Charity Registration Number: 1141903

Managing Trustees:

The principal 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 managing trustees are the Elder and Deacons of the Church. In September Mr Berry resigned as a Trustee. Mr Russell Brooks was appointed a Trustee in October. During the past year the Trustees have met together to discuss financial and practical matters both face to face and online. Our treasurer is now Mr Russell Brooks who has succeeded Mr John Stein. He 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 Sunday Mornings and Tuesday Evenings, with

a Bible Study on Thursday mornings. The Lord’s Supper is held on the first Sunday of the month in the morning, and each Sunday evening through the rest of each month.

Meetings for the instruction of children and young people have continued on Sundays (3pm on Sunday afternoon); and during School Term time midweek children’s meetings on Mondays and Thursdays.
