Barton Church, Canterbury

Trustees Annual Report

Year ending 31[st] March 2024

The trustees have pleasure in presenting the final report and audited financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.

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: Peter Oyugi, Oliver Power, Andrew Townsend and Bug Price.

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, Global Mission Team, Local Mission Teams, 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 approximately 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 meeting 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: a 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, , NCT, dance classes, polling station and activities with other organisations and community groups) at an affordable rate for the local community.

Achievements and Performance

Advancement of the Christian Faith

The Church has held a number of events 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. Easter Celebrations and Family Services.

We have also run other activities that enable us to develop friendship links with people outside the church, such as our weekly 5-a-side football evenings, which provide an opportunity for community for men. 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 also beginning to partner with Hope into Action, that seek 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 a consistent number of attenders on Sundays, around 140-180 in Canterbury and in Faversham 30-40 people. The membership this year has remained at approximately 150 adults across the two sites. Our sermons are video recorded and made available online for those unable to attend. We continue to provide additional 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. We have now been holding services in Canterbury College for over twelve 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 now held at a new venue, Bysing Wood Primary School as our previous location had caused some logistical problems. The new venue has proven to be much more suitable for our needs.

Similar 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 divided and lacking the resources to provide care due to the stretched public services. Much of the church community care is organic, behind the scenes and through 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: -

support and this provides a good opportunity for follow up alongside the Job Club.

Financial Review

See attached report: Church Accounts for 1 April 2023– 31 March 2024 and Audit Certificate.

Investment policy

The church has no desire to maintain investments for the purpose of income generation but it owns a property that has been re-purposed for our new Hope into Action project. Over this last year we have been working with the council and local charities to identify an appropriate referral to become our first tenants for this project. The house has been vacant and final preparations have been made for our first tenant family.

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.
