ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS For the year ended 5 April 2025 PRINCIPAL OBJECTS The objects of the Trust are exclusively charitable and include the proolamation of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the propagation of, and instruction in, the doctrine and praCtIS set out in the Trust Deed. STATUS Journey Church Harrow ICIOI was established by a Deed dated 6 May 2021 and became fully operational on 1 December 2022. This Trust replaces Journey Church Harrow (formerly known as Good News Church, Harrow), which was established as a Charitable Trust by a Trust Deed dated 6 December 2011 (as amended on 18 October 2017). That Trust has now been closed. TRUSTEES The following Trustees served the Trust during the year.. John Jenkins {SecretaryreasurerI Lorna Jenkins (Chair) Pamela Manley (Treasurer) Vlctoria Wheeler (Trustee}- appointed 4 February 2024 The power to appoint new Trustees rests solely with the existing Trustees. SUMMARY OF MAIN ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS The Trustees continued to exercise their responsibilities for overseeing the finances and general conduct of Journey Church Harrow. They met as required during the year, conducting Trustee business either as part of leadership team meetings (with Trustee matters recorded separately) or via electronic communications where matters were discussed remotely. In accordance with the objects of the Trust, Sunday services for worship, communion, and Bible teaching were held weekly and were open to all who wished Page 3
to attend. The interactive teaching style introduced previously continued throughout the year. Church prayer meetings were held online via Zoom. Social media plafforms (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsAppl continued to be used to connect with individuals within the church and the wide., community, to advertise events, maintain contact, offer prayer and spiritual and emotional support, and arrange practical help. A number of individuals, and one couple, discovered the church online and decided to join Most of these new members now attend a Tuesday evening Bible Study that was started in Pinner. The church's outreach team continued to visit the local community regularly, offering Pfayer. simple gospel presentations. short Discovery Bible Studies. and Gospel Conversation Training. There was a continued openness to prayer and to hearing the gospel, and relationships with individuals in the commtjnity were strengthened through ongoing visits. Contacts with believers from other churches also continued, creating opportunities to offer training. As part of this outreach, several visits were made to 0 local mosques, including attendance at Friday prayers and Iftar meals. These visits provided valuable opportunities for learning, dialogue, and respecfful discussion of respective beliefs. In October 2024, the church planned to run an American Sports Camp in conjunction with Breakout Ministries. Despite a strong advertising campaign, take-up was extremely disappointing. Rather than cancelling the activity, the team used the week to undertake informal outreach in the local park. This proved extremely fruitful, particularly through engaging with young people and others using the basketball court, enabling the church to build new relationships and offer positive engagement within the local community. The training team continued to deliver the online Following and Fishing workshops, with a total of nine workshops conducted during the year. Demand for this training remained consistent month by month. The team also strengthened its links with the No Place Left London Coalition, facilitaling a further three-day training workshop for micro church planters in September 2024 at Journey Church Harrow. Our Mission Catalyst continued to work closely with the outreach and training teams, as well as supporting the weekly coffee morning and Tuesday Bible Study group. Her team continued to grow, with one new missionary joining in 2024 and the prospect of another in 2025. We again hosted a short-term mission team, who joined our outreach team, church members, and individuals from olher churches for a week of mission in March 2025. The church coffee morning continued to grow during the year and attracted a committed group of ladies from the local estate. We were also able to restart the Tiny Tots group with the help of new church members and our new missionary. Attendance was strong from the outset, creating valuable opportunities to build relationships with new families. Page 4
We were able to hold our Community Carol Service, which again attracted all three of our local councillors and saw increased attendance compared with the previous year. Horizon Youth and Community Action continued to use our premises IIce a month to hold a variety of community events. This arrangement remained mutually beneficial and provided significant value to the local community. The Community Connex Development Day took place in March 202) and is now estabiisnea as an annual let. We also entered into a regular arrangement with Shaftesbury School for their sixth form to use our kitchen once a week, One unexpected outcome of this arrangement was an invitation for members of the church to contribute to sixth form classes as part of the school's module on Christianity. This provided an opportunity to support students, learning and understanding of Christian beliets and practices, and there is every prospect of further invitations in the future. We also entered into a regular arrangement with IF Sports to use our hall weekly for table tennis practice and competitions. In addition, local families continued to hire our halls for family events and lebratIOnS. The only building work carried out during the year was an electrical repair in the side hall following the failure of a lighting circuit. The ctturch car park continued to be made available to the Cedars Youth and Community Centre as part of a joint agreement to reduce on-street parking iri the area. In these ways, the Trustees consider that the requirements of public benefit have been adequately met. FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES The Church Treasurer ensured that the Trustees were fully informed of the Trust's financial position throughout the year and attended all meetings of the Trust. The Trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unres..,-.-- -as reserves sufficient to cover three to six months of church expenditure (equivalent to beeen £5,250 and £10,500), enabling the charity to continue operating should income andior expendilure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £74,697. slightly higher than the previous year due to increased returns on invested cash. Increased income from greater use of the building meant that the church was able to operate without drawing on these reserves. The Trustees anticipate the need for future work to upgrade the toilets and fire doors and will review cash reserves with a view to allocating designated reserves for this work. Page 5
