REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ending 30[th] June 2025.

Structure, Governance and Management

The trust deed provides for a minimum of 3 trustees which include the church minister(s). However, the number of trustees who receive remuneration for their services to the Church shall not form the majority of the trustees.

The trustees are known as the Church Council. The Church Council are responsible for the appointment of new members of the council as well as their induction training. This training includes making them aware of their responsibilities, the requirements of the governing trust deed, administrative procedures along with the history and philosophical approach to the charity.

The Church Council meets regularly to review risks that the charity faces. These include financial, health & safety, as well as the risks associated with working with children.

Objectives and Activities of the Charity

Achievements and Performance

Scripture Reflection

Matthew 28:19–20:

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

This scripture has defined our vision for the past two years: to transform people’s lives through preaching, teaching, outreach, and personal discipleship. Many in our congregation have caught this Kingdom-focused vision, and as this is the vision Jesus Himself has given our pastor, we have seen God grow Bethel Church by transforming lives. God knows our pastor’s heart and sees his willingness to pursue this vision.

This is the vision our pastor has for Bethel:

Helping people.....Walk with Christ, Make disciples, Be the church......in the everyday places of life.

General Overview

Despite challenges—Bethel Church (Assemblies of God, Stonehouse) has seen significant growth . We thank the Lord for this. Society is hungry for Jesus and searching for answers, and many have sought refuge at Bethel Church because we remain committed to preaching, teaching, and living according to the Word of God. We have seen a slight increase through the Quiet Revival 13 – 25-year-olds. Bethel has seen significant growth in families attending on a regular basis.

We have continued to trust God to build His church. Scripture assures us of a harvest if we rely on the Holy Spirit’s work. Although we have faced spiritual opposition—including illness among active members and the passing of some saints —we recognise we are in a spiritual battle, especially as we anticip ate the imminent rapture and second coming of Jesus.

In January 2024 a Tamil Congregation began meeting at Bethel as part of Bethel Assemblies of God. This Tamil congregation has now been registered as a separate church with its own governance and leadership. This church has now also relocated to alternative premises.

Men’s Ministry

More than just a Bible study, Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God. Men's Fraternity was designed to help men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction. These resources have been used to equip men to make their pursuit of noble manhood a lifelong priority. Church leaders and lay members are using the series to energize the men of their church and to connect with men in the community.

Discipleship Initiatives

Discipleship Group : Our Discipleship Group is an intentional ministry designed to nurture spiritual growth, strengthen biblical understanding, and build meaningful relationships within our church community. This group meets once a month, providing a consistent opportunity for focused learning and fellowship.

Each meeting includes sharing a meal together, fostering a warm and welcoming environment where participants can deepen connections and build trust. Following the meal, the group engages in a discipleship theme designed to help attendees grow in their faith, apply biblical principles to everyday life, and develop as mature followers of Christ.

The group currently has 8 regular attendees who are committed to this journey of growth and accountability. We anticipate further growth in participation following the conclusion of the upcoming Alpha Course, as new believers and seekers are invited to continue their discipleship journey in this supportive setting.

We believe this monthly group is a vital part of our mission to make disciples, providing a structured yet relational space where individuals can ask questions, share experiences, pray together, and be equipped to live out their faith in practical ways. It is our hope that through this ministry, attendees will be empowered to serve, lead, and disciple others in turn, multiplying the impact of the Gospel in our community.

GO Connect: GO Connect is a new ministry initiative designed to deepen discipleship and strengthen relationships within our church community. It takes the form of a home-based cell group, meeting regularly in the welcoming environment of a congregant’s home. This setting fosters a sense of intimacy, trust, and belonging, making it easier for participants to share openly and support one another in their faith journeys.

The group has so far explored themes such as “Fan or Follower”, challenging attendees to consider their personal commitment to Christ, and “The Big Picture”, offering an overview of God’s redemptive plan as revealed in Scripture.

These studies encourage participants to move beyond surface-level faith and develop a deeper understanding of biblical principles and their application to daily life.

GO Connect provides a space where members can engage in meaningful discussion, ask questions, and wrestle with the truths of the Bible in a safe, supportive setting. It also emphasises prayer for one another, building spiritual friendships, and equipping attendees to live out their faith confidently and authentically.

Our hope is that GO Connect will continue to grow and multiply, becoming an essential part of our strategy for discipling believers, reaching out to newcomers, and fostering spiritual maturity within our congregation.

Wednesday Afternoon Connect Group is an important ministry focused on providing accessible, meaningful Bible teaching and study for those who are new to the Christian faith, as well as for members who are unable to attend the Wednesday morning sessions due to work or other commitments.

This group has a regular attendance of 12 participants , demonstrating a strong and growing interest in deepening biblical understanding and building supportive relationships within our church family.

Each week, participants gather for structured yet welcoming study sessions that aim to make Scripture accessible and practical. Recently, the group has explored the miracles of Jesus , examining these events not only as historical accounts but as powerful demonstrations of Christ’s divinity, compassion, and authority—helping members see their relevance for faith today.

In addition to Bible teaching and discussion, the group also enjoys watching the acclaimed series “The Chosen” once a month. These viewings serve as a creative and engaging way to visualise the life and ministry of Jesus, sparking lively conversation and deeper reflection on the Gospel narratives.

Through this Connect Group, participants are encouraged to ask questions, share insights, and support one another in prayer. Our goal is to foster a safe, inclusive environment where spiritual growth can flourish, empowering new believers and all attendees to grow in faith, confidence, and knowledge of God’s Word.

Financial Report and Thanks

Special thanks to our Treasurer for outstanding behind-the-scenes work. Gratitude to Paul Mallett for conducting the audit and accounts.

Missionary Support

We continue to financially support five missionaries:

We have received feedback and visits.

We also supported the Food Bank and provided groceries and essentials for families in Ukraine through material contributions by our members.

Future Plans

Leadership Structure

We are currently seeking God’s guidance as we plan and implement changes to our leadership structure. Some of our existing trustees have indicated that they will be stepping down, and we are prayerfully considering the appointment of new trustees to ensure continuity and effective governance. In addition to this, we are introducing a Leadership Team (LT). This new team will serve alongside, but distinct from, the Trustee Board. While the Trustee Board will continue to oversee the management and governance of the church, the LT will be specifically responsible for all spiritual aspects of church life.

The introduction of the Leadership Team represents a new approach to leadership within our congregation, aimed at ensuring dedicated, focused oversight of our spiritual health, growth, and direction in alignment with our mission and values.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Youth

We are currently in the praying stages of launching a Youth Group aimed at serving young people aged 13 to 18 . This initiative reflects our commitment to investing in the next generation and ensuring that they have a dedicated space within our church community to grow in their faith.

The vision for the Youth Group is to provide consistent, age-appropriate discipleship that equips young people to understand, live out, and share their faith with confidence. Through regular gatherings, Bible study, discussion, worship, and social activities, we aim to create an engaging and supportive environment where youth feel valued, heard, and spiritually nurtured.

Our goal is not only to teach biblical principles but also to help youth develop strong, personal relationships with Jesus Christ. We want to see them grow as disciples—grounded in Scripture, led by the Holy Spirit, and prepared to navigate the challenges of their formative years with faith and integrity.

We also hope that the Youth Group will serve as a welcoming place for young people from the wider community who may not yet know Christ. By fostering genuine friendships, sharing the Gospel in relevant ways, and providing a safe, inclusive atmosphere, we pray that many will encounter the love of God and choose to follow Him.

We believe this ministry is vital to the long-term health and growth of our church, as we intentionally invest in raising up the next generation of believers and leaders. We ask for the church’s prayerful support as we prepare, recruit volunteers, and seek God’s guidance for this important work.

Children

We are committed to nurturing the spiritual growth of our youngest members through the development and support of a dedicated Children’s Group for ages 4 to 11 . This ministry is a vital part of our vision to make disciples of all generations, recognising the importance of laying a strong spiritual foundation from an early age.

The Children’s Group will meet weekly to provide age-appropriate Bible teaching , worship, prayer, and creative activities that help children engage with God’s Word in meaningful and memorable ways. Our aim is to make learning about Jesus exciting, accessible, and relevant to their everyday lives.

We want to encourage them to develop a personal relationship with God, to grow in prayer, and to begin recognising and responding to the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.

We are also committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and fun environment where children feel loved, included, and valued. Through games, crafts, stories, and discussions, we hope to build strong relationships with them and among them—fostering a sense of belonging and community within the church.

Importantly, this ministry will also serve as an outreach opportunity, welcoming children from families in our wider community who may not yet have a church home. By sharing the Gospel in clear and compelling ways, we pray that many will come to know Jesus at an early age and grow as lifelong disciples.

We invite the whole church to support this ministry through prayer, volunteering, and encouragement, recognising its

Page 10

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

essential role in raising up the next generation of believers who will continue the mission of Christ in the world.

We will continue to focus on prayer, ministry of the Word of God, discipling, and soul winning. We recognise that nothing is accomplished except through prayer and that people need to be discipled through effective preaching of Kingdom principles.

We will continue to promote:

Jesus Christ as Saviour, Healer, Baptiser, and Coming King Prayer and the Bible Extravagant worship Sharing the love of Jesus with everyone

We are committed to building a culture of positive, forward-looking faith, encouragement, honour, respect, and excellence. We are thankful for feedback from visitors and new attendees who consistently describe Bethel as warm, friendly, and welcoming. Several testimonies highlight how people have felt loved, accepted, and at home from their very first visit.

Budgets and Stewardship

We recognise that despite increased attendance, it remains crucial to use our finances for the three objectives outlined in our constitution/governing document.

We will continue to:

We continue prioritising support for missionaries and outreach in our budgeting. Throughout this period, God has blessed us through the faithful giving of our members both in-person and online. We trust and pray that He will continue to prosper His church financially as we pursue His will.

Going Concern

The trustees, having reviewed all financial and other obligations, they expect the charity to continue to operate as normal for the foreseeable future. It is able to meet its obligations as they fall due, and there are no plans to close the charity or to significantly curtail its operations.

Public Benefit

The trustees have considered the requirements of the Charities Act to ensure the Charity meets its obligations in respect of public benefit.

In planning activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

The Trustees believe that this annual report helps to demonstrate the Charity’s commitment to the communities in which it is based, as well as its achievements during the year and its future plans.

Grant Making Policy

Gifts to individuals, families and external organizations are considered on the basis of need and the fulfilment of its charitable objectives, in line with its Grant Making Policy.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Financial Review

The financial year under review shows that our total donations (tithes and offerings) from all funds saw a slight reduction of £117 for the year. When we look purely at general tithes and offerings (i.e. excluding specific mission offerings) these actually increased by 4.4% i.e. up from £41,295 to £43,122.

Gift aid reclaims also increased by 14% from £5,325 to £6,094. These increases are entirely due to the continued generosity of our members towards outworking of the vision of the church.

Again, a heart-felt “thank you” doesn’t do justice to acknowledge the continued sacrifices that we know many have made over the last 12 months.

Our total income from all sources for the year also increased by 4.5% from £54,246 to £56,705, helped by increased Interest earned on our bank balances and a higher level of car park income.

If we now look at expenditure. Total expenditure saw another large increase of 26% (against the 27.7% increase that was seen in the previous year). Expenditure increased from £45,175 to £56,898, i.e. a rise of £11,723.

A breakdown is provided in note 3. The two largest increases were seen in premises costs due to the purchase of the New sound system (£7,287) and increased external support missions etc., up 61% from £5,793 to £9,348.

The net result was a year-end deficit of £193 against the surplus of £9,071 seen in the previous year.

As a result, our cash reserves fell slightly from £105,618 to £105,210 but this level is still considered to be more than adequate to see us through the next season.

Reserves Policy

The charity’s current levels of unrestricted reserves are more than acceptable. £35,000 of the total had previously been designated as a contingency and there are no current plans to change this.

Risk Assessment

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate these. All major insurance risks are subject to normal volunteer insurance.

Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into to assess their impact on the charity’s ability to fulfil its objectives. An annual review of all areas of risk is undertaken by the Trustees in conjunction with volunteers responsible for the area of activity.

Trustee Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales require that trustees provide financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and;

prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping financial records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ascertain to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website.
