2025 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of St Michael
and All Angels, Farnsfield.
Aims and purposes
St Michael and All Angels Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the
responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Chris Pearse, in
promoting the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral,
evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
Objectives and Activities
In line with our Growing Disciples Plan and our ' l O-in-l O, Vision (to see 'lO%
of thepeople in Farusfield living as devotedfollowers ofJesu,s within JO years ')
the PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to engage with
our church, find encouragement and support, become part of our worshipping
communities, and grow in their faith and discipleship to Jesus. The PCC
maintains an overview of worship and mission throughout the parish and makes
suggestions on how our services and ministries might best connect with the
diverse community in which we are placed. Our gathered worship enables us to
put faith into practice through prayer and Scripture, music and sacrainent and
equips us to go out and share the Good News of Jesus with our community.
We continue to work in line with our Diocesan Vision: 'Living Hope: Growing
Disciples of Compassion, Confidence, & Courage.,
When planning our activities for the year, we have consideration for the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary
guidance on charities for the advancement of religion through:
Worship and prayer. learning about the gospel; developing their
knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish
Mission and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we are good stewards of the financial
and material resources that we have.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
Worshi
Pra
er & Disci
leshi
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services and opportunities for prayer and
worship during the week and over the course of the year that connect with our
local community and equip us all to go deeper in our faith and discipleship to
Jesus. We have identified some key markerslvalues for our life together as a
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

church.. 'Praying, Sowing, Serving, Growing, and continue to work to embed
these.
Our regular service pattern (established in September 2021 } of two Sunday
morning services (9.15am & 10.30am) has continued throughout 2025. These
two services are intentionally different in style and aim to connect with different
groups of people within our community. It has been great to see both of these
setvices flourish over this past year and to see many new people finding a home
at St Michael's alongside our longstanding members, and we now have
regularly around 120 people (adults & children) attending each Sunday
morning. To keep a sense of togetherness we have enjoyed the occasional
shared service too and our shared coffee times between the services each week
are always a good time to get to know one another.
Our 9.15am service has maintained its regular service pattern with Holy
Communion services on the I ' & 3, Sundays of the month and Morning Praise
th
services on the 2. & 4 Sundays. The organist and choir's regular involvement
in leading our sung worship has been hugely appreciated and greatly enhances
our services. The 10.30am service is more informal in style and with children
and young people's provision each week has been very popular with families.
We are now seeing over 40 children attendingi most Sundays and have three age
groups for children and young people meeting each week (1-4s, 4-9s, 10-13s)
and an amazing team of staff and volunteers who serve in various ways. Going
forwards we are planning on launching a fourth children, s group to enable the
growth we are seeing to continue and ensure teaching can be tailored
effectively.
In September 2025 we also began a new monthly evening service called
'Abide' which is much more reflective in style with space for bible readings,
prayer and an extended time of sung worship. This has been well attended so far
and has complimented well our existing moming pattem.
We enjoyed special services at Easter, Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas,
and special 'Remembering Service, for those who have lost loved ones in recent
years. Numbers were noticeably higher at Easter and Christmas services and
thought is being given to how we might increase capacity for future years. In
addition, we have continued to enjoy hostiiig the end of term services for St
Michael's School, as well as a 'Foundation Service, for new starters.
Tuesday Moming Prayer on Zoom, Tuesday Prayer Group, and Bible Chat have
continued weekly, providing encouragement and spiritual nourishment to those
attending, and the Midjveek Communion service (which began in September
2023) has continued to meet monthly on Wednesday mornings. This service
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

continues to be hosted by our Visiting Team and provides a good opportunity
for another group ol people to join in with the worship life of our church and
find friendship and fellowship.
We have continued to upload Sunday talks and readings to our website which
remains a good way to stay connected with those unable to attend services in
person.
Connect our After-school Church continues to be well supported and has
continued to meet weekly through tern] time. Numbers have been good
throughout the year with between 35-50 children attending each week along
with their parents/carers. We've continued to welcome visitors from other
churches around the diocese and enjoyed some exciting 'Connect Specials,
along the way including a Good Friday Trail, a Light Party, and a Nativity Trail.
These have all been great fun and well attended have been effective 'bridging
events, enabling us to welcome our Connect families into the church building.
The 'Tuesday Youth, group which launched in May 2024 has gone from
strength to strength in 2025 and at the end of the year there was an average of
24 11-18 year olds attending each week, which is wonderful to see. Grace and
Andy continue to work together to ensure there is a good transition between
year 6 and year 7, and it's been great to see the fruit of this with many Year 7's
continuing their engagement with church and faith either on Sunday Mornings,
Tuesday Evenings, or at Connect.
Grace took 4 young people to DTI (Dreaming the Impossible) Festival in
August 2025 (in partnership with a team from St Mary's Newark) & a small
group of adultslfamilies also attended the Awaken Festival later that same
month. These t"estivals provide a great opportunity for people of all ages to
gather with other Christians for discipleship, worship and prayer and are always
so encouraging to attend. Plans are undetway to attend these festivals (with
larger groups) this coming August.
Our dedicated team of Licensed Lay Ministers, Readers, Clergy, and Musicians
continue to do a great job leadiiig our worship and preaching week by week,
and we are hu
ateful to the man
amazin
volunteers and team members
who serve across a variety of areas to enable our worship life to flourish.
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and
thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we
thank God for the gift of life and make commitments in faith. in marriage,
public vows are exchanged with God's blessing; through funeral services
friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life that is now
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

complete in this world, and commend the person into God's keeping. In 2025
we had 18 baptisms (including 13 adults) and l Marriage Blessing service. We
also had I I funerals in church and 8 burial of ashes services in the churchyard.
At the end of 2025 there were 103 parishioners on the church electoral roll.
With a full renewal of the roll 39 names were added during the year and 33
were removed (either through death or because they didn't reapply).
Pastoral Care
There continues to be a good network of infornial support within our church and
village community, and our St Michael's Visiting Team continued to operate
through 2025. This team exists to offer spiritual and pastoral care to those who
are housebound, bereaved, or in need of support in our village and church
community. Home communion is available for those who would appreciate it,
or simply a visit, chat, or prayer.
The Ark Coffee Morning continued to meet on Friday mornings throughout
2025 and continues to provide a welcoming place for people across our village
to come and enjoy time together.
Small Groups have not been meeting in 2025 but thought has been given to
how we might relaunch these this coming year. A mixture of 'Homegroups' and
'Connect Groups, are being explored so that, as we grow as a church, we can
ensure that everyone is supported, encouraged in faith, and connected in.
We have also had the occasional 'Friendship and Fun, gathering (including a
Shrove Tuesday 'Beetle Drive,) which have enabled people from across our
congregations to meet and enjoy time together.
Mission and Evan
elism
As a PCC and Leadership Team we continue to work with the diocese team on
our Growing Disciples Plan which helps to shape our missional direction as a
church. The plan is now renewed tennly as we work towards our overarching
vision and seek God on the next steps together.
We had an encouraging PCC & Leadership Away Day in October where we
spent time reflecting on how we can continue to position ourselves well in this
season for the growth God is bringing. Paul's words in I Corinthians 3.5-9 'God
brings the growth.. you are God's field, continue to guide our thinking and
prayers in this exciting season.
It was fantastic to be able to run 3 Alpha Courses in 2025 (as well as Youth
Alpha) which were well attended and really impactful for all those involved.
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

The Alpha Course enables people, whatever their background, to explore the
big questions of life and faith together and go deeper in their understanding and
commitment. Following on from Alpha it was a joy to be able to run an
'Exploring Baptism, course which led to 13 adults being baptised in the
autumn.
Helping those in need is a core part of our Christian faith and witness and we
seek to support our local community and those further afield in a number of
ways.
Our St Michael's Choir continues to provide a great opportunity to invite
members of our village into our church and enjoy singing together- some make
the journey to Sunday's too, helping lead the sung worship at our 9.15am
services - and we are very gratefijl to Ian Boothroyd, Eve Griffiths, and Polly
Illingworth for their continued oversight of this.
Our Tuesday Toddler group 'Shining Stars, has developed well under Andy's
leadership through 2025. This group enables those with babies and toddlers to
connect and build relationships with each other and with the church.
As a church we also remain heavily involved in the Foodbank effort across the
village with a number of church members on the Foodbank team, and the
Farnsfield Refugee Outreach Group has also continued its important work of
helping refugees in the local area to settle in and has received a couple of grants
to support them in this.
As a church we continue to support other Christian organisations and Charities
and in 2025 it was a joy to be able to give financially to our 'Missional Giving
Partners,. These include our CMS (Church Mission Society) Mission Partners,
Rosie & Stu Bayford (who are based in North-Eastem Brazil), Lifespring
Chiirch Foodbank, Betel, and the Empnaus Project in Newark. The aim with
these 'Mission Partners, is that alongside offering financial support we can
develop meaningfijl relationships with them and offer prayerful and practical
help too. Alongside this, the Charity Shop team choose a number of other
charities and initiatives to give to each year as well, and in 2025 charities such
as Myeloma UK, Cardiac Risk En the Young, the Orchard School, and the
British Red Cross were supported financially.
Hel
in
to Resource Other Churches
This past year has also seen us continuing to look beyond our own parish and
offering resource and support to other local churches. We are committed to
supporting our Cluster churches (Kirklington, Maplebeck and Winkbum) who
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

continue with their regular pattern of worship and community engagement with
support from the Farnsfield team.
In 2025 we completed our first set of Young Worshipper Workshops with a
cohort of 12 young people attending (both from our own church and other
churches in our diocese). The aim of these YWWS is to encourage and equip
young people to grow in their musical giftings and their understanding of sung
worship. Tt felt a great start and is an initiative we are keen to build on going
forwards.
As an extension of her work here in Farnsfield Grace Aldridge continues to
head up the Flourish Pilot in the Minster School which has had a great year in
2025 with a good core group of students attending, supporting its development,
and growing in their giftings and leadership.
Alongside all of this 2025 saw some initial steps taken for the launching of the
new 'Rural Cluster, for which St DAichael' s has been nominated as the hub
church, with Rev. Chris Pearse taking on the role of 'Lead Mission Enabler,.
The idea with this new Cluster is to draw together a number of rural churches
into a 'missional and strategic partnership, to help resource new ministy and
enable more people within our communities to explore faith and come to know
Jesus. Our new cluster includes the Farnsfield Group, Bilsthorpe & Eakring, the
Riverside Group, Edingley & Halam, and the West Trent Benefice.
Rev James Moring was licensed as Priest in Charge of West Trent (and one of
the new 'Mission Associates, for the Cluster) back in July 2025 and they have
already begun a new worshipping community in Rolleston. In October 2025 it
was good to be able to invite church members from across the cluster to an
initial gathering at St Michael's, and good progress was made too on the
funding and recruitment processes. Now into 2026 we have 3 of the 4 staff roles
appointed and work can begin in earnest to develop a wider vision for the
cluster as a whole and plan out some initial steps.
Staffin
& Volunteers
We continue to have a vibrant and growing staff team at St Michael's which
meets regularly together to pray and prepare for mission and ministry.
Throughout 2025 Andy Proffitt has continued his excellent work as our
Children and Families Minister. As well as overseeing the children's groups (O-
l Os) at our l 0.30am Sunday service, leading the running of Connect, and
leading our Tuesday morning toddler group 'Shining Stars,, Andy continues to
build on our strong connections with the school and has also been working hard
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

in the background as our 'Deputy Lead Recruiter, to help ensure that
Safeguarding and DBS requirements are being kept up to date.
Grace Aldridge continues to bring a great deal to our church and team in her
role as Youth Minister (with Contemporary Worship siipport). It's been
wonderful to see new ministries continue to flourish under her leadership, new
teams developing around her, and to see so many young people continuing to
grow in their faith. Grace's role has been supported initially through the diocese
by some SDF 4 funding (Strategic Development Fund), and we will need to
work together as a church in the coming months to ensure the financial stability
of this important role longer terni.
Lyndsay Townsend joined our staff team as our Charity Shop Manager back in
2024 and has continued her brilliant work overseeing the Inspiration Shop &
team with passion, dedication and enthusiasm. She also continues to be a key
member of our children & youth teams, overseeing the Sunday morning creche
team, as well as offering support at Connect and Tuesday youth.
After completing his first-year internship in July 2025 Rowan Aldridge signed
up for another year from September and has since then been part of the
'Leadership Track, with the diocese. Through his internship Rowan has been
involved in a variety of areas including supporting the development of our
Prayer & Worship as a church, helping with Alpha and Toddlers, and preaching,
and we are grateful for all he has brought to the team.
It was a joy to be able to appoint Hilary Poyner to the role of Parish Assistant &
Administrator back in August 2025. Hilary is employed for 12 hours per week
and has made a great start in her role which includes being our PCC Secretary,
supporting with background tasks and administration, and helping us get on top
of our organisational structures and processes.
It was also a joy to welcome Pete Balchin & his family back in June to be our
new curate in the Famsfield group of churches. Pete was ordained 'deacon' at St
Michael, s Church by Bishop Paul on 21" September and since arriving has got
stuck into a number of niinistry areas including Connect, Youth, and service
leadinglpreaching. It has also been a time of stepping out into new things (such
as leading funeral services) as part of his new ordained ministry.
Charlie Mathews has continued in his role as our church organist, and we very
much appreciate his contribution to our worship at St Michael's week by week.
Alison Slinger continues to offer accounting support to the church Treasurer
and PCC and we remain hugely thankful for her invaluable support and input.
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

Whilst not employed, Trine Pearse continues to be an essential member of our
core team olfering her gifts and passions to help our mission to thrive - and we
are of course blessed to have a two very dedicated Church Wardens in Geoff
Illingworth & Ian Griffiths, a wonderful PSO in Kim Smith, some fantastic
LLMslReaders, and a very committed PCC.
Work will continue in the coming year to develop PCC 'sub-committees' to
support the work of the PCC and those in key roles across our growing church.
We of course remain hugely reliant upon our many dedicated volunteers for our
mission and ministry to flourish as a church. It's a big team effort and we are

Chari
Inspiration Charity Shop has gone from strength to strength in 2025 and
continues to be a real blessing to both the village at large and to the church,
raising invaluable funds in support of our ministry as a church, and providing a
welcoming meeting point in the village. Lyndsay Townsend continues to do a
fantastic job managing the shop and overseeing the team of volunteers and, as
ever, we are very thankful to all those who volunteer their time and energy
there. Particular thanks go to Christine McGregor, Janet Boothroyd, and other
members of the Shop Management Committee, for all the hard work they put in.
Deane
& Diocesan S nod
Judith Alcock has been serving as our Deanery Synod representative. 2026 is
the year for Deanery Synod reps to be reappointed and, due to the size of our
electoral roll, we are able to nominate up to 3 members to stand. Ian Boothroyd,
given his role on the General Synod, also sits on Deanery Synod & Diocesan
Synod, along with Chris & Trine Pearse. This, along with Clergy Chapter and
other points of contact with the diocesan team, ensures a strong link is
maintained between the parish and the wider work of our Deanery & Diocese.
Financial Review
The total income for the church was £265,776 which has exceeded the threshold
of £250,000 for preparing accounts on the receipts and payments basis. This
year the accounts have been prepared using the accruals basis.
The income from unrestricted planned giving increased by 12 % to £47,779.
This is very welcome news and follows on from a year-on-year increase since
2021. In 2025 there was significant grant income of £58,604 which is detailed
in the notes to the accounts. The income from the Inspiration charity shop has
continued to increase. The net proceeds in 2025 were £69,820. (£65,772 in
2024.)
PRAYING SOWING I SERVIMO I OR0￿1￿￿

£166,340 was spent from unrestricted funds and £52,912 from restricted funds
to provide the Christian ministry Irom St Michael and All Angels Church,
including the contribution to the diocesan parish share that largely covers the
stipends and housing costs for the clergy, alongside diocese support and training
of new lay and ordained ministers. During the year the fixed pipe organ was
removed and replaced with a moveable digital organ at a cost of £42,180. This
left a usable space that is being converted into a new room for office space and
use by various groups.
The net result for the year was an excess of payments over receipts of £18,379
on unrestricted funds. This is largely due to the costs of the new organ and the
new room refurbishment which have been mitigated by using the organ fund
and the redevelopment fund to cover some of the costs.
Adding bank and deposit balances brought fonvard at the beginning of the year,
the balances carried forward at 31" December on unrestricted funds totalled
£130,367. The restricted fl￿dS of £82,661 are detailed in the accounts.
Reserves Polic
It is a good PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds that
equates to at least three months, payments which in 2025 was £54,813. In line
with PCC policy, a £45,000 provision from the general fund has been
designated to provide for the ftiture rentals due on the charity shop lease. The
rent is £20,000 yearly with a three year break clause. The cash balance of
£130,367 held in unrestricted general funds at the year end more than covers
both these requirements.
The forecasts for 2026 and 2027 show anticipated deficits as some of the grants
come to an end, but do not predict that the reserves policy will be breached until
2028. The PCC will continue to look for an increase in planned giving and
make grant applications to ensure financial security into the ￿ture.
Structure
overnance and mana
ement
