North Derbyshire New Life Church
Annual Report
Regarding the financial accounts of New Life Church for the year ending
31 st July 2024 we can report that we had a similar amount of income to
that of 2023 and we still have a healthy balance of £37,931.
We are encouraged that the tithes have gone up by approximately £3,000
from £71,752 to £74,884. Gift Aid was similar to the previous year but the
offerings were down from £19,614 to £12,997 which retumed to a 2022
level.
Donations came in at £2,630. There were restricted and designated funds
of £4,468 which included additional giving of £75 to the Scarborough trip,
£1,021 emergency gift to a member of the church in difficulty, £153 to
Pathways, £875 to Covenant College, £464 to help with funeral costs,
£1,130 gift to a minister on retirement and £750 to the Watoto Choir of
orphaned children from Uganda perfonning a concert to raise money for
the education and care of the children.
In regards to expenditure our total expenditure were similar to 2023 at
£115,038.
Once again the administration costs for the yearwere very low as we have
no offices but work from home. £1,345 was spent covering auditing, bank
charges and printing.
Room hire costs were similar to 2023 at £17,456 paying for Sunday
venues and halls needed for any further events.
Items for meetings shows an outlay of £706 which included videos,
refreshments and items for Easter and Christmas services. Also new P.A.
speakers were bought and costs included in the equipment category.
Pastoral expenditure was £241 which included costs incurred in the giving
of flowers for specific occasions. Gifts to those in need rose to £1,313
which included £180 to Tearfund, £347 to Pathways, giving to Ashgate
Hospice and as already mentioned help for people in difficulty.
Hospitality costs were to provide ovemight accommodation for the drivers
of the Watoto Choir.

Outreach expenditure trebled to £3,168 which is encouraging as it reflects
the fact that we had the money to spend on one of our main primary
purposes. The outgoings included a Scarborough trip which was opened
out to others, a church picnic, BBQ outreach, Hasland Community Gala,
Alpha Course kit and Chesterfield Street Pastors.
We invested £179 into King's Kids which is our children's work and
children's meeting. This included craft supplies, and our regular donation
to MAST (Matlock & Area School Trust) who take the Christian message
into local schools.
The cost of Subscriptions was £768 which includes our giving to Alfreton
Churches Together, Christians Together for Chesterfield. These groups
facilitate churches coming together to reach into our communities. We
also paid out for Zoom subscription and Microsoft Office.
The £1,115 for Relief and Development included £380 given to
Compassion, gifts to Huddersfield to Ukraine Humanitarian Aid, Help
International Zambia to help with replacing a roof and £125 to Toilet
Twinning helping to provide better sanitation in poorer countries.
We also spent £417 on our website and intemet plus £653 on insurance
including public liability. P.A. systems cover and personal accident and
legal protection.
The annual music licences for both Chesterfield and Alfreton groups cost
£822.
Other expenses £145 on Safeguarding, £1,613 on telephone, mobile and
broadband for the church leaderslministries. Website costs included £172
to Go Daddy and £245 for Square Space.
Regarding costs for ministries and leaders we gave a ministry gift of
£6,425 to Together Ministries. They oversee and help a number of
churches including ourselves and work into Africa where they have built
and now run a Bible School in South Africa.
Another portion of expenditure is accounted for with the wages of four
people who are involved in leadership, in equipping and discipleship of
people within the church and who work into our community. There are
three leaders and a Pastoralladministrative P.A. The wages bill totalled
£71,073
In summary, we are pleased that we have been able to keep the church
on a fimi financial footing having a healthy bank balance. It is our intention

to look to greater income so that we can increasingly invest in people's
lives within the church, into our community and our primary purpose.
However we will continue to look at the finances with wisdom and cut our
cloth according to the means of the church.
Finally we are very grateful for the ongoing faithful giving into the church
which indicates that people are on board with our vision to show the love
and kindness of God to those within the church and also into our
communities where we hope to have a positive impact.
