crftical a¢¢ounling Judgemthts and e8tknatlon unc•rtainty
The preparation of the financral statements in confomrty with FRS 102 requires management to make
judgerr*nts, estimates and assumptions that affect ts application of policios and reported aTh)unts of as80ts
and liabilities, income, and expenses.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluat&l arKI are based on historical experfence and other factors,
induding ex￿¢￿allonS of fvture events that are believed to b8 reasonable under the circum8tsnces.
The charity m8kes estimates and as8umptlons conceming the fvturo. The resultlng accounting estimates will, by
definition. seldom equal the related actual re8uKs. The Tntstees ¢onsid&r that Ihere are no critlcal accounli
estimates and ludgem&nts have a significant ri8k of causing a material adjusbnent to the carrying amounts of

members, bringing teaching from the Word of GCKI and overseeing prcNJrammes, such as
church administratlon, outreach, Ca￿ for the needy, relations with other church leaders in
eath of the towns. During this year, Taunton ap￿Inted David Ledger as a deacon and Glyn

Flnanclal OveThlew of2024
The thurth's Income is primarlly recelved from the majorlty members glvlng IO% (a tlthe) of
thelr Income and offerings. This biblical prinaple is tsught in the church and works In
practi￿ as a voluntsry contribution from those people wlth enough faith in these princlples
to put them into prattl￿. In addition to this, from ts'me to time, special voluntsry offerings
are made by members. Ideally the tithe is used to provide for people and offerlngs for
projects - this is retlected in the accounts.
Significantlyi 2024 saw the contlnued use of the Gipsy Lane church site, with sufflcient
finan￿ to help the ongoing Maintenan￿ and various programmes to support a church
ngregation growlng in numbers across Bridgwater & Wellington too.
At the end of the 21st financial year, the church's finances remained in a strong position and
Trustees remained confident in being able to meet the financial commitments and to be
able to continue to be generous in giving to the needs of others inside and outsi(Je the
church and across the church In Taunton and to pay the salarles of the staff.
