## **Broadwater Baptist Church** 

## **Report for 2022** 

## **Introduction** 

I invite you to look at the summary page of the accounts which will be distributed at the AGM, and ask me for a copy of the notes pages online, or paper, if you wish. 

As usual, all figures are shown as if we had closed down the church at the end of the year, that is, creditors and debtors accounted for, including gift aid tax refunds. 

No real comparisons with previous years could be made, although I’ve shown a few on this report, and all the 2021 totals are shown on the printed accounts for information. 

At the time of writing the accounts are subject to annual examination. 

## **Church Income** 

For the year your offerings totalled £52,162 which was just £353 more than 2021. 

At least in 2022 we were able to meet for services every week. 

Lettings for the year totalled £17,511 - an increase of £3,503 over 2021 and approaching the highest ever, and that with some limits on room availability as we waited for WSCC to finally _close down_ . Again, no children’s parties were being booked.  We thank Paul Stender for all the excellent work in looking after the bookings and details. 

Other Income - donations and interest, and totalled £2,578 about £800 lower than the previous year. 

Service Charges were paid by WSCC as contributions towards room charges as we were restricted from using certain rooms during the period approaching the agreement end date (25[th] January 2023). This raised around £19,000. – We will not get this income again! 

Church Income summary: 

All the above totalled £99,406 (£93,029 in 2021, (£104,558 in 2020, £115,113 in 2019). 

## **Expenditure** 

Our premises (church and manse) costs for 2022 totalled £48,178 - the main increase being the cleaning, where the contract was re-started after more than a year, following covid and centre closure. 

Other running costs were similar to the previous year except that there were costs on the new PA/IT system – and we had monies available for that designated from previous years. 

Mission - we again sent £1,000 each to Baptist home and World missions from our funds to top-up your donations. The remainder went to pastoral, hospitality, etc. 

There were a number of events in 2022, notably camp, where the income exceeded the costs by £328. 

The Baptist Pensions Deficit charges were reduced from August to £1 per month, from £354 per month, and they will hopefully remain at that nominal level! 



Café – The first year of full opening since 2019 made excellent sales of £55,815, (highest ever was £59,912 in 2019). Food, salaries and other costs totalled £61,009, so net cost to church was £5,195. 

Total church costs were £93,621, less than the past few years. 

## **Your giving to other causes** 

Summary: 

- Baptist Missions _(previously called One Mission by us)_ : **SEBA*** home mission, BMS** world mission, BMS birthday Scheme - £2,136  in total. 

- Hope for Children, Latvia: fun fund, etc. - £2,872 

- Christmas collections:  Bible Society: £238; Children’s Society: £204; Turning Tides: £515 which included donations for jigsaws etc. 

Note: 

There are still a few (Baptist) Mission boxes in circulation, and these are still welcome until the end of April as the local bank closes mid-May, and although we thank you for the contributions they raised just around £75 for the year. I shall be making alternatively suggestions about mission contributions shortly. 

## **Summary** 

At the close of the year the accumulated fund - unrestricted and undesignated - totalled £59,338 (£62,314 in 2021). Reasonable, but not sufficient for any large expenditure projects. Also, we see no way, at this point, of  projecting what changes in letting income, or regular costs will be in 2023. 

My thanks go to Richard and Maureen Marshall for their hard work on the payroll and pensions. 

Thank you for all your contributions to God’s work in this place. Regular costs are always increasing and I invite to you remember to regularly review your offering. 

Although we no longer have an ‘offertory prayer’ as such, please pray the following prayer when you check your bank statement for standing orders, or when your cash or cheque is placed in the basket at church. 

_Gracious God, accept this gift, and with it our lives, to be used in your service; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen_ 

Ted Jackson Treasurer February 2022

To Whom It May Concern 

## **Broadwater Baptist Church Accounts Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

Following a request from the Treasurer & Deacons of Broadwater Baptist Church to make an examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022, this I have completed and report my findings. 

Whilst a full audit has not been undertaken, from the examination of the records, papers and other information supplied, I find everything to be in order and I am happy to endorse the published account information. Queries that arose from the examination have been referred to the Treasurer and have been answered or dealt with to my satisfaction. 

The accounts and financial affairs are maintained to a full and high standard. 

Yours faithfully 

J H Mussell ACIB
