Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

MISSION STATEMENT AND AIMS

Holy Cross is a diverse evangelical Anglican Church in the Church of England. It is in the parish of Gleadless Valley, within Attercliffe Deanery and part of the Diocese of Sheffield.

Our mission statement is to Glorify God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit by:  Knowing God through Jesus Christ,

We aim to fulfil this mission by being disciples who help others be disciples and so:

  1. Meet Jesus in the Scriptures and listen and respond obediently by:

  2. allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us to be like Christ, applying God’s Word to every area of our lives while being dependent on His grace;

  3. turning to Him in Praise and Prayer - because of who He is, what He has done and is doing, and asking His help in all things.

  4. Love one another practically by:

  5. loving and caring for one another regardless of age, background, or nation and being committed to meeting with each other throughout the week;

  6. helping one another, through the Holy Spirit, to be equipped to serve the Lord in all of life using spiritual gifts to serve others.

  7. Proclaim Christ boldly by:

  8. Reaching out with the Good News of the Gospel through words and actions to our families, friends and community;

  9. sending out missionaries and supporting worldwide mission through Mission Partners and Partner Churches.

The Church continued working out the following 6 Priorities set for 2019-2022. These have remained in place for longer than anticipated and will be reviewed in 2023:

1. Staff Team. Ensure that we have the right Staff Team so that, under the Lord’s Hand, we can fulfil His mission.

2. Funding . Ensure that we have the money needed for the staff posts.

3. Building . Make certain that we have a building that is fit for the growing work of the Lord’s Kingdom in Gleadless Valley.

4. Accessibility . Enable variety with accessibility in how we reach people with God’s Word – in both Sunday & midweek ministry.

5. Serving . Communicate the needs of a growing church and the areas of church life that require more people to serve – providing appropriate equipping for all.

6. Personal Evangelism . Commit to outreach in our community.

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

Priorities 1-3 reflect the overall life of the church and Mission Statement, our context and current needs.

Priority 1: Staff Team

Vicar: Holy Cross is led full-time by the Rev’d David Middleton.

International Ministry Assistant: This post is occupied in a full-time capacity by Pierre Kabaya who began a new 3-year contract in July 2022.

Women’s Worker: This post is voluntary and unpaid and is fulfilled by Aly Middleton. Aly is responsible for overseeing ministry among the women at Holy Cross and supporting the ministry of the Vicar and Staff Team – especially with respect to pastoral visiting and some youth and children’s ministry.

All current members of the staff team completed full ministry reviews during the year. We have not had anyone on our Gap Year Ministry Experience Scheme or as a Ministry Trainee.

Families’ Worker/ Youth and Children’s Minister: This post has been vacant since July 2020. Following support from the Bishop of Maidstone and senior diocesan staff in Sheffield, the PCC discussed and decided in November 2022 to seek to appoint a Youth and Children’s Minister to start after Easter 2023. Adverts were placed in December for January/February.

Looking ahead, we hope to be in a position to employ a Youth and Children’s Minister after Easter/in the summer of 2023.

Priority 2: Funding

In the early part of the year, we made significant progress in attracting financial support for another 3-year period for the International Ministry Assistant post which allowed us to reappoint Pierre Kabaya for another 3-year contract.

We also made good progress in raising support to enable us to appoint a Youth and Children’s Minister for 3-years which enabled us to make the decision to move forward and advertise the post.

Priority 3: Building

Although the Covid-19 pandemic continued to impact church activities, we were still able to meet together on Sundays and midweek.

3

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report

For the year ended 31 December 2022

At the end March 2022, Mustard Seed International Church told us that they wanted to move venues as they had outgrown Holy Cross. This ended over 10-years of use of the building by this fellowship. Whilst the loss in rental income has been considerable, the PCC has decided not to let the church building to another church because of difficulties in ensuring adherence to Church of England Regulations – in particular Safeguarding Regulations. During the year we were asked to revisit this decision on several occasions by a variety of churches but were unwavering in our original decision.

With the increased cost of utilities and the cost of living crisis, we moved mid-week church meetings (except for YBS) to the Vicarage and homes.

The building was periodically used by the local council to support local engagement in the Gleadless Valley Masterplan. We also hosted the film crew of the sequel to ‘The Full Monty’ – this brought in some financial support and gave us opportunities with the team.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused us to put plans for an extension on hold, but now that church family are returning to church, we are once again feeling stretched for space. Essential maintenance and repairs have continued and we have also maintained a careful eye on COVID-19 security – especially the spacing of chairs.

In 2023/4, we will reassess our requirements for the building and reappraise what is required going forward.

Activities and Achievements

Priorities 4-6 reflect the three main aims for church life and how we work out our Mission Statement in respect to our relationships with: God in Jesus, with each other in the church and with those in our community and further afield.

During 2022/3 church life continued to be impacted by the Coronavirus Pandemic and was shaped by our four existing Guidelines:

Most of our church family have been able to return to in-person services and we have enjoyed regularly welcoming new individuals and families from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Our Sunday ministry has developed gradually with the reintroduction of:

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

Our mid-week ministry has also been able to restart:

Whilst still trying to make sure that ministry was both shared and sustainable, the PCC also gave the go-ahead for several new initiatives:

The Safe, Happy, Effective and Free culture was revisited and updated following a church leadership half day of reflection and prayer in March. Once revised (as below), this served as the basis for a sermon series in the Summer Term.

Our review of church practices and policies has continued with the introduction of Working Agreements for the Staff Team and further updates of Role Descriptions for volunteers. In addition, the Parish Handbook was extensively revised with respect to the role and responsibilities of the PCC and PCC Standing Committee.

5

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

Priority 4: Accessibility

Everything we do is shaped by our belief that the God who created the world and us, has made himself known in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ. He came into the world so that anyone who puts their trust in him can receive forgiveness, a restored relationship with God now, and life forever with him.

This Good News is found in the Bible and it is our conviction that when we hear the Bible read and taught, and when we study it for ourselves, we hear God speak to us. He calls us to trust him and live for him; and changes us so we can respond to what he is saying to us. This past year we have spent time in the following parts of the Bible: Luke; Genesis; Mark; Haggai, The Psalms, 1 Thessalonians and John. At every stage, we have striven to make the Bible accessible to all regardless of age or stage of life, culture or background.

For those unable to join us on Sundays, we have maintained a pattern for visiting the housebound and more recently managed to gain access to those in care homes. In addition, we provided DVDs of the service and recordings of the sermons to those unable to be with us and those who were involved in the Sunday Club ministry that precluded them from hearing the sermon.

In 2023/4, we remain flexible in our approach to church life so that the Lord’s work can be accessible to as many people as possible. We updated our website and are re-establishing our FaceBook and YouTube presence.

Priority 5: Serving

Living Life Together as a church and Serving Jesus Christ together in our church family and beyond mean that our relationships with one another are at the heart of our mission and ministry. We believe that everyone at Holy Cross is gifted in different ways and we believe there should be opportunities for everyone to serve in ways that help them and others to flourish.

We have had several opportunities to highlight serving in church family life. These have included up-front interviews with those who are serving; announcements about serving opportunities; and a sign-up sheet to assess church family interest in a new ‘Drop-in’ ministry as well as encourage people with a reminder of the opportunities that already exist in church life. We have been encouraged by new people serving in the following ministries: catering; music; leading services; reading the Bible and praying on Sundays; children’s work on Sundays; food support and safer recruiting.

Of particular encouragement have been:

6

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

Alongside these developments, we have continued to make sure that all recruitment follows the Church of England Safer Recruiting process and managed to appoint a co-ordinator to oversee Safer Recruiting. At Holy Cross, our recruiting process involved further explanation and the embedding of our ‘Safe, Happy, Effective and Free’ culture. In addition, we drew church families’ attention to our revised Church Handbook and the ways in which it sets out and facilitates the sharing of expectations in serving.

One important aspect of serving that has emerged this year is the formalising of the Ministry Support Group . This group aims to facilitate good working relationships between team members and leaders /co-ordinators in all ministries in church life. It is accountable to the PCC and meets at least 3-times per year and as situations arise.

Partner Churches

We remained committed to supporting our Partner Churches locally and nationally. We pray for them regularly and share news and encouragements. We are very grateful for our partnership with them and the different ways each of them supports us.

Deanery

We played an active role in Attercliffe Deanery. Our Vicar and Deanery Synod Rep have been participating in Synod and Chapter matters.

Diocese

The parish remained part of Sheffield Diocese for administration, discipline, safeguarding and licensing matters and received pastoral and spiritual oversight from the Bishop of Maidstone who was succeeded by the Bishop of Ebbsfleet in February 2023.

Church of England

Living in Love and Faith has dominated life in the Church of England and has also been a constant focus for prayer and engagement. Our Working Group and PCC engaged with this national discussion on gender, sexuality, identity and marriage. Whilst we are a church that welcomes anyone and believe that the Good News of Jesus is for all, we shared with our Bishops our deep concerns that any departure from the Biblical and historic understanding on these matters would have huge consequences for Holy Cross, the Church of England and the world-wide church.

Decisions by the Church of England Bishops and General Synod in January/February 2023 have already begun to make life in the Church of England challenging. They are raising questions by concerned members of Holy Cross and are straining relationships and undermining Church of England structures. In the light of this, the PCC took the decision to send the paid members of our staff team to GAFCON IV in April 2023.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the ministry of the new Bishop of Ebbsfleet and look forward to deepening our relationship with Rev’d Rob Munro. That said, we are extremely anxious about the trajectory of the Church of England and deeply saddened by the distancing in relationships caused by recent decisions.

For the year ended 31 December 2022

Priority 6: Personal Outreach/Evangelism

Priority 6 is aimed at helping us all play our part as we seek to reach out to Gleadless Valley and beyond, so that others can come to know and experience the love and Good News of Jesus for themselves.

We partnered others in Gleadless Valley to support one another and work together for the good of all residents in the area. Alongside joint ventures, Holy Cross provided unique ministries in the following areas: Fun Food and Faith; Sunday Special and the Gleadless Valley Memorial Service. Our Vicar remained on the Gleadless Valley Masterplan Engagement Forum helping to provide a voice for the community as this huge project moved forward.

As part of our individual care for those most marginalised and in need, we distributed Christmas Hampers (food and utility contributions) to 30 families who were in need of extra support and partnered the COOP in providing warm clothing for children and youth.

Beyond Gleadless Valley, we continued to provide prayer and financial support for each of the following Mission Partners: the Oakes Christian Holiday Centre, the Potter family in Mozambique and St Thomas’ Church, Heideveld in Capetown, South Africa

In 2023/4, we aim to continue working with our partners in Gleadless Valley, stay involved with Gleadless Valley Masterplan, help provide for those in need and continue to support our current Mission Partners

Finance Review

Giving to God’s work at Holy Cross relies on teaching from God’s word and prayer. Due to personal circumstances, giving may go up, down or stay the same. By the end of 2022 there were 15 families / individuals who had made a commitment to regularly give by Standing Order. 11 tax-paying members have also signed Gift Aid forms enabling the church to reclaim tax from the government. This commitment to give regularly is so helpful to the Church Council as it enables it to plan for future ministry and associated expenditure.

In the Autumn the Diocese gave Holy Cross a contactless giving device so that members of the church can give using a contactless debit card. The giving is processed by Give A Little before being paid into our bank account. It is available every Sunday for general giving to the work of the church but also for supporting special events, eg. youth and children going to The Oakes or Yorkshire Camps, the Christmas Help appeal and the earthquake disaster appeal.

In 2022, the giving by standing order, contactless card, bank transfer, cash in Sunday collections and other donations totalled just over £42,400. With reclaimed tax through the Gift Aid scheme, this increased to just over £50,000.

8

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC Annual Report For the year ended 31 December 2022

We are extremely grateful for the sacrificial giving by the church family and others who financially give to support work at Holy Cross. We have been hugely blessed by donations and grants towards staff employment costs from a few churches and a Christian Trust. Please continue to praise the Lord for his incredible generosity to the ministry at Holy Cross.

In order to help the monitoring of accounts, the PCC has created the following funds into which all income and expenditure is assigned:

We are an Anglican church within the Diocese of Sheffield and Doncaster. We contributed £8,600 towards their costs via the Common Fund. See note 4. The costs include:

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the PCC that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific purpose, should at least be maintained at £20,000. The PCC considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of unforeseen costs, they will be able to immediately address the issue whilst demonstrating our dependence on God. Free reserves at 31[st] December 2022 were £27,035 (2021: £44,414)

The charity also holds Designated funds of £101,713 (2021: £98,343). See Note 10. Most of these funds are to help secure the future of the Youth and Children’s Minister and the International Ministry assistant positions.

Holy Cross Gleadless Valley PCC

Notes to the Accounts For the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 ( as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ( FRS102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements have adopted Charities SORP (FRS102) Bulletin 1 and taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £1.

(b) Income

Income is recognised in the SOFA when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the monies have been met, the receipt of the income is probable and its amount can be reliably measured.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

(c) Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(d) Tangible fixed assets

All items of capital expenditure below £500 are written off as incurred.

Depreciation has been calculated to write down the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives on a straight line basis.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(f) Stocks

Book stocks are held on a sale or return basis and are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

(g) Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

(h) Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Accounts - continued For the year ended 31 December 2022

(i) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific artistic projects being undertaken by the charity.

(j) Pensions

The organisation has a defined contributions pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the accounts as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

(k) Operating lease rentals

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease

(l) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

The transfers into the designated funds are transfers from the general fund for the following purposes.

Youth and Children Ministry Fund

We cannot rely on external funding for the Youth and Children's Ministry and we are therefore steadily building up the fund from the General Fund to ensure there is sufficient to commit to a 3 year contract.

International Ministry Assistant Fund

The current contract for the International Ministry Assistant ends on 30 June 2025. As we cannot rely on external funding we are steadily building up the fund by transferring from the General Fund to ensure there is sufficient to fulfil the contract.

Vicar's Discretionary Fund

The PCC transfers into this fund to ensure there is always suffcient for the year.

Building Fund

An extension to the church is planned and in order to do this a substantial sum is needed to be raised. The PCC want, where possible, to transfer money into this fund.

Development Fund

This fund can be used for any developments approved by the PCC.
