**OPEN DOOR CHURCH (ST NEOTS) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ ST ] MARCH 2022** 


## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT)** 

The trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law, present herewith their annual report, together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the Accounts and comply with the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charities Act 2011, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019 (FRS 102). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Open Door Church (St Neots) hereinafter referred to as The Open Door Church (or abbreviated as ODC) is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee. The Memorandum and Articles of Association were approved in May 2016 and the company was incorporated on 11[ th ] June 2016. The  Open Door Church, St Neots was previously a charitable trust (charity reg. no. 1044102) which was registered in December 1994, all assets from the trust were transferred to the company on 1[ st ] April 2017. 

The Memorandum and Articles of Association define the charitable objective as: For the public benefit, the advancement of the Christian religion in St Neots, Cambridgeshire and district and such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees may from time to time decide. 

Trustees are elected by the Elders of the Church, and details of those people who were trustees at the date of this report and at any time during the period covered by this report are given on page 1. The Trustees meet at least annually to review church governance and finances and to agree the budget for the year including staff salaries and pension contributions. All major financial agreements are agreed and approved by the Trustees. 

The Elders are responsible for the outworking of the budget and for day-to-day operation of the charitable activities. 

The Church operates in association with New Frontiers and the Catalyst Network of Churches. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The charity trustees have exercised their powers with due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission to promote the charity's Objectives through our main activities, which are described in detail in the Review of Activities below. Our work through the St Neots Foodbank, hardship fund,  kids work and other community activities are all to the public benefit. 

## **SUMMARY FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES** 

Income of £ 233,290 has been received during the year (2021 - £254,388) and the net assets have increased to £498,087  (2021 - £496,851). 

Our reserves policy is to provide at least 3 months of  discretionary expenditure against a decline in income unless there are foreseen exceptional  expenditures in the future budget. 

Open Door Church

**OPEN DOOR CHURCH (ST NEOTS) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ ST ] MARCH 2022** 


We are currently holding 4.7 months of free reserves with a potential major expense on premises in the near horizon. 

In the event of reserves exceeding anticipated expenditures by more than 6 months, the trustees will designate any excess to grow our building fund further. 

## **RESTRICTED FUNDS** 

The following funds are restricted and not for use in general expenditure. 

Giles – The charity has been supporting Graham and Sarah Giles in their work in Zimbabwe by way of financial contribution for a number of years, we also administer the gathering of donations and gift aid specifically given for this work. 

Building Fund – We are working towards the goal of purchasing our own building to use for all of our activities (see the Review of Activities). Gifts have therefore been given whose sole intent is to provide funding for a building and related costs of purchase and refitting and these funds have been separated from our general giving. 

COVID Hardship Fund - a fund created in 2020 to support those in financial hardship due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 

## **DESIGNATED FUNDS** 

The trustees have decided that £60,000 of general reserves will be designated to the Building Fund as we continue to build towards the goal of owning our own property. 

## **ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **THE CHURCH COMES BACK TOGETHER** 

This time last year, as we continued to live through the Coronavirus pandemic, we were making plans to bring the church family back together in person and that is exactly what we have done. Many were ready to gather together as soon as possible, others have made their way back over the year, a few are not yet back in person but still actively connecting online and we celebrate that a very small number of people have drifted away from the church altogether. 

Initially we borrowed a covid prevention slogan to help bring fresh focus in the new season: **HANDS** - we began to reconnect in person on some Sundays  at the Priory Centre and restarted physical Youth and Kids activities. In the summer we met on other weeks for picnics in the park. **FACE** - we emphasised the personal responsibility of  living as a disciple of Jesus, fixing our gaze on him as we follow him. We particularly encouraged people to work this out through being part of a small group and we met on some Sunday evenings for training in living out teaching from the Bible. 

**SPACE** - one of the things we most missed during lockdown  was coming together in worship. We began to meet for worship nights at St Mary’s Eaton Socon, even though initially we couldn’t sing and then we sang from behind our masks. We also began our weeks of prayer - times to slow down and deliberately be with God, calling out to him for his presence and power in all we do. **FRESH AIR** - we recognised the pandemic had caused  us to be more present with neighbours and the local community and we were keen not to lose this. We chose to meet less and leave room to reconnect with friends within church, but also to develop relationships with those outside of us. 

By now we had become used to reviewing our activities and adapting to changing guidelines and circumstances throughout the year. It has been a joy to start seeing one another again and we are extremely pleased with the way the church has held together and responded so positively.

**OPEN DOOR CHURCH (ST NEOTS) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ ST ] MARCH 2022** 


## **A NEW PATTERN FOR MORE THAN PRACTICAL REASONS** 

As the year went on, we realised that some of the decisions we had initially made for practical reasons were beginning to bring benefit across the church. By not meeting in ‘the old way’ on every Sunday morning, we were getting to do other things that we had previously not had time for and these were starting to bear fruit. When we did meet together, we were more focussed on a clear purpose, tailoring our different activities for specific reasons. We also found the level of connection with others in the community was increasing. 

As our core team continued to review how things were going, we agreed to give this new way of meeting more time and to shape the new pattern to make it more predictable and memorable. We also emphasised to people whenever we could, that we were now meeting every Sunday in person and also with an online option every week too. We continue with 3 main ways we meet on Sunday: 

TOGETHER - At the Priory Centre in the morning on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of a month, with all ages together. Here we have worship, preaching, prayer and more. This is accompanied with a pre-recorded version of the meeting for those joining us online. 

EQUIP - In the evening on the 2nd Sunday, we have Bible discussion, prayer and activation, in person at the Opendoor Centre and with others joining in live online. This is an opportunity to read the Bible together, discuss how it applies to our lives and pray together in small groups. ENCOUNTER - In the evening on the 4th Sunday, we have an extended time of worship with prayer and Holy Spirit ministry at St Mary’s, Eaton Socon, also streamed live online with people joining in from home. 

In addition, there are youth and kids activities earlier in the day on Sundays where we meet together in the evening. Some small groups also use this time to reach out to our community. 

Our outreach projects including the part that we play in St Neots Foodbank were also impacted by the pandemic. The Foodbank distribution centre which ran from our church centre remains closed but is expected to re-open during the next financial year. The Foodbank continues to operate through a few distribution centres and with doorstep food drops. 

Our youth and kids' work was impacted greatly by the pandemic and has begun to recover now that we are able to meet physically again. In order to reach the young people of the town we co-fund a part-time Youth for Christ youth worker who works in the schools and through youth cafes. This is already bearing some fruit with new young people coming along to our youth group. 

## **A NEW BUT OLD VISION FOR THE CHURCH** 

For many, the covid pandemic has caused them to re-evaluate what they do. As we’ve reflected on the vision we are heading towards, we’ve been drawn back to the call to be CHURCH AMONG THE PEOPLE. This phrase came from a prophetic word in the very early days of Opendoor, but has now come back to the fore in a fresh way. 

Being **both** Church and Among the People are vital for  us in where we are heading. 

By Church, we mean a community of people, joined together through faith in Jesus, who love one another, follow him as disciples in everyday life and among whom God’s presence lives. 

By Among the People we express our calling to live alongside others in our town and wherever we go, continually reaching out with the love and Good News of Jesus to those who don’t yet know him. 

Open Door Church

**OPEN DOOR CHURCH (ST NEOTS) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ ST ] MARCH 2022** 


In seeking to head towards this vision, we have set ourselves the following strategic goals for 2022: 

## **GOAL 1) GROWING TOGETHER** 

To grow together as disciples of Jesus, loving one another and becoming more like him, evidenced by at least 120 people in small and/or discipleship groups and 100 stories of deeper devotion, personal obedience, loving one another, life change etc. 

## **GOAL 2) MISSION** 

To respond enthusiastically to the call to go and reach those who don’t yet know Jesus, evidenced by at least 100 stories of intentional connection, acts of courage or compassion, faith conversations, etc, with people outside of the church. 

## **GOAL 3) PRAYER** 

That prayer continues to become increasingly central to our church life, evidenced by over 50 people joining in with each of our 3 Prayer Weeks this year. 

## **GOAL 4) LEADERSHIP** 

To strengthen and refresh our senior leadership teams by growing both our Elders and Trustee teams and for 2 of our existing Elders to take sabbaticals. 

## **GOAL 5) PLANNING** 

To develop a medium term plan of how we intend to move forward as Church Among the People over the next 2 to 3 years, including clear and cohesive goals across different ministry areas and consideration of the type of buildings and facilities we will need, enabling a decision to be made on the future of the ODCC. 

We have made a positive start towards these goals and we’re excited about all that God will do in us and through us over the coming year. We are very grateful for the support of those in the church and the willingness to continue to adapt.

## **Fund Accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
