Betel Church Trustees Report for 2024

Aims, Objectives and Activities

In line with our governing documents registered with the Charity Commission, Anchor Point Church aims to meet the following objectives and purposes:

Advancement of Christian Faith: preaching and proclamation of the Gospel and teaching of Christian doctrine and principles. Printing and distributing of the Bible and other Christian literature, also utilising video, audio, electronic or other media where available. Pastoral care of Christian people. The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship, or distress, aged or sick.

We endeavour to meet these objectives as a local community church based in Aston, Birmingham and New Basford, Nottingham, which is open to all who wish to attend, by providing access to Christian worship services on a regular weekly basis where Christian teaching and pastoral care is offered. We offer additional services for children, families and youth through the church, including access to child and toddler groups, supporting parents, offering free meals, and through outreach to the local community, particularly those affected by addiction or substance misuse. We also host regular conferences to benefit local churches, groups and businesses. In March 2025 we hosted a free community banquet for those in the local area, during which we hosted a meal and entertainment for around 300 people from the nearby communities, and were able to hand our food parcels and baby items to those in need.

As a result of these activities we have welcomed a number of new visitors and families into our church congregation, and are confident that APC offers a welcome, beneficial environment that is fully in line with our principles and objectives as stated above. We have also established and extended numerous relationships with other local churches and ministries in our area, working together in various projects to promote unity in our communities, and working for the benefit of all people in our local area.

Independent Examiners' Report to the trustees of Betel Church

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Betel Church for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity Trustees of Betel Church, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of Betel Church’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Betel Church as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
