TEMPLATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT
These template financial statements have been prepared on behalf of the Finance Panel of the Support Services Committee of the General Council. They provide an outline of the format in which congregations electing to prepare Receipts and Payments Accounts should prepare their financial statements. Accounts prepared in accordance with this format are designed to be suitable for the purpose of filing accounts with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland.
Please note that the congregations approved financial statements will need to be submitted to the Charity Commission in pdf format.
It is not possible to cover every situation in a set of template accounts and therefore congregations may wish to take their own professional advice if considered necessary.
Text that appears in these template accounts in red will need to be updated for the congregation’s circumstances.
Information to assist congregations in prepare their accounts is included in the supporting guidance note.

STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT
The Kirk Session
The charity trustees of the congregation are the members of its Kirk Session. Under the congregation’s governing document, The Code, the book of the constitution and government of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, the Kirk Session seeks to watch over and promote the spiritual interest of the congregation and of persons not connected with any congregation who are within its bounds. It ensures pastoral care is in place in the congregation and seeks to further the contribution of the Church to Christian witness and service in the local community. The Kirk Sessions has delegated to its Congregational Committee the temporal affairs of the congregation including administering all funds and property belonging to the congregation. Members of the Kirk Session are ex-officio members of the Congregational Committee.
The Kirk Session consists of the ordained minister and the ruling elders of the congregations. All members are entitled to propose, speak and exercise equal votes at meetings, except that the Moderator, the ministers in active duty in the congregation, has no deliberative but only a casting vote.
Stated meetings of the Kirk session are held five times per year and on further occasions, as required.
To be chosen for the office of the eldership in the congregation a person must be a voting member and a regular attendant on its ordinances. The selection of those proposed to be called to the office can be either by the congregation or by the Kirk Session. Members are elected if they obtain two-thirds of those who vote.
Presbytery
Under the Presbyterian Church in Ireland form of governance the corporate oversight of a congregation is the responsibility of a Presbytery which superintends generally the spiritual and temporal affairs of the congregations assigned to it by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Castlecaulfield congregation of the Presbyterian Church has been assigned to the Tyrone Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The membership of the Presbytery consists mainly of the active ministers of congregations
4
assigned to it by the General Assembly, minsters who have retired from active duty and an elder appointed by the Kirk Session of the congregation.

The General Assembly
The General Assembly is the supreme court of the Church, representing in one body the whole Church and acting as its supreme legislative, administration and judicial authority, in dealing with all matters brought before it. The General Assembly is normally constituted during the first week in June for worship and to conduct its business. At the end of business it is dissolved. The membership of the General Assembly consists mainly of the active ministers of each congregation, retired minsters and a representative elder appointed by the Kirk Session of each congregation.
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The charitable purpose of the congregation is the advancement of religion.
Castlecaulfield congregation of the Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The Presbyterian Church in Ireland, as a Reformed Church within the wider body of Christ is grounded in the Scriptures, and exists to love and honour God through faith in His Son and by the power of His Spirit, and to enable her members to play their part in fulfilling God’s mission to our world.
The congregations mission purposes is “to encourage people to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ; to see them grow in their faith and become full members of Christ’s body, so that they will serve God, and have fellowship with other believers, using their grace gifts to advance His kingdom in the world in order to magnify His name.”
ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES
The congregation meets for worship every Sunday and visitors are welcome to join us. The Sacrament of the Lords Supper (communion) is observed on several occasions during the year and all those who have been baptised and who have made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are admitted to the Lord’s Supper. The congregation holds regular Bible studies and prayer gatherings and has a wide range of organisations including:
-
Sunday School
-

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The congregation normally meets for worship each Sunday at 10:30am and we have an evening church on the last Sunday of each month at 7pm and this is held jointly between ourselves and our sister congregation of Eglish Presbyterian Church. During the week the Midweek Bible Study provides an opportunity for members to meet together for fellowship, to study the scriptures and for a time of prayer, and again this is held between ourselves and our friends in Eglish.
As well as our regular services during the year we acknowledged God’s gift of new life at two Baptisms, and gave thanks for faithful services and sought to comfort those who had been bereaved during the year.
At 31 December 2023 there were 142 communicant members and 108 families connected with the congregation. The average week attendance at morning worship is 75.
Pastoral care
Members of the congregation who are unable to attend church due to sickness or age are visited on a regular basis by the minister, or elders.
Mission and outreach
At a local level the congregation continued to show a missionary outlook as the members sought to live out their faith in their homes and workplaces etc, wherever God has placed them, whilst seeking to share the good news of the Lord Jesus with those who live in the village and in the countryside around the church.
Alongside that, the congregation continued to support those involved in Christian work further afield; hosting speakers, giving financially and praying for the work of Tearfund, OMS, Wycliffe Bible Translators, and Good News for Everyone, amongst others.

CASTLECAULFIELD CONGREGATION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (cont’d)
The congregation supports the United Appeal for Mission which is a central fund of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. This fund enables congregations to support the wider mission of the denomination and to do mission and outreach on a denominational basis beyond what the congregation could do on its own. The United Appeal Fund provides financial support for mission personnel at home and overseas, assists congregations with the deployment of locally based staff, enables church planting, provides grant support for the upkeep of church premises, assist with the running costs of Union Theological College, the Church’s training college for ministry students, and financially supports congregation in the areas of worship, discipleship, global mission, outreach, leadership and pastoral care.
Presbytery
The congregation was represented at the regular meetings of Presbytery by our minister and / or one of the elders. This provides an important link between the congregations and the wider structures of the church.
General Assembly
The minister and one of our elders were nominated to attend the meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland held in Assembly Buildings, Belfast, in June.
Property
No major repairs or refurbishment to report.
Organisations
Our church hall and facilities are well used both by our members and the wider local community during the week.
-
The Brownies moved this year to a Tuesday evening and had their usual busy programme of activities.
-
Wednesday mornings there is plenty of noise and fun to be had in the hall when “Tots and Co” toddler group meet. Usually there were around 25 toddlers from across the community playing along with their parents or carers.
-
Guides moved to the early Wednesday evening slot and saw an encouraging growth in numbers over the course of the year.
-
Wednesday evenings also sees our weekly Bible Study and Prayer time - held jointly with our friends from Eglish.
-
On Thursday evenings the Rainbows group had another enjoyable year whilst the PW group would regularly meet downstairs, a little later in the evening
7
-
During the course of the year the choir and committees also met to practice and plan for the services and work of the church
-
Youth Fellowship (joint with Eglish) met on alternate Sunday evenings and saw a healthy group of young people coming along.
Volunteers
Obviously, none of these activities could have taken place without the great commitment of the leaders and so the Trustees wish to acknowledge their deep appreciation of those who give so freely of their time and talents in helping with organisations and other church activities.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its members and the general public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of religion.
The direct benefits which flow from the purposes of the Church include the gaining of an understanding in Christian beliefs as set out in the Bible and in the Church’s subordinate standards (the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms) leading to spiritual and moral development and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework leads to practical expressions of Christian beliefs and standards in the local community such as through the care of those in need (including the sick, disabled and bereaved).
Generally the above benefits are delivered locally by congregations and their members, or are facilitated through presbyteries or are organised and delivered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by central resources in almost all cases. Public access is made known through the use of noticeboards, printed material, press advertisement, websites, and social media or in other ways.
The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the services and informal and ad-hoc feedback from members, their families, and members of the public.
The purpose does not lead to harm. The only private benefit flowing from our purpose is related to Ministers, Missionaries, Deaconesses, Irish Mission workers and Lay Agents who receive benefits as a result of their holding office or employment. However, this is incidental
8
and necessary in order to further our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The beneficiaries of this purpose are members, their families, other individuals that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide which benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other secular organisations, charities and individual members of the public.
The Kirk Session has had regard to the Charity Commissions Public benefit requirement statutory guidance.
