Trustees, Annual Re

ear ended 31 December 2023
The Trustees present the annual report and statements of Receipts and Payments and Assets and Liabilities
for the Church for the year ended 31 December 2023
Objectives and Actlvltles
The charitable purpose of the Church of Ireland is the advancement of the Christian religion.
The principal function ofthe Parish of Christ Church Castledawson is to support the advancement ofthe Christian
religion by promoting, through their work, the whole mission of the Church., pastoral, evangelical, social and
ecumenical. Being open to and engaging with society as a whole and offering support to those needing help are
fundamental to the practical delivery of the benefits of Christianity.
As a result of activity in the pursuit of the advancement of the Christian religion, the Parish of Christ Church
Castledawson has custody of property and of records, materials and artefacts of significance to the cultural and
religious heritage and maintenance of which is undertaken by the Select Vestry of the Parish of Christ Church
Castledawson.
The actlvltles of the charlty
At the heart of Christ Church Parish is a passionate desire to glorify God and demonstrate His love. This was
achieved through our varied Sunday services which took place at 10am, 11:30am and occasionally {monthly} at
8'.30am and 6pm.
Additional events and special services took place during Christian festival seasons such as Lent,. Holy Week.,
Easter, Harvest, Remembrance Sunday, Advent and Christmas.
Sunday School is a vital part of what we do as a church. Each Sunday from September- June (except the last
Sunday in the month when we have an all-age service) Sunday School classes are held in our parish halls for
children from age 4-16 years.
Our Sunday School offers various age groups a chance to explore God's word and enjoy fellowship in a relaxed
and welcoming atmosphere. We also have a crèche facility which caters for under 4 years.
Other church groups including Women's Fellowship, mid-week Prayer Meeting and Bible Study, Bowling Club,
Dance Class, Mums and Tots, and Home groups provide opportunities to enjoy fellowship with each other and
be built up by one another in a practical Christian focused way.
Our Halls are also normally used to regularly facilitate, Scouts,. worship band practice, ladies bible study groups,
prayer meetings, and 2 local community based choin8. Occasional hall use would include funeral teas and various
fundraising activities.
In addition to Sunday and other Church services such as funerals and weddings our church building is used for
church choir practices.
The Rectory is used to facilitate marriage preparation classes, confirmation preparation classes, occasional
vestry meetings, occasional strategy group meetings and other private pastoral consultations throughout the
year.
We recognise that there are issues in our Parish for individuals that stem from sickness, bereavement, ageing,
incapacity, and those receiving medical ireatment, care in both hospitals and local nursing homes. We are
committed to helping these people in need with empathy, sympathy, love and compassion. This is done through
occasional visits, the offer of private Holy Communion and prayer. Helping those in need, in this way, is a
demonstration of our faith, 'we try to do as Jesus did!,

Christ Church Castledawson
Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 (contlnued)
We also actively seek to reach out into our community through a range of caring and educational programmes
for young people. These projects include Sunday School, young people's group, Ambassadors Football holiday
bible club. Our Church also supports a reading assistance programme (Equipping for Life) in the local school with
volunteers from our parish offering 1 hr per week each to help children in the school with their literacy. Our
'Christmas Lights Tractor Run, and our King's Coronation Event in May served as a means of engaging with and
blessing all age groups in the wider community.
Fund raising
The purpose of our charitable fundraising is not only for our own costs, for example, our General Church Fund
or Mustard Seed Fund but also for a variety of charitable needs e.g. our Pentecost barbecue (in support of
Christian Aid) along with other social events aimed at supporting other charitable causes, such events served as
opportunities to improve social cohesion, reduce social i501ation and bring a greater sense of togetherness.
This is a tangible demonstration of our mission and outreach and awareness that, as Christians, we are called to
support a range of good causes.
Activities such as concerts, birthday parties and other fund-raising events including.. Car Boot Sales. Family Fun
Night and Duck Race. Charity Golf Day., Table Quiz. Car Treasure Hunt. Autumn Tractor Run,. were open to the
whole of the church and also the wider community
At all times we keep in mind our Safeguarding Trust policy, Health and Safety requirements and catering
regulations.
We have endeavoured to adhere to the Charity Commission for Northern Irpland's guidance on public benefit to
ensure that the activities entered into durlng the year have helped to benefit the whole of the community and
achieve the Parish's objectives.
Mlsslons and evangellsm
Another part of the vision for Christ Church Castledawson is the outreach to the local community with events
such as our recently put together Community Choir which is made up of a cross section of singers from various
faith based groups in the local community. This year due to increased running costs and a basically static income
our usual annual financial giving in support of missionary societies unfortunately couldn't happen.
However support of overseas missions continued with support of different missionary societies abroad such as..
Christian Aid- The Leprosy Mission and The Bishop's Appeal (see financial report).
Achievements, Performance & Publlc Beneflt
Central to the work at all levels in the Parish is teaching God's word, to bring parishioners into a deeper
relationship, knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, so that they are thoroughly
equipped and empowered to reach out into the community, both within and beyond the Parish boundaries.
Christ Church continues to offer a range of services over the course of the year that we hope our community find
both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. We further hope that all who enter our buildings do so feeling welcome,
safe, warm and secure.
Our continuing desire is to reach out to all, seeking to transform the local community and build a Christ centred
congregation which will be a witness for Jesus Christ and work for the advancement of His Kingdom.
The direct benefit of participation in Church life includes the enjoyment of public worship and giving and receiving
of pastoral ministry, improved understanding of Holy Scripture, increased application of Christian biblical morals
and ethics and improved values relating to civic engagement.

Christ Church Castledawson
Trustees, Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
The expression of the precepts of the Christian religion through engagement with the general public, both in
person and (when practicable) online, and in particularwith the disadvantaged, the sick, the elderly and the young
is a public benefit. This can normally be measured and evidenced through pastoral visitstion, increased social
integration and pastoral care delivered at the point of need.
Overall, the beneficiaries of Christ Church Castledawson are the general public and the public valuation of the
benefits can be evidenced through attendance at public worship, participation in Church governance and
willingness to support the continuing witness of the Church through financial contributions. The wider benefit to
the public is the availability of a place for worshipping in the course of Christian outreach and the facilitation of
weddings. funerals, baptisms and confirmations.
Any private benefit arising out of the fulfilment of our Christian ministry or to lay staff is essential to the fulfilment
for the purpose of religion. No elected Trustee receives remuneration, reward or other private benefit for carrying
out their Trustee responsibility.
Also, the direct benefits flowing from the purpose of the Church includes the provision of archive records, public
enjoyment of historic buildings and artefacts such as Church plate, furnishings and materials as an overall
improved appreciation of a longstanding Christian heritage. This is demonstrated through on-going provision of
access to records and the use made of these records in, for example, research and genealogy, through
conservation efforts in respect of records, property and artefacts and the subsequent requests for access and
use of our materials by the wider society. We sometimes receive requests for family information from individuals
from around the world.
To mitigate risk of harm to any persons, the Trustees ensure adequate health and safety measures are in place
at Christ Church. Also, child protection (Safeguarding Trust Policy), Access Nl checks and training opportunities
are in place for those involved in children and youth work or working with Adults at Risk,
No private benefit is received from Trustees fulfilling their responsibilities in respect of buildings, artefacts or
records. In the course of conservation and to make records accessible to the public, no professional staff is
engaged for the fulfilment of the purpose. The beneficiaries are solely the general public.
Flnanclal Revlew
The results for the year are set out on page 8, which the Trustees consider to be satisfactory.
The reserves of the Parish are held for the advancement of its charitable purpose, other than restricted
reserves which are held for a designated purpose- see note 15.
Golng Concern
The Trustees have reviewed the budgets for the year ahead and are satisfied that there are adequate funds in
place to ensure that the Parish can continue its activities and the financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2023 can be signed off as a going concern.
