The prinaw purpose of lh8 Church is the advceMent of the Christian faith according to the prfnciples of the Baptist denomination. The Churth may also adva education and carry out other charitable purposes in ts United Kingdom andlor other parts of Ihe worfd. The aim is to sh¢yw the love of Jesus Christ in both Yrd and deed and to bn'ng peotAe into a doser relats'onship with Him as living Lord. The mission stateEnt aUratelY refie(as the actiyibes that en(Jmpass the lulfilment of the charlty aims. The mission statent is". "Ordinary people. ma.ng an extraordinary Gryj knuwn. Come as you are. Join in. Be transformed." The Trustees confim) that they have taken into ar£ount the Chanty Commission's general guidance on wblic bemfrt when rnMebYitYJ the mission, purp08e and objectives and in carying out the Church actilthies.

Any degree of Chge 18 dep8ndtt on the vivwpoint of the Obsepr. In addition to Sunday 8érvlc•8, both in person 8nd onlinè, and associated chlldren's provislon wlde range of midweek t[knbe8 are fimily esiabli8hed and o)ntinue to flourish. Many of these actiwtios are open to anyone from our l¢xal comrThJnty, irrespxts.ve of whether they wou con8ider themsdves to be affiliated with the church or not. As well as the wular weekly activiti'es for children and young people we al80 ran our annual Youih Weekend Away event, an Easter Holiday Club for primary W children. a Family Fun Day and facilrtataj young people in attendlng Christian Summer Camp8. Our Well Belng Calé, F)d Hub, Coffee and Bchv18 and the various youth and childrnn's groups all continue to be popu18r within the local communty. We have extended our caf8 provision to welcome pafents whilst the Friday evening Child,$ aCts'V dub runs and again during the annual Easter Holiday Club. Ongoing communty relab'onships are continually fostered and advan¢xl en8bling the church to beco a focus for communty-focused events and seNices such as havlng social prescribers atterKling our Well Being Cafe to probide ad and introducing SPEAK language sessions. Alongside our weekly Food Hub. we introduced a monthly communty lunch which provides a free t#)t meal to a handtul of pewe in local (x)mmunty. Discussions will be had in 2025 as to whether to expwld this provision. We ccmtinue to enUrage people to see thern8d as part crf a church family rather than "dients. of various sep¥ices that we offer. and where possible we enUrage nEAyX)rS trj join in. serving within one of our teams or becoming invokved with wider church lrfe and actiiities. The church is fortunate to have many people who give of their time to volunteer in various aspects of the running of the church. There is a paid slaff team who undertake the core ministry and administration of the
diurch bul many volunteers help resour( all aspects of running the church's ivilies both mid- week and on Sundays. The church family grew during the year with a number of new memberyJ and bapti8ms. We continue to work in partnership wrth other local thurches and have a good relationship with our local schools, tsking aSSeMleS and seasonal services. During 2024 we Continued to consider a Fossible building project to create mre flexibility in how the premises may be used and to be able to offer increasing rnMunty focused athvities. The church membership •3reed to apwnt arthrtects to prepare some fully costed plans to better infom) the next stage of decision making in this resFd. This process wbll continue into 2025.

Investment in(xme was £28,873 in 2024, an Incre of 7% compared to the previous year {2023 - £26,997).

Expenditure on maintaining the church 8fKI freehold prenMse8 reduced from £72.120 in 2023 to £49,972 durlng 2024. The higher amount in the previou8 year was due to signfficant work undertaken in repairing the church roof and replaa'ng the church's windryw8. We have made wovision to replace the windows at one of the rental properties from reserves dunng 2025. Despite the economic dimale the thurth continued to 8UPPOrt 88veral third paty ¢xu8es with a signrficant amount 8ent to BMS World Mission, Bethesda, the Indian orphanage chartiy that the church supports, Dignlty and the Purple Community Fund (PCF) and fvrKIs 8ent to 8UPPOrt humanrtarian efforts in ar d the worfd sufforing from both natural disasters and conflict hotSIts.

Restricted ftjnds are funds which are to be used in ac(x)rdance wilh spectfic restrictions imposed by the donor or the temi of speafic appeal. Further ewanation of the nature and purpose of exh fund is induded in the notes lo the alounts. 6. Incomlng Resources All incoming r&sources are recA)gnised once the drity has entitlement to the resources. ri Is prob8ble thal the resources will b8 received, and the monetsry value of incorrANJ resoum be measured wth sufficient reliability.

Tanglblo Flx•d A1 Assets over the value of £500, with a ugeful life of more than year8, are CataIlS8d. Depr8cAation is Ided on tanglble fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of an 8sset, less its estimated residu81 value. over the expect* useful ecorn)nyc lrfe of th81 asset. as follows: FreelKld propety- 1% on cost on a stwlrt line basis Church impr0Ments- 1% on ry)st on a straigm line basis FreelKJld improvennts. 5% on cosl on a straght hne b8 EqUipn1- &20% on cost on 8 straight line basis The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is detemiined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset. and is recogniSl in the Staternnt of financial lryties.
Th8 orfglnal cost ot the church premises is not known. However. the depreciated cost of the major Improvements made since 2007 is con&'dered to adequately provide a net tM)ok value of the current buildings. Investment property, which is property held to eam rentals andlor for captial 8ppreoation, is initially recognised at cost, which indudes the purch&8e cost and any diredy aiiributable experKliture. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profrt or loss. 10. Penslo The charity operates a defined contribulion plan lor its employees. A defined contributlon plan is a penslon Plan under which the charty pays fixed (x)ntribulions into a separate erttty.

Amounts not paid arn sh(yn in accrua18 in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held 8eparately from the charity in an independently administered furKI. Prior to 2012 penslon provFsion was made through multl•mployer defin8d benefit pension plans. )Miere It Is not PO88ible for the charity to obtsin suffiaent inf0MlI0n to enatle it to ac0nI for a plan a8 a defined benefit plan, il accounts for tho plan a8 a defined contribution plan. iere the plan is, or was, in defiiit and where the Lanty has agreed, with the plan, to pa1cAPa18 in a deficit funding arrangement. the charity reo)gnises a liability for this Olgation. The amount recognised is the net pr8sent value ol the contributions payable under the agreement that relate to the defictt. The unwinding of the disUnt is recognised as a finance cost and any other change in the measurement of this Ilablllty 18 expensed to the Statement of FinarKial Activitie8. 11.

In preparing finane481 statements certain judgements. eslimates arKI assumw'ons have to be made that affect the amounts recognised In the fina81 Statements. The tNstees LX)nsider fv foll<Ming to be signfficant.. The annual depreciation charge for property. plant and equipment is sensiti¥* to changes in the estimates for useful ec<Jnomi¢ life residual value. These estimates are reasses annually and, when necessary, adjusted to refiect ojrrent arcumstances. 12
