**Church Annual Summary 2023-2024 (1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024)** 

Transforming lives, community and culture 

One church across two sites – Canterbury and Faversham 



## **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: - 

- **Hope into Action** – This new partnership is underway and enabling us to re-purpose 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 rick 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 per 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 weekly 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 monthly community coffee morning to welcome the elderly, those with young children and others who are not working to meet to get to know one another and help 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, and a local Baby Ballet group. There are other regular users, such as the local community groups including the Pilgrims Way Allotment Committee. The hall is also used regularly as a polling station for the local community. 

## **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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Barton Church Canterbury (the Company)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year
ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basisof report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law)
you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act,).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under
Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my
examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011
('the 2011 Act,). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a
body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confim that l am qualified to undertake the
examination because l am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and
Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confimi that no matters have cA)me to my attention in
connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of
the 2006 AGt- or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records: or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act
other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter
considered as part of an independent examination: or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the
Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable
to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in this report in order to onablg a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
