What is Coastline Vineyard? Coastline Vineyard …. is an autonomous, local, independent church • works in relationship with the family of churches • known as “Vineyard Churches” is a publicly registered ‘legal entity’ • is both a charity • (registered with The Charity Commission) and also a public company • (registered with Companies House )
Clarity on the Role of Trustees CVC Trustees are NOT • “Deacons” or “Elders” as seen in some parts of the wider Church • Primary responsibility for spiritual leadership and oversight in the church is vested in the Senior Pastor NOT the Trustees • Responsible for spiritual and pastoral matters – unless they have a pastoral staff role or have a voluntary pastoral role • Responsible Day to day running of the church – unless they have Staff responsibilities also • Vision setting – except for Ade in his role as Senior Pastor • Day to day financial control – except David Morgan as Business Manager • Trustees set agreed budgets and procedures for Financial Control
What are the trustees for – what do they do? Trustees hold the overall control of the ‘legal entity’ of Coastline Vineyard Church (the charity + company) They are legally responsible for: 1. Ensuring CVC does what it was set up to do and carries out its purpose for public benefit 2. Ensuring that the CVC complies with all governing law • Trustees hold a statutory duty and could be prosecuted if CVC is not compliant 3. Safeguarding & Risk Management 4. The reputation of the charity & acting in the best interests of the charity 5. Managing the charities resources responsibly 6. Ensuring the charity is transparent and accountable • In summary, to keep CVC…. “out of the red, out of the courts, and out of the media!”
What are the trustees for – what do they do? • What do they do ?
