1 Summary

St John’s Kingston Park is a Local Ecumenical Partnership – one church, with members of four denominations meeting together. We have just over a hundred members. We’re keen to engage with our local community and to build each other up in our walk with Christ. Church members are widely involved in worship and church activities. We employ a part-time children’s worker and have good links with our local primary school and other organisations, as well as our own established children’s work. Worship is varied, with two services on Sundays and a midweek service. As an LEP, we are part of all our denominations: Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed. We seek to draw the best from all our traditions in worship, and ensure that all our denominations are represented by inviting visiting ministers to lead worship as well as our own ministers and lay worship leaders.

Kingston Park is a suburban parish of about 7000 people on the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne. It’s a pleasant and expanding residential area, with good facilities, including primary schools, shopping areas and transport links.

We are now looking to appoint a half-time Anglican minister, who will work in partnership with our half-time Methodist minister.

2 The broader context

2.1 The area

Kingston Park is a suburban area on the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne, with a little over seven thousand people and three thousand households. Further housing development is underway on former farmland. Local facilities are good, with a shopping centre and large supermarket, schools, GP, dentist, and bus and metro links. There is easy access to the city centre and to the surrounding region, including the beautiful countryside and coast of Northumberland and the historic city of Durham.

Newcastle upon Tyne is a vibrant city with excellent facilities including shops, hospitals, arts venues and museums, sports facilities and a good public transport network. The universities and colleges attract a large number of students.

2.2 Relationship with the wider Church

St John’s is a single-congregation Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) of four denominations: Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed. We celebrated our 41st anniversary in 2019.

St. John’s is in Central Deanery of the Newcastle upon Tyne Diocese. As a Methodist Church, we are in Newcastle upon Tyne Central and East Circuit of the Newcastle upon Tyne District. We are also a Baptist Church in the Northern Baptist Association, and a United Reformed Church in the Northern Synod.

As a 4-way LEP, we send representatives to Deanery Synod, the Circuit Meeting, the URC Northern Synod, and the Northern Baptist Association. We have accredited lay preachers from three of our denominations at present. Our giving to the denominations is ecumenically agreed. As an LEP, St John’s is supported by a Local Advisory Group, with members appointed by the denominations and North-East Churches Acting Together.

There are great advantages in being an Ecumenical Partnership. Although we are not the only church on the estate (a small independent church meets in the Community Centre), we are a visible sign of unity. Most of our members do not see themselves or other members as Anglican, Baptist, Methodist or United Reformed, we are just members of St. John’s. We try to take the best and most appropriate traditions from each of our denominations, and there are opportunities to participate in what’s going on in all our denominations. For example, we have shared in Circuit services for Palm Sunday, and in 2018 we took part in Newcastle Diocese’s Pathways Mission.

There are some drawbacks. Our structures are rather complicated, and it can be hard to find representatives to all the denominational bodies and to deal with the policies and administrative requirements of four denominations. In some cases, we have chosen one denomination’s policy to follow. We have not been able to participate as fully in the activities of our denominational groupings as we might like.

In terms of relationships with neighbouring parishes, the new and planned housing in our area does not always fit well with existing boundaries. In particular, the northernmost part of the parish, which is part of Newcastle Great Park, is separated from the rest of the estate by open land (and a large detour by road). This area contains recent housing and Brunton First School. It is in practice much better served by the neighbouring Parish of Christ the King alongside other parts of the same development, and a boundary change to transfer this area is underway. (With regard to our other denominations, we have a less defined area.)

3 The minister we need

This is a 0.5 FTE post. The person appointed will work in partnership with our half-time Methodist minister, with an appropriate division of responsibilities. Important priorities for St John’s in the near future will include developing and strengthening links with the community and the groups that use our building, along with fostering the spiritual growth of the congregation and developing our individual and corporate discipleship and witness.

We are seeking a minister with these characteristics.

Essential characteristics.

1. A person of deep faith, whose ministry is rooted in prayer and Scripture. 2. Able to work sensitively in an ecumenical setting, and with a congregation which

encompasses a broad range of traditions and viewpoints. 3. Approachable, able to relate well to a wide variety of people. 4. An empowering, enabling leader, able to motivate others, whose approach is

genuinely collaborative whilst remaining true to him/herself. 5. Someone with good communication and team-working skills, who is willing to work

in partnership with a clergy colleague and with lay people. 6. Gifted and experienced in reaching out to people, both inside and outside the

church, and willing to get involved with people in the community. 7. Committed to supporting the congregation in developing our discipleship and

mission, outreach and community relations. 8. Able to encourage and motivate individuals in discipleship, service, and the

development and use of their gifts. 9. Able to communicate clearly in an interesting and engaging way, and to help the

congregation to apply God’s word to their lives. 10. A compassionate person, able to provide pastoral care to people within and outside

the church.

Desirable characteristics

11. Someone who can help us develop our worship and who is open to a variety of worship styles, drawing on our denominational traditions, and including contemporary music and the use of IT.

12. Able to strengthen and encourage the work with children and young people.

4 About Kingston Park

The parish of Kingston Park occupies 2.8 square miles on the northern outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne. At the 2011 census, the population was 6959, in 2,853 households; new building has added to both these figures.

The area is basically suburban; Kingston Park itself is a pleasant and largely residential area, laid out in a series of 'courts' with green spaces and pedestrian routes across the estate. The parish also includes areas of former agricultural land, much of which is scheduled for housing development.

Kingston Park has a large supermarket which attracts shoppers from miles around, a neighbourhood shopping centre with high-profile shops, and a trading estate. This adds up to a considerable retail area, and the resulting traffic is considered a serious problem by local residents. The Newcastle Falcons' rugby ground is within the parish, and match days bring crowds to the area.

There are currently two primary schools. Kingston Park Primary School is centrally located and popular; the church has a longstanding good relationship with this school. Brunton First School is on the northern boundary of the parish in Newcastle Great Park. Older children travel to schools in Gosforth, Kenton, Ponteland or elsewhere.

The area is not noted for any particular social problems, though there have been some issues with vandalism, antisocial behaviour and minor crime of late. There is some concern in the community about the lack of activities for teenagers. When we consulted members of the community about the needs of the area and what the church might offer, people expressed interest in activities that would reduce social isolation and bring people together.

The area consists almost entirely of modern housing, much of which was built during the 1970's. There were originally a high proportion of young families, but the age of the population is thought to be gradually rising.

The largest of the current housing developments, Newcastle Great Park, is being built in several phases. Whilst some of the new homes in the parish are adjacent to Kingston Park, others have no easy road link; a proposed change to parish boundaries will better reflect the layout of the estate. Elsewhere, more houses are under construction, and current planning applications, if approved, would add around 900 homes to the parish of Kingston Park.

5 About the church

5.1 The church and its people

5.1.1 The church family

As a Local Ecumenical Partnership, we record our membership on a Common Roll. This consisted (in April 2018) of 107 members; there are also a small number of children, young people and other adults who attend regularly. This is the year for full roll revision, which is underway at the time of writing. We recently welcomed ten new members, however, we expect that numbers on the roll will drop overall. Some church members have a denominational affiliation, while those who were confirmed at St John's are 'joint' members belonging to all four denominations.

Anglican: 37 Children (0-10) 12 Methodist: 20 Young people (11-17) 7 Baptist: 17 Adults 18-69 85 URC: 12 Adults (70+) 25 Joint: 21

Total: 107 Total: 129

Membership by denomination

Age breakdown of worshippers

Half of these live within the parish. Most of the rest live in neighbouring areas, while a few travel from further away. Average Sunday attendance on normal Sundays in 2018 was 74.

Our wider worshipping community at the end of 2018 included 128 people. In recent years, the age profile has been gradually rising and the number of children and young people falling; whilst adult members cover a wide spread of ages, we do have a sizeable group who are now in their fifties and sixties.

The number of occasional offices is low: in 2018 there was one infant baptism and one believer’s baptism. There were no weddings, and four funerals in church and elsewhere. Some years ago, the number of infants being baptised was much higher than it is now. It is known that, in recent years, aspects of our baptism policy have been a barrier to some families on the estate. We are now taking a more open approach, and the number of infant baptisms has started to rise again.

St. John’s is not just ecumenical in terms of denominational affiliation: it is also a broad church. We would expect to be strengthened by whatever tradition our new minister brings, while they will need to appreciate that the church as a whole unites many traditions, and must be able to work with and encourage those of different traditions.

5.1.2 Ordained Ministry

Since the church was established, there has been full time Anglican ministry. At one time, there were also fractional appointments of ministers of our other denominations. It is now some years since we have had more than one minister, and the decision to seek two ministers working in partnership is an exciting opportunity for co-operation between our denominations.

Revd. Adele Moorhouse joined us in September 2018 on a half-time basis as our Methodist minister. Adele comes to us from Cramlington, where she led three churches within the South East Northumberland Ecumenical Area. She is keen to encourage and strengthen links with the community. Also, two Supernumerary (retired) Methodist ministers worship with us and provide some sacramental ministry.

5.1.3 The church at worship

St John's uses a variety of types of service. Most services are informal in nature; we rarely use a printed order of service except for Holy Communion, and the projector is extensively used. We try to include elements of worship from all our denominations and to include ministers from each denomination in the worship programme, but in practice the Anglican and Methodist traditions have been more strongly represented than United Reformed and Baptist, because of the availability of ministers. Whilst there is a wide range of liturgical traditions (sacramental with traditional liturgies, contemporary lively worship, reflective spirituality, etc.), we would be considered “low church”.

Morning worship and Fusion are supported by the worship band; the choir makes occasional contributions. We are seeking to broaden our range of worship styles, and have been experimenting with all age Café Church services, and services led by the choir and band.

10

There is considerable lay involvement in worship. Services are often led by our lay preachers. Members of the congregation serve on a rota basis to lead intercessions, read the Scriptures, act as Communion servers, stewards and welcomers, and carry out other supporting tasks. The Worship Planning Group (which includes the minister and lay members) provides direction regarding the content of Sunday services.

For Holy Communion, we generally use an order of service based on Common Worship Order One, prayer H, or a Methodist order. Occasionally there is a more informal liturgy or a service following Baptist or United Reformed traditions. Evening and midweek Communion services generally use an order based on Common Worship prayer A or a Methodist order, but could again follow the tradition of a visiting minister. Children are admitted to communion. Non-alcoholic wine is used at all morning Communion services and others where the minister's tradition requires it.

5.1.4 Church Life

a) Learning and sharing

There are two house groups, which meet weekly. We run an annual Lent course, either centrally or based on the house groups; all church members are encouraged to take part. In 2019, we used some of the ‘Follow me on Monday’ material produced by Newcastle Diocese to help us reflect on our discipleship, and the 2020 course will be on ‘Whole-Life Worship’. There is a small church library and occasional bookstalls.

We offer occasional workshops to support members in sharing their faith. In the past we have run a number of courses for enquirers, such as Alpha and Christianity Explored, and we are currently planning the next of these. The Outreach Group takes the lead in planning these activities.

There is a bi-monthly prayer meeting, and a ‘prayer chain’ for urgent prayer requests. The Prayer Team is responsible for prayer-focused events such as participation in ‘Thy Kingdom Come’. We have just begun to give opportunities for individuals to request prayer at the end of morning services.

St. John’s has a varied programme of social events, usually one a month, which are open to friends outside the church.

b) Administration

The church’s secretary provides administrative support to the minister. Her work includes production of Sunday Service notice sheets and minutes and papers for congregational meetings and Church Council meetings. Church members, with the minister, design publicity materials such as the leaflets distributed to the estate.

The Finance and Property Group takes the lead in matters concerning giving, finance and the church building; it is convened by a churchwarden and includes the treasurer, verger and others with expertise in these areas.

11

c) Pastoral work

St John’s has a Pastoral Care scheme which is entered into voluntarily by church members. There are 18 pastoral carers, organised by a lay co-ordinator, who each look out for a number of people. The scheme works as a safety net, with pastoral carers responding to any immediate needs and keeping in touch with members who attend less often.

Flowers that have been arranged for the Sunday morning services are taken after the service to people who it is thought would benefit from receiving them, such as those who are sick or housebound. Hospital visiting, baptism preparation, and the small number of home communions were undertaken largely by the previous minister, though others are now taking up these roles.

d) Children and young people

St. John’s has a Junior Church which meets alongside morning service except when there is all age worship. There are two age groups: 2 ½ - 6 years and 6-11 years. Genesis, for young people of twelve and over, meets twice a month. Scripture Union material is used in Junior Church, and Genesis uses a range of materials. While numbers of children have fallen in recent years, we are a very energetic group who use a range of styles and approaches to ensure that learning is fun and questions are welcomed. Training is offered to all leaders as and when it is available within denominations.

We encourage children to participate fully within the life of our church. St. John’s has often pioneered new initiatives within children and youth work, gained the Child Friendly Church Award, and was the first ecumenical church in the Diocese to admit children to communion ahead of confirmation. We also support special events for children in church, e.g. Good Friday and Advent activities, ‘Upper Room’ events as preparation for Communion for younger children and their families, and ‘Pumpkin Praise’ as an alternative to Halloween. Holiday Club

To support our outreach to children and families, we employ a part time children’s worker (0.25 FTE) who is developing links with families and the local school.

We have a popular toddler group, Tiny Tots, meeting once a week, whose members are largely not church families.

An annual church holiday club has been running for 24 years. This is a week-long summer programme in August, and while numbers have fluctuated, this event is well established and attracts an encouraging number of children, many of whom are on the fringes of church life.

We have good links with Brownies, Guides and other children’s groups who access the building mid-week.

12

e) Organisational matters

Church governance broadly follows an Anglican model in that there are Wardens and a Parochial Church Council. In practice, the main Church Council is actually the Ecumenical Church Council (ECC), which usually has the same members as the PCC. To complicate matters further, the governing body is technically the Trustees’ meeting, a smaller group than the ECC. However, the Trustees delegate all matters to the ECC/PCC. We have two regular congregational meetings each year, and additional meetings as required. We have sometimes referred solely Baptist or URC matters to a congregational meeting rather than the ECC, as the Church Meeting would normally be the governing body in those churches.

Much of the work of St John’s is carried out through groups that take responsibility for different areas, including Outreach, Social Events, Finance & Property, Prayer and Safeguarding, and also the Planning Group, a subgroup of the ECC which prepares items for consideration by the ECC and ensures that matters are progressed in the months when the ECC does not meet. Most of these (and at present, all) are led by lay people.

5.2 The church and the community it serves

St. John’s has strong links with Kingston Park Primary School which in the past has included the minister serving as a school governor. Monthly assemblies are conducted in school, and groups from the school have visited church. The school choir and recorder group have participated in our Harvest and Christingle services.

We have good links with children and youth groups who use the premises mid-week; these include Tiny Tots (a parent and toddler group, staffed mainly by church members), and Brownies and Guides, who have both completed their Faith badge work. A youth group run by NE Youth has recently opened in the building. For many years, St. John’s Playgroup was an important part of community life; sadly, changes in funding led to its closure in July.

A new development is ‘The Beacon’, a free drop-in coffee morning, open to all, which offers company and a space to talk and ask questions.

The church has also begun to develop links with local organisations and businesses. These and the school have all participated in the annual Christmas Tree Festival, which attracts visitors and church members alike and is growing in popularity. This event has also made links with users of the church premises e.g. Slimming World, bowling club etc. We have developed a good relationship with Cranlea, our local care home, and lead a monthly service there, as well as a special carol service.

Kingston Park Green

13

We offer a varied programme of social events throughout the year. Recent events have included quizzes, concerts, speakers, a beetle drive and an annual pancake party. Events are available to all ages and advertised in the community magazine to all of Kingston Park.

We have run a number of community activities, such as ‘Party in the Park’ and sports days on Kingston Park Green. Church members are active as individuals in several local charities, and we have supported some of these, e.g. by collecting for a food bank. We are currently helping to raise funds for the development of a new play area on the Green.

We give 10% of our income to other charities each year. This includes support for our denominational missionary associations in rotation, and several other charities chosen each year, mostly Christian or locally-based groups. We also raise money for charities, e.g. by carol singing at Christmas; contribute to the Samaritan’s Purse Shoe Box appeal (some of our members are very active in the regional work); and donate harvest gifts to the Salvation Army.

6 The church building and resources

6.1.1 Financial position

In general, income has covered our expenditure and we have been able to set aside a little in the reserves each year. There are no major debts at present. As a result of generous donations, a Mission Fund is available to support outreach activities.

Contributions to all our denominations have been paid in full according to a formula that was agreed some years ago. However, this had led to our giving drifting out of line with other churches, so the formula has been revised and we have had a significant increase in our denominational contributions for 2019, which will be a challenge.

Most regular giving is by standing order, and we make extensive use of Gift Aid. We have an annual Giving Sunday when church members are encouraged to consider their giving to the church. There are currently 64 regular givers.

All ministerial expenses are paid in full on a quarterly basis subject to all claims being supported by receipts.

Our most recent annual accounts can be found in Appendix 6.1

6.1.2 The church building

The church was built in the late 1980s and was first used as a place of worship in 1991. The ground floor comprises a worship area, meeting room, office, toilets and kitchen. There is also a large room upstairs with a kitchenette and adjacent toilet. All rooms apart from the office and kitchen were designed to be used for a range of purposes and can be subdivided.

14

The building is conveniently placed, opposite Kingston Park Shopping Centre and close to the Metro. It is used intensively for a range of church-based and commercial/ charitable/ community based activities. This is a welcome source of income and an opportunity to forge links with the community, but it can sometimes be hard to find space for church events.

Our Finance and Property group oversees building maintenance. A number of regular tasks are handled by church members, including room bookings, locking and unlocking for building users, and some maintenance tasks. We have a Verger, a bookings secretary, and a team of keyholders. We also employ a cleaner.

There is no churchyard, but there is a fenced outside play area and a grassed area with some garden around the church, as well as a small car park. The garden is maintained by a contractor.

6.1.3 The Vicarage

The vicarage, in Shannon Court, is a few minutes’ walk from the church, school and shopping centre, and backs onto Kingston Park Green. Built in the 1970s, it has four bedrooms, three reception rooms, a utility room and an attached garage. The central heating system and the intruder alarm system are regularly maintained.

The vicarage also has an extensive garden to the rear side and front, most of which is currently laid to lawn for ease of maintenance. It also contains a number of heavy-cropping fruit trees and is screened by a range of mature trees and shrubs.
