KRBC ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT – 2020

1) Aim

The church’s mission is summarised as “Loving God, and Loving Others, from Longlevens…” and its aim is to provide an environment in which people can, and are encouraged to, express their love for God and others through Christian worship and service. As part of this, the church aims to provide opportunities for people to understand and respond to the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ, as expressed in the Bible.

2) Leadership & Organisation

The church is organised into five areas of responsibility:

The leaders and teams responsible for the different functions within these areas meet with the Elders through the year in rotation. The various leaders involved are appointed by election from within the church, at the recommendation of the Eldership, with the key leaders usually serving for a term of three years, after which they are eligible for reappointment.

During the year there are Church Members' meetings and Open Forums, which provide an opportunity for wider consultation within the church and consideration of specific proposals. Whilst decisions at these meetings are usually reached through consensus, a formal voting process is used as appropriate.

The church has various volunteer staff to perform particular roles each of which fits within this leadership and organisation. The church employs paid staff as Pastor, Children & Families’ Worker and a Cleaner, all of whom continued to be paid in full throughout the pandemic.

The unprecedented national social restrictions occasioned by the Covid 19 pandemic from March triggered an urgent review of how best to continue to fulfil the church’s aims. Within the first week the - Zoom online meeting program was adopted for wide use, from worship services to one-to-one consulta - tion. Other technologies have increased in use to maintain contact and facilitate assistance where neces sary. We are blessed by having members with the know-how to set up and operate these new systems, and others have come forward to be trained. Leaders and congregation adapted quickly and persevered through the learning.

KRBC ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT – 2020

3) Activities

a) Gather

Worship – a public service of Christian worship takes place every Sunday morning, including songs, prayers and a sermon, with communion included once a month (normally the third Sunday of the month). Some Sunday evenings there is a public service with worship and prayer, with other Sunday evenings being used for a variety of discussion, ‘Open Forums’ and

‘Church Members’ Meetings’, as necessary. Under Covid restrictions, it was only possible to hold two in-person Sunday services, one funeral and one wedding in the building.

Ministry – during the second two-thirds of the Sunday morning service there is usually a sermon, which provides biblical teaching applicable to everyday life. As part of this there is opportunity for people to receive particular prayer and advice with life situations. A team of seven members have shared the preaching responsibilities, occasionally supplemented by guests. While many members used Zoom to participate in worship, some do not have internet access, and DVD recordings of sermons were made available. In addition, short “Thought for the Day” YouTube recordings were made to view through the week. These were picked up by people previously unknown to the church.

Prayer – prayer is an important part of all church activities, but specific prayer events are organised, including designated seasons of prayer in which everyone is encouraged to participate. The church followed the international “Thy Kingdom Come” prayer initiative. Daily and weekly prayer prompts were circulated by email and WhatsApp.

b) Grow

Fellowship – making meaningful relationships is important, for it is at the heart of the Christian faith, so emphasis is placed on people sharing together (fellowship) both socially and in practical activities. Whilst this takes place naturally, as people take part in general church activities, the church also runs small groups during the week to encourage people to grow together and in their faith. All of these met virtually after March. An innovation was a WhatsApp group for members to keep in touch.

Pastoral Care – care for individuals within the church takes place at a variety of levels, normally in small groups, natural friendships and fellowship through activities. However, where people have particular needs a network of carers seeks to provide the level of support required, liaising with the ‘Pastoral Coordinator’ and Elders as appropriate. Due both to the pandemic restrictions and the number of deaths which occurred (all non-Covid) the scope and duration of pastoral care had to be increased. Members willingly rose to the demands imposed, in particular preparing meals for those recently bereaved.

KRBC ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT – 2020

Discipleship – learning about the Christian faith, and putting it into practice, is a vital part of being followers of Jesus, requiring personal responsibility and mutual support. Whilst the Sunday teaching programme plays a significant role, the more informal small-group setting and mutual accountability aims to provide the environment to facilitate growth as a Christian.

c)

Go

Outreach – the church runs a number of specific groups (e.g. Take A Break, Out to Lunch ), annual activities (e.g. The Light Party, Community Fun Day), as well as oneoff events (e.g. Quiz Night, Retro Computing, Holiday Club) to serve the local community and encourage people to get involved in the church. Most of these had to be suspended

while restrictions were in effect, but contact was maintained with seniors attending the lunch club by doorstep deliveries of “goody bags” and phone contact. For children, a holiday club called “Breakout” was devised and filmed. We participated in the national TEAR Fund online quiz.

Welcome – the church encourages the community to visit its regular activities, including Sunday worship and has a ‘welcome team’ to provide newcomers with a warm welcome and help them integrate into the church.

Mission – the church supports a number of missions operating in the UK (e.g. Baptist Home Mission, Food Bank) and overseas (e.g. BMS World Mission, Sharp Memorial School for the Blind and Baptist Union in Albania) each with a ‘Mission Champion’ who coordinates the church’s engagement with the mission and encourages people to support them in prayer, relationship and financially. One member was supported to join the crew of the Operation Mobilisation ship involved in education, relief and evangelism.

d) Children & Youth

Junior Church – during the second two-thirds of the Sunday morning service the children up to school year 10 (age 15) have their own age-appropriate activities incorporating worship and teaching. Materials were provided to homes in advance of Sunday Zoom services, although some families had difficulty with online engagement. There is a crèche for pre-school children. The older youth have their own group – Banana Tree - that meets most Sunday evenings.

Kidz Klubz – on Wednesday and Thursday evenings the church runs clubs for school-aged children within the community (i.e. Planit, Quest, Impact, and Focus). These groups are focused around a variety of activities, craft, games and fun, they have some Christian content, usually in the form of Christian teaching. During lockdown suspension some online sessions were provided, but with reduced participation.

KRBC ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT – 2020

Families – the church aims to provide a link with the parents of those attending children’s activities, offering support where possible and encouraging them to come to the outreach activities.

e) Support & Enable

Finance – the church is almost exclusively financed by the individual giving of its members and the finance team supports and enables the various activities by managing the income and expenditure of the church according to an annual budget agreed by the church.

Facilities – the church occupies its own premises, including a large hall and a small hall with catering facilities. While catering was not required, opportunity was taken to upgrade several items of kitchen equipment. The management and upkeep of the buildings is the responsibility of the facilities team. Some of the facilities are available for hire by the local community.

Administration – the organisation and communication required in the church, which is predominantly run by volunteers, is significant and includes such tasks as maintaining the membership roll, managing the diary and rotas, general communication and publicity as well as the official secretarial role of the church.

4) Achievements

At year-end counts showed typical numbers of regular weekly contact occasions as:

There were 58 people who were sufficiently active to be eligible to vote at members meetings.

5) Financial Summary

The comprehensive analysis and notes appended to the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) show the details from which this financial summary is drawn. Offering income has increased. £22,139 was spent on improvements to the building (predominately upgrades to the kitchen) of which £11,000 was funded by unrestricted income received during the year and £11,139 from the building redevelopment reserve.

KENDAL ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of preparation

The accounts are prepared in accordance with the, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP 2015), FRS102 and with the Charities Act 2011

Kendal Road Baptist Church is a registered charity, no. 1132818 and meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

b. Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

c. Donations

Donations are accounted for gross when received. Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognized when receivable and are included at fair value.

d. Legacies

Legacies are accounted for at the earlier of the Estate accounts being finalised and notified and the legacy being received.

e. Investment Income

Investment income is included in the accounts in the year in which it is receivable.

f. Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure is recognized where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

g. Costs of raising funds

The Church does not make formal appeals for funds, and expenditure on these items is therefore not material.

h. Grants payable

The Church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. They are accounted for when the recipient has been notified of the grant and payment is unconditional.

i. Support costs

Support costs are those that assist the work of the church but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance cost. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. This represents direct expenditure on the governance of the church. Most of the management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to the volunteers for their service.

j. Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are initially recognised at cost, or for donated assets, at a reasonable estimate of their value on receipt. There is no reliable information available for the cost of the church premises and so on first time adoption of FRS102, the insurance value used previously was adopted as deemed cost.

k. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets, other than freehold land, to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life, at the following rates:

Freehold land Nil
Buildings Nil
Furniture and fittings 10%
Computers and equipment 25%
l. Investment Assets

Investments are initially stated at cost. Subsequently they are measured at fair value with changes recognized in the Statement of Financial Activities if the shares are publically traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. All other investment assets are shown at cost less impairment.

m. Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally the church building. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

Page 3 of 12

n. Employee benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in an independently administered fund.

Prior to 2012 pension provision was made through multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. Where it is not possible for the charity to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for a plan as a defined benefit plan, it accounts for the plan as a defined contribution plan.

Where the plan is in deficit and where the charity has agreed, with the plan, to participate in a deficit funding arrangement, the charity recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the contributions payable under the agreement that relate to the deficit. This amount is shown in Note 28.

The Church pays pension contributions for its Minister to the Baptist Ministers Pension Trust Limited, which is a final salary defined benefit scheme, which is not contracted out of the State second pension. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the church. Therefore, in accordance with FRS102 Section 28, the liability to the scheme is accounted for on the basis of a discounted cashflow of contributions due under the Schedule of Contributions.

Total aggregate remuneration paid to key management personnel during the year was £0 (2019 £0)

The Church has committed to maintaining Designated Reserves as follows:

• two at a fixed level at the start of each financial year to cover unpredictable expenditure: Pastoral Care (£1,000) and Training (£1,000)

• two to spread large costs over a number of years: Sabbatical (£3,150 over 7 Years) and Church Weekend (£3,600 over 3 years)

• two to invest money in large future projects: Building Development and Additional Worker

• one to fund Manse Rental

The Additional Staff Worker Fund is established to partially support the staff workers in addition to a Pastor

The Development Fund contains Church money designated to the redevelopment of the main church building. Restricted funds specifically raised for the redevelopment of the Church buildings are shown under Development Fund Directed Gifts

The General Reserve is maintained at a level to enable the Church to meet its ministerial/staff commitments in the event of a loss of income.

Klubz are the outreach to young people, consisting of four midweek groups and Take-a-Break is the outreach to Parents with Babies and Toddlers.

28. Pensions

The Church is an employer participating in a pension scheme known as the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The Scheme is a separate legal entity and the assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

For any month, each participating employer in the Scheme pays contributions as set out in the Schedule of Contributions in force at that time.

The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions (see below). The Minister(s) [and some members of the church staff] is / are eligible to join the Scheme. From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan within the Scheme. In general, members pay 8% of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members’ Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Trustee by Legal and General Life Assurance Society Limited. In addition, the employer pays a further 4% of Pensionable Income to cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs, and an associated insurance policy which provides income protection for Scheme members in the event that they are unable to work due to long-term incapacity. This income protection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva plc. [Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 0% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 10%.] The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributions made to the Segregated DC Arrangement.

Benefits in respect of service prior to 1 January 2012 are provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan within the Scheme. The main benefits for pre-2012 service were a defined benefit pension of one eightieth of Final Minimum Pensionable Income for each year of Pensionable Service, together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income. The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011.

Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019 A formal valuation of the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was performed at 31 December 2019 by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the DB Plan assets at the valuation date was £298 million. The valuation of the DB Plan revealed a deficit of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £18 million (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Church and the other employers supporting the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit.

The key assumptions underlying the valuation were as follows: The key assumptions underlying the valuation were as follows:

§ Post–retirement mortality in accordance with 80% of the S3NFA and S3NMA tables, with allowance for future improvements in mortality rates from 2013 in line with the CMI 2019 core projections, with a long term annual rate of improvement of 1.75% for males and 1.5% for females, with the core smoothing parameter and with additional initial mortality improvement factor A=0.5%.

The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022. Recovery Plan In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan set out above, where a valuation of the DB Plan reveals a deficit the Trustee and the Council agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the DB Plan. Under the current Recovery Plan dated 30 September 2020, deficiency contributions are payable until 30 June 2026. These contributions are broadly based on the employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules. However, the Trustee and the Council agreed a 50% reduction for all deficiency contributions payable between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2020.

Movement in Balance Sheet liability

Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. The movement in the provision is set out in the table below.

This liability represents the present value of the deficit contributions agreed as at the accounting date and has been valued using the following assumptions set by reference to the duration of the deficit recovery payments:

Discount rate 0.4% 1.7% 2.4%
Future increases to Minimum
Pensionable Income		 3.0% 3.2% 3.3%

The Church has been advised that the cost for the church to buyout their Pension Scheme liabilities at 31 December 2020 was approximately £66,100.

Cessation Event

Consequent upon the departure of the previous Minister from the Church in 2015, the Church had a cessation event under Section 75 of the Pensions Act 1995. This makes the Church liable for the proportion of the overall deficit (assessed by reference to the cost of securing benefits by the purchase of annuities) applicable to its previous Ministers who were members of the Scheme. At present the Church is paying the ongoing deficiency contributions outlined above, and the balance sheet liability below is based on those deficiency contributions. However, the Pension Scheme Trustee has the right to quantify and seek payment of the debt at any time.

In addition to the above, the Church employs a Children's Worker. The Children's Worker is enrolled in the Basic section of the Baptist Pension Scheme which is a defined contribution scheme. The total cost of the pension contributions for this staff member for the Church was £1,870 (2019 £1,197).
