The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Chartty Commission in deciding what
activities the Church should undertake.

Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision. the charitys main actwities and achievements were as

The Church, which had an average membership of 238 and a regular congregation of
approximatety 325, holds a series of weekend and midweek a¢twities. and in addition provides
financial support to other individuals and organisations invofved in Christian mission.
When planning and reviewing the objecttves of the activities the Church has gtven due
consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefft, and particulady the
specific guidance on chartiies for the advancement of religion. In particular, we ty to enable
ordinary people to Itve out their faith as part of our church in their local communities.
The Church 15 committed to serving as a hub church in the Bimiingham area: reaching, teaching.
discipling and training Christians to Cary out Gospel ministry, both in Bimiingham and further
afield.
The Church welcomes members and attenders from all backgrounds with the aim of ensuring that
they do not miss the opportunty to benefft from its ministries. At Christmas we advertise our
sérvices to the local community and all our servi￿$ are intended to be accessible for those who
attend church i￿eguladY or perhaps for the first time. Six times a year, we hold a church lunch after
our moming service which has bèen consistenty attended by 200 or so people.
The ministries of the Church are overseen by its leadership. and arè carried forward both by the
Church staff, and by the extensive involvement of volunteers drawn from Church members and
other regular attendees. This pattem is seen in all areas of the life of the Church including.. leading
of midweek homegroups., the work among students {both from the UK, and from overseas). youth
and children's ministries., and men's and women's work.
Cty Church's children's work includes a Sunday school for children from O to 11 years, which has
up to 60 in attendance in normal times. Kids Friday, a Friday evening children's club and older
counterparts City Youth. all staffed entirely by Cty Church members. provide age-appropriate Bible

teaching and a ￿￿￿e range of games and activities open to all, from year 3 to year 13. The church
ran a holiday club over the Spring half tem), serving many families across the city.

Bimiingham. but also from three other universitie5 in the ctty. The ministry to students includes a
weekly student meeting after the Sunday evening servi￿, an annual weekend away, summer
retreats. regular book-reading groups and one-off socials or seminar evenings. A student
hospitality scheme links individual students with families in the Church. We enjoy a close

students to Vi5tt other parts of the country and enjoy British hospitality.
The church started a Spanish Bible Study. for the benefft of church family from Spanish speaking
backgrounds. This serves members of the church and those from the wider lo¢al community.
The continued use as a Sunday venue of The Octagon at Edgbaston High School for Girls has
proved to be a great asset for the Church and provides sufficient accommodation for future church
grovrth. Use of The Octagon is carried out under the temis of a licence. We have benefftied from
use of the school's swimming pool to baptise several indNiduals from the church family.
The Christmas season was marked by several events. notabty carol singing in the cty ￿ntre
advertising our Christmas services.
The Church continues to benefft from the acquisttion of a church building in Selly Oak for several
midweek activities. The purchase of the building has significanly improved the quality and quantty
of midweek activities and meetings organised and run by the church.
The church continued to run courses and events for those who are interested in finding out more
about the Christian faith, notably Speak Lrfe's 321 course, and a weekly Mums 'stay and play,
group which has attracted a number of parents and their pr&school children from the local area.
Throughout the past year City Church has run regular men and women's breakfasts and other
events for the benefft of the congregation. The church ran The Marriage Course, attended by
several couples in the church as well as some from other thurches.
Cty Church, in conjunction wf(h other churches has continued lo facilitate and promote training and
development opportunrties in particular for leaders of ministries and activitvès in the church.
Examples include The Midlands Women's Convention. Living leadership"Fonnation" conference,
UCCF Student Worker Forum. and a number of more regional COnferen￿S run by Midlands
Gospel Partnership. We have continued to train our rninisty teams wtthin the church throughout.
The church also reconsidered its training pathways, starting to offer Ministy Development
Partnerships with church members wslh the aim ot training and equipping the church for ministy
and mission.

Cty Church has demonstrated in this past year a continuing commitment to the advancement of
the Christian fatth through many of the activities outlines above. The church has also sought to
promote Ihe work of the worfd-wde church. In particular, the church continues lo support a number
of mission partners who have been sent by the church overseas as well as some other established
mission agencies. Each year we enjoy our World Mission Sunday focussing our attention and
putting a spotlight on our partners.

City Church continues to support the pioneering Bimingham Collective for Church Planting
{fomierly 2020 Birmingham) as part of a coalition of Birmingham churches working in partnership
lo facilitate the launch of new churches in the city. We have also worked to create awareness of
the work of Bimiingham City Mission and provided opportunrties for members of the church to give

This enable5 them to be briefed on Trust￿ level issue5 and generally brought up to speed with
both the responsibilities of the Trustees and the business of the church.
The church is govemed by a leadership team ffrustees) comprising the leaders of th8 Church. All
Trustees are elders of the Church. They meet monthly to set policy and review the activities of the
Church. The decisions of the leaders of the Church are subject to the scrutiny of the members of

Significant financial decisions are taken wtth the approval of the members of the Church as
required by the Church's Governing Documents.
Some of the elders are remunerated by the Church for their work. The remuneration of the

Elders and lay members of the church membership and chaired by an Elder. The remuneration
received by elders is approved by vote of the members of the Church on the recommendation of
the Trustees followng their consideration of the findings of the Remuneration Committee. The
Pastors do not participate in the determination of the remuneration they receNe.

Notes - Accounting Policies
Basls of Preparatlon
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan¢e with the Church's goveming document, th8
Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable lo charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ wrth the Finanaal Reporting Standard applicable
in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)" The Church is a Public Benefit Entity
as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in steding, vthich is the fvnctional currency of the Church. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting
policies adopted are set out below.
Golng Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements. the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Church
has adequale resources to continue in operational existen￿ for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Key Risks & Uncertaintles
The Trustees have examined the major strategic and operational risks which Ihe Church faces and confimi
that systems have been established to monrtor those rtsks so that the ne￿$sary steps can be laken to lessen
them.
The key risks are:
Insufficient funds to enable fulfilment of vision of church: addressed by budgeting and control., monthly
financial reporting.. and the Annual GNing Review process that tops up funding levels in response to
needs revealed by Ihe annual budget.
Loss of Sunday facilities: addressed by maintaining a good working relationship with the venue.
Fund Accountlng
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specrfic
purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to spectfic conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The
purposes and uses ofthe restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Incoming Resources
Income is re¢ognised vthen the Church is legally enttlled to It after any perf0mlan￿ conditions have been met,
the amounts can be measured reliabty, and it is probable that income vdill be received.

Voluntary income by way of grants, donations and gnRs is included in full in the Statement of Financial
Activities when receivable. Grants Whe￿ entltlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific
perfomanc8 by the charitable company are recognised when it becomes un¢ondf(ionalty entitled to the grant.
Donated servi￿$ and facilities are included at the value to the charrty where this can be quantified. The value
of services provided by volunteers has not b￿n included in these a¢￿unts.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to perf0mlan￿ and specific deliverables are accounted for as
the charitable company earns the right to considerab.on by its perfo￿Nan￿. Where income is received in
advance of performance it is treated as deferred income and included wthin creditors.
Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liabilty is incurred.
Charitable expendf(ure comprises those cosls incurred by the charitable in the delivery of its activities and
services for its beneficiaries.
All costs are allocated betsyeen the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis
designed to reflect the use of the resource.
Governance Costs
Governance costs include those costs associated wrth meeting the constltutional and statlrtory requirements of
the charitable company and include the fees of the independent examiner and costs linked to the strategic
management of the charrtable company.
Liability Recognlllon
The Church has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and Section 12
'Other Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instrumenls are recognised in the Church's balan¢e sheet vthen the Church becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets artrd liabilities are offset. with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis or to realise the asset and settle the liabilty simultaneousty-
Basic financial assets, which include debtor5 and cash and bank balances, are inrtialty measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are sub5equentty carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. where the transaction is measured
at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as
receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are inFlial￿ recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequentty carried at amortised cos( using the effective inlerest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or servi￿$ that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as CU￿ent liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabiltlies. Trade credtlors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Church's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
Tangible Flxed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are inbtially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment Ios5e5.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings.. Straight line over 50 years
Fixtures and machinery.. Straight line over 5 to 10 years
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is detemiined as the dIffe￿nCe be￿n the sale proceeds
and the carying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Cash and Cash Equfvalents
Cash and cash equivalents indude cash in hand. deposits held at call with banks. other short-tem liquid
investments with original maturtties of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
Penslons
The church meets the r4uirements of pensions auto*nrolment legislation by regulady reviewing its staff
payroll and ensuring that staff a￿ enrolled or re•enrolled as required and appropriate notifications are sent.
The church uses NEST as its autcpenrolment scheme, athough some employees opt out and pay into
personal pension schemes. The church makes an employels contribution of 8¥0 of salary into the pension
schemes with the exception of the ministry trainees for vthom a contribution of 3 % of salary is offered.
Oporatlng Leases
There were no operating leases during the year.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation on its aclivibes because all its income is applied for charrf(able purposes.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estlmation

useful lives.
