In 2U23. the PCC restructured the staff team to consolidate the Youth and Student
ministry into a single staff role. Thi5 involved making the Youth, Pastor role redundoJnt
ond recruiting a more senior role as a replacement. It proved difficult to recruit a
suitable candidate for this role despite several rounds of recruitment and in May 2024,
the PCC agrccd to open recruitment for a more junior role of Youth & Young Adult
Pastor. This role was filled in Septpmber 2024 and is having a positive impact in these
two important areas of church life. Similorly, oui Worskiip Postor began oidination
training in September 2023 and the PCC sought to recruit a replacement Worship and
Creotive Pastor also at o more junior level. This role wos filled in t)ecember vwth the
iriter.,tion to develop these staff members as the church grows. Volunteers continue to
play a cruciol role part in the running of St Mott's. Our team includes some 'Super
Volunteers who play a key part in the delivery of our groups, maintenance of our
buildings and through our Leadership Development Programme.
Works to construct an extension on the church to house six toilets and o small break-
out room hove continued throughout the year. The project has faced 8ignificont
clelays caused by weather ond moterial shortoges. We anticipale Ihat this work will be
completed by Eoster 2025.

Wnr.£hip and Proyer
The largest gothering of people ot Sl NAatt's continue to be our services of worship,
encourogement and prayer on Sundays. There have been three weekly services held
throughout the year including..
A midweek troditional Eucharist," and
Two contemporary and accessible Sunday seNices at10am and 6pm.
Collectively these services attroct up to 400 worshippers each vieek, including over 60
children. Services are supported by a voriety of volunteer teams including cafe,
hosting, kids, worship ono production and overseen by employed rTiembers of stoff.
These teams offer opportunities to serve the wider work of the church ond encourage
hands-on engagement in our worship and mission.

reJponae to strategic analysis by our staff team, we restructured groups to make them
more gooily acceeeible in 2023. At pretrent there arc12 group- mocting fortnightly
across Exeter and beyond. These groups are led by trained volunteers who organise,
tooch and pastor their attendeeg. Groups provide the environment for deep, long-
lofting ro.latinnghips nnrl support for pastoral needs. They create opportunitieg fnr
spiritual growth and seek to find ways they con impact their local communities. We
aciively encouroge groups to play their part In the transformation 01 their locality.
Equiypiiig tlig Cl IUILII
st Mott's seeks to be o church that equips every member to influence the world around
them. Our intention is to deploy equipped and motivated Christians into a variety of
cJreos, supported by the church to reduce poverty and isolation and transform society
in Exeter. We also continue to support and encourage members of our community to
play an active role in outreach and social action through partner organisations. Th&ge
have Inclucled organisations supporting those leaving the care system, adoption,
fostering ond homeSess feeding progrommes.
Over the last year, we have continued to offer, River Café, a women only space where
women on probation can come and meet their Proootion Officers and Support
Vvorkers. The vision for River Café is to create a welcoming spoce where the women
who come feel seen, valucd and respected.

Children gnd YoLJriq Pgupl
St hAatt's is an intentionally multigenerational church with an emphaoio upon rcaching
those groups who are least likely to ottend church. Namely, families with young
children, students and your)g adults. St Matt's designotion as a Diocesan Resource
Church places special emphasis upon er)goging children, fomilies ond university
students and these continue to be top priorities for St Matt's. Despite the lack of a
dp.£ignated Student or Youth Pastor for much of 2024, we continued to offer these
groups and events. The student ministry is now attended by around 30 students.
Having now appointed o Youth and Young Adult Pastor we expect to see these
ministries grow as they remains an under-reached areo of the citys demography.
A crucial areo of engagement with children and young people is at our Sunday
services. Our Sundoy Kids groups regularly attract over 60 children and their parents
and are led and focilitoted by a volunteer team in the church holl. In addition there ore
Sunday groups for11-14 year olds and groups for young people ogpd 15-18.

The PCC has opproved o budget for ?0?5 with a deficit of £37,000. This deficit is
predominantly due to the PCC approaching the end of our SDF funding. We are now
funding all staff and operational costs. There is still some SDF funding remaining to be
spent solely on Ihe buildings. The PCC was willing to approve o deficit budget as
expenditure will be reviewed throughout the yeor agoinst projected and actual
income aiid spending can be reduced if deemed necessary. The PCC have also been
an.ticipating this need to bridge the gop between SDF funding and ongoing financial
sustainability ond as such, have reserves available to cover the deficit if necessary.
