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 (until 31.8.23), 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

For this purpose, it is vital that we maintain the church building and integrated community hall.

Achievements and Performance

Recruitment of a new pastor

An important activity of the first half of this year was the recruitment of a successor for our long-serving pastors, Diemut Cramer and Olaf Burghardt, who returned to Germany in autumn after they had reached the end of their term. After a selection process where the candidate, Rev. Christa Hunziger, introduced herself to the congregations of the PAB and interviews with church members in all congregations, she was elected with a large majority. We had the opportunity to thank Diemut and Olaf at a farewell party for all congregations of the PAB in Manchester and at our summer fete in Liverpool. Because Christa Hunziger’s original start date in September was delayed, the trustees had to take over more responsibilities for the services in the second half of the year. Fortunately, Christa Hunziger will now be able to start as the new pastor of the PAB in spring 2024.

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.

Apart from fortnightly services and regular events that we organise in and around the church, the PAB has established additional virtual meetings which include regular online services, bible study sessions, brief morning meditations in the week before Easter as well as our living Advent calendar. These events have increased the interaction between members of the different congregations and have instilled a greater sense of community.

Our church also provides room for two other congregations as well as some local groups such as a choir and the Russian-speaking society, and the German honorary consul’s surgeries

.

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 specific family services in order to offer families the possibility to worship together. This service format helps to attract 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.

Our services are open to all, irrespective of denomination. Currently we have 84 registered (74 paid up fully) members in 42 households, of which 21 are 18 years or younger.

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.

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. The family retreat in Thornthwaite could take place again this year and was well-attended by families from all PAB congregations. The singing and church retreat were combined and took place in October in Fulneck.

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 Family Refugee Support Project 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. Regular emails supplement this with current or urgent information.

We support one German-speaking children and family group which normally meets monthly in our hall or garden. 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. Our St. Martin lantern parade has been especially popular and well-attended in the last years. Our Christmas fair which is

celebrated with an advent cafe is the largest event in our event calendar - a Christmas fair in combination with an Advent cafe in the church. In recent years we organised cultural events after our afternoon Sunday services (“Kultursonntage”) for a wider audience than regular visitors to our church. In the last year, the German Church contributed to the new Liverpool European Festival, an event organised by a wide range of organisations, which is planned to take place annually. Via events like these, the German church also gives German-speaking people who move to the Liverpool region opportunities for getting in touch with the German community.

We rent out our building to community and neighbourhood groups, two churches and a choir on a regular or irregular basis and therefore provide a place to meet for the neighbourhood and wider community.

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.

The German Church Liverpool is a member of the German-speaking Synod of Lutheran, reformed and united congregations in Great-Britain. Brigitte Jurack represented the German Church of Liverpool as elected synod representative 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. 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 in Liverpool. This year the Nordic church invited us to celebrate the Reformation Day service together with them and our church contributed to the Remembrance Sunday service in the Anglican cathedral. 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 such as 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.

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 shows a surplus of £5,577, or £8,090 including investment value increases. This was helped greatly by another year with a healthy rental income due to a new renter and film crews renting the church building again, an increase in donations, fundraising and grant income, and higher interest rates, and higher investment valuations. Financially beneficial was further that the synod fee was reduced to £8,917, 65% of the expected amount, due to the delay in the start date of the new minister that is now forecast to be May 2024 and no salary was due between September and December 2023.

We successfully applied to 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) for extra funding for German cultural and language projects and for the support of the social work of the German Church of Liverpool and we received £1,226. In addition we applied to the Duchy of Lancaster benevolent fund for funding the replacement of the existing toilets to make them mobility impaired friendly and received 1,000. We also applied to the Council of Lutheran Churches for a grant to offset unexpected electricity costs for which we received £1,094. And, lastly, we applied to the LIverpool European Festival for support of the activities carried out within the framework of the Liverpool European Festival as the German contribution and received £336. We are very grateful to all funding bodies.

Our receipts through membership subscription stayed almost the same with £5,057.

Collections and donations incl. GASDS increased to £3,950, with donations more than doubling while collects reduced by 13% which can be attributed to the lack of a minister leading the services since summer. Online shopping giving (Easyfundraising, Amazon Smile, DONR) increased by 240% to £186. The Gift Aid claim this year stayed almost the same as last year’s with £1,676 as the sum of subscriptions, collections and donations roughly stayed the same in the previous tax year, which is different to our financial year.

Rental income was almost the same as last year’s record figure with £11,227. Fundraising receipts increased this year again, by a healthy 68% and amounted to £3,714. This reflects that we were able to hold the St. Martin lantern parade, an Advent cafe and bazaar, plus a Sommerfest for the first time since the pandemic.

Our share (24%) of the pastoral region (PAA) receipts amounts to £2,405 and includes our share of the sale of the minister’s car after the departure of our previous ministers.

Receipts through interest have almost tripled compared to last year and amount to £1,767. This is due to higher interest rates. Though, the interest rises still do not balance out the capital loss through inflation. Our investments weathered the markets in 2023 quite well, and reversed last year's negative re-evaluation with a plus of £2,576. This is spread across the restricted COIF sinking fund and our long term growth COIF fund.

We had receipts of £160 in total of various kinds which came from genealogy searches and small sales.

The outgoing costs of the German Church of Liverpool decreased by 11% compared to last year with £28,225. The main causes for this are the reduction of the synod fee down to 65% to £8,917, but this was partially offset by again increased energy costs which have risen by 51% and stand at £3669 (including the water bill). The electricity bill depends to a large extent on the number of tenants, but the increased electricity cost is reflected in a higher hall hire fee.

Our share of the pastoral region (PAB) payments is £6,925. This includes the substantial refurbishment of the Manse of which our share amounts to £4,320.

5

Building and garden related costs excluding utilities (insurance, services, repairs and cleaning) amount to another large expense with £5,466 in total. Building and liability Insurance was £1,8978 which is up by 5%. Regular building services (emergency lighting, fire-alarm and fire-extinguisher services, including subsequent remedial work) and repairs amounted to £751. Further payments in relation to the building include cleaning of £355, pest control callout of £197, consumables of £26 and light bulb for £22. All garden services have been conducted by volunteers and did not incur any expenditure.

This brings the year end result to a total of £98,698 of which £94,495 is outside of restricted funds. £25,771 are held in current accounts, £237 are held in the PAB current account, £5,630 are held in the savings account, £500 are held in NS&I income bonds (0.35%-2.32%), £20,000 are held in a 95d notice account and £25,000 are held in a 1 year bond, £17,355 are held in the COIF long term growth fund. The restricted COIF sinking fund amounts to £4,203.

Restricted Funds

The COIF sinking fund of £4,302 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, hall refurbishment and landscaping £7,846 left at the end of the year, 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 £237. In addition to this £500 were allocated to tenants’ rent and key deposits. The sum of all designated funds is £72,743.

Reserves policy

It is the goal of the trustees to hold between 3 and 6 months of core costs in reserve. This equates to £8000-£16,000. The amount of designated funds and restricted funds is £76,946. This results in a reserve of £21,751 at the end of the year which falls above this aim.

Transfers

Several transfers between accounts were made in line with regular transactions as well as the investment policy.

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

  1. Our church building (including hall) is insured for the sum of £799,636

  2. Contents are insured for £34,964.

  3. All risks (silver ware) are insured for £20,511.

  4. Liverpool share (24%) of pastors' car (Ford Fiesta)

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