| Governing | Document | Document | Crystal Peaks Church (CPC) CIO Constitution and Fellowship Guide —as |
|---|---|---|---|
| adopted by the members ofthe church on 4March 2018. |
|||
| CPC iscommitted tothe historic Christian faith revealed in Holy Scripture |
|||
| and summarised in the CPC Basis of Faith. Our Constitution includes a set of |
|||
| rules which contains details concerning meetings, membership and the |
|||
| appointment ofchurch officers. CPC's Trustees are the persons appointed |
|||
| tothe offices ofPastor, Elder, Deacon, and Treasurer. | |||
| At the end ofDecember 2020, CPC had 23members. | |||
| Governance | The elders ofCPC met formally eight times during 2020, although | ||
| and Management | church matters are under constant informal review Sunday by Sunday. As a |
||
| Congregational Church, major church decisions were subject to majority |
|||
| agreement at the four church review meetings held during the year orat the |
|||
| AGM. Because ofthe size and infancy ofCPC, much ofthe church activity is | |||
| reviewed routinely when members meet together for prayer. |
|||
| The charity Trustees met sixtimes, four electronically and two in person. |
|||
| Risks and Risk | Assessment | ||
| Safeguarding | issues: | One ofthe elders acts as the Safeguarding Co-ordinator and reviews our |
|
| practices with children and vulnerable adults. DBSchecks have been carried |
|||
| out, as necessary. Our Safeguarding Policy can be viewed on application. |
|||
| H&S, Fire etci | During the year, the emergency lighting system, fire alarm system and |
||
| extinguishers were checked routinely. PAT Testing was not carried out, due |
|||
| tothe prolonged closure ofthe building in line with government guidance. |
|||
| Relations with | As an independent church, governed on Congregational principles, |
||
| other Churches | the church isentirely self-governing. However, we gain great |
||
| encouragement and support from Wycliffe Independent Church from which |
|||
| this church was planted in January 2013. Additionally, membership of |
|||
| the Evangelical Fellowship ofCongregational Churches (EFCC) provides us |
|||
| not only with contact with other churches but also with practical guidance | |||
| and legal support when required. One ofour elders serves on the |
|||
| Committee of EFCC. Our two elders maintain personal links with other |
|||
| South Yorkshire churches, often offering preaching support to churches with |
|||
| that need. |
| Unrestricted | Funds: | The church's principal income comes from gifts from members and those |
|---|---|---|
| attending the church. However, Wycliffe Church supported CPC with a |
||
| E5000grant for which we are immensely thankful. |
||
| Our key expenditure was on salary (7696[201965%]ofgeneral expenditure). |
||
| The church building was purchased by EFCC in 2017. Our intention isto |
||
| purchase the building from them. In 2019a lease agreement with |
||
| EFCC was entered into, whereby CPC lease the building for 5 years at an |
||
| annual rent ofE1000. At the end ofthat period, discussions will take place |
||
| regarding repayment ofthe initial capital used in the purchase. |
||
| As has been said elsewhere, the trustees are grateful to God for His financial |
||
| provision during the year. |
||
| Restricted Funds: | During the year, the church received grants totalling E4000towards the cost | |
| ofrefurbishment. Seeaccounts note 6 |
||
| Reserves Policy: | The Board ofTrustees has yet toagree a Reserves Policy. As a new CIO, | |
| our operation isvery 'hand to mouth'. However, as soon as we begin to |
||
| accumulate reserves, the trustees will meet to establish a base-line to which |
||
| we will work. | ||
| Risk Statement: | As a Christian church, the trustees try to be faithful in committing all |
|
| decisions and issues ofchurch life tothe guidance and providence ofGod. |
||
| However, in accordance with the requirements ofSORP, the trustees ofthe |
||
| church will develop a document which identifies the major risks to which the |
||
| charity is thought to be exposed and instigate appropriate measures to |
||
| mitigate those risks. | ||
| This has already been commenced with policies and practices being |
||
| developed to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, safe working on site |
||
| given the presence ofasbestos in some areas, and routine H&S issues. |
||
| Recognising our responsibilities to our community, especially those under |
||
| The Disability Discrimination Act 1995,improvements were made to the |
||
| building during 2020. Access was improved by the removalof the front |
||
| steps and a store room converted to an accessible toilet. | ||
| Financially, a budget is prepared and approved by the church members |
||
| annually and carefully monitored as the year progresses. Members are |
||
| updated on the financial situation quarterly. |
