**The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works:** 

Constitution adopted 25th March 1990,  Scheme 19th January 1988 Charity managed by trustees 

The trustees of the charity are the members of the Church Council (CC). The Church Council consists of the pastors (with one vote) and up to 12 council members, these being elected by the church members for a three-year term of office at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). 

An information pack (CC3, PB1, PB2, PB3, advancement of religion for the public benefit) is given to new trustees 

The Church Council met 6 times this year and is responsible for 

- Advancing the life of the Church and observing its constitution 

- Keeping the Church register 

- Initiating the proceedings for appointing a new minister 

- Electing employees of the Church and arranging appropriate payment 

- Administering the finances and the property of the Church 

- Deciding on possible doubts over interpretation or application of the constitution of the  Church. 

The Church Council has the right to maintain bank accounts and invest money. 

The German Church of Liverpool is part of the Pfarramtsbereich (PAB, engl. pastoral region) North England and East-Midlands, consisting of German speaking congregations in Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford/Leeds/Sheffield, Nottingham/Derby/Lincoln. The PAB shares a couple of pastors. The German Church of Liverpool is also a member of the Synod of German speaking lutheran, reformed and united congregations in Great Britain.

## Aim and Purposes 

The German Church of Liverpool is the central meeting place for the members of the German-speaking Lutheran Church and aims for the maintenance and fostering of the Lutheran and Protestant Tradition, the German Language and Culture. The members of the Church Council (CC) of the German Church of Liverpool who are also the trustees of the J F Egner and Manse Fund are responsible together with the pastors, Diemut Cramer and Olaf Burghard, for the advancement of Christian Faith consonant with the doctrines in paragraphs 2-4 of the constitution of the German Church of Liverpool, and in particular the provision and maintenance of a church in Liverpool for the public worship and furtherance of other charitable work in connection therewith. 

## Objectives and Activities 

Today’s Church Work focuses on German speaking seniors, families and children in the wider Merseyside area and beyond by providing a welcoming place where all are invited to learn and practise faith and parish community life in an open, diverse and ecumenical context, and to provide a cultural home from home. 

The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion published by the Charity Commission, in exercising their powers or duties and taken it into account for planning activities and events in the year. In this context German Church of Liverpool 

- Provides a place of worship 

- Offers worship, prayer and study 

- Provides pastoral care 

- Offers retreats 

- Engages in outreach work 

To this end it is vital that we maintain the church building and integrated community hall. 

## Achievements and Performance 

## Place of Worship 

The building of the German Church of Liverpool provides a place of worship for our own congregation as well as several other congregations. Like so many other churches we were impacted by Covid-19 through enforced closure during lockdowns, restricted numbers of participants and limitations to activities even during periods of lesser restrictions. 

In 2020 we made the building Covid-safe by installing a one-way system where possible, assessing the maximum number of people in the building, arranging seating in a safe distance, installing automatic hand gel and soap dispensers and updating the conditions of hire with regards to Covid safety. 

This allowed us, in conjunction with less restrictive regulations, to resume in-person services with the celebration of Easter with a service in the church garden. We were also able to welcome back two congregations for worship and prayer in our building, in addition to our own congregation. 

## Worship, Prayer and Study 

Normally, there are two services held per month which are led by our couple of pastors in accordance with their travel rota in the PAB. Once a month the Church offers a children’s service which is becoming more popular. This arrangement allows the more senior members of the congregation a more quiet and reflective environment for worship, while still providing lively surroundings for children that encourage their participation. We mark special holidays throughout the year with 

2 



specific family services in order to offer families the possibility to worship together. This service format attracts families without strong bonds to the Church and offers an opportunity to take part. 

In addition to the services, a seniors’ group meets once a month with the pastor for discussion and Bible study and the pastors teach confirmation classes as well as  adult baptism candidates. 

The first few months this year we had to rely on weekly services either by YouTube or interactively via Zoom. Since Easter we were able to hold in-person services again. We continued with online groups, but also started again in-person meetings of the Wirral-based Wirralkreis. Due to social distancing the meetings no longer took place in people’s homes, instead we rented the meeting hall of a local church. 

Our services are open to all, irrespective of denomination. Currently we have 82 registered members in 42 households, of which 24 are 18 years or younger. This is a net increase of 7 members compared to last year. This upward trend is very encouraging considering the Covid situation. 

## Pastoral Care 

In a Church as widely-spread as the German Church, the most important meeting point between Pastor and members, CC and members is the Sunday service in Church and the ‘social’. The Pastors keep in touch via email, letters and telephone and personal meetings in between. Home visits as well as visits in hospital and care homes are part of pastoral care and counselling. Due to the pandemic, meeting people in person became very difficult but was made possible by a few visits “at the door”and where possible online via zoom. 

The ‘social’: We hold a church coffee and cake before or after the Sunday services. These get-togethers offer the elderly members especially an occasion to socialise with other German speakers. Considering that the members of the German Church are scattered across the Merseyside and Wirral area these are valuable encounters. 

## Retreats 

The German Church of Liverpool regularly organises weekend retreats with three other German Churches in Manchester, Yorkshire and East Midlands: a family retreat in the Summer and a singing retreat and a church retreat in Autumn. Unfortunately all these events had to be cancelled this year again due to Covid-19 but we hope that next year at least some can be arranged. 

## Mission and Outreach 

We demonstrate our faith by helping those in need. As per decision by the AGM we raised 10% of the advent bazaar receipts for the Wirral Ark project and donated  the Christmas Eve collection to Christian Aid. 

Our PAB-wide magazine is distributed quarterly to all members of the congregation (by email or in paper) and is also available in the church. The magazine keeps our parishioners informed of the important matters affecting our Church and articles that help develop our knowledge and trust in Jesus. 

We support two German-speaking children and family groups which normally meet monthly in our hall or garden. They were able to resume meetings after the summer holidays. In addition we provide a focal point for the wider German-speaking community in Merseyside and beyond with a German summer party and our German Christmas fair and irregular German cultural events, like talks, concerts or walking tours. Again, this year this was mostly prohibited, but we were able to organise a May walk in separate family groups. We also resumed our St. Martin lantern parade which took place fully outdoors.  Most encouragingly, we were able to hold an online Christmas fair in combination with an Advent cafe in the church. The German church also gives German-speaking people who move to the Liverpool region opportunities for getting in touch with the German community. 

3 



In recent years we organised cultural events after our afternoon Sunday services (“Kultursonntage”) for a wider audience than regular visitors to our church. We are planning to restart these events as soon as possible. 

We rent out our building to community and neighbourhood groups, a choir, a tango club, and a WI group on a regular or irregular basis and therefore provide a place to meet for the neighbourhood and wider community. Unfortunately, we lost one choir due to the restricted ventilation in the meeting hall as the very old windows are locked shut. On the other hand we are very happy to welcome a new Spanish Saturday school. 

## PAB and Synod 

The German Church of Liverpool is part of the PAB (pastoral region) North England and East-Midlands which is the overarching administrative entity for sharing common resources, e.g. the pastors’ work, salary, car. The treasurer and another trustee represented the German Church of Liverpool at the annual PAB council meeting in February. 

An unexpected benefit of the Covid crisis has been that the members of the congregations in the PAB drew closer together as they were able to meet up freely online without having to travel long distances. This enabled a very much welcomed enhanced sense of community across the PAB and Synod. 

The German Church Liverpool is a member of the Protestant Synod of German-speaking Lutheran, reformed and united congregations in Great-Britain. Brigitte Jurack of the CC represented the German Church of Liverpool at the annual Synod meeting which took place via Zoom this year. She was elected by the Synod's Assembly in April as Trustee on the Synod Council. Diemut Cramer has been Senior of the Synod until the end of this year’s Synod Assembly. We have therefore good links between our congregation and the wider structure of the church. 

## Ecumenical Relationships 

The German Church of Liverpool itself welcomes people of all denominations in all parts of worship and parish life. We also have a longstanding relationship with the Nordic Church and the Anglican Cathedral. This year we were able again to welcome the Nordic Church in our church for the Reformation Day service. Openness to ecumenical and interreligious affairs and exchange belongs to the core principle of the German Church and is reflected in letting our Church as a place of worship to two other congregations. 

In addition we are a member church of Churches Together in Merseyside which supports and encourages churches from a wide range of traditions to work together in unity. 

## Volunteers 

Many members of our church actively contribute to our social activities, a large group of volunteers prepares home-made cakes for our church cafe and provides cake donations for our social events like the Christmas bazaar. Fundraising events like the summer fete in normal years, the May walk this year and the Christmas bazaar rely heavily on volunteers’ time and work before and during these events. 

Volunteers also actively help with the maintenance of our church - volunteers take over building caretaker duties and gardening duties. A group of volunteers met several times this year for garden maintenance and tree trimming and one DofE volunteer took care of all lawn mowing this year.

## Financial Review 

_(note, rounded figures are given here, exact figures are given in the financial report)_ 

## State of the Charity’s Finances 

The end of year result is extremely encouraging with a surplus of £16,575 despite this year being still very much affected by the Covid 19 pandemic which continued to impact on fundraising and rent income. E.g. the Bethel church terminated their rental contract, we lost one choir completely due to the lack of ventilation in the meeting hall, the other only met occasionally and the tango club only restarted sessions in the autumn. 

To set off these losses of receipts and future proof rental income, the treasurer applied for Covid relief grants to two funds: the Kaiser Wilhelm II (KWII) fund (a philanthropic family charitable trust that supports individuals of German origin living in social or economic hardship via organisations working with these target groups) to recover lost rental income and to the Council of Lutheran Churches (CLC) Covid fund to recover lost fundraising in 2020 and 2021 and for funds to replace the very old and fixed windows in the meeting hall to allow proper ventilation. Both of the applications were successful and resulted in grant income of £14,073. This is very good news and will allow us to tackle the refurbishment of our meeting hall by setting aside £15,000 for this. In addition, the KWII fund continued to support the social work of the German Church of Liverpool with £1,200 and children's groups with £400. We are very grateful to both funds. 

Unfortunately receipts through membership subscription were down by about 6% despite an increase in member households by 10% and stands at £4,715. This was mainly due to some existing members failing to pay their annual subscription. 

Collections and donations incl. GASDS were roughly at the same level as last year with a total of £2,737, with an upward change of about 4% for collections and a downward change of about 4% for donations. Online shopping giving (Easyfundraising, Amazon Smile, DONR) on the other hand decreased by 24% to £173. This fluctuation is mainly due to a single high value item in the previous year, which is very rare. The Gift Aid claim this year amounted to £1,640, an increase of almost 10% compared  to the year before due to increased donations in 2020. 

Rental income is now back at around 75% of pre-Covid levels with £5,605, an increase of 50% compared to last year. Fundraising receipts increased even more, by 64% compared to the extremely low level in 2020 due to Covid 19, and amounted to £1,584. This reflects that we were able to hold the St. Martin lantern parade and an Advent cafe in addition to an online Advent bazaar. 

Our share (23%) of the pastoral region (PAB) receipts amounts to £806. 

Receipts through interest of £468 are down by 21% compared to last year. This is mostly due to lower interest rates in general and moving funds from a 1yr bond into a 95d notice account. On the other hand, the re-evaluation of our investments increased by 115% to £1,141 in total compared to last year. This is spread across the restricted COIF sinking fund and our new long term growth COIF fund into which we started drip-feeding £6,745 according to our Investment Policy. 

We had receipts of £744 in total of various kinds which are made up by rent and key deposits of new tenants (£320), genealogy searches (£30), a £40 refund for excess payment to the synod, a £310 adjustment to our share of the PAA account and £44 Manchester annual contributions to the COIF sinking fund. 

We managed to keep the outgoing costs of the German Church of Liverpool 13% below last year’s expenditure with £18,912 in total, including forwarding donations. This is mainly due to reduced electricity and building maintenance and repair bills. 

5 



The biggest payment is the synod contribution of £11,960 which includes our share for the pastors’ salary and is the same as last year, but will rise to £13,225 next year. Our share of the pastoral region (PAB) payments of £1,463 is 12% less than last year as planned manse repairs did not take place. 

Building and garden related fixed costs (insurance, services, repairs and cleaning) amount to another large expense with £3,640 in total. This is still a reduction of 40% compared to last year. Building and liability Insurance was £1,631 which is only up by less than 3% and utility costs of £1,020 were reduced compared to last year by 45% as we no longer had to pay off a previous underpayment of electricity costs and due to reduced lettings we had lower electricity consumption. We are on a two year fixed contract for electricity that lasts until August this year, so we are protected from the recent increases in energy costs until then. Regular building services (emergency lighting, fire-alarm and fire-extinguisher services, including subsequent remedial work) and repairs amounted to £540. Further payments in relation to the building include cleaning of £251, locksmith callout of £74, consumables of £84 and a shredder for £37. All garden services have been conducted by volunteers and did not incur any expenditure. 

The net result for the year was an excess of payments over receipts of £16,575. This brings the year end result to a total of £96,031 of which £91,926 are outside of restricted funds. £31,182 are held in current accounts, £2,553 are held in the PAB current account, £5,417 are held in savings accounts, £500 are held in NS&I income bonds, £20,000 are held in a 95d notice account and £25,000 are held in a 1 year bond, £7,275 are held in the COIF long term growth fund. The restricted COIF sinking fund amounts to £4,104. 

## Restricted Funds 

The COIF sinking fund of £4,104 is restricted as laid out in the Scheme of 1988. 

## Designated Funds 

The following designated funds were allocated for particular purposes: building preservation £30,000, meeting hall refurbishment £15,000, building maintenance £3,000, pastors’ salary reserve fund of £16,200 (the Liverpool share of £60000 pastors’ salary reserves), the Liverpool share of the pastors’ 2021 salary of £11,960, pastor’s car fund of £3,000, and the Liverpool share of PAA account of £2,553. In addition to this £850 were allocated to tenants’ rent and key deposits. The sum of all designated funds is £82,563. 

## Reserves policy 

The German Church of Liverpool is reliant on rental income for about a quarter of our total receipts. It is the goal of the trustees to hold between 3 and 6 months of core costs in reserve. This equates to £5,000-£10,000. The amount of designated funds and restricted funds is £86,668. This results in a reserve of £9,363 at the end of the year and falls within this aim. 

## Transfers 

Several transfers between accounts were made in line with regular transactions as well as the investment policy. £16,486 were transferred out from the matured United Trust 1yr bond into the new 95d Redwood Bank notice account and this was topped up to £20,000 by a further transfer of £3,514 from the Cooperative Bank current account. £6,745 were drip fed from the Cooperative Bank current account to the new long-term growth COIF fund. £287 interest of the matured United Trust 1yr bond was transferred to the Cooperative Bank current account. £44 received from the Manchester parish were transferred to the COIF sinking fund to cover their 2020/21 contributions to the fund. Lloyds Bank closed our old savings account and transferred £6 to our LLoyds current account. 

It has not been our policy to capitalise our fixed assets: 

1. Our church building (including hall) is insured for the sum of £658,137 

2. Contents are insured for £29,016. 

6 



3. All risks (silver ware) are insured for £17,447. 

4. Liverpool share (23%) of pastors' car (Ford Fiesta) 

5. 60% share of the manse and the land upon which it stands in Manchester.
