Thls report provldes an account of actlvlty durlng the year, under the followlng themes:
Athlevlng the Church's Purpose
nanclal Management
Charlty Management
Governan￿ Matters
Achlevlng the Church's Purpose
2.1 Purpose and Alms
The Church's purpose Is to advan￿ and express the Chrlstlan falth In partlcular by:
maklng known the Gospel of Jesus to as many people as posslble;
malntslnlng an undenomlnational gospel mlsslon work;
maklng falthful and obedlent disclple5 of Jesus thrlst;
equipplng Chrlstlans for mlnlstry and encouraglng them to use every splrltual glft
provided by God In love, In accordan￿ wlth the Bible;
worshlpplng God in every part of personal and corporate Ilfe;
functlonlng as a local church of Christlan bellevers; and
pursuing lifestyle, sodal actlon and communlty Involvement conslstent wlth
Blbllcal teathlng.

The purpose and aims of the Church are focused on brlnglng splrftual benefit and practical
assistano to those in need, especially those wlthin our local community. The prime spirltual
benefit is to bring people Into a dirett relationshlp wlth the Lord Jesus Christ, while the
practlcal benefits flow from a desire to reflett the love and truth of Christ in a needy wodd.
Spirltual beneffts
To achieve we engage in:
Evangelism to all, regardless of age, sex, lifestyle, ablllty or ethnicity.
Public Christian worship.
Blble teaching to child￿n, young people and adults.
Dlsclpleship to those who want to grow in the Christian falth;
TralnSng for those who partlclpate in the work of the Church. and
Support for organisations and Indlviduals who engage In evangelism, churth
plantlng and Blble teachlng across the world.
Prartlcal benefits
To achleve these we provlde in a Biblical context:
Recreational and leamlng facllltles for chlldren aThJ young people.
Support to young familles and parents.
Pastoral and prattlcal care to others In a varlety of settlngs.. home, hosiitsl,
nursing homes and prisons.
Counselllng and tralning in relatlonshlp Issues, and
Support to organlsatlon5 and Indlvlduals who provlde care or respond to the
personal needs of others.
These t￿0 channels of the Church being a benefit to others directly flow from the tsachlng
of Jesus Chrlst:
"I am the Ilght of the wortd.
Whoever follows me wlll never walk In darkness,
but wlll have the Ilght of Ilfe., (Matthew 8. 12)
and
'let your Ilght shlne before men,
that they may see your good deeds
and pralse your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5.16)
The Church operates as an undenominatlonal gospel mlsslon work to confomi wlth the
coveront on the church P￿MIses. This Is achieved through delivering all the attivitles of
the Church In an integrated manner. Worship, teachlng, trainlng and mission are the
reasons for every attivlty and aspect of the Church's Ilfe. This follows the Biblical pattem
of church life In which there is a continuous cycle of dlsciple-making, disciple-equipping and
disclpltr￿ndlng to make MO￿ disciple5 of the Lord Jesu5 Chrlst - all withln a framework of
worship and Blbllcal teaching.
The Trustees tske this opportunity to reaffirm their full commitment to the ststed purkK)se
and to the Church's Ststement of Faith (as displayed on the church website).

2.2 Values
The Church's pdmary values, Introduced in January 2018, are as follows:
Jesus,. Ivs all about him.
The Bible... everything we need to know about everything that matters;
The Cross,.. the place of forgiveness, the tx)wer for change.
Each Other.. all believers in Christ belong to God's family; and
The World... we want to Sha￿ God's good new5 With everyone.
2.3 Overvlew of the Year
Key Objectlves
Our key objectives remained unchanged, refiethw the continulng purF>%e and alms of the
Church which are to;

development projects in 2024, indudlng irnprovements to the staff offi￿5 and the Manse.
2.4 Future Plans
The objective of all futu￿ ministy is, as stated In Matthew's Gospel (chapter 28 verse 19),
to go and make disciples of all nations, to baptise them In the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Splrit and to teach them to ow everyching our Lord has commanded.
The Church wlll contlnue to fulfil its purpx and alms through ministry whlch Is Chrfst-
centred, Splrlt-fllled, Bible-based and prayer-fuelled. This will be done by uslng the same
four key obJectSves and pursuing the theme of "Go, Wln, Grovv.

for the ongolng teaching and outreach of the Church.
A priorfty for the early part of 2025, wlll be welcomlng TIM Bodman Into the role of Senlor
Pastor. The Trustees recogn1* the glftlngs that Tim has been given, and hls desire to lead
the Church alongside the other Elders and Deacons.
The Trustees recognise the importance of maklng tlme for the Church to rejolce and dellght
In Chrlst after a busy few years. To that end, there have b￿n several changes to term plans
to ensure Spa￿ Is made for focuslng on splrltual growth and for tlme spent wlth people,
whllst also malntalnlng the Church's outward vlew.
Flnanclal Management
3.1 Flnanclal Revlew
The Trustees have continued to seek the Lord's leading for the Church's mlnlstry
and mlssion work and a￿ thankful to all who have glven faithfvlly during thls past
year, notwSthstandlng the contlnuing financlal pressures on many households.
Totsl voluntary Income across all Church funds was £496,765 (2023: £524,771),
refletting a lower level of lump sum glfts received In the year at £89,817, mostly to
the General Fund, versus £111,152 in 2023, and a corresponding reduction In the
total amount of Glft Ald reclaimed. The overall level of spend for Church Attlvities
decreased malnly due to reduced ministry support costs as a result of gaps In
replacing staff who left durlng the year. The benevolent re*rve was applied in
sponse to slgnificant needs for financial support being identified within the
membership which resulted In a higher IpJel of grants pald at £44,130 (2023:
£24,506). The surplus across all funds of £26,324 (2023: £27,290) was added to
serves.
The Church's free reserves (defined as net current assets of the General Fund only)
at 31 December 2024 were £147,144 (2023: £123,851) malnly due to a signlficant
debtor arising from the terminab'on of the Dignity Funeral Llmlted lease in
November, the funds for which were recelved in January 2025 (£31,926).

Summary financlals for each of the three main funds are given below. Further
details can be found In the financial statements and related notes.
3.2 General Fund
During 2024 the Church ran a full range of actlvltles whilst maintainlng the Ilve
streaming of the Sunday moming Servi￿ for those unable to attend in person.
Overall income increased slightty and but costs were higher than last year. The
increased Income was due to increased church actlvitles partly offset by reduced
lump sum voluntsry giving, whilst the Increased costs were mainly due to increased
church actlvlties and benevolent grants.
Regular giving was Impacted by several donors leavlng and new glving not yet
reaching the same level, a net reduttion of £10,552, Overall totsl voluntsry givlng
decreased to £392,209 (2023: £431,822)I prfmarlly refletting the lower lelel of
lump sum glfts, £80,817, compared to the prior year (2023.. £106,152), The totsl
costs of the General Fund church attivities were higher at £451,491 (2023:
£440,354) malnly due to Increased Fellowshlp and Outreach costs (primaklly the
churth weekend away) partly offset by the redurtlon In staff costs arlslng from the
vacant periods befo￿ replacing staff who left during the year.
The net surplus for 2024 was £29,241 (2023,, £46,033) after charglng depreclatlon
of £19,343 (2023: £10,244) and recelvlng £10,000 from the Pre-school as a
contrlbution ft)r use of church P￿MIses.
At the year end, General Fund cash reserves were lower, at £59,742 (2023:
£91,316), largely due to the final payments In earfy 2024 for the enhanced securlty
systems and the refurblshment of the dlsabled tollet, whlch have been cap1ts115ed.
3.3 Mlsslon Fund
Mlssion Fund voluntary Income In 2024 was hlgher at £90,506 (2023: £84,885)
Includlng Gift Aid received and receivable and fully covered the Mlnlstry and
mlsslon staff support costs, The increa* was attrlbutsble to the generous
Christmas collection donatlons of £8,785 for 3 speclflc causes, as noted under
Speclal Cdlectlons below (2023: £1,055 for I cause).
Totsl Misslon Fund costs including Mlnistry and mission stsff support costs were
£86,700 (2023: £83,165). The Increase was malnly due to Short term mlsslon
support and increased support of our mlsslon links.
As a result, there was a £4,690 net Inflow of funds, includlng interest, for 2024
(2023: £2,436), increasing Mission Fund reserves at end-2024 to £63,416 {2023;
£58,726), which has provlded us with capacity to prioritise General Fund giving in
2025.
3.4 Deslgnated Funds
Designated funds are those attivities which the Trustees consider need to be
separately identified so that the income and costs associated with the relevant
activity a￿ accounted for discretely. The Designated Funds primarily consist of the
Jack & Jlll Pre-school, the Development Fund and other attivities such as the
Benevolent fund and grants received andlor awarded.

The Jack & Jill Pre-school provides weekday learnlng for children below school age
and is primarily funded by grants from Surrey County Council. Stsff costs,
sources and equipment costs in 2024 We￿ higher at £98,432 (2023: £92,994)
attributsble to growth in the number of child-sessions and minimum wage drlven
Stsff cost Increases. In addltlon, Pre-school pald £10,000 to the General Fund as
the annual contribution for usage of the Churth property. Income increased by
circa 3 % to £120, 143 (2023: £116,860), ￿flectIng the growth In child-sesslon,
covering a Significant proportion of the cost increases.
In the Development Fund regular givlng from members during 2024 totalled
£5,280, and £6,000 of lump sum gifts were recaved, (2023: £5,491 with no lump
sum gifts). Glft Ald received and receivable on the totsl glving was £1,570 (2022:
£1,373). In addltion, rentsl payments of £12,000 (2023: £24,000) were recelved
from the physlo prattlce whlch Is U￿ng the temporary bulldlngs erected mld-2023.
The ￿nts1 was front loaded In 2023 to substsntially offset the signlficant costs of
clearlng the site and Installing temporary bulldlngs.
Overall costs of £19,074 (2023.. £32,943) included £10,666 for on-going provlslon
of the temporary buildings (2023: £25,836, Includlng the costs of slte clearance
and Instsllatlon of the temporary buildlngs).
The totsl net assets of the Development Fund Increased In value by £5,776 (2023:
£2,080) to £1.860 mlllion (2023: £1.854 million). The net assets conslst of the
propertles at 158 & 1601160a Hlgh Street and the Manse at 12 Oakley Gardens,
together £1.83 mllllon (2023: £1.83 mllllon), Indudlng, as In 2023, £225,000 for
the lock-up shop (investment property) and other net assets of £29,651 (2023..
£23,875), belng malnly cash at bank.
3.5 Speclal Collectlons
Durlng 2024, the Church had one speclal Chrlstsnas offerlng collettlon for 3
reclplents. Thls was to support Hope Now wlth thelr Chrlstlan rellef efforts In
Ukralne (also supported at Chrlstmas 2023), Lahore Evangelical Misslon wlth their
work to ald the indentured workers In the local brlck klln villages and to help
support a recently widowed pastor and hls 3 Infant chIld￿n through Rlck Creighton
our misslon partner In Nlgeria.
3.6 Property Valuatlon Revlew
A valuation was carried out by Siefers Harrlson Umlted (RICS) in April 2020 whlch
supwrts the capitalised valuation of the rented 160 High Street lock-up, whlch has
been recently ￿-let to a new tenant, The development of the 158-160 High Street
buildings for Church use was completed in early 2014. They remain in very gocjd
condition, and there has been development interest In the neighbouring properties
and In the Church properties, supportlng the carrylng valuation of church
propertles.
Demand for family housing units In Banstead remalns strong, and the Trustees are
confident that the valuation remains above the purchase pri￿ at which 12 Oakley
Gardens Is held In the accounts.

Hence the Trustees consider no Impairment charge is requlred as at 31 December
2024.
3.7 Golng Concern Review
The Trustee5 give thanks to God that the Church recorded a net surplus in 2024,
notwithstanding the impart of the energy price and other inflationary pressures on
personal and Church finances, leading to a healthy reserves position over all the
funds.
There is a continuing risk that some Church memters are unable (e.g., through job
losses or wage redurtlons or Inflatlonary and Interest rate pressures) to malntsin or
Increase their regular giving from cUr￿nt levels. Additionallyft the Church may be
called upon to provlde further financial and other prattical assistance to members
affected by the on-golng cost of Ilving crlsls.
The various Church fund budgets p￿pared in early 2025 allow for benevolent
fundlng of Church members in partlcular need, and contlnulng improvement work
on the maln Church bulldlngi but indicate the overall fundlng requirement for 2025
Is manageable. The budgets include Glft Aid accruing from gifts recelved in 2024,
and some provision for lump sum givlng In 2025 (reflectlng a modest level of
addiuonal glfs).
The Trustees wlll continue to monitor the regular giving and tske approprlate steps
to manage costs, If needed, tsking Into account the General Fund resenies.
In concluslon, the Trustees conslder that, notwlthstanding the continuing economlc
Un￿rtaintie5, It Is approprlate to present the tlnancial ststements on a Golng
Concern basls.
Charlty Management
4.1 Church Leadershlp
Leadershlp throughout the Church must be Blbiical, prayerful, unlted, flexlble, listenlng and
transparent. The overall responslbillty for the legal and splritual leadership of the Church
rests with the Trustees, who are the Senior Pastor, Elders and Deacons.
Durlng 2024 the Elders and Deacons were:
Elders
Revd Kevln Newman, untll 31. July
Andrew Grimstone
Shak Sulllman
Stew Foster (previously a Deacon), from 22nd April
Alex 8ery
Alan Bowyer
Andrew Butt
Daniel Gomes, until 14th January
Andrew Evans
Nigel Paget
Fred Paton
Tim Shelley
Deacons

Elders and Deacons a￿ selected from among the serving members, usually serve for a
peri¢)d of three years, and can be reappointed. Before an Elder or Deacon is appointed or
re-appointed, the Serving Membership is giv￿ an opportunlty of indicating in writing if they
are aware of any substantive reason why the person should not be appolnted. The
appolntment of Trustees is confitTned at the annual meetlng of serving members.
Newly appoSnted Trustees are advised of their responsibilities as a Trustee of a charitsble
company and the specific requirements of the Church's govemance dc(uments. They are
also trained in the principles of Christlan leadership. The training needs of Trustees are
regularly review6J.
The Church leadership is primarlly accountable to and Is recognised by the local church,
It malntains an overslght of all Church and fellowshlp Issues. Matters of church dlsclpllne
are also handled by the Trustees, but in a strlctly confidential manner.
The Twstees met on 21 occaslons to fulfil PraYe￿IlY their ￿ponsI￿.11t1es, whlch Included
malntslnlng splritual oversight of the Church, agreelng plans for the fulfilment of the
Church's alms and objectives and allocatlng resources to achieve those plans. Thls Included
an away day wlth the Stsff Team In October with the alm of reflecting on how the Church
works for the progress in joy and falth In Chrlst of his followers.
The Trustees are satisfied that In fulfilling their resp)nsibllltles they have complied wlth the
duty to have due regard to the Charlty Commission's guldance on delivering public beneflt
from the Church's attlvltles.
4.2 Mlnistry and Servlce Structure
To fulfll the alms of the Church, the Trustees delegate ￿SpOnsibL11ty for the regular minlstry
and servlce actlvity to approxlmately 40 ministy and seplce groups, each with a group
leader. The group leader is requlred to maintsln a Blbllcal approach to thelr leadershlp and
to comply wlth the Church's operational pollcles (e.g. Health & Safety, Securlty,
Safeguarding, Dats Protertlon). The Trustees estsblish&J a new process for communlcatlon
between the ministy teams and the Trustees in 2023. Thls indudes a first polnt of contact
within the Trustees for each mlnistry leader to help resolve Issues, provide regular ur(latss
and prayer requests and establish Cwimunication belmeen the Trustees and the mlnisty
leaders.
The Serving Members meet at an annual meeting to conslder the Trustees, report and
financlal statements, and to transatt other business as deemed necessary by the Trust￿5
or determlned by the Church's governance documents.

Evangellcal AllIan￿, the largest UK organlsatlon of evangellcal Chrf5tlans
the London Gospel Partnershlpi a group of Bible bellevlng churches seeking to advan
the Chrfstlan falth.
5.4 Beneflclal Relatlonshlps
Two Trustees, Kevin Newman (untsi 31. Ju5y 2024) and Shak Sulliman are marrled to stsff
members who were flnanclally supported durlng the year.
One Trustee, Nlgel Paget, and one former Trustee, John Philllps, are Trustees of BeaconLight
Trust, a Chrlstian charity led by a former Senlor Pastor of the Church. The Trust uses the
Church premlses as Its registered and postal address and for the storage of archlves and
makes a small financial contribution to the Church.
5.5 Health and Safety and Securlty
A revlew of the securlty of the premlses was undertaken In 2022 where It was concluded
that the door access and Intruder alami systems should k replaced, wlth the addltlon of
ccrv at each external door, ccro cameras have now been Installed to two external doors
to the maln church building along wlth a new door access control system. Further updates
a￿ planned to colnclde with futu￿ development works. A further Health & Safety Audlt Is
planned for February 2025.
5.6 Safeguardlng
People working directly with chlldren, young people and vulnerable aduts are subjett to
DBS checks, carried out via Thirtyone:eight and revlewed every three years.
The Saftguardlng Offi￿r and Deputy Safeguardlng Offi￿r k￿p up to date with all matters
pertaining to safeguarding.
No Issues were reported during 2024 to the Safeguarding Officer whlch gave rl* to con￿rn
making it necessary for any to be reported to the Trustees.
The Trustees adopted an amended safeguarding pollcy In June 2024. The Trustees also
completed a study of a book called "Powerful Leader5" which was written to improve
safeguarding withln a church context. The outcomes of this study are being worked through.

Following Kevin Newman's leaving as Senior Pastor, Fred Paton was appointed as the trustee
in charge of safeguarding on an interim basls untll consideratr'on was glven to appointing
the new senior Pastor in this role.
The Trust￿5 acknowledge, and a￿logise, that the 2023 Annual Report dld not make
reference to a safeguardlng Issue whlch was of suffiaent cause for concern that it was
reported to the Trustees in May 2023. The Trustees wrote to the Serving Membership on
18 May 2023 to set out the issue and the attions that had been undertaken to resolve this
matter. The events glving rise to the safeguarding issue tcok place in a nearby workpla￿,
unrdated to the church, but members of the church were involved. During 2024 meetings
were held to support those in the church who had been affected.
5.7 Data Protectlon
The Data Protectlon Policy was reviewed with no breaches reported in the 12 month peri<xl.
5.8 Rlsks and Uncertalntles
The Trustees re4iewed and U￿lated Its Corporate Rlsk Register In February 2024.
5.9 Trustees, Accountlng and Reportlng Responslbllltles
Company law requlres the Trust￿ to prepare flnanclal statsments tr each flnanclal pericyJ
that give a true and fair view of the ststs of affairs of the Church and of the results for that
period. In preparing those flnanclal statements, the Trustees a￿ requlred to:
select sultsble accounting pollcles and then apply them conslstentlyi
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
comply with applicable accountlng standards subj'ect to any materlal departures
disclosed and explalned in the financlal statements. and
prepare the financlal Statements on the golng con￿rn basls unless It Is Inappropriate to
presume that the charity wlll continue in operatlon.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accountlng records which dlsclose wlth
reasonable accuracy at any time the flnanclal posltion of the charity and enable them to
ensu￿ that the flnancial statements comply with the Companles Att 2006. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for tsking reasonable steps
for the pre4ention and detectlon of fraud and other iwularitles.
In accordan￿ with company law, as the charltsble company's directors, we ￿rtIfy that:
so far as we a￿ aware, there is no relevant Information of whlch the charlty's
Independent Examiner Is unaware; and
as the dirertors of the charltable company we have tsken all steps that we ought to
have taken to make ourselves aware of any relevant Information and to establish that
the charity's Independent Examlner Is aware of that Information.
This report is prepared in accordan￿ with the special provlslons of the Companles Act 2006
relating to small companies.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Christchurch Banstead
I r¢port on the fmancial ststements of Christchurch Banstead for the year ¢nd¢d 31 De¢emb¢r 2024,
which are set out on pag¢s 15 to 24.
Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who a￿ also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statem¢nts in accordance with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act,).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited
under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, l T¢POrt in respect of my
examination of the charity's fmancial statements as carri¢d out under section 145 of the Chariti¢s
Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by
the Charity Commission und¢r ￿¢tion 145(b) of the 201 l Act.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity's trnstees as a
body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am
required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To ihe fullest
extent perniitt¢d by law, I do not a￿ept or assume responsibility to anyon¢ other than the charity
and the charity's trustees as a body for my exatnination work. for this report, or for th¢ statements I
have made.
Basls of Independant examlner's report
My eMmination was caffied out in accordance with the general Directions giv¢n by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
Comparison of the fmancial statements presented with those records. It also Ancludes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial stat¢m¢nts, 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 financial
ststements present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent examiner's Statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body
listed in section 145 of the 201 l Act. I confirni that l am qualified to undertake th¢ examination by
ing a qualified member of th¢ Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is
on¢ of the listed bodies.
13

In connection with my examination. which is complete. no matters have come to my attention which
giv¢ m¢ r¢asonable caus¢ to b¢lieve that in any material respKd:
aexounting records were not kept in respect of Christchurch Banstead in accordance with
section 386 of the 2006 ACL or
the financial ststements do not accord with those records; or
the fll)ancial statements do not comply with the accountin8 requir¢m¢nt$ of section 396
of the 2006 Act oth¢r than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and
fair, view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. or
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and
principals of th¢ Stat¢m¢nt of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by
charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and R¢publi¢ of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have Come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which, in my opinion. attention should b¢ drawm in ord¢r to enable a proper understanding of the
financial statements to be reached.
