## **Charity Registration Number:** 1136715 

**Trustees** Jonathan Morley Minister Heather Harris Church Secretary Robert Foster Treasurer Andrew Davies Mark Wagstaf David Wheway **Property Trustees** The Baptist Union Corporation Limited Baptist House 129 Broadway Didcot Oxfordshire OX11 8RT **Bankers** Santander, Bootle, Merseyside **Independent Examiner** John Denney, Chartered Accountant 

## **Charitable Object** 

The  Charity,  Sutton  in  the  Elms  Baptist  Church,  is  governed  by  an Approved Governing Document (the 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 Ltd, on Trusts which are entirely compatible with the above objective. 

## **Organisational Structure and Decision-making processes** 

Members of the Church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution which  requires  them  to  be  or  to  have  been  publicly  baptised  on  the profession of faith in the Trinity, or based on their own public profession of faith. 

The Members’ Meeting normally takes place at least four times per year and has responsibility for the overall policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint up to ten Trustees, including a Church  Secretary  and  Treasurer  who,  together  with  the  Minister,  are collectively known as the Diaconate. They are responsible for the day to day running of the church’s work and witness, and the financial and legal aspects of the charity. All members are encouraged to take an active part in  the  spiritual  and  practical  tasks  involved  in  the  furtherance  of  the charitable objective. 

Relevant matters may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustees for guidance, or may be raised by members for further consideration by the Trustees. The Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church meetings  by  appropriate  majorities  and  the  Church  seeks  to  work  by consensus wherever possible. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

In order to achieve the principal objective which is set out above, the Church provides a variety of activities both for its membership and for the local community. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord. 

Central to the work and witness of the Church is the act of regular public services of Christian worship. We seek to be a friendly and welcoming community and all are welcome to attend our services that take place each Sunday at 10.30 a.m. and on some Sundays at 6.00 p.m. There are also  services  at  other  times,  in  particular  to  celebrate  Christmas  and Easter;  these  are  advertised  on  the  Church’s  printed  noticesheet,  by leaflet, social media and our website, www.suttonelms.co.uk.  There is a programme for children and young people during services, as well as a crèche room available for use by pre-school children and their parents. 



The Church runs a series of house groups (known as Small Groups) in the church building and in the homes of some members for the growth of faith, fellowship and discipleship.  Further details of these can be obtained from the Trustees on request, or are available at the Sunday services of worship. 

The Church is responsible for a Toddler Group which usually meets on the Church premises on Thursday mornings. A new “mum and baby” group runs on Tuesday mornings. The purpose of both groups is to provide a safe place to develop friendships for local pre-school children and their carers, demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ. 

The Covid-19 pandemic continued to have a significant impact on how events and services were held during 2021.  When the UK first went into national lockdown in March 2020, the church leadership responded rapidly by moving Sunday services online via the Youtube platform and many of its previously “in-person” meetings (including cofee after church services, Small Groups, prayer meetings and Church Member Meetings) moved on to Zoom.  During 2021, the church buildings were undergoing a major Redevelopment process, subject to the required permissions.  A new “hub” area was built between the church and the original Schoolroom.  During the warmer and drier summer months, we were able to hold some Sunday services outdoors on the church field and we were very pleased to be able to move into the new hub area for Sunday services from the autumn. 

The Church usually runs various events for youngsters and families during the year which have included the Easter story, a Bonfire party and various Christmas events. The purpose of these events is to provide enjoyable, entertaining and afordable activities for the children and their families and to introduce them to the Christian faith.  Covid-19 lockdowns and coronavirus Government guidelines meant that many of these activities were still somewhat restricted in 2021, although we were pleased that we were able to run an outdoor in-person Bonfire Night event and indoor Christmas events, including a Family Service and Carol Service. 

The monthly Men’s Prayer breakfast continues to attract both young and old for a time of food, fellowship and prayer, with both local and invited speakers.   These  meetings  moved  onto  Zoom  during  the  Covid-19 lockdowns, with many still turning up to chat and for support.  In-person meetings have been able to resume in 2021 and the new church kitchen is well-used! 

The  Church  operates  systems  to  ensure  that  all  people  working  with children and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted with regard to the Disclosure and Barring Service with an up-to-date Safeguarding Policy in place and regular training provided by the East Midlands Baptist Association. 

The church premises are normally well used by a variety of groups from the  community  during  daytime  and  evenings,  providing  a  variety  of activities for both children and adults. 



We are a Fairtrade Church, meaning that all tea/cofee provided on church premises is Fairtrade, we also request that all user groups also provide Fairtrade products. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Whilst  the  success  of  the  Church’s  programmes  can  be  indicated numerically, including financially, other less tangible measures of success such as strength of fellowship, quality of pastoral support and spiritual growth are equally important.   The church sought to encourage all its members  to  particularly  support  one  another  pastorally  and  in  prayer throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. 

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through infant dedication we thank God for the gift of life, through baptism we celebrate faith in Jesus, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give  thanks  for  the  life  which  is  now  complete  in  this  world  and  to commend the person into God's keeping. 

In  2021  there  were  no  changes  in  church  membership  and  at  31st December 2021 the membership remained at 83. 

The  church  financially  supports  a  Sponsor  Child  in  Colombia  through Compassion UK, Tearfund’s Children at Risk Programme, and has made donations to the work of Spurgeons’ Child Care and other local healthrelated charities. The church also currently supports a previous minister and his family in their ministry in Cape Town, South Africa. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Church continues to raise the funds it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. 

In 2021, weekly oferings were slightly below budget, although expenditure was also down as many planned events were unable to take place.  Funds continued to be raised from within the church and from external grant-making bodies and the Baptist Building CIO in order to finance the redevelopment project. 

The Church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making donations to national and  international  Christian organisations and societies with Christian aims and objectives compatible with the church’s own charitable purpose, and also to some non-Christian charities. 

The Church is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the Church’s activities, many of which run with little or no 



impact on the Church’s expenditure, but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of the Church’s objectives. 

The  financial  results  for  the  year,  together  with  a  summary  of  the accounting policies adopted, are set out in the accompanying financial statements. 

The Reserves Policy is set at four months of budgeted expenditure; such an amount would provide working capital to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure and to meet emergency calls on cash, for example for emergency repairs. 

The Trustees are satisfied that there are sufficient reserves at the Balance Sheet date, together with anticipated continuing income, to enable the Church to function efectively in the coming year.
