THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, CROYDON
Designated a Minster in May 2011, we are a living, growing church. Our mission is to reach out and celebrate Gods' unconditional love for the world with all people of our parish and with the wider community. Our aim is to become a centre for pilgrims seeking to connect with our local heritage and be a place where all, regardless of race, gender or sexuality, may encounter God.

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit for the year of £62,123, primarily due to the absence of a significant legacy payment received in the prior year. However, the trustees report that the charity's financial position is on a much more secure footing, with unrestricted reserves of £1,030,557 representing approximately 38 months of unrestricted expenditure. The going concern basis is applied as the PCC has a reasonable expectation of adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
