Faringdon Baptist Church Trustees Annual Report (TAR) for 2023124 The Trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for 2023/24. Charitable Object 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 Trust which are entirely compatible with the above object. Organisational Structure and Decislon-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 Jesus Christ, or following other modes of baptism to renew their public profession of faith in Jesus Christ. The Members, Meeting normally takes place six times per year and has responsibility for the overall policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint Trustees, who together with the Minister, Church Secretary and Treasurer {who are also appointed by the members), and collectively known as the Leadership Team, are responsible for the day to day running of the church's work and witne55, and the financial and legal aspects of the charity. All members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objective. Relevant matter5 may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustees for guidance, or may be raised by members in Church meetings for further consideration by the Trustees. Though the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church meetings by appropriate majorities, 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 to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Christ as living Lord. Central to the work and witness of the Church is the provision of regular public services of Christian worship. These seNices take place each Sunday at 10.30 am. There are also monthly Prayer meetings at other times which are advertised on the Church notices and the website at www.farin don-ba tist.or There is a children's programme during the morning services. The church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community and anybody is free to attend any of these services. The Church runs a series of growth groups for the growth of faith and discipleship in the homes Farin8don Bapt15t Church Trustee Annual Report Charity number.. 1138446
of some members, and further details of these can be obtained from the Trustees on request, or at the Sunday services. From time to time the Church runs courses for people interested in discovering more about Christianity. 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. The Church has read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and is satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly demonstrates that the charity is providing a benefit to the public. Achievements and Performance The Church does not measure the success of its programmes only in numbers, including financial numbers, but a150 in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2023124 was a positive year in the life of the church. It is cognisant of the changes taking place in the local community and is exploring new avenues to pursue its mission purposes in the future with equal enthusiasm. As always, membership and attendance has fluctuated during the year, sadly, we have had to bid farewell to some members who have moved on however attendance on a Sunday morning has grown slightly. On 1st March 2024 the membership stood at 51. Some members meet regularly for prayer on a monthly basis and the 'Care and Share, group which meets during term time on Wednesday mornings is growing. The church continues to work with other organisations within the town of Faringdon. The Faringdon Day Centre continue to meet here providing a lunch and support for older members of the community. 'Messy Dads, happens on the first Saturday of each month giving space for carers and their children to meet together with food, play and friendship and is universally popular. In addition, FAAAZE centre for teenagers with learning disabilities and a gathering of local Ukrainians use the building regularly during the week. Financial Review The Church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. No wider public appeal was made for funds during the year. The most significant cost IS the employment of a Pastor, together with the cost of providing a Manse for the Pastor. The Pastor works to lead and co-ordinate the church's activities including the Sunday Services, to provide pastoral care for the congregation and other people, and to equip and encourage the membership in their life, Christian witness and service. A new pastor began service at the church in November 2023. The Church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making grants to national and international Christian organisations and societies with Christian aims and objectives compatible with the church's own charitable purpose. 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 objective5.

The Church is a participating employer in the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is a separate legal entity administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.
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. Prior to this date the main benefit provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was a 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. Since 1 January 2012, benefits have been provided through a Defined Contribution (DC) Plan.
A formal valuation of the DB Plan was last performed as at 31 December 2019 bya professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. At the valuation date the market value of the DB Plan assets was £298 million, whilst the level of assets needed to pay benefits was £316m, giving a deficit of £18m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Church and the other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme was due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.
On 30th June 2022 the Baptist Pension Scheme signed an agreement with the insurance company Just Group (“Just”) to secure DB Plan members’ pension benefits. Just are now providing financial backing for all pensions provided through the Scheme’s DB Plan and following this transaction, the Scheme no longer has a shortfall. An updated Recovery plan was then signed in August 2022 under which recovery contributions from each participating employer in the DB Plan reduced to £1 per month from August 2022.
- Funds forming part of the BUC deposit account
The Future Fund: £82,785. The Future Fund is being held for possible use for major development of the Bromsgrove premises or the acquisition of other premises unless or until a Special Church Meeting otherwise resolves. This sum is net of any interest that is attributable to the sum held.
The John Colligan Legacy Fund: £83,008 (28 Feb 2023). The Special Church Meeting of 28th November 2019 resolved that the money from this legacy, both capital and income, could be used for the general purposes of the Church. At the Special Church Meeting held on 16 May 2024 it was agreed that the funds held as to both capital and income as a reserve fund can be used for the improvement or maintenance of any Church owned property and/or employment of a further Church worker and that this designation to remain unless or until a Special Church Meeting otherwise resolves.
