Annual Report
July 2020 - June 2021
Object:
The advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public, including through the provision of public worship, outreach events and missional projects.
The Trustees have been meeting regularly, to maintain an overview of the strategic direction, with the organisational elements delegated to team meetings and individuals with identified responsibilities to be overseen as appropriate.
Worship Gatherings and Small Groups
Jazz Community Church has continued to gather for on zoom most Sunday afternoons due to the COVID pandemic with occasional live-streamed services on Facebook and YouTube. The predominantly online presence has enabled connection with new people who are geographically further afield. This has resulted in a number of recent new members. The small groups have provided good support for people during a difficult year.
Methodist District support
Jazz Community Church continues to operate a partnership with the Birmingham Methodist District as a District Project. This means that support from the district for matters such as safeguarding, HR advice, support for our pastor, access to resources and training opportunities. This is a supportive link rather than a restrictive arrangement. This year we have benefited from some time from a Pioneer Intern in a District role. He has been a really good asset to the team leading a small group, contributing to the worshipping life of the church and generally being around.
We continue to have a formal agreement with Cambridge Road Methodist Church to use their premises for our gatherings and they have allowed us to have an internet connection installed at the church for our use. They also provide storage space on site. We do not pay regular rent but give donations (e.g. the internet connection).
Finance
We review our financial position at each trustees meeting. Full details can be found in the attached financial report.

Outreach Events
Due to the pandemic all outreach activities have taken place in an online context. These included a highly successful Jazz Carols Live Stream service and a similar event at Easter.
Future Steps and Revisioning
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a large-scale revisioning process led by Paul Douglas, chair of the Trustees and Adam Sanders, Pastor. A new vision focused around creativity and worship has been discerned and consulted on. This new vision has three primary areas of work, the church, a resourcing arm and a community of pilgrims. An evolving version of the new vision will go to the AGM with the details continuing to be worked through.
