## **Annual Report for 2021**
The Trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for the Year ended 31 December 2021
## **Charitable Object**
The objects of the trust are to advance the Chris�an faith in Bedford and such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from �me to �me think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the trust and to relieve persons who are in condi�ons of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the said loca�on and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from �me to �me think fit.
## **Organisa�onal Structure and Decision-making processes**
The responsible persons meet together as a Church Leadership Team to manage the Church as a whole. Each Congrega�on, in addi�on, has a congrega�onal Leadership team to manage local mee�ngs and ministry. The Trustees meet on at least 3 occasions in the year to consider Trust ma�ers - mainly finance and the building project. The Church has policies covering Children, Vulnerable Adults, Health and Safety, Financial Reserves, Conflicts of Interest and Data Protec�on.
## **Public Benefit Statement**
The Church provides opportuni�es for Chris�an worship on a weekly basis to which all members of the public are welcome. In addi�on, a number of ac�vi�es for people of all ages are offered that are again open to the public and provide opportuni�es for the building of rela�onships and instruc�on in the essen�als of the Chris�an faith. The church has been involved in suppor�ng the homeless and other disadvantaged groups through food supplies, children's ac�vi�es, which range from moral to sport and art development. House and hospital visits that aim to support families and individuals as well as suppor�ng other organisa�ons that are involved in na�onal and interna�onal aid support
Membership of the Church is open to all who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and the principle of Believers’ Bap�sm by immersion is promoted among the membership and is con�nued by regular discipleship training that corresponds with St Ma�hew 28:19-20. The Trustees have read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and are sa�sfied that the ac�vi�es outlined above clearly demonstrate that the charity is mee�ng its Purpose and is providing a benefit to the public.
## **Achievements in the year**
Church mee�ngs were as normal for the year 2021, discipling, bap�sing and receiving new members into the FCC family. We enjoyed joint services where several churches came together and enjoyed fellowship together for the greater cause, ordaining a minister and a deacon. As with previous years, we support several chari�es, one being a new one we’ve never supported before called BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse). Many bikers were able to join us for a �me of worship and ministry, the regional representa�ve gave a talk on their work as an organisa�on and collected the cheque for the funds we raised.
We con�nue to support other projects in Italy, Malawi and Tanzania providing everyday essen�als, educa�onal and basic servicing needs, not to men�on the support we provide here on our doorstep providing a range of support aid to families, single parents, young and vulnerable and the elderly.
We also saw more work carried out on our building project although delayed due to our contractor having to clear work backlog from 2019/20, levelling out the en�re site and installing a new concrete floor inside the main hall. Foo�ngs for both the offices and extension will be completed at the end of February in the new year.

## **Faith Temple Ministries Trustees Report and Financial Statements Year ending December 31st. 2021**
2022 will focus our efforts on comple�ng the third phase of our building project which will enable us to move in which will allow us to build the extension while opera�ng in the building.
## Volunteers
The above ac�vi�es are largely led and staffed by volunteers, and the church would be unable to func�on without their commitment and o�en sacrificial giving of �me.
## **Financial Review**
During 2020 the Church received an income of £49,756 (2021 £36,088) despite Covid restric�ons on a�endance. The expenditure in the year was £63,136 ( 2021 £25,404) the increase resul�ng from expenditures on the redevelopment of the Clapham Road site and wri�ng off as an excep�onal item the investment due from Julian Investments.
At the end of the year, our Net Assets less liabili�es was £148,747 (2021 £177,124)
In the two years since building works commenced we have expensed £34,156 of building works which will be capitalised on comple�on expected to be in 2023.
## Reserves Policy:
Our Reserves as at 31st December 2021 were £79,387 applicable to our unrestricted Church account and including designated reserves applicable to the building.
Our reserves policy is to hold a minimum of 3 months' general expenditure as free reserves in the general account and to designate any accumulated excess to this number to our designated Buildings reserve fund. As the building progresses our reserves will be reduced. We will, of course, be increasing the 3 months expenditure to include the mortgage repayment in full - both interest and repayment.

**Independent Examiners Report to the trustees and members of Faith Temple Ministries** on the accounts for the year to **31[ st ] . December 2021** as set out on pages 7 – 14 in this document
## **Respec�ve responsibili�es of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under sec�on 144 of the Chari�es Act 2011 (the Chari�es Act) and that an independent examina�on is needed
## **Independent examiner's statement**
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under sec�on 145 of the Chari�es Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission (under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Chari�es Act, and to state whether par�cular ma�ers have come to my a�en�on.
My examina�on was carried out in accordance with general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission. An examina�on includes a review of the accoun�ng records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considera�on of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explana�ons from the trustees concerning any such ma�ers. 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 ma�ers set out in the statement below.
In connec�on with my examina�on, no ma�er has come to my a�en�on which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
1) to keep accoun�ng records in accordance with sec�on 130 of the Chari�es Act; and
- to prepare accounts that accord with the accoun�ng records and comply with the accoun�ng requirements of the Chari�es Act have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, a�en�on should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
## **Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at se�lement amounts less any trade discounts

## **Basic financial instruments**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on ini�al recogni�on as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.

The deprecia�on rates and methods used are below:
Furniture and fi�ngs 10% straight line Computers and equipment 33% straight line Buildings 0% straight line
## **Intangible fixed assets**
The charity does not have intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are iden�fiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights
## **Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are ini�ally valued at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year-end.

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
