## **Report of the trustees** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Basingstoke Baptist Church is governed by the Church Meeting in accordance with the Constitution. The Deacons, Treasurer and Secretary are appointed from within the membership by the Church members and serve a 3-year term of office. Appointment is carried out according to the terms set out within the Constitution. The Church also employs a stipendiary Minister who generally acts as chairman of church organisations and a Church Life Pastor whose role includes the administration of church business. The Minister, Deacons, Treasurer and Secretary form the Trustees who, having been chosen from within the organisation, do not require formal induction, although a leaflet published by the Baptist Union of Great Britain explaining their duties is available to them. 

The Deacons normally meet twice monthly to discuss and pray about the life and work of the church. They take proposals and recommendations to the bi-monthly Church Members’ Meeting for discussion and decision. Amongst the business discussed at these meetings, consideration is also given to such matters as Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Data Protection and other associated risk assessments. 

The Church is part of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and follows the guidelines of that organisation. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that policies and systems are in place to mitigate exposure.

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Activities and Objectives of the Church may include but are not restricted to: 

- regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching; 

- baptism, as defined in the Union’s Declaration of Principle; 

- the Communion of the Lord’s Supper which shall normally be observed at least once a month; 

- evangelism and mission, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally; 

- the teaching, encouragement, welcome and inclusion of people of all ages; 

- nurture and growth of Christian disciples; 

- education and training for Christian and community service; 

- giving and encouraging pastoral care; 

- supporting and encouraging charitable social action in the United Kingdom and abroad; 

- encouraging relationships with and support of Baptists and other Christians 

The Rev Dave Bishop is a governor for the local secondary school.  In collaboration with the school, a group of Ugandan teenagers who perform together as a choir were invited to visit the UK at the start of 2020. The choir performed at a series of events, financed by the school and hosted by the church. 

2020 was an extraordinary year in the life of the church.  The coronavirus pandemic and lockdown resulted in all the regular activities of the church listed below closing down in March 2020.  The church team started putting together pre-recorded weekly playlists on YouTube, and then progressed to weekly live-streamed services.  We have also used Zoom video conferencing for social times together, for prayer and church business meetings. 

The following activities are normally carried out to achieve some of the objectives established above: 

**First Steps** is a parent and toddler group that provides nurture and support to approx. 50 families attending regularly on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. They offer a range of activities including craft, story-time and singing for the children, and a sympathetic ear with seasoned advice when mums need it. 

**Junior Church** serves children and young people from age 3 to 16 years with a crèche for the under 3s. It takes place alongside the Sunday morning worship service and is open to all; offering songs, games and stories centred on the bible. 

**Connections** is a lunch club providing pastoral care, friendship and support to people who attend the church or live locally. Those arranging the afternoons plan a variety of speakers and events which have been enjoyed by all. 

**Life Groups** provide opportunities for discussion and Bible teaching to promote the growth of Christian disciples. They also enable those who have attended Alpha, or are new to the church an opportunity to meet with a small group of likeminded individuals in an atmosphere more likely to foster friendship than is necessarily possible on Sundays where the numbers are greater.  Our Life Groups all closed in March 2020.  Four groups were able to move to meeting on-line via video conferencing. 

**Outreach Events** are normally organised during the year to raise the profile of the church in the local community, provide opportunity for evangelism and enable those unaccustomed to church activities sympathetic access to the church community.  In 2020 our normal outreach activities were not possible due to the coronavirus pandemic.  An increasing awareness of food poverty in our local community led to the church taking on new initiatives mentioned below. 

**Weekly Food Distribution** was a new initiative in 2020.  A number of church members joined in voluntary work at Community Food Link, a Basingstoke based inter-denominational organisation sharing food surplus donated by local supermarkets with those in the community facing food poverty. Working in partnership with CFL, the church serves as a weekly distribution hub, sharing food with local families in need. 

Page 3 



**Holiday Meals Service** was another new initiative in 2020.  It provided a meal for pupil premium families referred by local schools one day a week for 5 weeks of the summer holiday and again for two weeks in the Christmas holiday. The aim was to provide a hot meal once a week for those families who would be reliant on school meals during term time.  Up to 98 people received a meal in a week in the summer, while 65 people received meals each week over Christmas. 

All Church organisations are run by volunteers who are taken predominantly from within the church congregation, usually comprised of a small leadership team working with a wider group of serving volunteers.  Pre-Covid, these activities used an estimated 156 hours of voluntary work each week during term time.   Our new volunteer teams distributing food to the local community serve around 10 hours every week, increasing to an estimated 46 hours a week during school holidays.  Trustee roles are also voluntary, so the volunteer hours listed would be extended significantly by a minimum of 5 hours per week served in that capacity. 

. 

Some members of the Church also give their time and/or money to linked organisations in the wider community. These include Community Food Link (mentioned above), Street Pastors who offer support to those attending late night activities in the town centre, a local Foodbank providing emergency food provisions for families, Open the Book which enacts bible stories for school assemblies, a youth café providing a safe town centre meeting place for teenagers and the Town Chaplaincy which offers support to those working in the town.  During the winter of 2019/2020 a town centre shelter offering overnight accommodation and food to those sleeping on the streets, also drew volunteers from this church.  This shelter did not run over the winter of 2020/2021 due to the pandemic.

## **Financial position** 

## **Church Funds Breakdown** 

## **Unrestricted Fund – General Fund** 

There is only one unrestricted fund; this being the General Fund which is used to finance the regular activities of the Church, gaining its income from the free-will offerings given to the Church by its members and other regular worshippers who attend the services and activities. The balance at the end of the year was £18,549. 

## **Unrestricted Funds (Designated Use)** 

The Unrestricted Designated Funds and their use and purposes are as follows: 

**The Development Fund** – this is used to further the development of the church’s ministry.  Some of the money currently being donated is being used towards the repayment of the Baptist Union Corporation Loan on the manse.  It was also decided in 2018 to use some of the balance to fund a 2-year employment of the Church Life Pastor and this fund was used in the period up to May 2020. In 2019 a major refurbishment of the main church building was planned, with additional giving specifically for this project received in 2019 and 2020. The project was completed in 2020. The remaining balance at the end of the year was £10,206. 

**The Repairs and Renewals Fund** – this is used to set aside and fund major programmed repairs to the Church buildings and replace higher-cost items of furniture, equipment and fittings.  The balance at end of the year was £3,273. 

**The Fellowship Fund** – this is used to help people known to the Church should they be in financial hardship for some reason.  The balance at the end of the year was £1,464. 

**The Support Fund** – this is used to make donations to support specific ministry work.  The balance at the end of the year was £300. 

**Church Organisations** – this Fund represents the money held by the various church organisations, which are Connections, First Steps and Youth Club.  The balance at the end of the year was £2,224. 

**Contingency Reserve Fund** – this Fund was set-up in 2018.  Its purpose is to ensure funds have been earmarked and set aside for use when and if the Church encounters unforeseen major events such as a downturn in income (freewill offerings) and/or major buildings repairs. No changes were made in 2020. The balance at the end of the year was £35,945. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

There are three restricted funds as listed below. 

## **Buildings Funds** 

It holds the Church’s property holdings (church and Manse), which in various ways are subject to restrictions of use and disposal; all Property is held in Trust for the church by Baptist Union Corporation (BUC). 

## **BUC Manse Loan Fund** 

This is the loan from the Baptist Union Corporation to fund the purchase of the Manse (the residence provided for the Church’s pastor), and it currently stands at £215,299 outstanding after repayments have been deducted and interest has been added for the year.  The loan is currently being repaid at slightly more than the required rate, with the estimated repayment date currently October 2034 instead of the original December 2035 date. 

**The Specified Giving Fund** – this Fund receives any monies that are donated to specific organisations either through the offering or regular giving.  These offerings are passed on to those organisations plus 

Page 5 



any gift aid that can be claimed.  It is also used to receive and cover the costs of specific items agreed by the church where the donor has given specifically for those items. In 2020 a leaving gift was given to the Church Life Pastor on termination of his employment which was funded by explicit donations from members of the fellowship. In 2020 we received £2,400 from One Church Basingstoke to fund the initial costs and the first two years’ subscription for the Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) partnership. The balance held at the end of the year was £1,050 all in respect of TLG funding. 

## **Summary** 

Whilst some sums are received by way of rent for use of premises at the church (£1,360 in 2020), the Church’s main source of income is free-will offerings (£72,403 for the General Fund and £36,484 for the Development Fund in 2020 plus smaller amounts into some other funds).  These are received from its members and others who worship at the Church.  Tax refunds are also reclaimed on any offerings given under the Gift Aid scheme and cash offerings under the GASDS scheme.  This raised an additional £24,607 across all funds in 2020.  Before any internal transfers are taken into account the General Fund made a deficit of income compared to expenditure of £438.  After a transfer of £5,237 from the Development Fund (to meet the employment costs of the Church Life Pastor up to May 2020) the net increase on the General Fund balance was £4,799. 

The reserves at the beginning of the year amounted to £114,268 and at the end of the year were £73,012 as at 31st December 2020.  At the year-end the money was held with the Church’s bankers (£20,716) and the Baptist Union Corporation (£43,703).  In addition £1,325 was held by the various church organisations. At the end of the year the amounts owed by the Church totalled £699 and amounts owed to the Church totalled £7,967. 

Expenditure is incurred in paying our minister and to enable the church’s ongoing programme of services and activities.  In addition approximately 12.1% of the total General Fund’s income was given to other Christian missions/organisations as specifically agreed by the Church membership.  The rest of the General Fund expenditure is in respect of the maintenance and running costs of the premises and the manse and general administrative requirements.

## **Plans for the Future** 

With our Vision mandate ‘knowing Jesus, making Jesus known’ we shall seek new opportunities to grow as disciples of Christ partnering with the Holy Spirit in seeing our community impacted by God’s love. 

Refurbishment work in the Sanctuary was successfully completed in 2020 despite coronavirus. We look forward to being able to welcome the congregation back to our building soon, as lockdown restrictions are lifted. 

Even when we are able to return to worship together, our ‘on-line’ streaming of services will continue to develop and expand. With a significant number of ‘on-line’ congregation members we will seek to improve our equipment and the technical ability of our AV team to ensure our digital presence is of high quality. Exploration into other uses of the media will be undertaken that may enhance our training of disciples. 

The pandemic has changed the way we work. Rather than simply re-start all the activities that we used to run and continue as before, we plan to take the opportunity to consider what undertakings are of greatest value fulfilling our vision. There is recognition of a maturing of volunteers and a necessity of recruiting and training of younger members to take on significant leadership roles in the future. A programme of succession planning will be implemented. This will coincide with a review of our leadership structures that will release individuals in their areas of gifting enabling Basingstoke Baptist Church to respond more effectively to God’s leading in our future. 

An awareness of increasing numbers of families struggling financially and experiencing food poverty across Basingstoke means that we will seek to build on our new initiatives around food distribution. As with our work in partnership with Community Food Link, we hope that we will be able to work in partnership with Christians from other Basingstoke churches to offer support to our neighbours in a variety of ways, as we seek to make Jesus known. Partnerships are currently being explored with Christians Against Poverty and the Foodbank. 

Again, working with the secondary school, a group of church members received training from the charity Transforming Lives for Good in 2020. The pandemic postponed the project but in 2021 it is hoped that they can support students struggling with aspects of academic life. One member of the church trained with the charity as a coordinator and she will be leading the project forward. 

The church building is also available for hire to other groups and organisations where their ethos aligns with that of our vision. At present it is used by a Brownie group during term time but enquiries are coming in that may see our facilities open in a more significant way for our community.
