Constitutlon and Internal Control
The Church is govemed by its Twst Dccd (dated 4th April 1973) and is a registcrod kn--'t
with the number 1106128. The Trust Deed provided for a minimum of six Trustees.
Objects of the Charity
St. Andrew's Baptist Church Shepperton exists to glorfy God and ser¥e Jesus, God's Son,
within the communities of Upper Halliford and Shepperton and in furtherance of the above
objective the Trustees shall enable the Church..
To redth oui tu all people iri the LOiTIITIUflily SU tlldi every Incin, womlaii ana Gniia Cdn
have the opportunity to hear, understand and receive the gospel of salvation.
To provide sound Biblical teaching and to equip God's people to deepen their faith
and share it with others.
To provide and maintain suitable buildings and equipment to further the objectives of
the Church.
Organisational Structure
The Trust is govemed by a board of Trustees appolnted by the Church in a General Meeting.
The Church employs a combination of full and part-time staff as required. Every member of
the Church, whetheT employed or not, is expected to be involved in reaching out and helping
the community. Church members give their time freely helping others, by praying for, and
visiting the sick and those in need, by being involved in teaching young people, by testifying
to God's love and by public worship. Much of the work is done privately without recognition
and the hours and value of that time cannot be quantified. The financial resources of the
Church, to a very large exlent, are given by the members of the Church
Public Benefit
The Twstees are aware of their duty, set out in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, to have
due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Therefore,
the Trustees always ensure that the Trust's activities are in line with its objectives, which are
set out under the heading of "Organisational Structure" above, whilst specific activities of
Public Benefit undertaken during 2023 are set out in the following paragraph.
Revlew of progress and achlevernent in 2024
This has been a steady year, a year of consolidation in a number of areas, and growth in one
area in particular
The Eldership team is working well, and in the latter part of 2024 and indeed going into 2025
more of our time is being given over to prayer, though this is still a work in progress, however
there are en￿uragIng signs. The Leadership team is functioning combining Trustees and
Deacons, though sensitive to God whether this present a￿angement is to continue, or
whether we at some time in the future revert back to a separate Diaconate and Trustee body
The outreach into our local commu4ity hao been particularly Ancouraging this year. We now
on a monthly basis witness in both Shepperton and Upper Halliford and we have had some
great conversations in both locations. Our bi-monthly service to Charlton Grange Care Home
has proved popular to the point on some Sundays in 2024 some of the residents and staff
came over to join with us for our Sunday moming seriice. We noticed in 2024 an increase of
attenda[1￿ at our Sunday moming service from our neighbours in Upper Hallrford, and we
give Cod the glory for this.
Our Children's ministry continued both on a Sunday moming and a Tuesday. We were and
still are conscious that there is room for more children both on a Sunday and a Tuesday, and

St. Andrew's Baptist Church, Shepperton
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 3 1st December 2024
too, for 2-3 more people from the church to step into roles wthin this vital ministry. We
C.OD.tiD.ue look to nJod for the increase. and His wi<dom upon us for the right way fo￿ard.
Coupled with this we continue to look and pray to God for more musicians to join the
excellent team we have already on a Sunday moming
Our Home groups have continued in 2024, the addition has been a mid-week Bible study
group which has proved to be popular by the 10 or so people who regularly attend the group
We have been blessed in 2024 to install a new screen in the Sanctuary. and this has
enhan￿d the visual aspect of our wcrehi
,.f:G?n•ly. Th= d_
mp spots ip. th.e Old cb.urc
have been treated and we keep an eye on the brickwork to see how successful the
treatment has been
So in dosing to review 2024, 8 year of consolidation, but with a real impetus of Christian
influence to our immediate neighbours in Upper Halliford - Praise God
Future plans going into 2025
Further engagement with our local community to have an expectation of people corq:ng to
faith, being baptised, and developing into fully devoted followers of Jesus. With this in mind
we have in place now a new believers course, a baptism course, and sometime in 2025 we
will organise a "Alpha. course or a 'Christianity Explored" course, for those in our community
interested in leaming more about the Christian faith. Also, in 2025 to develop a discipleship
course
To spe an inciease in numbers attending our Home Groups, Bible study groups and prayer
meetings, for 2025 particularly our prayer meetings
Continuing to seek God for an expansion of our children's ministry both within the church
and in local schools. Continuing to seek God for His provision to send MO￿ helpers and to
be open to the idea, and be led by God to maybe employ a partlfull time children's worker
To have in place throughout the year a number of social activities where fellowship within the
church can be enhanced. This is planned through afternoon cream teas, concerts, and film
aftemoons, which in the past have proved to be very popular
Continue to be observant to the needs of the building and address issues when they arise,
partiCLilaFly the Old Church
In dosing recognising God is on the move in our area and for us at all times to follow Him,
His leading, His prompting, His resourcing, and always for His glory- Amen
Management and Governance Arrangeme-..ts

Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

material departures disdosed and explained in the financÉal statements.

14. Golng Concern
The Trustee's note the Church had net incoming resources on General Funds on its ordlnary actlvities for the year of £
17,321. At the Balance Sheet, it had current assets of £ 118,509. This represents in excess of 12 months expenditure
based on the level for 2024. Accordingly, the Trustee's believe the Church will have sufficient funds for it to meet
Ilabllltles as they fall due during the twelve months following the approval of these accounts and therafore it Is
correct forthem to be prepared on the going concern basis.
