Annual Report for 2020

The trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2020.

Charitable Object

The Charity is governed by a Constitution which states that the principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the church shall determine. The church occupies premises which are held, by the Baptist Union Corporation Limited, on Trusts which are entirely compatible with the above object.

Organisational Structure and Decision-Making Process

Crofton Baptist Church is an unincorporated association with Managing Trustees appointed by a meeting of members (the “Church Meeting”). Church membership is open to all who profess repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They also accept the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the authority of the Holy Scriptures and the interpretation of them usually called Evangelical.

In accordance with the Constitution, the Church Meeting appoints the Trustees, (consisting of the Pastor and Leadership Team), to be responsible for the spiritual leadership, oversight, and administration of the church, including the financial and legal aspects of the charity. Specific duties are assigned by the Trustees to each person by mutual agreement. New Trustees receive a pack of appropriate documentation, as listed in the document

1

“Briefing New CBC Leadership Team Members” . The Trustees submit relevant matters to the Church Meeting for guidance, or matters may be raised by members in the Church Meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. The Church seeks to work by consensus wherever possible, though the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church Meetings by appropriate majorities. All members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objective.

The Church Meeting has responsibility for the overall policy of the church, the appointment of the Charity Trustees, and meets regularly (not less than four times per year). This was obviously not possible during the Covid pandemic. There was one in person meeting on 16[th] February, but the AGM was held via Zoom on 22/10/20. The Pastor and other staff are appointed in accordance with the Church Constitution. Charity Trustees are elected for a period of 3 years and are eligible for re-election at the end of their period of service. The Church Secretary and the Chair of the Finance Team are chosen annually by the Charity Trustees from among themselves, subject to ratification by the membership at the next Church Meeting.

Objectives and Activities

Introduction

The Mission Statement and Objectives of the Church continue to be as follows:

Crofton Baptist Church Mission Statement – ‘Helping people follow Jesus’

Crofton Baptist Church Vision –

We will do this through:

This means:

The church is committed to this vision which includes growing its interest in global mission, developing compassion ministries and to caring for people in the community. It is possible to see this commitment in the work carried out by members of the church in serving the local, wider regional, and global communities.

Ministry Team Structure

Additionally, the church has a Ministry Team structure in place. During 2020 the nine teams have overseen various areas of church life; Youth, Community, Fellowship, Mission, Pastoral Care and Prayer, Finance, Support, Seniors, Children and the Sunday Service Ministry Team. These teams encourage members to be fully involved in the work of the church exercising their gifts and using their skills.

Church Life

The church is committed to helping all its members grow as faithful followers and worshippers of Jesus Christ and servants of other people in the church and wider community. Sunday services provide opportunities for teaching and worship. They are also an opportunity to encourage members to be active in serving others and telling them about Jesus. Members of the Church also enjoy fun events and eating together. MP3 versions of the Sunday morning service sermons are posted on the church’s website. The numbers of business meetings were as follows: Leadership Team – 14 plus informal prayer meetings held about fortnightly, after 17/3/20 these were all held via Zoom; Church Meetings – 2 (the AGM held on 22[nd] October was conducted via Zoom). The Leadership Team held a special meeting on 17/3/20 to discuss the Church’s response to the Covid crisis and its functioning during lockdown. All on-site group activities were suspended from that date.

2

The Church AGM approved the annual report and annual accounts for 2019. It also considered strategy and vision for the year ahead. The regular annual Charity Trustee Election took place during November using postal and email means when Peter Newton and Deanne Davies were re-elected, and Femi Adesanya was elected to join the team from 01/01/21.

The church membership at the end of December 2019 totalled 158 and at the end of 2020, having taken account of deaths, people moving on and new members joining, it was 153. Two adults have been baptised by immersion during the year.

Achievements and Performance

The activities carried out during the year were necessarily limited due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The last on-site service before the first lockdown took place on 15/3/20. There was a brief resumption of on-site services from 9/9/20 to 20/12/20. These included three weekday evening communion services. Baptist Union and Government guidelines were followed throughout the pandemic with detailed Risk Assessments in place for all activities.

Several important objectives had been agreed by the Charity Trustees and Church Meeting for 2020:

  1. Associate Pastor Appointment - to proceed with this appointment, aiming for the chosen applicant to commence their role in September 2020.

  2. Preparation of a Five-Year Vision Document - to attempt to be more strategic in our thinking and planning during the next five years.

  3. Refurbishment of the Main Kitchen - this works needs to be completed following the inspection report form the Environmental Health Officer.

  4. To continue progress towards the formation of a Discipleship Ministry Team.

In addition, each Ministry Team set objectives for 2020 consistent with the overall objectives and those of the team itself as outlined in its original brief.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic objectives 1, 2 and 4 remain outstanding. However, despite the pandemic it was possible to complete the main kitchen refurbishment during July and August. This brought it up to the standard required by the previous Environmental Health Officer’s Inspection Report. Additionally, the Associate Pastor position was advertised, but no suitable candidate was identified. In addition to these aims, the church has invested in equipment to enable the live-streaming of Sunday services.

Finance Ministry Team:

The financial results for the year ended 31 December 2020 are set out in the accompanying Financial Statements, together with a summary of the accounting policies adopted by the charity.

The church continues to raise the funds needed to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation, and in this accounting year no wider public appeal was made for funds. At the end of this accounting year the church employed 3 people. The church depends heavily on volunteers among its membership in all aspects of its activities, many of which involve little or no expenditure but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of its objectives.

As an expression of its role in the life of the wider church, the charity made grants to national and international organisations and societies whose aims, and objectives are compatible with this church’s own charitable purpose (Details are listed in the attached document “Accounts for the Year Ended 31 December 2020” ).

The budget was prepared during January and approved by the Church Meeting.

During 2009, the Finance Team formulated a reserves policy. The finances of the church are not dependent on any one income stream; for instance, it receives no income from investments other than bank account interest and does not depend on a few large donors. The church owns a minister’s residence and all its other assets outright.

Throughout the year, the Fellowship Fund provided support to many members who were in financial need, including pensioners and those on benefits.

Crofton Baptist Church has appropriate insurance for its buildings and contents and Employer’s Liability Insurance, as recommended and provided by the Baptist Insurance Company PLC.

Penslons The Church is an employer participating in a pension scheme known as the Baptist Pension Scheme I'the Scheme"), which 15 administered by the Pension Trustee IBaptist Pension Trust Limited). The Scheme 15 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 Contrlbution5 in force at that time. The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. Thi5 IS because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme'5 assets and liabilities to speclfic employers and means that contributlons 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 beneflts and expense5 accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions. The Minister and members of the church staff are eligible to join the Scheme. 12

From january 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DCI Plan within the Scheme. In general, member5 pay 8/0 of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members, Pensionable Income into individual pension actounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Truslee by Legal and General Life A55urance Society Limited. In addilion, the ermployer pay5 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 Brltaln wSth Aviva plc. The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributlDns made to the Segregated DC Arrangement. Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 5% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 5%. Benefit5 in respect of 5eTvice prior to l January 2012 are provided through the Defined Benefit IDBI Plan within the Scheme. The main benefits for pre-2012 seNice 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 MinimLJm Pensionable Income. The Scheme, previously known a5 the Baptist Ministers, Pension Fund, started in 1925, but wa5 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 IDBI Plan was performed at 31 December 2019 by a profe55ionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the DB Plan assets at the valuation date was £298m. The valuation of the DB Plan revealed a deficit of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £18m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Chur¢h and the other employer5 SUPPOrting the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The key assumptions underlying the valuation were as follows.. Type of flnancial assumptlon RPI prlce inflatlon assumptlon CPI price inflation assumption Minimum Pensionable Income increases (CPI plus 0.75% pal Assumed investment returns Pre-retirement Post retirement Deferred pensiL7n increases Pre April 2009 Post April 2009 Pension increa5e5 %pa 3.20 2.70 3.20 2.95 1.70 3.20 2.50 13

Main Scheme pension 2.70 Post-retirement mortallty 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 1.58£ 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 deficit the Trustee and the Councll agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the 08 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 anrnually in line with increases to Minlmum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules. However, the Trustees and the Council agreed a 51Yh reduction for all deficiency ¢ontribution5 payable between l July 2020 and 31 De￿mber 2020. 15.

Penslons The Church is an employer participating in a pension scheme known as the Baptist Pension Scheme I'the Scheme"), which 15 administered by the Pension Trustee IBaptist Pension Trust Limited). The Scheme 15 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 Contrlbution5 in force at that time. The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. Thi5 IS because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme'5 assets and liabilities to speclfic employers and means that contributlons 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 beneflts and expense5 accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions. The Minister and members of the church staff are eligible to join the Scheme. 12

From january 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DCI Plan within the Scheme. In general, member5 pay 8/0 of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members, Pensionable Income into individual pension actounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Truslee by Legal and General Life A55urance Society Limited. In addilion, the ermployer pay5 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 Brltaln wSth Aviva plc. The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributlDns made to the Segregated DC Arrangement. Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 5% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 5%. Benefit5 in respect of 5eTvice prior to l January 2012 are provided through the Defined Benefit IDBI Plan within the Scheme. The main benefits for pre-2012 seNice 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 MinimLJm Pensionable Income. The Scheme, previously known a5 the Baptist Ministers, Pension Fund, started in 1925, but wa5 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 IDBI Plan was performed at 31 December 2019 by a profe55ionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the DB Plan assets at the valuation date was £298m. The valuation of the DB Plan revealed a deficit of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £18m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Chur¢h and the other employer5 SUPPOrting the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The key assumptions underlying the valuation were as follows.. Type of flnancial assumptlon RPI prlce inflatlon assumptlon CPI price inflation assumption Minimum Pensionable Income increases (CPI plus 0.75% pal Assumed investment returns Pre-retirement Post retirement Deferred pensiL7n increases Pre April 2009 Post April 2009 Pension increa5e5 %pa 3.20 2.70 3.20 2.95 1.70 3.20 2.50 13

The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.

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 anrnually in line with increases to Minlmum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules.
