The Treasurer notes that this figure is not necessarily reflective of the whole financial year and that additional funds will be required to meet future Circuit demands.
What the accounts disclose
“The Church is able to manage and break even this year, given the reduced payment to Circuit. However, in order to meet what the Circuit is likely to demand for 2025/26, additional funds will need to be raised.”
