Introduction
Our vision al St John's is to be a family that invites people lo explore Christian faith, equips followers of
Jesus and transforms our area in Jesus. name. In late 2024 we aimed to lurn our monthly pram service into
a weekly toddler group. start running Alpha again after five years. and tum our twice a month family service
into a weekly contemporary service.
In January 2025 we stepped out in faith lo make each of them happen. Lucy Simpsonjoined Ihe staff team
as children's and families lead in early 2025. She gathered a team to launch Little Ones, the weekly toddler
group. It quickly grew. To dale they have had over 300 individuals come and experience Little Ones, with
around 60 attending weekly. Each session consists of activity stations. cafe. then gathering for songs. Bible
story and a prayer.
Alpha was launched with two groups in January on Wednesday evenings.11 was again wn in September on
Monday mornings. with groups. including from Little Ones. Gina Venton and a number of other
volunteers ran Youth Alpha during the contemporary Se￿iCe in the summer lemi.
The contemporary setvice was launched at 11=15am in late January with the aim of creating a worship
service that people who prefer a contemporary slyle can worship in and grow - particularly drawing a
younger demographic. Lucy gathered a team to run the weekly kids group. which has grown to around 25
hildren weekly. Al the beginning we had volunteer worship leaders helping us out. Due lo a generous grant
we were able to advertise for a worship leader in the summer. and in September we appointed Luke Stanley
as the worship leader.
Our well established 9'.30am service moved to 9=15am in September, enabling the 11'.15am service lo move
to 10'.45am. The 9=15am service has continued to draw in new people and grow in community through the
established home groups and a number attending Alpha. The Thursday 11am Book of Common Prayer
IBCPI communion service has grown slighlly. serving those later on in life. Friendships are deepened there
through a monthly soup and roll lunch. The 8am BCP service has remained a close and small community
meeting twice a month.
Invite
Easter was an exciting time with both the usual seNices and some new initiatives. St John's ran a stall at the
Easter Eggstravaganza on Grange Park which connected vrith many of the families that were there. with
many invited to the Easter day service. On Easter day after a packed service we baplized James {who had
done Alpha} in Jeff and Miriam Lod(e's swimming pool.
In September we had a visit from Rev Warren Furman, aka Ace from Gladialors. We took him into 3 local
primary schools where he shared his story with over a Ihousand children. He spoke al a men's curry
evening, and then shared his story at the 9..15 & 10-45am services.
Over Chrislmas we welcomed many guests lo our services. We tried doing the Chrislingle on a Friday
afternoon, which was a great success wilh chrislingle making. biscuit decorating. crafts, alpine cafe, face
painting, and a beautiful service. 11 grew over 1 OOYO lo 211 guests. Carol seNice - Eileen Poore led the choir
wonderfully, and we had a beautiful harp solo by Sioned Bowen. Lucy organised a children's choir for the
carol seNice. One ofthe guests said'there wasn't a dry eye in the loom.. We had 222 guests. a 400/0
increase on last year. Crib service - Lucy trialled a new foTmat, getting 30 children from the church involved
in it. It grew by 20 /0 to 370 guests. The midnight communion and Christmas day seNice had similar
attendance to last year. and were special services.
Equip
As a result of Alpha, four people were confirmed in October. In November we had a guest speaker Professor
John Wyatt come and speak on Science and Faith at the 10=453m service, and then he gave a seminar in
the aflern¢Jon on 'The Lasl Lap, helping us think chrislianly about retirement and the end of life.

Spire
In November we celebrated the completion of the Work on the spire. 11 was a joyful celebration to mark all the
hard work that had gone on in the fundraising work thal enabled the reroofing of the spire.
Thank you to all of you for the way you pray, serve and give at St John's. There are around 80 people
volunteering in various ways at St John's- a huge number! l am so encouraged by what God has done in
and through you in 2025.
Financial Review
During 2025, the PCC has been able lo meet ils financial responsibilities and obligations. The General
Fund's balance, taking account of the impact of fixed assets. stood at £20.462 at year end {2024: £13,913).
Until recent years. this fund has been in deficit with fluctualions depending on repairs necessary lo the Grade
1 listed hisloric building.
The PCC. having examined anlicipaled income and expenditure for 2025. made the decision to increase
their Parish Pledge to the Diocese in 2026 in the sum of £93,514.
Unrestricted income during the year totalled £205,073 (2024= £177.9181. General Fund income tolalled

£90,79012024= £87,720) was paid lo the diocese as our Parish Pledge to support churches within the
diocese, a large proportion of which represenls the costs of ministry to our church. Main expenditure
included £6.138 {2024.. £6,083) for insurance of the Church. church general maintenance works in the sum
of £9,982 (2024.. £5.6951 and £16.323 (2024.. £19.638) church heating and lighting costs. Expenditure from

Listed Places of Worship VAT recovery scheme.
The church owned property on Waddington Avenue continues to be let on a temporary basis whilst not
required for a curate, with the balance from the ienl received. after repairs and maintenance, available to
support the work of Sl John's.
The PCC is committed to maintaining Ihe General Fund balance over coming years, and as adequate
reserves are held in unrestricted funds. St John's Church can be considered as a going concern.
Reserves Policy
The ReseNes Policy was reviewed in 2025, when the PCC agreed to hold cash reserves of £16,000 {2024..
£12,000) within the General Fund and the unrestricted part of the FabriclReseNe fund. This amourht is
calculated on the basis of 2 month's running and upkeep costs of the church {excluding the parish share)
and three month's salary costs {including an allowance in the unlikely event of redundancies being
necessary}. The policy is due for review in 2026.
At year end, cash reserves held in the General Fund and unreslricted part of the FabrirJReseNe Fund
lotalled £57,361 {2024.. £50,812), £41.36112024= £38.812) above the reserve5 threshold sel in the policy.
At year end. following refurbishment of Ihe spire. the restricted element of the FabriclReserve Fund had a
deficit of £47,74412024: surplus of £78,219). We are awaiting a grant application decision. due in March
2026 and the PCC will then discuss the rectification of 8 deficit-. the designated Major Repairs Fund stood at

St John the Evangelist Church. Coulsdon
Registered Charity 1164688
I report on the accounts for the year ending 31 De￿mber 2025 set out on pages 8 - 16
Respe¢tiv¢ responsibilitl¢s of trustees and examlner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Irustees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 {"the Charities Act") and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is rlly responsibility lo..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section
145151{bl of the Charities Act, and
to slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of indop¢ndfrnt examiner's statemgnt
My examination was carried out in accordance wilh general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts
and seeking explanations from the trustees conceming any such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limiled to those matters sel out in the statement
below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination. no material matters have come to my attention whl¢h glves me
cause to believe that in. any material respect=
1. the accounting records were not kepl in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act., or
2. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records- or
3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements Con￿rning the form and conlenl of accounts
set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the
accounts give a 'true and fair, view which is not a maller considered as part of an independent
examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be
drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts lo be reached.
