DBC Report for Charity Commission Annual Return relating to 2024 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 lo support the public benefit requirement. Charitable Object The Charity is governed by an Approved Governing Document which slates Ihat Ihe 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 comp8tible wlth the above object. Organisational Structure and Decision Making Process The overall responsibility for decisions and policy rests with Church Members. A rninimum of four Members Meetings are held each calendar year. Members af the Church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution which requires them lo have been publically baplised by immersion upon personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. In addition, Church Members, Meeting may also accept into mombei'ship others, b<ised on their own public declaration of faith. The oversight of the day-lo-day work of the Church is the responsibility of the Trustees, which is led by the Lead Minister. He is supported by the other Minislers. Church Secretary, Finance Trustee and the Church-elected Trustees. As well as sharing in the overall oversight, the Ttustees have particular areas of responsibility, which is carried out with 8 frame-wark of sub-teams. The Portuguese-speaking congregation appointed a new Pastor, Pastor Paulo da Silva Santos on 1 st April 2024, afler the relii-ement of Pastor Marcos. They are led by a separate leadership team and are overseen by the Lead Minister, Nigel Bayley. Relevant mallers may be submitted to the Church Meeting by the Trustees for guidance, or may be raised by mernbers of the Church Meeling for further consideration by the Trustees. Though the Constitution permits decisions to b8 made at Church Meetings by appropriate majorities, the Church seeks to work by consensus whenever possible. The Church is served by Rev. Nigel Bayley as Lead Minister, Dave Ward as Associate Minister, Thiago Vajas Simoes as Minisler-in-Training and Pastor Paolo da Silva Santos as Pastor to the Portuguese-speaking congregation. The Church operates systems to ensure that all people working with children, young people and adults at risk are appropriately vetted with regard to the Disclosure and Barring Service and regularly trained in safeguarding. We also train our volunteers in fire-safety. We are also fully aware of and compliant with the Data Protection Act.
Objectives and Activities In order lo acliieve the principal objective which is set out above, Ihe Church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is lo show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and lo bring people into a closer relationship with Him as our living Lord, Below is a 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. These generally occur on Sundays for the English-speaking congregation and Saturday evenings for the Portuguese-speaking congreg8tion. Both services have a programme of youth and children's activities. We 25so have a more Ii'aditional service once a month, which happens before the main service. All services. including those with communion and baptism, are advertised on the church website at www.dere In all we do, we seek lo be a friendly and welcoming community lo all, and DBC is a Sight Loss Friendly and a dementia-friendly church, as well as being registered to The Welcome Directory. The Church runs Christian discipleship courses al various limes and to encourage fellowship and spiritual development, there are mid-week Connect groups and smaller Thrive groups. The Church also holds regular prayer meetings, al least three times a week. We also have a group for young adults lo learn and grow together. Furiher delails are obtainable from the church office. As part of reaching out lo tho community. the Church holds weekly baby and toddler groups, both al the church and in the Toftwood area of Dereham, about a mile away. Twice a month there is also a family-focussed service in Toflwood and on the third Sunday ofeach month the Church holds an All-a9e service. The Church runs a bible-journaling group on Thursday mornings and a Coffee Shop on Friday mornings Ioereham market dayl which are both open to all and any in our community. In addition to the work of the Church itself, DBC has a conslruclive partnership wilh Love Dereham (social action), Green Pastures Christian Bookshop, Kidz Klub (children's group) and Dereham Churches Together. The Church also has a Christians Against Poverty (CAPI Debt Centre which employs 2 people, a Debt Centre Manager and a Community Links Coordinalor. Through this debt centre, we also run budgeting courses, including the CAP Money Course. To facilitate the work of Love Dereham, Green Pastures and CAP, DBC has leased premises ir) NopNich Street, a short distance from the church building in the town centre, called the Green Pastures Community Hub. Both Green Pastures and Love Dereham are listed charities that we partner with in the hub, where there is a Christian bookshop, a Community Fridge and an opportunity for any In our community to be welcomed, listened to and helped. Also, we have made significant changes lo the rear of our church building and land in the last year. This has included crealir)g a new entrance which has enabled the building lo be more visible and accessible to our local community. Outside of our local community. the Church supports olher mission work, both in the UK and overseas.
Achievements and Performance The Church does not measure the success of its programme solely in numbers, either numerical or financial, bul rather in less tangible areas like spiritual growth, fellowship, encouragement ar)d having a posilive impact on our local community. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure, bul believe that 2024 was a positive year in the life of the Churcli and that il will be glad to continue to pursue its mission purposes in 2025. There has been one baptism conducted at DBC during January lo December 2024 and the church had 7 enter into membership, taking our membership lo 185 at the end of 2024. In addition to that, we have had many others join our congregation, and the Church now provides splrilual and pastoral care for well over 300 people. Financial Review DBC is blessed to have a faithful and generous congreg81ion who supply the finances to support the work and mission of the church. In addition to these donations, the Church has also been supported by grants and crowdfunding schemes, for specific areas of capital spend works. From this SUPPOrt. DBC in turn is able to give financial support lo other mission work and other Christian organisalions both in this country and abroad, whose aims and objectives are compatible with the Church's own charitable purpose. The financial results for the year January to December 2024 are sel out in the Church Accounts which accompdriy this report. The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy and the Members, Meeting has agreed to hold a minimum Cash Reserve equivalenl to Iwo month's costs, plus a further £5000 for any emergency F)uilding works. The Trustees are satisfied Ihal they have sufficient reserves, logelher with 8nlicipaled ongoing income. to fur)clion effectively during the coming year. Each year the Trustees prepare a financial forecast which, when established that il meets the reserve largels, is presented to the Members. Meeting for approval. 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, repart above. Signed on behalf of the Charity's Trustees Nigel ey.
