About CCF: Background, Vision and Mission BACKGROUND In Christmas 2018, at the Invitation of the Bishop of Kensington, the Reverend Andy and Dizzy Watkins reopened and planted Into Christ Church Feltham. Christ Church Feltham Is a Methodist Church, within the parish of 5t Dunstan's Church Feltham. Historically the parish of St Dunstan s was two parishes the Parish of St Catherine 5 being the parish church c105est to ¥vhere Christ Church Is situated. When St Catherine's was closed and sold In the late 1970$, St Dunstan's absorbed St Catherine's partsh making the new parish population of St Dunstan's ¥vell over 35,000 and growing - the largest In the Kensington Area. In 2018119 more accommodation was built in order to house in excess of10,000 additional people. There Is clearly need for another worshipping Anglican community to be established In central Feltham. Bishop Graham and Bishop Paul before hiry tried nurnerous time5 to plant into central Feltham,without succes5 until now. I n 2017, Bishop Graham apprtsached the Methodist Church when he heard that they were closing Christ Church on Hanworth Road In Feltham and asked If the Church of England could plant Into It. Since then, the Anglican Church has been partnering with the Methodist Church to establish a new mission initiative. In December 2018 Christ Church Feltham began a5 a new worshipping community and in August 2019, Christchurch Feltham became a registered Charity (CIO). VISION The Vision of Christ Church Feltham Is to see'The Church on fire and Feltham alive.. This vision has emerged In three ways.. In Acts, we read what happens to the known world when the church is set on fire by the Holy Spirit. The people are blessed, people repent of their sin and come to faith (Acts 2.. the sick are healed, and poverty Is eradicated.) In short, the city comes alive. Our prayer Is that God would set His church on Fire and bring life to Feltham through It. 2. A series of prophetic word5 from many diFerent people describing how they saw Christ Church 'on fire, and how that fire spread like a wildfire across Feltham bringing life to Its people. 3. A growing sense among many churches In the UK who are sensing a similar vision tts ours and that maybe God Is letting us know what he 15 about to do. We want to be a part of that. An Important thing to note about this vision Is that our longing Is for'the, Church to be set on Fire not just our church. Our vision will not be realised until we see oll of God's Church In Feltham and surrounding areas on fire and oll of Feltham alive. Page 8 of 28

MISSION We believe that If we are to see the Church on fire and Feltham alive, we need to do three things disciples and build up the Church. love Feltham, make Love Feltham Paul writes in1 Thessalonians 2..7-8"Ju5t as a nursing mother care5 for her children, 50 we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives a5 well. Our heart Is to be a church that loves Feltham $0 much that we cannot help but share Jesus and our lives with Its people. We want to hear where the community aches and respond in love. We want to have a reputation In Feltham for being a church that loves Its town. Make Disciple5 Paul then writes In 1 Thessalonians 2.11-12 ' For you know that we dealt with each tsf you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory." We want making disciples to be the key priority In all we do. We want to be teaching people who Jesus Is and how to be like Him. We want to be a church that shows love to its town by giving every person an opportunity to follow Je5U5. We will then make it a priority to help people continue to grow in their faith. 'Love Feltham and Make Disciples, will be the lens by which ¥ve determine what activities and ministries we do as a ¢hur¢h. If a missional idea only meets one of the above criteria, then we will work with the personlteam to come up with a strategy that will satisfy the other If that can't be done, then we may have to say v4e wtsn't be doing It as a church. Build up the Church In John17 Jesus prays the following prayer '1 pray also for those who will believe In me through their message, of them may be one, Father,just as you are in me and l am in you. The essence of Jesu5 prayer 15 for unity in the Church. We want to do all we can to answer Je5U5' prayer by being a church that is for the local churches in Feltham. Wherever possible we want tts be a church that works to promote unity. To that end we will make It our business to pray together, wtsrk together and encourage one antrther all while avtsiding competition and division. Our prayer Is that as we do that, we'd see ALL the churches In Feltham grow. PagelOof28

2023 Objectives Establish Joint Council With the signing of the sharing and mission agreements between the Methodist and Anglican Church, 2023 will see the forming of the joint council which will give oversight to any activities In the building and the general mission of CCF. The is an exciting next step in CCF story? a5 thi5 council makes future building work possible. 2. Alpha In 2023 we plan to run alpha 2-3 times. Alpha Is a course giving people an opportunity to explore the Christian faith. Alpha at CCF will runTwice within our Farsi Speaking cornmunity and once within our English speaking community In 2023 3. Refugee Ministry In 2022 we saw a huge growth In the number of Iranian refugees joining CCF. During 2022 and 2023 we will be creating a space In our Church for the building of community through cooking, eating and small group bible studies. 4. Become a single friendly church. It was revealed In the 2022 census that 40% of people In the Feltham area are single. CCF plans to become a'single friendly, church through 2023 - th15 will mean designed events that will enable those who are single to build community within the wider church. 5. Growing to120 adult member5 by the end of 2023 CCF has continued to grow through 2022, and we are hoping to See this continue in 2023. We hope to grow to 120 adults members by the end tsf 2023 - this will be achieved through the establishment of newcomers processes that will help people tojoin the CCF community 6. Thrivingyouth Ministry In ?022 In partnership with LVA trust, we began a Youthspace on Friday nights. In 2023 we want to build on thi5 and establish a thriving youth group. By the end of 2023 we want to have a weekly gathering of teenagers mid- ¥yeek and on sundays. 7. Parenting and Marriage Courses In 2023, we plan to pilot of parenting course, which will then be offered more widely in 2024. In addition we plan to pilot a marriage course In 2023, which again will be offered more widely In 2024. 8. Stay and Play and Super Saturdays Stay and Play and Super Saturdays have been so well attended at CCF since planting In 2019. In 2023, we will continue to run Stay and Play each Wednesday in term time and hold a super Saturday event 3-4 times a year. We hope to welcome over100 new families through both these ministries in 2023. Page11 of28

  1. CCF Day Away In September 2023 we will be hosting our first CCF away day. Our hope is that everyone who calls CCF their church ¥vould come a¥yay v41th us for a day of building community* ¥vorshipping God and engaging with teaching.
  2. Older Persons Ministry Over 55$ are the least represented In ourcommunity at CCF. In 2023 a working group will be created to prayerfully create a plan for building a growing community of older people rnid-week and on Sundays at CCF.
  3. Love Feltham initiatves. After the success tsf the Good Grub Club In 2020121- a working group will be created In order to find ways to love and serve Feltham. While we don't know what this will exactly look like, our hope is that these projects will meet the needs of people In every aspect of their lives (physical, emotional, spiritual etc)
  4. Increasingly diverse congregation In Revelation 7..9, the writer says, .and there beftsre me ¥yas a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb,. We long to be a congregation that reflects the town we have been placed in th15 means we will be intentional in welcoming everyone who comes to CCF and demonstrate Godly Inclusion. In 2023 this will be a priority In every aspect of church life leadership, styles of worship, social medialwebsite etc Page12of28

2022 Highlights & Ministries Report 2022 HIGHLIGHTS 1. The CCF Staff Team The CCF stafF team is made up of paid and unpaid staff members. Much of what Wa5 achieved in 2022 15 down to the hard work of the staff and their associated volunteer teams. Our stsff team for 2022 was a5 follow5. Andy Watkins Lead Pastor Dizzy Watkin5 - Lead Pastor (unpaid) Claire Reynolds- Operatitsns Manager Rudy Tan Curate Teri-Anne Cavanagh Ordinand Rosie Gordon-smith - Kids Pastor (Part-time) Steff Nantes - Operations Assistant 2. Stay and Play Stay and Play has been tsne of the most encouraging ministries at CCF during 2022. We regularly see over 40 parents coming along with their children, many of whom say that it is the best parent and toddler group in the area. Stay and Play 15 run by Rosie and Dizry who have done an amazingjob building this community. 3. CCKids Over 2022, our CCKids ministry went from strength to strength. Over the year the kids ministry has grown and regularly has around 25-30 kids In attendance. Rosie Gordon-smith has recruited, trained and deployed an Incredible team of volunteers $0 that SurOay Kids Church and Friday night Games night are safety run. 4. Ministry among Iranian Refugees At the beginning 2022 our Farsi speaking community began to grow quickly. In response, under the leadership of Rev d Rudy Tan, we have created a Farsi speaking Fellowship on Thursday afternoons where members of the Iranian community can cook together (CCF provides the Ingredients), then eat together and then have a bible study together. On the back of this and our Farsi Alpha course, we have had the privilege of baptising around 40 people from this community in 2022. 5. Super Saturday(s) Super Saturdays have continued to be a major succe5S at CCF. It seems that every time we open the door for a Super Saturday that community floods inl In 2022 we hosted 3 super Saturdays and each time we sa¥Y over 80 adults + children join us for games, crafts, and foodl Massive thank ytsu to Rosie for all she has done to organsie these events. 6. Christmas 2022 Page13of28

In 2022 we held 3 carols services (one in the local Wether5poon5 pub) and a Christmas Day service. The attendance wa5 mixed thi5 year- we were hoping to have Caro15 on our forecourt again but the weather didn't allow for it and so our attendance was not has we would have hoped. Christmas Day was very encouraging Indeed. 7. Ordinand and Curate In 2022 we welcomed Rudy Tan as Curate and Teri-Anne Cavanagh as Ordinand. Rudy will be with us for 3 years nd Teri-Anne for 2 year5. CCF continues to prioritie5 training those who are moving forward in their vocation. 8. LVA + CCF Youthspace In 2022, In partnership with LVA (Loved, Valued, Able) Trust, CCF began a youth drop In on Friday nights In the Church. Over the months that it ran, we welcomed many teenagers to hang out ¥vith us. Sadly due to lack of tearn and teenagers we had to press pause tsn this - but our dream Is reboot this In 2023 as we can see the value of having such a group In Central Feltham. 9. Small Group5 Through 2022, Small Groups continue to meet- both on ZOOM and In-person. Looking ahead v4e'd like to see our CCF have eight small group5. 2022 MINISTRIES CCKids Cckids 15 overseen by our Kids Pastor, Rosie Gordon-smith. During 2022 we were able to run Kids Church each Sunday during Sunday Services as well as hosting semi-regular games nights In the Church. During 2022 the kids ministry has grown, for this, we thank God. 2. Ccyouth Ccyouth was relaunched during 2022.

Families Ministry In 2022 our family ministries team hosted stay and play groups during term time, piloted a parenting course and organised 4 Super Saturday events - all of which were really well attended. 4. Sunday Gathering5 In 2022 we continued to gather in person, with kids and youth groups every Sunday. 5. Prayer Every Wednesday evening CCF gathers to pray. Our prayer meeting is called the Furnace. It 15 called the Furnace because If we want to be a church on fire then we believe we need t¢> bec¢>me a furnace of prayer and worshipl On average between15-20 came each week to pray for Feltham and for the Church. Page14of28

  1. Alph In 2022 CCF ran alpha twice, a course designed to help people explore the Christian faith.

  3. Small Groups Small grtsups continues throughout 2022. Mid way through 2022 Rudy Tan took on small groups with the mandate of growing the number of small groups at CCFI Church Membership At the end of 2021 Christ Church Feltham had 55 adults officially signed on the electoral roll, In addition to a number of regular members who did not Sign forms. Building Management MAINTENANCE The last Quinquennial a55essment took place in January 2019 and the next one is due in 2024.

Other buildinglmaintenance points to note- General maintenance has been carried out around the building* garden and side alleys ¥vhen needed to keep the premises a safe and viable Space for working, running ministry and community activities and hiring.

CCF Financial Review Year End December 31" 2022 2021 C105ine Summary As of Jan1" 2022 the total funds held by CCF were E100,613. Of this E9,772 ¥yas In restricted funds and E25,508 ¥yas In designated fund5 for missional giving and savings for an eventual church plant. 2022 Summary Throughout ?022, the number of monthly contributors reduced frorn 27 to 25, with regular giving marginally decreasing from £6200 to É6005 per month (excluding gift aid). This decrease in donors wa5 due to several members moving out of the area due to external circumstances such as clergy training. The marginal decrease In total donor giving Is quite remarkable ¥vhen considering some donors who moved on were significant and the Cost of Living Crisis started to bite at the end of 5urnmer 2022. It is worth noting that congregation size increased throughout 2022 however the general demographic of this growth Is not one where financial Contributitsns would be likely. Income received in 2022 totalled £140,768. Expenditure for the same period came to £134,582 leaving a balance of E106,799 of which £18,347 Is restricted. These restricted funds are predominantly from a grant for our Asylum Seeker ministry of E13k v4hich was awarded In autumn 2022 for 2022 and 2023 expenditure In equal parts. When this Is considered, incorne and expenditure for 2022 almost perfectly balance. From the outset of CCF, the Trustees agreed that10% of all unrestricted giving be retained within a Missional Giving Fund. The church council agreed to stop this at the close of 2021 in order to re-allocate this rnonthly income to Increase our Common Fund contribution in line with our aim to be no net burden on the fund as soon a5 15 reasonably possible. The Missional Giving Fund sits at E25,508 In a designated fund. This fund ¥vas not spent due to the potentially Financially precarious position CCF could have been In at the end of 2022 as explained below. 2022 saw a sharp Increase In energy bills which coupled with the cost of living crisis and known moving on of several regular donors led to It being likely CCF could have reached Its £30k reserve threshold in the main account towards the end of the year. In anticipation of this likelihood the Church Council, Staff and Finance team agreed to reduce energy usage, apply for grants) pray and agree further cost saving measures should this happen. Thankfully due to the resilient regular giving of donors, a couple of one-off gifts and the successful application of the Asylum Seeker grant this threshold was not reached nd CCF finished the year in a Strong financial position. In discussion with the London Diocese, the Trustees agreed a payment of E17,040 towards the Common Fund against a Par15h Standard Cost (PSC) of f 87,750. This wa5 paid on a monthly basis. The Diocese has challenged CCF to meet our Clergy stipendiary and housing PSC with our Common Fund payments by the end of 2026 (É58k). The Trustees continue to exercise careful stewardship in respect of General Fund expenditure but endorse the ministry-led budget and believe It reflects the strategic vision of CCF. We are grateful for the continuing generosity of the congregatitsn, and welcome the teaching of the Lead Pastors, encouraging congregation members to regularly revieY4 the giving of their Page18of28

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Christchurch Feltham

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set out on pages 22 to 28.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Certified Accountants

Having satisfied myself that the charity is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the gross income for the period exceeds the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirm that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act being a fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Examiners.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
