THE KING'S CHURCH EPSOM
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Structure, Governance and management:
The King's Church Epsom is an incorporated company limited by guarantee; company number 6745861.
The church is governed by the Spiritual Authority of the church, which is made up of ministries and elders. Ministries and Elders are elected by a Special Resolution of a church members meeting. Membership of the church is open to all who profess a true repentance of sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and whose lives give evidence of it; have agreed with the church's doctrinal basis of faith; are enthusiastically able to embrace the vision of the church having normally followed our ‘Into the family’ course and whose applications have been agreed by the church council.
Objectives and Activities
The Charity’s objects (“the Objects”) are:-
(a) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in the Schedule to the Articles hereto attached in such ways and in such parts of Epsom and Ewell, the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit;
(b) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of Epsom and Ewell , the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit;
(c) To advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit;
(d) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life in such parts of Epsom and Ewell, the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
We meet every Sunday to worship God and teach the gospel. We maintain a full programme throughout the week, including prayer meetings and home groups for fellowship and bible study. We run extensive youth programmes for all ages for both the youth in the church and the community. We run regular training sessions to equip and raise up leaders. We touch the lives of the community through clubs for old and young, and via outreach on the streets.
We are actively engaged in supporting overseas ministry through indigenous churches and leaders.
Achievements and Performance
In pursuing our activities the Trustees have had a due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on operating for the public benefit.
We seek to maintain enough reserves to cover three months of expenses including salaries and running costs. Our principal source of funding is regular giving from Church members. We typically organise gift days and special offerings approximately twice a year for particular needs. In addition, we receive gifts for the use of our building from the outside community. We did not pursue gift days in 2021 in deference to the negative financial impact of Covid that some in the church community may have been experiencing. Also because of Covid we experienced a reduction in the use of the building and associated financial gifts.
It is the policy of the Church to maintain enough cash reserves to cover three months of expenses including salaries and running costs. This currently equates to reserves of around £60k. We finished the year with almost £100k, which amounts to a variation of £40k above the policy.
Covid 19 compliant measure continued into 2021, with a relaxing and tightening in accordance with the latest national trends and advice. The measures included: restricting room access, one way system, using wipeable chairs, hand and equipment sanitisers, social distancing, staggered leaving, no pre or after service socialising, a booking system against a maximum capacity and more frequent cleaning regime. This approach offered reasonable safeguards for attendees at all times. A virtual service continued to be offered in parallel at this time.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Covid 19 will have had some impact on income (though less than in 2020), because rental income is down and some loss of giving that would have come through physical offerings of cash and cheques at Sunday services. However, some of this has been offset by a reduction in costs through a reduction in building running costs such as cleaning during the period when the building was effectively closed.
In person gatherings became more dominant as the year progressed with a service to mark coming back together being in June. Even so we have continued to live stream for those who preferred to watch online.
The investment in salaries and building maintenance enables us to run the weekly programme to meet the needs of the Church and the community. Beyond this there is a lot of volunteer time given to enabling the Church to operate, which at a conservative estimate equates to another 10 FTE of staff time. The worship team was significantly developed in the summer. This included one additional paid post for a person combining worship leading skills and audio/visual abilities. However, a gap was left in building maintenance/compliance by the stepping down of the volunteer who had been covering that role.
The part-time Youth Worker left the post in January 2020 and the Administrator in March 2020. The paid vacancies for part-time Youth Worker and Administrator were carried during the 2021. The church continued to employ the Pastor and Children’s Worker. A few members continued to participate in leadership training.
We support full time missionaries overseas in accordance with our vision to be a church with a world mission.
Trustees continued to monitor church compliance with health and safety and safeguarding polices.
Spiritual leadership is provided by a team of Elders, in which the Pastor is also the lead Elder. One of the Elders stepped down from the role at the end of the year. Some time was given to team development and options for succession planning, and how areas of responsibility can be better delegated to the right level of leadership.
The Church is part of “Commission” which is geographical grouping of around 50 New Frontiers International churches. The Lead Elder (Pastor) continued studies for a master’s degree in theology facilitated by Commission. Leaders and the wider Church participated in regular online events of worship, encouragement, wider community awareness amongst the family of churches and training.
The church had around 120 Members during the year.
The Church was represented on both Epsom and Ewell Churches Together.
Object 1: To advance the Christian faith…
We have been able to maintain some of Christian activities throughout the year, at times of lockdown using virtual means for Sunday services, home groups, prayer meetings, children and youth activities and other gatherings. When the church returned to regular in person meetings, we experienced some new regulars who first came across the church as a result of its online presence.
A number of new opportunities for online prayer were started, and a few additional online fellowship and Bible study groups were launched and added to the already established ones to enlarge our capacity for providing weekly Christian gatherings in small groups.
An opportunity for some to develop in their discipleship was pursued through the running of the Freedom in Christ course, which this year was run online from January for eleven weeks. There were also online sessions advertised on social media for times to answer some of the difficult questions asked about the Bible. A new church website was developed, which among other things incorporates testimonies about the Christian faith, frequently asked questions and other resources for those wishing to find out more about Christianity. A regular outreach was broadcast via Instagram from the Pastor and a younger Church member.
We are involved in supporting a network of church activities in Serbia and we continued regular support to Calvary Ministries in Mozambique. The church sent out and provided partial financial support for two new missionaries going into Germany. Joint online meetings facilitated the sharing of good practice between mission partners.
We regularly hired out the premises for use by a Brazilian church, with a break during the full lockdown period.
Four people were baptised.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Object 2: To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health…
We continued to make the premises freely available to a group which provides a social and support space for the homeless, unemployed and socially isolated. This was restarted after the Covid suspension in September.
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Fresh Start courses (for people with addictions) were run for three people on individualised on-line courses (the third of these was unbranded as CAP had ceased to support the course by that point in time).
CAP also reopened the local Debt Centre at which one of our Church members is the debt coach. Take up has shown an increase in new clients since the end of the lockdowns and restrictions. Many cases have multiple issues around housing, mental health, as well as debt, reflecting the tangle of problems post Covid.
The Mid Surrey Community Fridge ran from our premises from November.
We continued regular support to the charity 5000+ which works in a number of countries to teach and train communities to make the most out of the skills and resources with which they are already blessed. This has resulted in numerous stories where the economic situation of whole villages has been changed for the good.
We renewed contact with the New Beginning’s Home in Albania which provides care for children who might otherwise have challenging domestic situations.
We have also continued to operate a welfare fund to enable a financial pool to be available to help those in the church community facing acute monetary pressures.
In conjunction with Epsom Churches Together we continued to pursue establishing housing for the ‘homeless’ under the auspices of the charity “Hope Into Action”. The first house was purchased in March, and a number of regulars received training to become befrienders and support to tenants.
We also launched an initiative to support vulnerable people and provide hot meals to people in the community on Christmas Day. Around 25 guests were catered for.
Object 3: To advance education…
We continued with regular financial support to Spinnaker which is a Christian charity that offers support to schools with covering faith aspects of the national curriculum.
Hires for educational and creative groups for both the older generation (U3A) and the younger (Moo Music) restarted in the year.
Object 4: To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals…
In relation to in person children’s work there were Easter activities for the younger age group, a three-day summer club for 10- to 14-year-olds and a Halloween alternative party for that same age group.
The 14+ group completed the Freedom in Christ course online and rounded it up with a 3-day interactive activity-based weekend away at PGL Merchant Hill.
A ‘Tea and chat’ group for people in the community to come together for light refreshments, company and entertainment restarted in the September.
Friday Fizz, our parent and toddler ministry was suspended during the whole period.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review
The Trustees report a surplus of £37,041 income over expenditure this year, compared to a surplus of £33,366 in the previous financial year.
The Trustees are of the opinion that the charity is financially viable and can continue to meet its liabilities, when they fall due.
Statement of Director's responsibilities:
The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed , subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
I approve the attached statement of financial activities and balance sheet for the year ended 31 December 2021, and confirm that I have made available all information necessary for its preparation.

Church Premises
The land for the church site was acquired in November 1982 for approximately £14,000. The original building was constructed in May 1983 at an approximate cost of £85,000. Additional loans from UKET and NWB were utilised towards the extension and furnishing of the buildings on the site and was completed in May 1993. All loans relating to these costs were cleared by September 2000. The property was revalued by Jonathan Berney Consultant Surveyors and Valuers on 5 August 2009. An additional loan from Triodos Bank was taken out during 2009 to fund an extension of the church buildings and further drawdowns were taken from Triodos Bank during 2010. The percentage split shown above between the land and building element is calculated based on the original cost prices.

15. DIRECTORS AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES
Out of pocket expenses were repaid to directors. No other payments were made to directors or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a director or any person connected with them.
16. RISK ASSESSMENT
The directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The directors have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
17. RESERVES POLICY
The directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The directors aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. The policy is described in more detail in the directors report.
18. PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the directors report. The directors confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.
As the charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
Responsibilties and basis of report
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity'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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
· the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable 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.
