Governance
Trinity Church Scarborough is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We currently have five trustees, two of whom are employees of the charity. Trustees have the power to appoint new trustees. The trustees met three times this year via video call.
Objects of the charity
Trinity Church Scarborough exists to advance the Christian Faith in accordance with its Basis of Faith, primarily, but not exclusively, within Scarborough and the surrounding neighbourhood; and other charitable purposes that, in the opinion of the charity trustees, put into practice the Christian faith. Trinity Church Scarborough launched on 14th May 2017. It’s Sunday and midweek meetings are open to the public and have been attended by hundreds of people over the course of this current period.
Achievements and performance for the year May 24 to April 25
As another year ends for Trinity, we look back with considerable gratefulness to God and pleasure that our numbers continue to grow to the extent that we have had to buy more chairs. A normal Sunday service sees more than 240 adults and children attending – in addition to our live streaming options. Our viewers range from all parts of the UK. This growth has continued throughout the year and, in the autumn, a working party from across the church was established to look at the possibility of launching two services in the late summer of 2025. We sought wisdom from other churches who had made the jump to two services. Representatives of Trinity visited Christ Church Endcliffe in Sheffield and returned with considerable information.
Our weekday children’s activities (Babysongs and Playsongs) continue to be exceedingly popular, and attendance is very high. As a consequence, we have recruited a Children’s Ministry Assistant.
Last year we mentioned that it was our intention to employ an Integration Minister, and we are pleased to report that that position has been implemented with considerable success. Having someone who is looking out for new church attendees and helping them to settle in, as well as being actively involved with allocating places at various Life Groups has been extremely successful. All our Life Group leaders are required to attend Trinity’s own in-house Leaders Training and in the Spring of 2025 two more candidates went through that training with view to starting new groups for the 2025-2026 year.
The Men’s Thursday Morning Bible Study is now more popular than ever. Similarly, the Women’s Bible Study meets weekly on a Tuesday and more than 30 ladies attend. In addition, we have introduced a Men’s Breakfast. This meets frequently and each time a guest speaker is invited. This is growing and plans are afoot to develop this men’s ministry in 2025-2026.
Perhaps the most encouraging aspect to report is in relation to our youth ministry. In September 2024 we engaged a full time Youth Minister as the growth in the youth area had been above all expectations. The person leading that team as a volunteer accepted an offer to join the Trinity Leadership Team full time. Part of her role includes dedicated theological study time. We are very grateful to numerous external grant funding organisations who have support us in this exciting initiative.
Financial review
From the above script you will understand why our payroll costs are a little higher than in previous years but this we see is God’s will for us to grow the ministry of the church and our engagement with our community.
Cashflow remains a constant challenge for the church – though we are encouraged by the growth in numbers and the subsequent increase in donation revenue. However, costs have continued to rise and therefore our management of our limited funds remains a priority.
We have seen considerable growth in our cash situation as compared to previous years and are hopeful that this will continue in 2025 and beyond.
The trustees are grateful for the enormous work carried out by our church treasurer, Tony Graham.
