Structure, Governance and Management
Cosham Baptist Church is a charitable unincorporated association governed by its constitutional (approved governing) documents.
The church is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) and of the Southern Counties Baptist Association (SCBA) and supports the activities and funds of both these. Church Membership is open to all who:
-
Accept the beliefs of the church.
-
Meet the church’s qualification on Baptism.
-
Commit themselves to serving Christ within the church and beyond.
-
Abide by the decisions of the Church Members’ Meeting.
-
Acknowledge their responsibilities as church members.
-
Have their membership application accepted by the Church Members’ Meeting
The usual mode of entry into church membership is following baptism by immersion upon personal profession of faith. However, Cosham Baptist Church has an open membership policy, so that persons seeking membership who have not been baptised in the manner described may at the discretion of the of the Church Members’ Meeting be accepted into full membership based on their own public profession of faith.
Ministers (who are also Trustees) are called (elected) by a majority vote of church members and serve until they resign or are voted out by church members at an extraordinary church members’ meeting. Church Deacons (who are also Trustees) are elected from the church members by secret ballot usually at the church’s Annual General Meeting and serve for three-year periods before needing re-election.
All new Trustees are given a copy of the Charity Commissioners current leaflet/guide on being a charity trustee and relevant BUGB/SCBA guidance. They are entitled, should they wish, to attend a training day at the church’s expense to further clarify their knowledge. The Trustees meet usually once per month to review the activities of the church and make decisions regarding the church’s activities.
Church Members are entitled to attend church meetings in person and are now also entitled to view meetings online and vote remotely if they are unable to attend in person.
Ordinary Church Members’ Meetings are held at regular intervals on not less than four occasions in any calendar year and normally bimonthly. These are an opportunity to consider and review routine matters associated with the life of the Church including issues related to church membership.
One Ordinary Church members meeting each year includes the Annual Church members meeting for the church members to receive annual accounts and reports, to appoint Auditors or Independent Examiners and to consider proposals for the strategy and vision of the church in the coming year.
An Extraordinary (Special) Church members’ Meeting can be convened when necessary to consider the appointment or dismissal of a Minister, matters related to the purchase, sale, lease, mortgage or redevelopment of church property or matters considered by the Charity Trustees to be of sufficient importance to require the calling of a Special members’ Meeting.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during 2023:
During 2023 the Church slowly returned to its pre-Covid condition. Attendance at Sunday Morning Services increased, and other events re-started.
During the year, the leaders met with Revd Jonathan Woodhouse – a local retired Baptist Minister who facilitated our discussions about the future Ministry of the Church. This was an extremely useful exercise for us as a Team to do and we are grateful to Jonathan for his help during this period.
One of the aims of the Leadership during 2023 was to try to provide a warm welcome for people coming to our Sunday Morning Service. Almost every Sunday we have someone new come to the Church. Thank you to those who provide the tea/coffee and conversation before & after the service to help provide this welcome.
The Leadership has also tried to provide other opportunities for all ages in the Church to come together socially to get to know each other better. We have had “bring-and-share” lunches after the Sunday Morning services, “Connect” where all ages can come together to play games but also to share prayers. We held a “Harvest Fun day” where over 250 local people visited the site enjoying the facilities. This has brought new people into our Church.
The Church opened its facilities on a Wednesday morning to provide a “Warm Welcome” centre where members of the local community could come together & meet with others in a warm environment.
Page 3
Several people who attended these sessions , then started attending the Sunday Morning Services and other Church events.
The Church also celebrated the Coronation together. Inviting Members & local people to watch together on the big screen.
During the Summer the Church ran a week long Youth Camp in a local field where younger people could enjoy activities and meeting with the Lord.
Thanks to the Team replacing the old light bulbs with more energy efficient LED bulbs, this will helps keep the Church’s energy bills down and helps towards being more energy efficient and reduces global warming.
We welcomed back “Marie” on furlough from the overseas Mission field and have prayed with her on where the Lord may take her next to serve.
The Leadership set up a new life group meeting early on a Sunday evening to watch and discuss “The Chosen”.
The Church is very dependent on its volunteers, so Thank You for all those who help to provide a warm welcoming atmosphere for those who visit us and in helping them seek the Lord.
Our aging buildings need attention, the flat roofs need renewal and asbestos has been discovered under the chapel floor. However, before but before committing expenditure to simply fix these problems, we have decided to review our building options to consider whether a more extensive rebuild would better serve the church’s needs going forwards.
During the year, the Leadership reflected on the way the church was changing during the post COVID recovery period. We asked the church meeting to help us identify the areas which would benefit from additional input. These included pastoral care and the spiritual needs of the growing number of senior citizens attending during the week. As a result of this we have recruited a part time Pastoral Team Leader for a fixed period of one year to help us explore the best way of meeting the church’s needs going forwards.
We continue to hire out our Church Hall & other rooms to provide local groups with a place to meet. These groups include the NHS, various cancer support groups and neonatal support groups.

Financial Review
Our overall income for the year 1st January 2023 to 31[st] December 2023 was £227,355 balanced against an expenditure of £188,059 resulting in a surplus over the year of £39,296.
The main source of income for the church remains the generous voluntary giving of its members and other regular attenders. Most of this came from Standing Orders which amounted to £91,009 over the year, a decrease of £5,167 over the previous year. This was partially compensated by Sunday offerings and one-off donations (including legacies) which totalled £33,364, an increase of £3,696 on last year. From the donations received for the general offering and standing orders combined, we were able to claim £21,975 in Gift Aid, a decrease of £869 over last year’s amount.
We did benefit from an increase in income from Hall Hirings which amounted to £53,997, an increase of £3,872 compared to 2022. We very much appreciate the hard work of our Office Manager in achieving this increase.
We continue to experience challenges with our aging building which has resulting in necessary repairs for the heating system, roofs, the lift and replacement of a Fire Door. This resulted in costs of £13,033. Our insurers funded building work to repair cracks in one of the rooms adjoining the chapel, thought to be due to soil erosion from a faulty drain.
We also spent £1,393 on refurbishing the manse and following this have been able to let it until it is needed.
Children, Youth and Families generated an income of £10,610 from fees for children attending various activities, camps and clubs. This was balanced against an expenditure of £7,256 which resulted in a surplus of £3,524 over the year.
At the end of the year, we had £92,965 in our General Fund, there was £12,010 in the fund designated for Children, Youth and Families and £3,400 in the Bethany Fund, which works with Senior Citizens. The Fellowship Fund retained £697.
All in all, our reserves were £97,064 plus an additional £11,815 held by Children, Youth and Families.
Brief Statement of the Charity’s Policy on Reserves
The trustees have agreed that our policy on reserves would remain unchanged at a reserve threshold of £45,000. This would be sufficient to enable a controlled closure over a period of three months in the event of a sudden complete cessation of income. Although we would need to give some members of staff more than three months’ notice, the Trustees considered that a sudden complete cessation of income was an unlikely scenario. It would be more likely that there would be a gradual loss of income, and in these circumstances, reserves would be needed to enable us to tailor our spending to the new circumstances.
At the end of 2023, our reserves totalled £97,064, well above our reserve limit. However, the Trustees are aware that we continue to face a challenging financial situation. Income has been impacted by a decrease in our membership which has resulted in a reduction in regular giving. Recently, regular attenders have increased, and this has been reflected in an increase in ad hoc giving, but not yet
Page 5
sufficient to make up for the shortfall in regular giving. A hall hirer, who was paying a regular retainer to use our rooms on three days a week, has stopped this arrangement. We may be able to increase ad hoc bookings to compensate, but it may take several months before we know what the overall effect on our income will be.
Additional expenditure is required if we are to increase our staffing levels to meet the church’s needs. Also funds must be identified to make sure our buildings are suitable for future requirements.
All these factors have introduced considerable uncertainty into our finances at present, and it will be several months before we can determine the overall long-term effect on our financial model. The Trustees will need to monitor the financial situation and our reserves closely to ensure that the church remains financially viable.

Independent Examiner’s report
Accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2023
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s statement
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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Stephen Hendy Date: 30[th] May 2024
