ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

Response to the Covid Pandemic

This past year as the global pandemic reached the UK and as the first lockdown came into force in March we ceased in person meetings and began to use online video conferencing technology for both public meetings as well as other organisational meetings, including the main Sunday morning Service, children's work, youth work, and all midweek small groups and leadership meetings.

As the year progressed steps were taken to prepare the building and train our staff and volunteers for a safe return to in person meetings. Some such meetings were possible in December.

We also made significant investment into equipment to allow us to broadcast live from our building via YouTube. We see this as a good long-term investment that will help us to reach people even when we return to the building after Covid restrictions are lifted.

We also took steps to restrict church spending as we anticipated a drop in church income.

Vision and values

Our vision remains to pursue God and to reach and impact our local community and beyond, as we are able, with Christian love and truth. We continue to be committed to our ongoing associations and links with other churches, groups and movements, both in the UK, and in other countries.

Leadership and Multisite Church

At the beginning of the year, we began working more closely with the leaders of Forefront Church Northampton (FFC) with a view to forming a multisite church (one church meeting in separate locations).

Two of the leaders, Lee Smart and Martin Kedian from FFC, have joined with us for regular meetings and the aim is to formerly become a multisite church in 2021.

Oversite

Our ongoing connections with the New Frontiers Catalyst Network of Churches is our primary source of spiritual and practical oversite and continues to be of great benefit. We regularly access conferences and training for different areas of ministry although this has been more restricted this year due to Covid.

The senior pastor has regular contact with other church leaders in that network and this has been a valuable support and source of encouragement and advice during the year.

Community work and Mission

We continue to support the work of Springs Family Centre whose work in the local community of Spring Boroughs has been vital during the Pandemic. Especially helping to provide food for people who have found themselves falling on hard times.

Much of Springs work and the additional work of church has either stopped or been very restricted due to Covid.

International Mission

The church supports a number of our members who are working with other missional organisations. In particular we support a mission in Uganda and a missionary working with Wycliffe. Our support is a mix of finances, advice, practical help, and prayer support.

Our work in Uganda continues to thrive with a Ugandan team now taking responsibility for the work as the long-term missionary, Janet Robinson, has now returned to the UK.

KINGDOM LIFE CHURCH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

We continue to fund the work but the planned trip to visit in 2020 had to be cancelled. However, our intention is to make a visit once restrictions on international travel are lifted.

Conferences and Training

Some of the leaders were able to attend online conference days with the Catalyst Network during 2020.

Staff

As a result of Covid we placed our main church administrator on furlough in the Spring. Initially that was full furlough and then from late summer some of the hours of work have been restored up to 2 days a week. All other staff have been retained in accordance with their contracts and have carried out their duties mostly working from home.

Our volunteer worker who was helping with media work moved on in the summer and the work now continues with a volunteer media team headed by Rob Goldring.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Church's unrestricted income is almost entirely from its members and regular attenders, and the Trustees continue to carefully manage the finances and the budget.

We are encouraged this year that our giving has stayed steady during lockdown despite not having in person meetings.

In anticipation of financial hardship from the inevitable downturn in the general economy we set up a fund to help people, both inside and outside the church. Within a short period of time the fund amassed approximately £10,000 and this has served a good number of people and we are encouraged that giving for this fund has continued throughout the year.

The leaders also took a decision to restore the financial reserves which had been depleted because of the necessity of improvement work and maintenance work on the building in previous years. The reserves are being placed into a separate account to help make sure they are maintained.

The Elders and trustees consider Kingdom Life Church to be a going concern on the basis of committed regular giving and controlled expenditure, from these we predict a budget with a net gain of £10-15k in 2021.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees/directors are selected from the leadership of Kingdom Life Church.

Organisational structure

The board of trustees delegate much of the day to day management to employed staff and volunteers. Senior managers have responsibility for overseeing nearly all of the church's activities under the guidance and instruction of the trustees. A staff remunerations sub-committee is responsible for recommending pay awards etc. for individual members of staff.

The trustees receive monthly written reports from the senior management team. These include financial reports. Where actions or decisions are needed on an ongoing basis these are made by the trustees, but most of the business is carried out at the quarterly trustees meeting.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Induction and training of new trustees

As leaders of the church new trustees already have a significant understanding of the governance of the church, but additional induction is given on an individual basis by one of the existing trustees.

Related parties

Staff Pay

Paul Worth who is the Senior Pastor of Kingdom Life Church and paid by the church along with Rob Goldring take no part in the final decisions regarding salaries.

Paul Worth is also serving Forefront Church Northampton in an advisory capacity and receives a small remuneration for advice and input into their leadership team.

Additional Charity Work

Paul Worth and Richard Johnson (Elder) are trustees for the Northampton Street and School Pastors; Paul is the current chair and Richard is the treasurer. Kingdom Life Church Northampton gives monthly to the charity and the work helps us fulfil our own charitable aims. Neither Richard nor Paul receive any financial benefit from the charity and the decision to give to the charity is decided by the trustees and Elders as a group.

Paul Worth is a trustee of Kingdom Life Church Ministry Uganda - a Uganda NGO - registration No. 12683. The work is a mission of Kingdom Life Church in Northampton but has its own charity status in Uganda. KLC Northampton supports this work giving monies from central funds and processing funds from other donors. Paul receives no remuneration from Kingdom Life Church Ministry Uganda.

Richard Johnson is a trustee of Adventure Projects Trust UK, a charity which works in Uganda.

Risk management

The Trustees regularly review risk assessments undertaken by them or for them for the various church activities and groups using the facilities provided. Much work has been done this year in anticipation of a return to in person meetings ensuring that the premises are safe and ensuring adequate systems are in place to minimise the risk of spreading Covid.

Appropriate insurance cover is in place for Public Liability and protection of property and money.

All Trustees, staff, and volunteers working with children are checked through the appropriate child protection databases in accordance with our Child Protection Policy. Safeguarding is reviewed regularly.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGDOM LIFE CHURCH

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kingdom Life Church ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCA which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  3. 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

  4. 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.

KINGDOM LIFE CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. LEGAL FORM

Kingdom Life Church is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. Its registered address is listed on page 4.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

The comparative period covered by the financial statements is the 11 months ending 31 December 2019 therefore the comparatives are not entirely comparable. The reason for making this change was to align with our structure of ministry reviews and the vision and budget setting of the church.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Government grant income is recognised as it is receivable.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Improvements to property - 10% on reducing balance Plant and machinery - 10% on reducing balance

Page 11

continued...

KINGDOM LIFE CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The trustees are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The trustees consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds are those unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the statement of financial activities. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

16. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued

The building and building improvement and family centre funds are in relation to developing the charity's buildings for greater and more flexible use.

The studio fund is for the setting up of a recording studio facility.

Uganda Fund - Kasambira Kingdom Life Church Ministry has worked in Kasambira since 2004 and is a mission branch of KLC Northampton. It seeks to help villagers and their families through Nursery and Primary Education, some support for a few Secondary Children, Vocational Training and a Food Distribution Programme. Its help is irrespective of religious background. Kingdom Life Church (in Kasambira) was established by the Ministry over 10 years ago.

The Gift Day fund is in relation to money raised for building improvements.

Other funds are small scale projects or fundraising for specific outside charitable causes.

The transfer from the general fund to Youth trips is due to an overspend on the fund.

The transfer from the general fund to Uganda children is for the Church's agreed contribution to the fund.

The various transfers from restricted funds to the general fund are due to underallocated expenditure to these funds identified from previous years.
