Section D Achievements and performance

The church continued to commit to its objectives throughout the year period, this being Summary of the main the case whilst we were still holding online services and also after we started in person achievements of the charity services again. Since June, when we started in person services we soon saw a steady during the year increase in those attending and it was a joy to welcome new members. The church has sought to continue developing a positive, welcoming and inclusive culture through its in person services and online engagement with the community. The church has started small groups in homes called ‘CONNECT’, these groups have been established for the purpose of discipleship, teaching, prayer and fellowship. We currently have two groups running but hope to develop more groups in the future, as they provide a platform for growth, both spiritually and also relationally and are helpful for the delivery of pastoral care. The church has regularly received food donations from its members and members of the wider community to give to the local food pantry that we partner with at Yardley Wood Baptist Church. The church has continued to use and develop its website and social media page as a means of advertising its online services, activities and promoting the aims and objectives of the charity to the community. The church trustees are continuing to attempt to purchase the plot of land immediately in front of its building from the City Council for use as a car park. This would then give easier and safer access to the church’s various services and activities to more people in the community, including those with limited mobility. The church has gained planning permission to convert the said piece of land into a car park and has also had the land valued by an independent land valuation firm to ensure that we are not being overcharged for the land. The church has made an offer to the City Council for the land based on the independent valuation; which has been accepted by the City Council. The Church Council has appointed its solicitors (Anthony Collins of Birmingham) and the matter of purchase is currently ongoing.
