Barnabas Fellowship of Churches Trust

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Objectives

Barnabas seeks to plant or support churches that meet the needs of the area in which they are located. Barnabas also seeks to provide a framework for relationship where Christians can come together for mutual support and encouragement. Barnabas England also provides covering and support for church leaders by means of accreditation. Barnabas is a member of the Evangelical Alliance in the UK.

Report

There are five Barnabas England Churches and Communities and two associated churches in England and two Barnabas Northern Ireland churches. We also have ministries and individuals that associate with us through our training and events. We have begun to develop support for smaller churches that are seeking to be renewed in their capacity for community impact and spiritual growth in their locations.

The two Northern Ireland churches continued to work together with a main thrust of this being the successful annual conference held in Coleraine.

The Turning an evangelistic initiative has continued to support missions in Reading, Berkshire, Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, across several boroughs of London and in the nation of Switzerland. Plans are in place to launch evangelistic festivals the first two being in Gran Caria and South Africa in 2023. The development of New Carmel Prophets has continued with prophetic hubs now launched in Reading, Birmingham, West London with Cambridge and Essex in Development. The first national conference was held at the end of 2022.

The work of Barnabas internationally has also continued which is led by the International Oversight Team (IOT) . There are Barnabas Churches and projects located in France, Zambia and Zimbabwe and in 2022 a group of churches in the Ivory Coast joined our fellowship for apostolic support and covering.

Barnabas over the year continued to relate to other church denominations and streams including the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Salt and Light, Fresh Streams and others.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Barnabas Fellowship of Churches Trust

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Barnabas Fellowship of Churches Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
