The Trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for 2022
Public Benefit
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The remainder of this report illustrates the activities undertaken to support the public benefit requirement.
Charitable Object
The Charity is governed by an Approved Governing Document which states that the principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Church shall determine.
The Church occupies premises which are held by the Baptist Union Corporation Ltd, on Trusts which are entirely compatible with the above object.
Organisational Structure and Decision Making Process
Members of the church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution which requires them to have been publicly baptised by immersion upon personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ, with the Church Members’ Meeting exercising discretion in exceptional cases.
The Members Meeting normally takes place six times a year and has responsibility for the overall policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint trustees who together with the Minister(s), Church Secretary and Treasurer (who are also appointed by the Members), and collectively known as the Leadership and are responsible for the day to day running of the church’s work and witness, and the financial and legal tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objects.
Relevant matters may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustees for guidance, or may be raised by members in Church meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. Though the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church meetings by appropriate majorities, the Church seeks to work by consensus wherever possible.
Objectives and Activities
In order to achieve the principal objective which is set out above, the Church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord.
Summary of the main activities in relation to these objectives:
Central to the work and witness of the Church is the provision of regular public services of Christian Worship. Services take place at 9.00am on two Sundays a month, 10.30am each Sunday and on Saturday evenings at 6pm which is a Portuguese Speaking Service. There are also occasional services at other times. All services are advertised on the church website at www.derehambaptist.org. There is a full children’s programme during the 10.30am morning Service, and 6pm Saturday service. The church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community and anybody is free to attend any of these services.
The church runs Connect Groups and smaller Thrive groups for growth and discipleship. Further details are obtainable from the church office.
The church runs a Community based project group for parents and children twice a month on a Sunday morning in the village hall in Toftwood about a mile away and also on every Wednesday morning. There is also an All-Age service at the church once a month.
We have a youth church on a Sunday morning which also meets socially on Sunday evenings. Also, a youth support group meets regularly in our building during the week.
The Church runs Oasis every Thursday, which is a drop-in for adults.
The Church runs a Coffee Shop on Friday mornings (Market Day) for all ages of the Community.
The Church runs discipleship and Alpha courses at various times.
The Church supports a number of overseas missionaries.
The church runs occasional Open Days, Fairtrade and other events which are open to the public to attend.
The Church’s charity runs Let’s Chat, a Listening Service in the Christian Bookshop Mon-Thu mornings each week. The Community Fridge project is also held here. This charity also supports migrant workers by holding English classes one evening a week and also sign language lessons. CRIB meets regularly at the church, which is a group for those who have lost a loved one.
The Church works with other churches on joint projects such as Town Pastors and Foodbank.
The Church operates systems to ensure that all people working with children, young people and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted with regard to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
The church facilitates regular CAP Money courses and has this year opened a CAP Debt Centre
The church is actively involved in community events, including the switching on of Christmas lights. DBC is a dementia-friendly and a Sight Loss Friendly Church.
Achievements and Performance
The church does not measure the success of its programme solely in numbers, either numerical or financial but also in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2022 was a positive year in the life of the church and that it will be able to continue to pursue its mission purposes in 2023. One Baptism was conducted in March 2022 and we had many new members, and on 31st December the membership stood at 183.
Financial Review
The church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation.
The Church is served by Rev. Nigel Bayley as Lead Minister and David Ward as Associate Minister.
The church is also served by Pastor Marcos Hernandez as part-time Pastor to the Portuguese speaking congregation, and continues to provide pastoral care and support for the Portuguese congregation.
The church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making grants to other Christian organisations both in this country and abroad whose aims and objectives are compatible with the church’s own charitable purpose.
The church is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the church’s activities. Many of these have little impact on the church finances but contribute greatly to the achievement of the church’s objectives.
In 2019 the membership agreed to rent a shop which would be larger premises for the Christian bookshop (Green Pastures). This contains a community area together with an office to facilitate CAP Debt Centre and Love Dereham, and a smaller shop premises used by DBC as a prayer and meeting room. Green Pastures and Love Dereham are both listed charities.
The financial results for the year are set out in the church accounts which accompany this report.
The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy which equates to the equivalent of two month’s income. They are satisfied that they have sufficient reserves, together with anticipated ongoing income to function effectively during the coming year.
The Trustees have made an assessment of the major risks facing the church and are satisfied that there are policies in place to minimise these risks.
Declaration
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above.

Eric Southwick&co CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dereham Baptlst Church I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31st December 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 10. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Iruslees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Actl and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility lo.. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act., to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act., and to slate whether particular matters have come lo my attention. Basis of independent examiner's report 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 those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of 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 lo whether the accounts present a "true and fair view. and the report is limited to the mallers set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.. 111 which gives me reasonable Cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act,. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been mel., or 121 to which, in my opinion, attention Should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts lo be reached.
