeguarding

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly form the creation of people in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

Methodist Connexional practice outlines commitment to the following principles:

The Chester le Street Methodist Circuit commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy, government legislation, guidance, and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches.

The Chester le Street Methodist Circuit commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people that will ensure people are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable.

Activities and achievements

During this year the Circuit has supported the churches in emerging from the restrictions and challenges experienced due to Covid-19. This has included

helping churches to safely re-open their buildings and resume activities, particularly with regard to acts of public worship. We have also made provision for those unable to access our buildings, by providing monthly written resources to over 100 households, and offering online services each week.

We have continued to develop new work within the Barley Mow area of the circuit, in partnership with Rev Fabio Vilela.

Reserves Policy

The reserves policy for the circuit is to hold a minimum sum equivalent to 4 months average expenditure. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on manses and/or to be able to continue in the shortterm funding planned activities in the event of any inability to raise the full circuit assessment from churches.

Chester-le-Street Methodist Circuit Year ended 31st August 2018

Notes to the fnancial statements

The accounts are regarded as being draft at this stage because they are subject to any adjustments which may be identified during the course of the Independent Examination. Jill Hindmarsh has once again agreed to carry out the Independent Examination of the circuit accounts.

The circuit youth worker, Rebecca Stobbart, is part-time. The circuit is committed to reviewing Rebecca's salary regularly and in line with Methodist Church guidance on the living wage. Laura Wolfe, our circuit administrator, left our employment duriung the year and has not yet been replaced.

6 Expenditure on manse repairs was slightly less than had been budgeted for.

7 We continue to set aside money towards the next quinquennial inspections.

8

Overall we incurred a deficit of £3615.90 in the year, which was substantially less than I had budgeted for. However, my earlier comments regarding ministers expenses need to be borne in mind.

9

We lent £1500 to Great Lumley Methodist Church to tide them over during the pandemic which we hope will be repaid in due course when their church finances recover from the lockdown restrictions.
