Trustees’ Report

I write this report as Pastor, and chairman of Trustees, at the end of what has been a really encouraging year. We started off the year, once again, with a time of prayer and fasting, giving the years into God’s hands, both individually and as a church. There was a real excitement, with many new people joining in, and we saw the blessing of this throughout the year.

Governance Structure

The year began with an important change that was not externally visible, but important to our future non-the-less. We changed our charity status to that of a CIO. This change was the culmination of a lot of hard work on behalf of the trustees, and we are particularly grateful to Liz Holdcroft for leading the way with that. To those not acquainted with charity law, this change may not mean a lot, but this charity status, which is relatively modern, is far better suited to a growing church.

We also said thank you to three trustees who have faithfully served for many years, Fred Challinor, who stood down at the end of 2022, and Jean Nicholson and David Walters, who stood down at the end of April. They have been such a wonderful support and, although the time was right, it was very sad to lose their strength and wisdom from the trustee team. We want to thank them for their years of faithful service.

We needed to strengthen the trustee team and we were delighted that Kristian Thorpe, Pastor of Arena Church, accepted our invitation to join our board of trustees. Kristian is both the Pastor and the chair of trustees of a large multisite church. He is also on the board of trustees for the AoG Property Trust. His church has supported and encouraged our church for many years. His wealth of experience was immediately evident in trustee meetings, and we are privileged to have him with us.

Sunday Services Mark

The Sunday Services have been really encouraging this year in a number of different ways. The serving teams have expanded and strengthened in all areas. This has included teams that often work behind the scenes, but are vitally important, such as ‘Hospitality’, led by Marianne Palin, ‘Welcome’, led by Liz Nicosia and ‘Children’s Ministry’ led by Zoe Donnellan. The same is true for the ministries that are a little more visible such as the ‘Creatives’ (Worship and Tech) and the ‘Preaching’ teams. We have been delighted with the amount of people that have joined teams and served so faithfully throughout the year.

The attendance on a Sunday has grown throughout the year. This has included people who have moved into the area and people who found faith in Christ this year. It has been really encouraging to see these people integrate into the church family and begin to serve others. We now have people from many different nations and of all ages and backgrounds. The impact of this on the Sunday services has been so encouraging and there is a real joyous feel to the meetings.

We still Live Stream the services and this has been an effective outreach tool as well as serving those who have not been able to attend in person. This includes the repeat service which we show at 6:30pm on our online platform where we are joined by members from as far as the USA. It is great that people aren’t just watching the services but are also interacting.

Groups

We have many different groups happening each week where we are able to really value one another and build one another up; mutually honouring . In our larger groups such as Tuesday Venue, and The Gathering, it has been

2

encouraging to see growth. Tuesday Venue have seen some new people begin to attend this year, notably a gentleman who is not born-again who came to the last meeting. He said he felt close to God after he heard the Gospel in the meeting. The Gathering has also seen increasing attendance during the year. It’s also been great to see people grow in their giftings; a number of people have gone through a preaching course with Pastor Mark and have had the opportunity to preach several times.

We also have smaller groups that meet regularly such as our Monday morning prayer group, our fortnightly Tuesday prayer group and the YA (Young Adults) group. These groups have also experienced growth this year, particularly our Young Adults groups which meets regularly for fellowship and to grow spiritually.

Besides our regular groups we have also been able to provide special meetings for men and women. We’ve had two events for women, our Flourish Conference in April and Conversation, Coffee and Cake in September, and for our men we’ve had three men’s breakfasts that were really well attended.

Missions School

Our Missions School is a really important part of discipleship, equipping the church for service. This year we ran ‘Life Stream 101’ which serves as an introduction to our church, it’s vision and values. This was really well attended with around 20 people. Also, as part of 101, we ran the Renew Course which teaches foundational Christian theology. The course ran for 8 weeks and the majority of the people who attended have been baptised this year. Everyone who attended said they all benefited from doing the course and are growing in their relationship with God. It's good to see them finding their place in the Church.

As part of 201 we were able to run the Freedom Course. This 6 week course ran for a second �me in February 2023. The course, which focuses on the armour of God, mental strongholds, the importance of forgiveness and walking in freedom, was well a�ended. This year it included more opportuni�es for discussion in small groups.

focussed on developing leaders. From September we have been mee�ng regularly with the main church leaders to bring teaching, direc�on and encouragement. We look forward to adding more courses over this next year.

Outreach

Our outreaches are an expression of our value, extravagantly blessing. We have a number of different outreaches serving different ages.

Coffee House Toddlers, our parent and toddlers group, has been reaching, on average, 10 families per week. The session is full of fun and conversation and each session a spiritual thought is shared called Pause for Thought . We also had two craft groups running throughout the year; GEMS led by Liz Nicosia and Chat and Craft led by Anne Blunt. These craft groups have provided a space for people to come and connect with our church whilst doing something they truly enjoy. Many great conversations have opened up, as well as opportunities of witness.

A new ministry that began at the very end of 2022 is the SEND play session in response to a need voiced in the community for local play sessions catering specifically for children with special needs and disabilities. As we had just acquired the soft play equipment, Marianne reached out and offered a play session between Christmas and New Year. Ever since, we have offered a play session to this group of parents and young children once a month on a Saturday afternoon. An average of 8 children have attended each session (sometimes as many as 16 children). A couple of the parents have hired our rooms for their children's parties and we are able to advertise our services and events to them, offer prayer and support to them as well.

In January 2023, under the leadership of Gary and Cath, we were able to restart our regular youth meeting, now called Thrive . At first it ran fortnightly, but due to demand and the expanding of the team, it was able to go to weekly

3

sessions from September. It now includes a 10-15 minute ‘God Slot’ which has been brilliant as the young people are praying and reading the bible together. Alongside this, Gary and Cath sought to help disciple our church based young people and in November started a Youth Alpha course where young people are engaging with key topics in the bible. This is proving to be a great course, seeing change within the group weekly.

Special Events

In May we had a weekend away to Cloverly Hall . It was a repeat of what we did the year before but this time we had an even greater participation. It was wonderful to see some of our newer families join us for the weekend and it was great to get to know each other better. We had fun, relaxed, worshiped together and encouraged each other.

In June, we had a week of Mission . This was based both in Biddulph and in Chell, where we are starting a new missional location. We were delighted to have Jonathan Conrathe and his Mission24 team with us. We spoke to hundreds of students in the schools and had a large youth outreach. Jonathan then led us out onto the streets to share our faith and to pray for people. It was wonderful to see the church equipped and mobilised into local mission.

Tenacious! is our annual church conference that we hold in October. This year it was particularly special as it was also the 90[th] anniversary of the church. We invited two people that, not only are great speakers, but have also ministered apostolically into the church for many years, Kristian Thorpe and Miro Toth. It was one of the highlights of the year where we were encouraged to ‘Go’.

Isaac and Esther Asplin worked hard to organise a number of Christmas outreach activities. We were, once again, able to bless our community in practical ways by gifting selection boxes to two of our local schools, and Christmas presents for some of our town’s most needy families. We want to thank everyone that made donations.

We also had, for the first time, a Christmas Market held on the car park of the church. This was combined with several activities in the church such as a science show from our very own scientist, John Aruba and dance groups from the local community. Our local Town Crier even turned up and created a special poem for the occasion. It was a really great way of blessing the community as well as inviting them to join us for the Carol Service the following day. The Carol Service was attended by many new people and was a great opportunity to remind people of the meaning of Christmas.

Facilities

We have continued to work on the Coffee House and are hoping to open it as an outreach this year. In the meantime, the Soft Play which we got in 2022, has been permanently set up in there. This has been great for our outreach activities and has made a really welcome environment for families on Sundays.

Extending Our Reach

We believe that our calling as a church, is to be one church in multiple locations. In 2023 we made significant steps forward with this, by extending our reach as a church into Chell. Here’s a short report from Isaac on our progress.

Over the year of 2023 the Campus Plant in Chell has gone from effectively an empty space to a strong foundation. At the start of the year there was no physical structure of what a Life Stream Campus would look like - all that was completed was a short report on the local area. On the other hand, by the end of the year we have a strong team of 10 that are bonding and getting stronger together, a plan for continued momentum for 2024, a Parents and Toddlers ministry that has been running for 4 months and local connections have been built with key people in the area.

Throughout 2023 a regular prayer meeting has been happening to break the spiritual ground in the area and a small group has started to build relationships and grow together spiritually both of which expressing our heart as being constantly seeking. We have a monthly meal together as a team developing time together and will lead into

4

moments of being mutual honouring. Finally, the parents and toddler group which has allowed Life Stream to get their name in the local area as people who are extravagantly blessing showing love without agenda.

Going forward we are expectant and excited as we start a typical Sunday expression monthly, plan to do an alpha course after Easter to hook people who are questioning faith, and launch an official weekly meeting at our Tenacious Conference 2024 on 6[th ] October. Life Stream Chell has not just been the work of the people in the local area over the past 12 months but the work of the Life Stream Church as a whole as people have faithfully prayed, given and served expectant to see a move of God.

Missional Church

We are a church that is vision led. I want to finish by reminding us of that vision We use three phrases to describe the church that we see and the church we are becoming:

Missional Culture

Life Stream Church will have a transformational and pervasive missional culture. This culture is driven by its three core values; constantly seeking, mutually honouring and extravagantly blessing

Missional Locations

Life Stream Church will consist of, and multiply, missional, value based, communities of people gathering at different locations and in different, relevant ways. This already consists of the Biddulph location, and soon will include a location in Chell.

Missional School

Life Stream Church will train missional servants and leaders and release them to reproduce themselves.

We are delighted to be church with such a wonderful group of people. We are privileged to have you with us on the journey.

With Every Blessing, Mark Holdcroft

Missions Report

The purpose of the mission ministry is to equip believers to reach those that do not know Jesus, to proclaim the good news and doing more to express God’s love for the world.

The mission team consists of a group of five people lead by Christine Mitchell. We usually meet regularly at Life Stream Church or virtually, to pray and discuss funds to send to missionaries.

A year in review

This year we had two members added to the mission's team, Marianne Palin, and Catherine Morris, which take our team from a group of three people to a group of five. This year has been a very productive year has our team has been planning short term mission trips, the first one will be to Slovakia next year, date to be confirmed. This year we had three visiting missionaries, James Kotey from Ghana, and Claire Kinkead from Jamaica in June, and in July we had Marian and Vlasta Poljak from Slovakia visited to speak on multicultural Sunday in highlight of our missionaries and short-term mission trips.

• Ask of Ghana (James Kotey)

• Jamaica Ministry and Cuban Relief (Claire Kincaid)
