| Note: public benefit | In compiling this report and in exercising their |
powers and duties, the | ||||||
| Managing Trustees have |
had due regard | to the | guidance | on public benefit | ||||
| published by the Commission and, in particular, |
on charities for the | |||||||
| advancement of religion. |
| Governing | Document | Document | Crystal Peaks Church (CPC) CIO Constitution and Fellowship Guide —as |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| adopted by the members ofthe church on 4 March 2018. |
||||
| CPC is committed to the 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 |
||||
| to the offices ofPastor, Elder, Deacon, and Treasurer. | ||||
| At the end ofDecember 2021, CPC had 24 members. | ||||
| Governance | The elders ofCPC met formally eight times during 2021,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 or |
at the | |||
| AGM. Because ofthe size of CPC, much ofthe church activity is | ||||
| reviewed routinely when members meet together for prayer. |
||||
| The charity Trustees met three times. | ||||
| 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 etc: | During the year, the emergency lighting system, fire alarm system and |
|||
| extinguishers were checked routinely. PAT Testing was resumed. |
||||
| Relations with | As an independent church, governed on Congregational principles, |
|||
| other Churches | the church is entirely 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 (EFCCj 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, Wycliff Church supported CPC with a f5000grant for which we are immensely thankful. |
||
| Our key expenditure was on salary (49%[202076%]ofgeneral expenditure). |
||
| The church building was purchased by EFCC in 2017. A lease agreement, |
||
| running until June 2024, allows the church to lease the building at a |
||
| peppercorn rent, sothat we can use our income to refurbish as required. |
||
| At the end ofthe lease 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. |
||
| Reserves Policy: | The Board ofTrustees have instituted a simple reserves policy. We aim to ring-fence f5000for building emergencies and also retain three |
|
| months operating funds which, at present amounts to around f6,000. |
||
| Risk Statement: | As a Christian church, the trustees try to be faithful in committing all |
|
| decisions and issues ofchurch life to the 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 isthought 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 HRS issues. |
||
| 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. |
