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. Up until December 2020 we also employed a Church Life Pastor on a part-time basis, whose role included 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

2021 was another extraordinary and challenging year in the life of the church. The coronavirus pandemic had resulted in lockdown back in March 2020 and all the regular activities of the church were closed down at that point. In common with many other churches, the path out of pandemic has not been easy. Many of the people who had served faithfully for many years in leading our various groups stepped back and it was not possible to re-start some of our former community focused work. Our First Steps parent and toddler group and our Connections lunch club with afternoon activities for seniors have closed permanently.

Last year we reported that we were not seeking to go back to how things were before Covid, but rather we were planning to take the opportunity to consider what undertakings would be of greatest value fulfilling our vision. This year, with a real awareness of food poverty in our neighbourhood, we have built on our new initiatives around food distribution. There’s more information about this further on in this report.

In 2020, unable to gather in church, we moved to live-streaming Sunday services, first via Zoom and then via YouTube. Through 2021 we gradually returned to in-person services at church. Initially we limited numbers in church to 30, following government regulations and Baptist Union advice, with Covid safety measures in place, giving priority to those unable to join via the internet. Our team of musicians started leading live worship songs in July and in September we started offering some activities for children on a Sunday morning. We continue working towards a full programme of Junior Church for children aged 3-16, offering songs, games and stories centred on the Bible. Our church attendance numbers gradually increased from 30 to around 70 each week, compared with 100+ before Covid. However we have continued to live-stream via YouTube and when we add in our viewing figures, we are now reaching more people each week than before Covid.

Throughout the year the Leadership Team continued to work to keep abreast of changes to coronavirus related regulation and advice, making changes to arrangements for Sunday worship and for other uses of the building as necessary.

Before the pandemic, most of us had not heard of Zoom. Now we routinely use Zoom video conferencing for prayer and church business meetings in addition to meeting in person.

The following activities are carried out to achieve some of our objectives above:

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 due to the pandemic but then four groups were able to move to meeting on-line via video conferencing. Through 2021, three Life Groups continued on-line but two started to meet in person at the church in September, with a further in-person group starting in October.

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 2021 our normal outreach activities were not possible due to the coronavirus pandemic, though we were able to undertake new forms of food outreach.

Weekly Food Distribution was a new initiative in 2020 and through 2021 our team grew, as did the quantity of food we were able to share. 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 around 20 local families in need.

The King’s Café was launched in November 2021 and is open every Tuesday. Our church kitchen has a top food hygiene rating and our catering team offers fresh nourishing lunches for anyone in need, with an option to make a voluntary contribution towards the cost. Our front of house team not only offer table service but also a warm welcome, building friendships with our regulars. We present an opportunity to learn more about Jesus and some have already chosen to accept an invitation to worship with us on a Sunday.

Basingstoke Foodbank – Brighton Hill Hub opened at our church in July 2021. We work in a partnership arrangement with the Trussell Trust seeded Basingstoke Foodbank. Every Wednesday we offer a local collection point to clients who have been referred by a designated referral agency. Basingstoke Baptist Church provides not only a venue, but also a welcome and refreshments as the Foodbank team put together food parcels to meet the needs of local households. We also host a Christians Against Poverty adviser offering debt support, facilitating one to one meetings from time to time.

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. Our current food related activities at the church used an estimated 58 hours of voluntary work each week. 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, the local Foodbank providing emergency food provisions for families, 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. .

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 £31,174.

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. Prior to 2021 some individuals split their regular giving to the church between the General and Development Funds. The church agreed that from 2021 all regular giving to the church would go into the General Fund and a transfer made to the Development Fund of the amount used for repayment of the Baptist Union Corporation Loan on the manse. The Development Fund had no other income or expenditure in 2021. The remaining balance at the end of the year was £10,206.

The Repairs and Renewals Fund – this was used to set aside and fund major programmed repairs to the Church buildings and replace higher-cost items of furniture, equipment and fittings. In November 2021 the church agreed that given the large balance on the General Fund a separate fund was no longer required and significant items of expenditure would in future be met by the General Fund. The funds brought forward at the start of the year were used for some major items in 2021 and the balance at end of the year was Nil.

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 £1,355.

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. All the organisations have now ceased to meet although the Youth Club funds are still being used to support a child in Bolivia through a child sponsorship program. Other funds are being held pending reallocation. The balance at the end of the year was £1,891.

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 2021. 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 £202,567 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 December 2034 instead of the original December 2035 date.

The Specified Giving Fund – this Fund receives any monies that are donated for specific organisations supported by the church either through the offering or regular giving. Offerings are passed on to other organisations along with 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 income has been given specifically for those items. The balance at end of the year was Nil.

Summary

Whilst some sums are received by way of rent for use of premises at the church (£859 in 2021), the Church’s main source of income is free-will offerings (£88,578 for the General Fund in 2021 plus amounts totalling £1,473 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 £20,433 across all funds in 2021. After transfers to other funds, the General Fund had a surplus of income compared to expenditure of £12,625.

The reserves at the beginning of the year amounted to £73,012 and at the end of the year were £80,871. At the year-end the money was held with the Church’s bankers (£32,083) and the Baptist Union Corporation (£43,794). At the end of the year the amounts owed by the Church totalled £286 and amounts owed to the Church totalled £5,280.

Expenditure is incurred in paying our minister and to enable the church’s ongoing programme of services and activities. In addition approximately 9.9% 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 (including transfer of funds to enable repayment on the loan in respect of the manse) and general administrative requirements.

Plans for the Future

We reiterate our mission statement of ‘knowing Jesus, making Jesus known’ and are looking for fresh perspectives and new innovations with regard to being part of the family of God’ in Basingstoke.

We are blessed with extensive facilities that are a phenomenal resource for the work of God’s kingdom. Following the sanctuary refurbishment our desire is to improve other aspects of the building including the kitchen and lighting within the common areas. Roofing on the extension is an area in need of investigation to ensure a future without problems, as is drainage around the building. We give thanks that we are fortunate to have members who take the maintenance of our facilities seriously and are willing to ‘roll up their sleeves’ bringing a solution to problems.

Within our building worship is a priority and our Sunday gathering an important part of our life as community. As numbers of attendees has started to increase, we are seeking to expand our core group of musicians and those gifted to lead us in worship. For a significant time a few have carried the majority of the ‘load’ and seeking God to raise up gifted individuals that can help us in worship is a passion.

As noted last year, there is recognition of a maturing of volunteers and a necessity of recruiting and training younger members to take on significant leadership roles in the future. Work is still needed regarding a programme of succession planning, as is the implementation of a leadership model that fully releases the gifts and abilities of the members.

We continue to develop our work distributing food in partnership with Community Food Link and are pleased to work with Christians Against Poverty and the Foodbank in seeing those in need within the community released from the pressures of poverty. Our new initiative of the ‘King’s Café’ has started to rebuild our relationships with the older members of the community as well as drawing in new ‘connections’ following the isolation so many endured through the pandemic. A desire to see this lunch-time ministry go beyond its current ‘once a week’ schedule resonates amongst many of the current serving team.

We are looking seriously at ‘who we are’ and ‘what we do’ and seeking to ensure that as we head towards our 40[th] Anniversary as a Church in Basingstoke, we are sensitive to God’s leading and are fully engaged in His specific plans for us. We are asking questions about developing our journey as disciples, serving our community with greater impact, especially families, children and youth, to ensure that our demographic is representative of the community in which we are planted.

Basingstoke Baptist Church has not come out of the pandemic unscathed but is optimistic and excited by what God has in store for our future.
