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. 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

At the start of 2022 there was worldwide concern at the Omicron variant of Covid 19. Our 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. We thank God that whilst case numbers peaked in January, numbers of hospital admissions and deaths did not return to the levels we saw in 2021. The majority of legal coronavirus restrictions were lifted by the UK government in March 2022.

As a consequence of the pandemic, 2022 was another challenging year in the life of the church, as we continued to seek God’s guidance on how best to move into new areas of community work post pandemic. In common with many other churches, neither Sunday attendance nor the availability of volunteers to run community focused outreach has fully recovered after lockdown. We originally moved to livestreaming Sunday services via YouTube due to Covid and we have chosen to continue to do so, with an average of 12 households joining us on-line each Sunday through 2022.

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. At the start of 2022 three Life Groups were still meeting weekly on-line via video conferencing, having moved away from physical meetings due to Covid, but three had started to meet weekly in person at the church. We saw a number of changes to our Life Groups over the past year. Two groups stopped meeting. A new monthly Life Group was launched, meeting at church, looking at spiritual, musical and technical aspects of worship. Another new

Page 3

Life Group was launched, meeting fortnightly in a home, with a focus on deepening our relationship with God through Bible study and prayer. By the end of 2022 just one Life Group was continuing to meet on-line. There are no plans to stop offering this option. Prior to Covid we had no on-line groups but we’ve discovered that Zoom does make it possible for some who would otherwise be unable to be involved due to health or childcare constraints to actively participate via video link in this aspect of church life.

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 it had not been possible to run our customary range of outreach activities due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2022 we began were able to start moving towards running more outreach events.

In March we hosted “ Time to Remember”, a Memorial and Thanksgiving service for those who had died during the Covid pandemic. During lockdown large gatherings for funerals had not been permitted. We hoped that this service would help many in our congregation and our community to celebrate the lives of those lost during the challenging time. We dressed a tree of remembrance with labels bearing the names of those we loved and lost from March 2020 to March 2022 – the Covid years.

Post Covid we have been very aware of financial pressures and food poverty on our doorstep. The cost of living has been increasing, with food and energy prices going up significantly. For this reason we have continued to build on our initiatives around food distribution.

Weekly Food Distribution has continued throughout 2022 in partnership with Community Food Link, a Basingstoke based inter-denominational organisation sharing food surplus donated by local supermarkets with those in the community facing food poverty. Our church serves as a weekly distribution hub, sharing food with varying numbers of local families. On an average week we served around 16 households with two bags of groceries each. We have been pleased to be supported in this outreach by our local PCSO and other police officers, who strive to make positive connections with families on Brighton Hill.

The King’s Café , first launched in November 2021, was open almost every Tuesday in 2022. 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. On five Tuesdays in the school summer holidays we switched from serving lunches to family evening meals, serving around to 50 people each week. We present an opportunity to learn more about Jesus some of our Café visitors have already chosen to accept an invitation to worship with us on a Sunday.

Basingstoke Foodbank – Brighton Hill Hub first opened at our church in July 2021. We continue to work in a partnership arrangement with the Trussell Trust seeded Basingstoke Foodbank. Every Wednesday we offer a local collection point to clients

Page 4

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.

Our Church is also a resource benefitting a number of others in our local community. In 2022 we hired out our building to our local Brownie and Rainbow groups for weekly meetings, to the Rwandese Christian Fellowship, to the Southern Counties Baptist Association and to Mosaic Church. We have provided a venue free of charge to Christians Against Poverty for client meetings, to the Pyjama Fairies for a sewing day, to OneChurch Basingstoke for occasional prayer breakfasts, to Community Food Link for weekly management meetings (until they were able to relocate to new premises at Festival Place), and for Stop Domestic Abuse UK who ran a course here on healthy relationships for local children and young people in August. Lastly in December we were delighted to be able to welcome the families of Brownies and Rainbows from all across Basingstoke for a Christingle Service, and the children, staff and families of Hatch Warren Junior School for a Carol Service. After the Covid years, it was a joy to have the church building full again this 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. Our current food related activities at the church used an estimated 70 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, Basingstoke Foodbank providing emergency food provisions for families, SERV Wessex Blood Runners providing a transportation service for NHS hospitals, 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. Income is also received from the hire of the church premises to external organisations. The balance at the end of the year was £38,935.

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. The Development Fund is used mainly for significant projects and most income from giving is received when the project is being planned and implemented. Significant changes to the church building and the purchase of a manse for a minister have been the main use. 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 was also used in 2022 to fund enhancements to the kitchen to aid the church’s ministry using food and to purchase a smart TV for the meeting room. Some giving was received specifically to help with the kitchen enhancement. The balance at the end of the year was £8,060.

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 £2,167.

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 £1,555.

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 2022. The balance at the end of the year was £35,945.

Page 6

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 (BUC) to fund the purchase of the Manse (the residence provided for the Church’s pastor), and it currently stands at £191,686 outstanding after repayments have been deducted and interest has been added for the year. The loan repayment is currently slightly more than the amount required by the BUC, although repayment levels are now only reviewed by the BUC once a year and not every time interest rates change. The repayment date on the loan is December 2035.

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 can also be used to cover the costs of specific items agreed by the church where the income has been given specifically for those items. It is currently used for income and expenditure on our food related outreach. Income is from voluntary giving specifically for that purpose as well as from donations received from those attending the King’s Café. The balance at end of the year was £274, all in respect of food outreach.

Summary

Whilst some sums are received by way of rent for use of premises at the church (£3,225 in 2022), the Church’s main source of income is free-will offerings (£82,612 for the General Fund in 2022 plus amounts totalling £2,603 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 £21,589 across all funds in 2022. After transfers to other funds, the General Fund had a surplus of income compared to expenditure of £7,761.

The reserves at the beginning of the year amounted to £80,871 and at the end of the year were £86,962. At the year-end the money was held with the Church’s bankers (£37,283) and the Baptist Union Corporation (£44,472) plus offerings not yet banked (£134) . At the end of the year there were no amounts owed by the Church and amounts owed to the Church totalled £5,347.

Expenditure is incurred in paying our minister and to enable the church’s ongoing programme of services and activities. In addition approximately 10.2% 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

As we reflect on the past year we are hopeful for the new. As a fellowship of Jesus followers our desire continues to focus on being His people and doing His will. We hold firm to the vision to ‘know Jesus and make Jesus known’ and to see that vision embodied in our ‘core values’.

Fellowship: Our passion is to see every member and attendee of Basingstoke Baptist Church fully immersed in the family. From the first encounter our desire is that the love of Jesus would be clearly expressed breaking down barriers, ensuring guests become friends who naturally become family. We believe that through the grace of God it is possible to be ‘naturally nice’ – the love of God we have experienced should naturally overflow. As we focus on fellowship we do look inwards to love and care for one another. Our ‘Life Groups’ are a starting place as we rub shoulders with each other and this coming year we’ll invest more resources into increasing numbers who attend these small groups. Ensuring fellowship and belonging is part of our DNA we’ll review every ministry team so that it sees itself as a place of affirmation reflecting this core value.

Ministry: Having kept our distance through the Covid-19 season many opportunities to use our spiritual gifts have been on pause. 2023 will see the prayer ministry team relaunched and active within our gatherings. We’ll also explore the equipping of members to step out in the areas of prophesy, healing and deliverance. We believe our God is active amongst His people and giving opportunity for an encounter through individuals in the church is of great importance.

Teaching: Our focus will continue - ‘how can we be more like Jesus!’ Investment in teaching resources from Precept Ministries, with a launch from their national directors specifically for our Life Groups, will start the year. Sunday messages will start with a mini-series in 1 John looking at ‘how we love one another’ with other series being planned with practical application. We do not want to just be hearers of the Word but doers also. Exploring ways of utilising the recording and streaming capabilities at the Church to expand our reach of those hearing our teaching would also be an exciting exploration this year.

Worship: We want to facilitate encounter with God. Our desire is that our times of corporate worship would usher in an awareness of God’s presence and draw us to abandon reservation and release us to freely express our love of Jesus. We pray for a strengthening of our musicians and leaders and look for greater freedom and abandonment in our praise. Plans for teaching on worship are being explored with a practical implication.

Evangelism: Health brings growth naturally. As we look at all aspects of our life as a church ensuring we are healthy, we expect to see growth. ‘… the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved’ is a statement from the early church that we pursue. We will continue to build bridges through our food ministries (Food Hub, Foodbank, King’s Café, fellowship meals) and add an informal ‘discovery’ opportunity that will make joining the family easier. Future bridge building mission activities will be planned for Easter and the King’s coronation to see our community introduced to Jesus who is worthy of our all.

Page 9

We are excited for all that the Lord has in store for us and pray that we will be the committed and obedient disciples that He has called us to be.
