## Vicar’s Report 


This is our third year of operating as a revitalisation here at St Paul’s and it has been a great journey. This year the church has been beginning to see the building of momentum behind the vision to be the beating heart of God’s love for Stockton. There have been physical changes to the building in our new office, changes in our staffing and structure including the arrival of Alfred our new curate and Tracy our new administrator. We have seen increased missional outreach with a continued focus on children and young people, with our amazing Narnia prayer spaces, coffee mornings and Exodus All Age series as well as the beginning of Youth Life Group. We saw two amazing groups of teenagers from the States join us on mission. Our children’s groups, particularly Toddler Church, has grown to the point where we are now planning a launch of Bubble Church in 2024, a very exciting pilot of a service for families with young children. 

This is all reflected in our statistics for mission in 2023 – we saw our Sunday attendance grow from 41 to 50 on average with a worshipping community growing from 68 to 140. 84 of that community are under the age of 18. And we are responding to that growth by ensuring we have space to accommodate our children and youth with plans to refurbish our chapel and vestry next year to make room for a creche and a youth den. 

As we move in to 2024 it is with a sense of excitement for what God has planned for us with the upcoming Festival Teesside, new Alpha courses, Bubble Church and building projects to come. 

Nine years ago, it looked like the church would close. Five years ago we dreamed about what could be. Three years ago we started the hard work of change. Now we are beginning to see lasting fruit of that journey and the hope of more to come! 



## Warden Report 


A big thank you to all who have supported me in post as warden since June: All those who have prayed for me, served on rotas and  joined in our Church family gatherings making it all worthwhile! 

A particular thankyou to Julie and Dorothy who stepped up as finance team to support the Warden when he became, by default, Treasurer. And to Ian Bendall, who although stepping back from project work within this church, has carefully and thoughtfully handed over any ongoing actions. 

The Church is growing in numbers, there is a real sense of looking forward to what’s God going to do next. Pastoral care and Safeguarding are well managed and supported. Financial management is good and with the introduction QuickBooks will develop even better transparency. 

Health and Safety: Intruder and Fire alarm systems are now tested and maintained. 

Future Work: Electrics - Quotations have been received and a supplier selected by PCC who shall be worked with to bring us into compliance with our older electrics in the building. 

Seymour Chapel - The works will also cover making the chapel both prayer and child friendly. 

The small hall heating and lighting will be renewed. Faculties and grants for both areas are being sought. 

Quinquennial action list and other works have been prioritised by PCC. 

**We have one Warden and one Treasurer post vacant, please consider carefully and prayerfully if you can help.** 



## Safeguarding 

After around three years as PSO I have recently handed over this role to Joan Williams. On the point of handover there were no serious concerns which we were actively working through as still unresolved. There was a number of recorded situations and incidents on file which were not causing concern at the point of handover but we were aware issues could well arise again. 

Partly because of the demographics of the Parish there are many issues that arise so the role can be a busy one. There are a lot of families struggling and also individuals with health issues who became vulnerable. Issues also arise through the opening up of the church to groups such as Youth.  It is important as issues arise  to respond quickly and review  and update safeguarding polices so groups can be properly and safely welcomed into the church. 

The employment of Tracy as administrator and bookkeeper should help ease the pressure of the role as she will be taking on much of the work around DBS checks and monitoring that training is up to date. 

The role of the PSO  works best as part of a team alongside the vicar Paul Arnold and also the Pastoral team. Beth Miller also provides invaluable advice as Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. 

I give my heartfelt thanks to Joan Williams for taking on this role . Geraldine Donegan 



## Children & Youth 


AOur children and youth work here in St Paul’s is a key part of our mission. We cover a whole range and are beginning planning for Bubble Church and more! Our vision across all of this has been seeing our young people grow in faith and as disciples of Jesus. 

**Toddler Church** We share stories of Jesus and have a lot of fun! The group has grown quickly and it has been great to see the team develop: sharing God’s message of love in amazing creative ways. A big thank you on behalf of the whole church to the team. 

**Kids’ Space** has seen a group of about 14 children on a Sunday, although this fluctuates. We explored prayer and studied Old and New Testament stories of faith and had a fantastic summer all age series in Exodus. 

**Schools Work** is growing! St John’s primary school joining our work with Oak Tree, Green Gates and St Mark’s. It is great to be in schools or invite them to us with services here. 

**Youth Ministry** was relaunched this year with Youth Alpha bringing in 3 new young people and a Youth Life Group has developed from this. We want to build relationship with them and see them taking steps of faith from exploring to believing and sharing God’s love. Movie nights and Refresh Worship has been a big part of this. Seeing a team come together with a burden for our young people to know God has been great. We are seeing the fruit as young people encounter Jesus. 

**Overseas Missions** Two mission teams from America joined us helping decorate our hall and being in local schools and parks connecting with young people in the area, culminating in a youth led youth service with testimony and song. We look forward to welcoming Scottsdale back them back in June.

## Pastoral Care 

As we seek to be the beating heart of God’s love for Stockton, we need to love one another and our Pastoral Team was formed this year to help us not just say it but to show it too. 

Our team consists of the clergy (Paul and Alfred), Jean Eyles, Linda Errington, Geraldine Donegan and Joan Williams (our new Parish Safeguarding Officer). Our job is to help coordinate and organise some of the care that is already happening, so actually the team who care for others is the whole church! 

We want to thank all of you for helping this team to do its job: sharing when you are struggling and  pitching in to help those in need. We are all real and it is the only way we can really help one another and as a family it is lovely to see us pitch in. 

We do have a number of complex pastoral issues that we work through as a team, some are known to us as church when people fall ill, some are rightly confidential. Please do keep us in prayer as we continue in this good work. 

The team are investigating appropriate training resources to help with general pastoral skills. If you would be interested in taking on some training please let any of the team know. 

A key part of pastoral care is in our relationships with each other. These are really built up in small groups of people sharing life together, so we are really glad to see that life groups are a focus for this church next year. They can be a real pastoral support in times of need. 



## Electoral Roll 

In 2023 our Electoral Roll has grown to 57 people on the roll: 15 living in the parish and 42 out of the parish. 

Leavers and joiners - We have had 13 people join our roll this year and no leavers from the roll. However, this is going to look very different next year as there are approximately 20 people who no longer attend this church that are likely to no longer be on the roll when we do a full renewal in 2025. 

The 12 joiners and next year 20 leavers do not fully reflect the diversity of people that now call this place their church. This is a really good story, but I would urge those who have not joined the roll this year to seriously consider joining it for next year’s renewal. 

That means that this year - 2023 we cross a boundary that allows us to have on the PCC up to 9 elected lay representatives, along with 2 deanery synod representatives and 2 Churchwardens. 




## Curate’s Report 


The first thing I would like to say is thank you. From my first visit to the parish in August 2022, I have been made to feel most welcome. In describing my time at St Paul’s I often overuse the words ‘Joy’, ‘Privilege’, and ‘Wonderful’ but it's true! 

St Paul’s has provided a wonderful place for me to start in ordained ministry. I have had the privilege of many good experiences that have helped with my learning. In my first few months, I helped to lead through the Exodus story in our all age summer series, where we witnessed the pulpit becoming a cloud-covered mountain! 

I have been assisted and led baptisms, including one very wiggly four-year-old! I have worked alongside Lauren with toddlers, children, and youth, where I am regularly defeated in table football. And now seeing the toddler church families taking part in bubble church is a real joy. 

It has been wonderful to be part of two Alpha courses. Lots of the team for the second one had been guests on the first who wanted to get more involved! I have been able to get varied experiences and insight into all parts of church life in the context of a revitalisation project, seeing both the joys, with people coming to and growing deeper in faith, and the difficulties/pains of times when a small team can be stretched and tired from the good work God gives us. 

I would particularly like to thank Rev. Paul for being my training incumbent and journeying with me as I grow into ordained ministry. Please be praying for me as I look forward to being ordained Priest on the 29th of June and continuing my curacy here for the next two years. 



At St Paul’s we are called to be the beating heart of God’s love for Stockton. Showing and sharing his love. To do this we hold 6 All’s at our heart we are ALL: 

**GOD’S ALL IN FAMILY SPIRIT ALL REAL LED JESUS ALL CAN CENTRED PLAY**
