## **Annual Report of the Elders and Trustees of Jubilee Church Derby** _**for the financial year April 2021 – March 2022**_
## **Objectives**
The objectives of the charity are primarily to promote evangelical Christianity, to minister to the poor and needy and to provide teaching and training to the church. The Elders and Trustees are once again pleased with the progress that has been made during this year, which has, again, been quite an unusual year.
## **Governance**
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Trustees. The day-to-day running of the church is delegated to the Elders who also provide the Spiritual Leadership of the church. The finance team provides regular financial reports to both groups.
This has been the sixth year of operating as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The previous charitable trust, Jubilee Church, Derby (charity no. 1097142) transferred all assets and liabilities to the CIO Jubilee Church Derby (charity no. 1162660) on 1[st] April 2016.
## **Review of activities**
The Trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The New Testament shows that the church is not a building, but rather a group of ordinary people whose lives have been changed by a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jubilee is a ChristCentral Church, which is part of the wider Newfrontiers family of churches. The ChristCentral Team (of which Jubilee’s Lead Elder is a part), serves over 275 churches in more than 25 nations.
**Our vision is to be a vibrant community shaped by the Spirit, equipped by the Word and sent to the nations.** We want to build a large vibrant City Church that gathers centrally on a Sunday and has small groups meeting in and impacting local communities all across Derby. We desire to see many people come to faith in Jesus and grow in their relationship with Him.
As well as working in the City of Derby, we are also planting a church in Burton-upon-Trent and praying about other places where we may want to start a small group or church plant in the future.
We aim to fulfil our vision by:
- Loving God
- Loving one another
- Loving those who don’t know Jesus yet
- Serving the City
- Reaching nations
2
Over the last year we have sought to meet these objectives by a range of activities. The majority of these activities are undertaken voluntarily by members of the church. Once again, the Elders and Trustees wish to gratefully acknowledge the time and energy voluntarily given by these members in order for the church to fulfil its objectives.
The financial year in question was still a challenging time in the UK, with the country experiencing different lockdowns and other restrictions due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Staff continued to work at home at the beginning of the year, but by the autumn term, the “normal” had returned to office-based working.
## **Sundays**
By April 2021, we had got used to using Zoom for our main Sunday gathering. Many different people were involved in leading meetings and contributing to church online. Whilst we are extremely grateful to the teams that made it happen, we were all very aware that this was only a temporary solution and we looked forward to being able to meet together inperson once again. Restrictions lifted over time and we began to consider our next steps. As we were approaching the summer period, we looked into the possibility of meeting outside. This could allow us to meet in-person but would be a far less risky environment for COVID transmission. Our Lead Elder met with school leaders he knew at Ridgeway Infant School in Littleover. They very kindly agreed to allow us to use their playing field on Sunday mornings, and also made some changes to buildings in order to give us access to mains power and toilet facilities. Thus, Jubilee Outdoors was born!
Jubilee Outdoors ran from May – August 2021. It was a great success! Members of the church were thrilled to be able to meet together in-person once again as it was outside masks were not mandatory and people could sing! Whilst there were a few wet Sundays, with the British weather being typically unpredictable, the meetings were largely dry and they gave us a perfect next step. We also found that new people who had been watching online started to visit us in-person. We were moving forwards!
We then began to look at returning to QUAD in the autumn and so began meetings with the team there to consider how that could work. They were extremely flexible in their approach and at the beginning of September, we moved our Sunday meetings, inside, to QUAD. We made mask wearing optional in the front seating area and reserved an area further back where we made mask wearing compulsory. This gave people options and allowed people to sit where they felt most comfortable. In reality, most people sat near the front in the “mask optional” area, but this layout did mean that those who were clinically vulnerable or nervous were cared for.
We also gave out stickers, and people could choose one of three, which showed they were happy to hug, give fist bumps, or just wave to others! Again, this gave people the security of knowing that their personal space was not going to be invaded if they didn’t want that.
Slowly, over the autumn and spring terms, we relaxed the restrictions and removed the related signs. By the end of this financial year, we were very glad to see the end of these!
## **Christmas**
It was great to be able to hold our annual Carol Service in-person once again. We also offered it online for those who preferred that option. We were able to take an offering for Faith Hope and Enterprise and their CEO, Kevin Gill, wrote this to us afterwards:
_“Thank you so much for the £1,000 gift from the Carol Service offering, which we received in our account yesterday. We will use this gift to provide Christmas hampers for all our residents (we currently have 38 adults and 1 child) and also to share a Christmas meal with them in their own homes or group of flats._
_We know that this will really bless the people we house and is an important part of helping them to feel remembered and cared for at this challenging time of year.”_
We had planned a different Christmas Family Service, booking a popular Christian entertainer and illusionist. We felt that would be a nice way to end the year. However, with about 2 weeks to go, he had to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances. This left us with a challenge! We managed to pull together a team of great volunteers from within the
3
church, all taking responsibility for one part of the service, and we ended up with a very “Jubilee feel” Christmas family service which was a lot of fun.
We had also arranged to sing Carols at the Derbion Shopping Centre in the City one Saturday before Christmas and invite people to our Carol Service. However, COVID rules got in the way and sadly this didn’t go ahead. We are hoping that we may be able to do this next year.
## **LoveDerby**
During the COVID lockdown, we began to feel stirred about coming out of lockdown differently to the way we went in. We felt that maybe we could do something which would become part of the DNA of Jubilee and be a way in which we could serve the city. Elders started the conversation in early summer 2021 and the idea quickly gained momentum, with a meeting with key stakeholders in the church before the summer break. We decided to devote a number of Sundays each year to a LoveDerby initiative. This would be a time when instead of gathering at QUAD for worship, we would gather in different locations around the city to serve, love, bless, reach and demonstrate God’s love in really practical ways. We brought someone onto our staff team one day per week to co-ordinate and lead this through.
The first LoveDerby Sunday was in November, and we had teams out in the city doing things such as a litter “pick ’n’ pray”, a garden clearance, and more. This is something we plan to see as a regular feature of church life in this next season, and 4 Sundays are planned for 2022 plus an additional couple of Saturday mornings.
Whilst our Smile project has not been running as a stand-alone project, we hope to incorporate this into LoveDerby events as a way to continue to serve the families connected with Smile.
## **LifeGroups**
Group life was challenging again this year with restrictions and guidance often changing, together with some people happier than others with meeting in-person. We are very grateful to our LifeGroup leaders for their hard work and dedication in serving their groups and caring for people.
## **Outreach**
Much of our outreach during the year was online as we encouraged people to connect with our online services and events. As we began to meet together in-person once again, we found people would connect with us online first, and then come in-person.
## **Meeting practical needs & giving**
As in the previous year, LifeGroups did an excellent job of meeting practical needs faced by members of the groups all throughout the pandemic. In addition to this, we gave to other individuals in need as and when required.
## **Church planting – Burton**
Our church plant in Burton obviously faced similar challenges to the ones we faced in Derby. However, due to their smaller size and available resources, they did not have the capacity to run an online Sunday meeting. Therefore, they joined with Derby throughout the pandemic. They moved their small groups online and started regular online prayer meetings as well as some online socials. They joined us for Jubilee Outdoors and re-started their own meetings during the Autumn term. It has not been easy for them to re-start Sunday gatherings as some people have moved on. We are looking at how we can support them from Derby in continuing to reach Burton. Whilst Sundays are sometimes difficult for them, they do have fantastic links into the community and are exploring a couple of social action projects in the Winshill area of Burton.
The finance and governance of Burton Family Church is overseen by the Jubilee Trustees, and they continue to operate out of our Trust. Discussions are ongoing as to when the right time might be for them to launch as their own legal entity.

## **Leadership, staff and training**
Elders’ meetings were another meeting that moved online during the pandemic, but we were very glad to begin in-person elders meetings once again. During the summer, Elders had 24-hours away together in order to spend time together and to pray for one another and the church. It was only when we had done this, we realised how much we had missed it!
Staff wise, John Batten stepped down from a staff role at the end of May 2021. He continued serving as an elder throughout this financial year. We are very grateful for the time that John gave to the church in a staff capacity and will miss his input in both Derby and Burton.
We were pleased to bring Fiona Fraser onto our staff team one day per week from September 2021 to oversee and coordinate our LoveDerby initiative. She has been a great addition to our staff team.
One of our Trustees, Laura Adcock stepped down as a Trustee at the end of the financial year due to a change in personal circumstances. We are very grateful for the time that she gave to this role over a number of years and will miss her contribution. Elders and Trustees are currently looking to replace her in due course.
## **ChristCentral/Newfrontiers**
Jubilee is a ChristCentral Church, which is part of the wider Newfrontiers family of churches. Our Lead Elder continues to serve on the ChristCentral Apostolic Team and as a Director of ChristCentral Churches Worldwide Ltd. Our Operations Manager also continues to support ChristCentral by managing communications and marketing, taking responsibility for the website, social media and email communications.
Again, ChristCentral gatherings started to reconvene in-person during this year, and leaders from around the churches were thrilled at the opportunity to gather together in-person once again.
We have gratefully received a grant from ChristCentral Churches towards the time given to ChristCentral by our staff team for administrative and communications support.
## **Finances**
As always, careful financial monitoring continued throughout the year and the Elders and Trustees received regular reports on cash flow as well as income & expenditure. Our finance software automatically sends out these reports on a monthly basis.
We continued to save money on a monthly basis towards future expenditure in the areas of IT equipment, production (PA) equipment and website development.
The Burton church plant continued to operate out of a separate Designated Fund to enable careful monitoring of income and expenditure in Burton.
Total income for both Derby and Burton for the year was £168,800 against a combined expenditure of £146,500.
The Elders and Trustees are very grateful for the regular, generous and committed financial support shown to the church by members. The Gift Aid scheme has been well used once again this year, and the charity has recovered £13,600 in Gift Aid payments in the year.
The Trustees have agreed a reserves policy of keeping 2 months operational costs in unrestricted general funds (approximately £23,000), with a goal of having 3 months operational costs in reserve. We are pleased to report that we are compliant with our policy.
We are able to report a balance of all funds going into the new financial year of £128,400. This is a mix of general (unrestricted) money, designated and restricted funds.

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
## **Conclusion**
The Elders and Trustees are of the opinion that the charity is in good financial shape and in a position to anticipate continued growth during the coming year.
