MANVERS STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, BATH
Trustee Report for the Financial Year ending 31[st ] March 2022
1. Constitution
Manvers Street Baptist Church (MSBC) approved a Revised Constitution at a Special Church Members Meeting on 9 November 2008 and was adopted as a registered Charity on 2 February 2009 (Charity No.1127828).
2. Organisation
MSBC moved to its current site 1872 but its origins date from 1752 with a Baptist community worshipping in the city centre. MSBC is understood to mean the members of the charitable unincorporated association governed by its current constitution and Trust Deed. The members appoint a Board of Trustees (also known as Deacons) who are responsible for the governance of the church as discerned by the Members Meeting. The Church is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the West of England Baptist Association, who administer the Trust Deed. For financial purposes and Trustee 'service' the Church's annual year starts from 1 April. As at that date in 2022 the church had 89 members.
3. Objectives of the Charity
The principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination, with special emphasis to the city centre environment. The church may also advance Christian Teaching and carry out other charitable purposes at home and abroad.
4. Serving Trustees
Serving Trustees (effective from April 2021)
Rev'd Andy Percey Chair (Minister/Pastor) Alison Bull Treasurer John Bodey Christopher Buddell Isabel Buddell Deborah Curtis Patrica North Tom Winsborough
5. Appointment of Trustees
Trustees (excepting Minister, Secretary and Treasurer) are appointed for a term of office lasting three years with the opportunity to serve one further three year term of office if elected. After two terms of office the trustee must take a sabbatical of at least one year. The Minister serves for his/her tenure of office and the Secretary and Treasurer are appointed annually.
6. Staffing
The church supports an accredited Minister of Religion on a full-time basis.
The church also employs a full-time employee on Centre Management and Community Development. This employee has line management responsibility for the Office Administrator (part time), two Caretakers (part time) who live on the premises and for a number of volunteer staff who work in the Cate. The Office Administrator's tasks include room lettings and office support duties. At the start of the church year the premises were, as a result of HMG Covid-19 legislation, under partial lockdown.
Trustee Report 2021-22
During this time the church staff (not the Minister) were on part-time furlough due to the lack of work available. Since 1 October all staff have been 'off furlough' and back working their normal hours.
7. Achievements and Performance
Another exceptional year in the life of the church. Up until the end of September, the world-wide Coronavirus pandemic has meant that the active life of the church has been curtailed in one way or another. However, we thank God that, to date, the Church at Manvers Street has lost no-one to Covid19.
We also thank God that we have been able to meet for Sunday worship and on Wednesdays with social distancing arrangements in place. There have been six Church Members Meetings in the year and seven Trustees (Deacons) Meetings (one on Zoom the rest in-person). The Cate at the Centre Resource Group met once during the reporting period.
Reverend Andy Percey completed his seventh year as our minister. Andy's leading of worship is both thoughtful and inspiring and his pastoral gifts are much appreciated in the wider fellowship.
The Cafe at the Centre has re-opened and the footfall is gradually increasing but it will take some time for many of our former customers to regain the confidence to come along regularly as in previous years. We experimented with opening on Saturdays to supply a service to those in town to attend the local rugby team playing 'up the road'. So far this has not proved a success. The cafe's primary role is providing a sanctuary in a busy city centre and is an important aspect of the church's-outreach.
The cafe also provides an ideal base for outreach, where an open invitation can invite togetherness. Examples of weekly gatherings involving the church and wider community are:
Crafty Monday, on a Monday afternoon, is time when "people meet people" in a relaxed atmosphere and explore creativity in a variety of ways.
Baby and Toddlers group meet on Tuesday.
Open Space Post Natal Group
Friday and Saturday nights as a base for Street Pastors
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) operate a debt counselling service from our premises. This complements the work of other charitable organisations based in our facilities. These include:
Julian House Night Shelter and homeless services
Off The Record counselling service for young people - including an 'OK Cafe' on a Friday evening
CRUSE counselling
Food Bank
Once again, from November through March we made our largest room and kitchen available as a 'safe Sleep' for homeless individuals who would otherwise be sleeping rough over those very cold nights.
Trustee Report 2021-22
Examples of other non-church not-for-profit activities based in or using our premises (in normal times) are: i
Alcoholics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous University of the Third Age (U3A)
Workers Education Association Bath Welcomes Refugees English Language classes and Homework Club for Teenagers Bath MIND Various choirs and study groups
These are slowly re-starting and getting into their normal routine.
The minister spends an afternoon a week at Bath University as part of an ecumenical chaplaincy team, and hopes to explore ways of engaging students more widely in the city with those of older generations, working in partnership with the University and other local churches. He currently visits two local care homes on a monthly basis to lead services for residents. He also leads a group of parents in a monthly study exploring and deepening their Christian faith as many find Sunday mornings hard to engage with because of family situations. Our Centre Manager is engaged in work with Babies & Toddlers, Open the Book at a local primary school, Bath Gateway Out and About Club for vulnerable adults and also in the Cafe at the Centre.
We continue to give financial support to the Baptist Union Home Mission Fund (£2,400) and Baptist Missionary Society (£2,400). We also gave (£1,456) to the Ukraine Disaster appeal and (£516) to Off The Record.
The church remains in a healthy place in its mission and its worship. There are always challenges with an ageing congregation, especially pastorally, but we have a dedicated and skilled team who support the minister in this ministry.
People are growing in their faith, even in advancing years. The church is good news at the heart of the city centre, being good news to the poor, the lonely, the outsider, the refugee and many others across a wide section of society.
That said, we have taken the very difficult decision that, at the end of their current lease in August 2026, we would not renew the lease for the premises occupied by the Julian House night shelter. The night shelter was an integral part of our development of the premises 30 years ago. In many ways it is disappointing that there continues to be such a need well into this 21 [st ] century. It is also fair to say that the facilities available in the current premises are far from ideal and the time is right for Julian House to work with the local authority and other interested parties to provide suitable premises for a permanent homeless and day care facility elsewhere in the city. Given the early notice of this decision there should be time for a satisfactory conclusion and it is gratifying to note that a dialogue has been opened up with the local authority.
We are pleased that our relationships with other churches in the city, as well as other community groups continues to be strong.
Whilst the challenges for next year remain clear, and the future remains uncertain, we can be confident that we can meet these challenges with courage and peace, knowing that we are a strong community, with trust in a faithful God.
8. Financial Review *
Trustee Report 2021-22
The approved income and expenditure for the Church and Cate Accounts during the reporting period year is appended to this report. This reflects the challenging year which has seen day-to-day rental income consistent with the much reduced room usage and the Cate at the Centre operating at a near £16K loss. However, this has been offset by nearly £12K from the Government Job Retention Scheme and £18K for the emergency Safe Sleep arrangements. Offering income has remained steady and the Church has been grateful for the availability of the Government Job Retention Scheme which recompenses employers up to 80% of wages for the hours staff are furloughed.
9. Reserves Policy
The Church policy is to maintain sufficient financial reserves to cover at least six months estimated expenditure.
10. Future Plans
The Charity will:
Seek to maintain a Christian witness in this city centre: offering a safe place for all to meet. Develop mutual support groups for all members of our fellowship.
Continue the search for an appropriate way in which to administer the charities activities.
Undertake substantial maintenance work on the premises
