The Trustees submit theirannual report and the financial statements forthe year ended 30 September
2024.
Structure. gOVerna￿e. and management
Sheffield Church of The Nazarene is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whlch registered with the
Charity Commission on 24 December 2014. Sheffield Church of The Nazarene ts governed by the rules
and regulations set down in its goveming document.
The Senior Pastor of the thurch is ex-officio chairperson of the Board of Charity Trustees and thelr
position 15 reviewed after two years and then wery four years afterthat. Following the resignation of
Rev. Tracey Day on 31° August 2023 Rev Tommy Goodwin was appointed as Interbm Pastor on the 151
November 2024. This Is a part lime posiiTon and due to its interim nature Rev Goodwin has not been
appointed as a Trustee of the charity.
The remaining Trustees are elected annually by the members of Sheffield Church of The Nazarene at
the annual 8eneral meetin8 held in February l March each year.
The Chairpetson is ex officio by virtue of htslher Offi￿ as Pastor of Sheffield Church of The Nazarene
and the NYI and Children's Ministry representatives are also ex officio by vlrtue of their office within
the Church. Since the resignation of Maria Prescott in August 2023 the leader of our Chlldren's
Ministries. Maggie Meade, chooses not to sit on the Board of Trustees.
Govemance and Wider Network
The Board of Trustees meets regularly. nornially on a monthly basis to consider the work and
management of the church and assess and plan the financial and other aspects of the work and
d1￿ctIOn of the charity. The church/CIO is a member of the Church of The Nazarene British Isles South
District (a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, Company No 7028764: Charity No 1133336)
which in turn is a member of The Global Church of The Naarene which has its headquarters in Lenexa,
USA.
Committee chair and members are appointed annually by the Board of Trustees. Committees report
to the Church Board monthly at Board meetings. Committees make recommendations to the Board
but do not make decisions.
At the Board meeting in February 2024 It was agreed to stand down the Building Committee and for
any items relating to the building to be brought strai8ht to the Board. The bulk of the Building Project
was completed in May 2016 and we returned to the buildlng in September 2016. There was some
continued remedial work which was completed In 2021. The Building Project was officlally closed In
October 2021 with the final payment to the architect. In view of this timeline of events disbandingthe
Building Committee in February 2024 seemed appropriate.
At the Board meeting in February 2024 it was agreed that the Finance Committee would continue to
meet with less frequency. This dectsion wa5 reached following the work done to implement all the
District Finance Policies. which are now in pla￿ and reviewed every two years. The Finance
Committee wlll meet at least once a year to review staff renumeration and make a recommendation
to the Board.
