WHIDDON VALLEY EVANGELICAL CHURCH ## Stoat Park, Whiddon Valley, Barnstaple EX32 8PT Annual Trustees’ Report for the Year ending 31 December 2021 ## Charity Registration Number: 1141903 Managing Trustees: Pastor David William Kay Mr David John Berry Mr Brian Kenneth Judge Mr John William Stein Holding Trustee: The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) Ltd. The principle objective of our charity, Whiddon Valley Evangelical Church, is the advancement of the Christian Faith. The main activities undertaken to further this purpose for the public benefit are summarised in this report. Our charity approved the ‘Constitution for Grace Baptist Church Charities – version 7.0.’ as our constituting document at a special meeting of the Church Members on 01/03/2011. The managing trustees had been voted into their positions by the Church Membership having sought the will of God and have the general day by day control and management of the charity. The current managing trustees are the Deacons and Elders of the Church which have remained unchanged until September when Mr Berry resigned as an Elder although he still remains a Trustee. During the past year the Trustees have met together to discuss financial and practical matters both face to face and online during lockdown. Our treasurer Mr John Stein, constantly reviews our level of spending which is reported to trustees on a regular basis, and who are also made aware of our level of reserves. Any large financial spending would be brought for the ratification of the whole membership at a Church Members’ Meeting. No changes can be made to the Constitution or the Rules and Regulations without a 75% majority of the whole membership. During the past year we have never had any funds that were materially in deficit and it is our policy not to hold large reserves. We have continued with regular services of worship at 11.00am and 6.30pm on Sundays, and held Prayer Meetings on Tuesday Evenings, with Bible Studies moving to Thursday mornings. The Lord’s Supper was held on the first Sunday of the month after the Evening Service when worship in the Church building was permitted. 1 The activities of the church were severely curtailed in 2021 owing to the pandemic. During lockdown our services went online, the building being closed for formal worship in line with Government guidelines. Our children’s work ceased for most of the year and recommenced when Government guidelines permitted, although the Sunday school also used Internet facilities. ## The Trustees of Whiddon Valley Evangelical Church 2 WHIDDON VALLEY EVANGELICAL CHURCH UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Registered Charity Number: 1141903 WHIDDON VALLEY EVANGELICAL CHURCH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Independent examiner's report to the trustee5 of Whiddon Valley Evangelical Church I report to the trustees on my examination of the receipts and payments accounts of Whiddon Valley Evangelical Church for the year ended 31 December 2021.
