**Church Annual Summary 2022-2023 (1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023)** 

Transforming lives, community and culture 

One church across two sites – Canterbury and Faversham 



## **Barton Church, Canterbury** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

## **Year ending 31[st] March 2023** 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting the final report and audited financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2023 

## **Reference and administrative details** 

Registered charity name Barton Church, Canterbury Charity registration number 1173748 Office 32 Barton Road Canterbury Kent CT1 1YQ 

## **The Trustees** 

The trustees who served the Church during the period were: Timothy Jenkins, Oliver Power and Peter Oyugi, and Stuart Trimmer. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Barton Church, Canterbury, was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 10[th] July 2017. It is governed by a team of Elders, who are the managing trustees of the organisation. Pastors are appointed as Elders and receive compensation as an employee of the CIO under a contract of employment. There was one paid Pastor, Rev. O. Power, during the reporting period. 

There is a paid staff team, supplemented by volunteers, and they are responsible for the management of the day-to-day life of the Church. There are various strategic Teams staffed by staff and a number of volunteers. They comprise Office Team, Kids Team, Youth Team, Welcome Team, Set Up/Pack Down Team, Worship Team, Prayer Team, Outreach Team, Technical Team, International Mission Team, Local Mission Team, Pastoral Team, Finance Team. 

Non-paid Elders are appointed as managing trustees to serve for a term of 3 years which may be followed by a further term of 3 years. Non-paid Elders will normally serve a maximum of two 3-year terms followed by a break of at least one year before they can be nominated for further service as an Elder. 

The Faversham site is well established and no longer reliant on the Canterbury site. Staff served across both sites and the congregations gather 4 times a year for combined services (Christmas, Easter, start and end of the Summer). A long term aim is the consideration of a third site once both sites have grown numerically and leaders have been developed. 



## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objective of Barton Church, Canterbury is the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith primarily, but not exclusively, within Kent and the surrounding neighbourhood; and such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the associate members of the Church in general meetings and the Trustees, further the work of the Church. The main activities of Barton Church, Canterbury are, to see lives, communities and culture transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

It provides opportunities for Christian Ministry and Worship whilst contributing to the community in a number of ways. The latter is evidenced by the various meetings and activities organised by the Church. These include: Parent and Toddler groups, various age youth groups (some as joint ventures with other Churches), Senior Citizen meetings, other Community groups for the local Barton neighbourhood, as well as a number of midweek Life Groups. 

Furthermore, the church is pleased to make its Canterbury premises available for community activities (such as birthday parties, WI, a choir, NCT, dance classes, polling station and activities with other organisations and community groups) at an affordable rate. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Advancement of the Christian Faith** 

The Church has held a number of events to which those in the local community have been invited to attend. These include well-attended Christmas Services, as well as a number of other special services and events which are designed specifically for inviting friends. e.g. Family Fun Days, Easter Celebrations and Family Services. 

We have also run other activities that enable us to develop friendship links with people outside the church. The 5-a-side football team has continued to go from strength to strength and has developed into an 11-a-side team playing in East Kent Churches football league 

We have continued our commitment to other activities that build links to the community alongside other Churches and supporting Para-church charities such as: Time Out, which works with disadvantaged and vulnerable people in Canterbury; Street Pastors, that seeks to help the vulnerable during the night-time economy and are also beginning to partner with Hope into Action, that seeks to provide housing for the homeless. Our student team has continued to support the Christian Unions at the universities and the Global Café for international students. We have helped to lead Hope Faversham Youth as an inter-church youth club. We have volunteer involvement in a number of local Christian organisations, including the Canterbury Christian Schools Work Trust and Faversham Foodbank. 

The Church has been growing numerically on Sundays, with a stable membership 



this year of approximately 150 across the two sites. On average in Canterbury our morning congregation is now 120-150 people, in Faversham 30-40 people. The livestream has been used for those connecting from home still following the COVID-19 pandemic, however this was phased out during 2022. We continue to provide an online content for discipleship and outreach, which reaches a wider range of people beyond our immediate congregation. 

Our support for outreach in the wider church continues, including support for mission partners in Romania, Kenya, Spain, the Middle East and India. 

## **Helping individuals to grow in their faith** 

The preaching on Sunday mornings in Canterbury and Sunday afternoon at Faversham continues to prove popular and challenging, and congregations are stable. We have now been holding services in Canterbury College for over ten years, which has been an accessible location for our morning worship. Using the college facilities has continued to provide many opportunities for involvement by a wider range of people and has particularly made it easier for the worship leaders and bands to lead worship more freely. 

In Faversham, services are held at West Faversham Community Centre, now for 5 years. This has been a good location although we have less opportunity to make additional bookings to serve the local community due to lack of availability and cost. 

Identical Sunday services are held at the two sites with the same preacher, and service content, although service leaders, music bands and children’s and youth activities are led from the congregations attending the site. 

In addition, we have continued to produce teaching and training courses including: Parenting, Apologetics, Christianity Explored and Foundations discipleship courses. There is a now a well-established series of teaching podcasts which further equip believers in Bible, discipleship and leadership. 

## **Being a Caring Community** 

A number of the matters mentioned above have related to the theme of community. This is increasingly a theme of the church as we want to work out community life in a world that is increasingly splintered and uncaring. Much of this is unsung and a matter of building personal relationships. There are a number of things that we do to foster a sense of the caring Community that we aspire to be. 

## **Service to the Community** 

The following activities are examples of how the church works to serve the community: - 

- **Hope into Action** – This new partnership is underway and enabling us to repurpose our church house to enable the homeless to be housed. It will provide a chance for church members to provide friendship and support as well as for us to provide affordable housing for those at risk of homelessness. 



- **Street Pastors** – A joint church, country wide initiative providing support to various people during the city’s night time economy. Members of the church along with others patrol the city centre streets on a Saturday night up until 3.00am, providing assistance to those who need it. Members of the church are also on the local Street Pastors steering committee 

- **Mentoring** – The church provides volunteers to work with Canterbury Christian Schools Work Trust to provide mentoring for teenagers within secondary schools in Canterbury 

- **Time Out** – A city-wide community initiative providing support and training to the disadvantaged in the Spring Lane area of Canterbury. Volunteers from our church run Route 23 which is a community pop-up coffee shop once a week. Volunteers from our church also run a weekly lunch club for the elderly and local residents. 

- **Computer Club** – This is an initiative we run on a weekday morning to offer assistance to any in the community that have low computer literacy skills. A team of people offer support and this provides a good opportunity for follow-up alongside the Job Club. 

- **Community Café** – We have been running a monthly community coffee morning to welcome the elderly, those with young children and others who are not working to socialise and overcome isolation. This is a chance to learn a craft, discuss current topics and hear something of the hope of faith in Jesus. 

- **Hope Faversham Youth** – We work with other churches in Faversham to disciple and reach out to Christian young people in the town. This is a positive partnership across different churches and a good witness to the town. 

- **Hall** – Each week the Canterbury Church Hall is hired to a Dance Group, NCT, a choir, a tuition class, and a local Baby Ballet group. There are other regular users, such as the local W.I., The Liberal Democrats, a Chess Club and various children's musical groups. The hall is also used regularly as a polling station for the local community. 

## **Financial Review** 

See attached report: Church Accounts for 1 April 2022– 31 March 2023 and Audit Certificate 

## **Investment policy** 

The church has no intention to maintain investments for the purpose of income generation but it owns a property that is being re-purposed for our new Hope into Action project. 

Over this last year we have had a house-sitter caring for the property until we are able to launch the Hope into Action project. 



## **Responsibility of the Trustees** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the accounts, which are produced by the treasurer. The trustees consider that an independent audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)). The accounts will be checked internally. 

## **Serious Incidents** 

There were no reportable serious incidents during the period.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are nol required to be audited under
Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my

the 2006 Act: or
2. the accounts do not acxxwd with those records: or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act
