Pentecost Baptist Church Achievements in 2020
Achievements in 2020
Pentecost Baptist Church Achievements in 2020
The year 2020 was a very peculiar year because of the unexpected outbreak of COVID-19 where members had to follow service online.
The church was opened throughout the lockdown with the senior pastor ministering. However, after the lockdown, services were well attended.
During the week, we have held a weekly prayer and bible study meetings. A weekly meetings for the youth (16+1) Girl’s Auxiliary (9-16) Royal Ambassadors (9-16) and a monthly meeting for both Women and Men’s group. Many of these groups arrange extra meetings and have their committees during the week. Ministers and Leaders of Departments meet monthly, Sunday school Teachers meets monthly for preparation.
Once again, we have been able to welcome new students into the church with many of them coming with talents nurtured in their home churches, which they have used here.
The Choir had weekly rehearsals and arranged two concerts. They were also in demand to take part in concerts arranged by other churches. The junior choir has flourished, increased in numbers and taking part in the service. Lessons in music and keyboard have been held regularly and for a short time. Trumpet lessons were also given.
The children’s department met in the portakabin every Sunday morning with the teachers meeting regularly for preparation and the teenagers met in the second portakabin for their own service except for special occasion when they joined the main congregation.
We engaged in caring for the poor and homeless in our community by distributing food stuff and relief materials.
The portakabins been use for Maths classes, and IT training and for music and English lessons. As usual the annual Convention was held August. There was a good attendance and it was a time of blessing.
Activities outside the Country
Purchase of landed property for the Church
Organising relief materials for the poor and the Aged Ones Establishment of another branch in Ghana

Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2020
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Pentecost Baptist Church
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages three to six.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
