## Annual Report to the Charity Commission For our Annual General Meeting 2021 

Charitable Objective 

The Charity is governed by an Approved Governing Document 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 Ltd, on 

Trusts which are entirely compatible with the above object. 

Woodbridge Quay Church is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and is part of the Eastern 

Baptist Association. 

## Vision and Values 

Our Vision is to be ‘A Good News Church following an Extravagant God.’ We believe that this is the 

Church that God is calling us to be. In a world increasingly full of bad news we want to be Good 

News to all those who join us for the journey, we want to be a church that is Good News to our 

wider community. Most importantly we want to show people the Good News of Jesus Christ and all that he has done for us through both our words and actions. God is extravagant in giving his only 

son as a gift for us, and so we want to follow him in all that we do. 

In 2015, a legacy given by a long-standing church member allowed for a piece of art to be erected in 

our church grounds that might draw the eye. A piece of art that says this is a healthy place where God is 

encountered. The result was the hand sculpture that stands in our church grounds, and that is now daily, 

one of the most photographed locations in Woodbridge. It is because of this hand sculpture that we are 

known affectionately to the town as ‘The Church with the Hands.’ We believe that our vision as a church 

is achieved when we embrace our identity as ‘The Church with the Hands’ and so our values stem 

from this identity. We want to be Hands that:

## Context 

Following the continued escalation of cases of Covid and the NHS coming under significant pressure, a full National Lockdown commenced on the 5 th January 2021, this was more akin to the first 

lockdown in March 2020, with schools being closed as well. Places of worship had been given 

permission to remain open, however in line with the advice of the Baptist Union we made the decision as a church to stand with the wider community in making every effort to limit the spread of 

the virus. It is for this reason that at the beginning of 2021 we continued the path of ministry that 

we began in 2020, with worship services, small groups, and Breakfast Church, taking place exclusively online. Our Pastoral Care team continued to do what they could to support those who 

were more vulnerable and isolated, and our network of church Small groups continued to offer 

encouragement to one another through phone calls, WhatsApps and Zoom meetings. 

The government announced a Roadmap out of lockdown in February 2021, and so we also began our 

own roadmap to reopening. During Stage One, from the 19 th March we were able to begin some 

activities outside, with the likes of the Easter Trail taking place in the church grounds, and our origin 

youth group going on walks together. 

From 12 th April, Stage Two began with Quay Kids on Sunday mornings and Little Hands on Wednesdays in the church buildings. The rationale for not opening up more widely at that point was 

purely down to limited capacity in the sanctuary once social distancing between households at 2 

metres was taken into effect. 

From the 17 th May, there was provision to begin doing smaller events outside and we began to 

introduce a ticketing system for services to ensure we didn’t exceed safe capacity. We also began to 

reintroduce live elements to services such as preaching. 

On the 19 th July the government moved into Stage 4 of lockdown, which enabled church services to 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




fully resume with congregational singing, and at this point things began to feel slightly more normal. 

In August, we transferred over from pre-recorded services to Livestreaming, so that those unable to 

join us in person for whatever reason continued to feel part of the church family. 

We have had to adjust some of our practices and put some measures in place as we have moved 

towards the winter, encouraging masks when moving around the building and when singing, and 

have limited the capacity once more in the sanctuary by having children’s groups going straight to 

their activities. As we move into Christmas, we are going to be trying to ensure that the balcony is 

able for use, so that we can return to being together again as a church family. 

In November 2021 at our AGM, we introduced a new leadership structure within the parameters of 

our constitution, introducing the two roles of Elders and Guardians. Both Elders and Guardians serve as charity trustees, and have a bi-monthly full trustees meeting, but also meet for separate 

Elders and Guardians meetings. The existing charity trustees all stepped down from their roles, with some standing for re-election to the new structure. We give thanks for Mark Pears, Alan Scurrell, 

Steve Smith and Ruth Hughes for their faithful service. Elected as Elders at our AGM were Jonathan 

Knight (re-elected) and Debbie Scurrell, who will assist the Pastors, Doug Waller and Guy Mansell 

within the Eldership of the church. Elders are ‘Those entrusted with the oversight of the spiritual 

health and direction of the Church’ 

The Elder’s role is to: Lead the church (1 Tim 5:17; Tit 1:7; 1 Pet 5:1-2), Teach and preach the word (1 

Tim 3:2; 2 Tim 4:2; Tit 1:9), Protect the church from false teachers (Acts 20:17 &amp; 28-31), Teach sound 

doctrine (1 Tim 4:13; 2 Tim 3:13-17), Visit the sick and pray (Jam 5:14; Act 6:4), Judge doctrinal issues (Act 15:6) 

Elected as Guardians at our AGM were Emma Grant and Sarah Fowler, also serving as Guardians are 

Alan Rider (re-elected as Church Secretary) and Louis Kamfer (who also serves as Church Treasurer). 

Guardians are ‘Those who are Guardians and Protectors of the Church, its Ministries and Ministers 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




(By ensuring professional and legal obligations are intentionally met)’ 

The Guardians role is to oversee: Annual Budget, Data Protection, Financial Regulations, Legal 

Regulations, Staff Welfare, Annual Appraisals, Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Charity Commission 

returns and the administration of the church. 

Both Guardians and Elders are expected to pray regularly for the work of the church, to be involved 

in its ministries, and to be men and women of good Christian character and conduct. We look forward to seeing how God works through this team in the coming year. 

Achievements and performance 

Whilst it is always feels difficult to talk in church life of achievements and success, here is a summary of some of the things that we have seen happen throughout this year, linked to each of our values 

Hands that Pray – Making Prayer a Priority 

In 2021 we have continued to provoke and challenge our corporate and personal prayer life together. 

One of the areas that we have seen development in our prayer life as a church has been through our 

Hands that Pray Tuesday Nights. Using Facebook and Youtube Livestreams, these began as weekly 

opportunities for prayer and connection during the height of lockdown. God moved powerfully through these communal times together and we retained a high number of viewers each time. We 

were also able to connect with many people who do not ordinarily come to church. 

Since being able to meet in person, we have continued to host Hands that Pray on a fortnightly basis, 

and in September hosted a day of prayer and fasting culminating in a time of prayer down in the 

church sanctuary. This termly discipline is something that is going to return now that we are able to 

meet in person. 

Throughout the last 12 months, our church small groups have continued to offer prayer support and 

encouragement to one another. Pastoral visitation has recommenced since the middle of the year, 

and this has presented an opportunity for the Pastoral Care team to pray and journey alongside 

those who need support. We continue to utilise a prayer chain and also use our private church Facebook group which provides opportunities to pray for one another. 

Hands that Open – Invite the Holy Spirit to move among us 

The Holy Spirit has continued to move among us as a church during this past year. Firstly, in continuing to hold us together as a church. During the periods of lockdown, and then into the 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




reopening journey, there has felt like there has been a strong sense of togetherness and cohesion. 

We have not deviated from our calling as a church. It has been exciting that God has continued to 

add to our numbers as a church both during lockdown and since we have reopened with 40 new 

people joining us for the journey since we were last able to meet together in March 2020. We have prayerfully discerned through the Spirit the need to reconsider the way that we structure 

ourselves as a church. From November 2021, we will have in place a new Leadership Team structure 

of Elders and Guardians who together will also serve the church as charity trustees. We believe that 

this will release people more effectively into their area of gifting in the church. We have also introduced the role of Ministry Team Leaders, who will focus on a specific area of church ministry. 

Throughout this year we have been in discussions with a local preschool to lease our church hall 

during the week. This lease will commence in January 2022. We believe that this is a Spirit led 

opportunity and a frontline being brought to the church’s doorstep. It presents us with an ability to 

really engage with our local community and share the Good News of Jesus. 

Since September’s Away Day we have been focusing on the theme of Frontlines, those places where God has us where we are with people who don’t know him. Through exploring this theme together, 

the Spirit has been moving, and people have been identifying their frontlines and are starting to 

have opportunities to be Good News with those around them. Hands that Care – Connecting people to the welcome, love and care of Jesus 

During this year, Mark and Jane Pears took on the responsibility to be Ministry Team Leaders of 

Pastoral Care in the church. Their focus has been to help encourage the church to think of pastoral 

care as both reactive and active. Through the support of the pastoral care team, we have supported 

those going through difficulties on a range of things such as relationship breakdowns, illness and 

infirmity, bereavement, and social isolation. In 2022, the plan of the group is to look to more active 

pastoral care possibilities, with a bereavement course planned and other initiatives regarding looking after your mental health. 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




Our Active Retirees (OARS) have continued to maintain connection through this turbulent period. 

The OARS committee led by MTL Keith Carter, have had a regular newsletter distributed, and have 

been in touch throughout the pandemic through numerous phone calls and messages. They recommenced in-person events from August with a cream tea and songs of praise event. They have 

followed this up with a day at the Hut in Felixstowe and more recently went bowling and had a lunch 

together afterwards. OARS connects with 88 people both inside and outside the church fellowship, 

it’s a real frontline opportunity. 

Quay Time, our monthly meeting place for coffee and entertainment that we operate in partnership 

with the lions restarted in October and has seen an increase in numbers since before the pandemic. 

It has also addressed a growing need to connect with those who might be socially isolated. Coffee@Quay has also offered people a space for to meet on Saturday’s once a month, and has also 

had opportunities to support various charities. 

Various ministries in the church have extended the welcome of Jesus to those who might not ordinarily come to church. We saw this during our Family Extravaganza in May, that saw over 110 

adults and children in attendance, many of whom wouldn’t ordinarily come to church. But also through Family Connect, where we held a Light Party as a Halloween alternative, which saw over 80 

adults and children in attendance. 

During lockdown, many within the church underwent Safeguarding Training to ensure that we are 

providing excellence in this area of importance in church life. 

Hands that Raise – Aspire to excellence in all things 

As part of our devoted worship, we want to grow more in the likeness of Christ. Our Sunday Morning teaching themes have ranged from a Study of the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament 

(Exiles), to examining the impact of technology on our day to day lives (Life Unfiltered). As we 

emerged from lockdown, we began a series on the book of Ephesians (The Family of God), 

welcomed a number of guest speakers to speak on their favourite passages of Scripture (My Favourite), and have recently finished series on Frontlines, and our relationship with creation (Doxecology). These teaching themes continue to hopefully challenge and provoke us about how we 

are to be living sacrifices as we worship the Lord. 

From January to August we continued to Pre-record services to be viewed through YouTube and 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




Facebook. Our huge thanks to Kevin Bitter, for the tremendous work that he did in ensuring that 

this went our each week, and the high quality of professional production that he brought to this 

craft. Over the summer months the AV team utilised legacy money in order to invest in our church 

technology in the sanctuary. We now have moved over to livestreaming, so that those who are 

unable to be with is in room on a Sunday, can still be very much a part of what is going on through watching online. We are still seeing a significant number of views each week (approx. 30-40 live 

views) through the livestream, even though we are now back in the buildings. Church attendance 

gradually increased from the summer reopening to a peak in mid-October of over 150 people, however this figure has begun to decline as we’ve headed into the winter, and the number of live 

views on the livestream has increased as a result. 

We’ve continued to improve our communications utilising a variety of different platforms, Facebook, 

Instagram, ChurchSuite, our Website www.thequay.org.uk and this year have been more intentional 

in sending letters to members where necessary. 

In considering this value, I recognise that in the case of all of the ministries of WQC, a lot of time and 

effort and love is put in to make them excellent. People give their best, from our Sunday School leaders, to our worship band, from our AV team, to those who serve tea and coffee. There have 

been some real highlights this year. Breakfast Church in the gardens was a fantastic occasion, our 

Easter Trail, that Gwyn Smith kindly arranged and created for the children over the Easter weekend 

was excellent. The Church away day, saw some great activities for the kids, and our Light Party in 

October, was absolutely brilliant. Our thanks to all of those people who have voluntarily served in 

ministry areas this year, given their best as part of their worship of Jesus. Hands that Love – Choosing love, because love transforms 

Following on from the previous value, many of the activities run, have been done not just as an act 

of worship, but as a sign of love for people. Our Sunday school teachers, showing children the love 

of Jesus, and loving them. Our Little hands team, getting alongside young parents who have endured a lot of their parenting lives in lockdown, and showing them love and empathy. The 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




activities that we have offered to our community for free, such as the light Party, the Easter trail, the 

family extravaganza. It’s all been out of love. 

Hands that Give – Saying ‘Yes to God’ whatever it costs 

Throughout this year we have regularly said Yes to God whatever it has cost. This has been in 

numerous ways. 

Firstly, through faithful financial giving. At the beginning of this year, the church was budgeting to 

be in deficit. It was a step of faith when the budget was set in 2020 that God would provide, and he 

has through the generosity of his people. We have been able to resource ministry throughout the 

church all year round, and have been able to employ the largest staff team in the church’s history (2 

Pastors, an Administrator, Site Manager and Cleaner). 

We have also continued to try and be open handed and generous as a church. As part of our annual 

budget, we have given £16,875 to the Baptist Union Home Mission Fund, the Baptist Missionary 

Society, Just 42, and Addis Kidhan Church in Ethiopia. From this figure we have also given £1,000 

together with £1,025 received from our Harvest Thank Offering to African Pastors Fellowship, Tools 

with a Mission and Serving in Mission. Whilst not going through the church accounts, members of 

the church have also given £12,428 to Compassion UK, £250 has been given to various charities 

through Coffee@Quay, £350 was given to Footsteps Counselling Service and 61 Boxes were donated 

to Operation Christmas Child. We have also continued to support the work of the local food bank at 

the Salvation Army. It’s incredibly encouraging, that even through a difficult financial year, together 

the church has given in excess of £30,000 to various different Christian organisations and charities. 

As mentioned earlier, during the course of the year the church was also approached by a local 

preschool about leasing the church hall. The implication would be giving over use of part of our 

building during the week. This led to much discussion within the fellowship, however we made the 

decision together to be generous in giving over the resource of our buildings to this local community 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




group. We believe that God has blessed us with the buildings that we have, and their purpose is not 

fully utilised if we keep them solely for ourselves. They need to be available for use so that we can 

become a community hub. This is part of our vision, to be Good News to our community. Finally, many people have given very sacrificially of their time over the course of this year. Many of 

whom I am aware are beginning to feel tired and jaded. It is important that as a church we each play 

our part in the mission of the church, giving of our giftings, ability and time in service of Jesus. Hands that Move – Deepening and Increasing the Kingdom of God through lives rooted in Jesus 

Even though we have been in lockdown, at the beginning of the year, 24 new church family members joined us, as part of our new ‘Joining in’ session. Here they heard about the ministry of 

the church, were able to share their story, and also had the opportunity to covenant with us. This 

feels like a real discipleship step and moves away from the old style interview and report setup that was in place. We have 10 more people being commended for membership at the meeting tonight. 

It is an example of the growth that we are seeing in the church. However we also want people to be 

growing in their own walk of discipleship. From joining in, to small groups, there are opportunities 

to journey together with fellow pilgrims. 

Our lent series this year (RE:NEW) encouraged people to read the New Testament in the days 

leading up to Easter Sunday. It was great to see people engaging with their Bibles in this way, and 

learning more about Christ and the early church. 

We held a Church Away Day at Hollow Trees Farm in September, which was attended by 144 adults 

and children. The theme was ‘Life on the Frontline,’ with teaching from Steve Rouse of London 

Institute for Contemporary Christianity. It was an important moment in the life of the church, for 

many it was the first time that they had been back amongst church family since Covid. For some it 

was their first experience of WQC in-person. The focus of frontlines was to get us to look at the 

places where God already has us. To help us to realise that we are a gathered community and a 

scattered community, and that church isn’t just what happens on Sunday, but its where God has us 

**Woodbridge Quay Church Quay Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk IP12 1BX 01394 382360   office@thequay.org.uk www.thequay.org.uk Registered charity 1135458** 




throughout the week. For me the frontline series embodies what it means to be hands that move.

## **End of Year Financial Statements** 

## **Year ending 2021** 

_Page 1_ 



## **Report of the Church Bookkeeper** 

Woodbridge Quay Church’s (WQC) financial position at the end of 2021 remains very strong, with total assets of over £1,513,000.  This comprises £1,491,000 of land and buildings (comprising the church, the adjoining car park, and two manses), £118,273 cash, and £22,423 other fixtures, fittings, furniture and equipment. 

## Cash 

WQC’s £118,273 cash would cover eight months of the church’s expenditure (based on 2021 expenditure plus higher wage costs in 2022), substantially more than the three month minimum figure recommended by the Charity Commission.  The cash is managed through one current account, through which day to day transactions are made, and a number of savings accounts with short-term access arrangements.  This ensures the church is able to generate interest on its money that it does not require immediately, whilst ensuring its funds remain readily accessible.  Spreading cash between four accounts also reduces the risk of dependency on a particular bank in the event of a future banking crisis.   The church’s bank accounts have the following signatories, two of which are needed to authorize payments: 

- Louis Kamfer (Treasurer) 

- Ruth Hughes (Bookkeeper) 

- Jonathan Knight (Leadership Team) 

## Borrowing 

In order to help finance the development of its church buildings and the purchase of a second manse, the church has a loan outstanding as detailed below: 

|**Loan Provider**|**Date**<br>**Loan**<br>**Taken Out**|**Loan**<br>**Amount (£)**|**Period**|**Interest Rate**|**Balance**<br>**Remaining**<br>**as at**<br>**31/12/21 (£)**|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Baptist Union of Great<br>Britain|Dec-12|30,000|10 years|3.5%|73,305|



* The balance remaining is less than the period indicates due to early repayments made 

Excluding voluntary repayments, the church is required to pay £18,000 per annum (£18,000 capital and £2,760 interest). 

## Income and Expenditure 

In 2021 WQC received £191,406 in income.  This was a increase on last year’s income figure of £171,000 which was lower due to the impact of Covid. 

Alongside its income, WQC incurred £183,000 of expenditure, giving a surplus of £7,000. 

_Page 2_ 



## Accounting basis 

It should be noted that these accounts are prepared on a cash rather than an accruals basis, and have not been prepared on the basis of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (as larger entities would be required to be) on the basis of Charity Commission rules that permit this for charities whose annual income is less than £250,000, such as WQC. This means that items are accounted from when payments are made and receipts received, rather than when expenditure is incurred and income is generated.  In practice, these are largely one and the same for organisation such as WQC.  Moreover, to prepare these accounts on an accruals basis and in accordance with FRS102 would require considerably more work and lead to a much longer statement of accounts, but it is held would provide little to no additional benefit for its readers.  This removes the requirement for WQC to account for its liability relating to the Baptist Pension Scheme (BPS).    Although there is no requirement to include this in its statement of account, WQC has been notified by the BPS that it estimates WQC’s liability as at 31 December 2021 to be £49,400, a decrease of £24,400  on the £73,800 estimated liability at the end of 2020. 

## Going Concern 

On the basis that WQC has considerable assets, cash reserves that would enable it to conduct its operations were its income to cease for a period of eight months, and its annual income is broadly in line with its expenditure, it is the view of the Leadership team that WQC has sustainable finances for the foreseeable future, and is a going concern.
