CHURCH COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
REPORT OF THE CHURCH COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
The Church Committee, who are Trustees for the purposes of Charity Law, have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements of the Church for the year ended 30 September 2020. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the church’s constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Purpose
The objectives of the church are:
-
to provide a place of worship for the members of the True Jesus Church in Leicester, Peterborough and the surrounding areas;
-
to worship the one true God in accordance with the Old and the New Testaments of the Holy Bible;
-
to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ with the doctrines of one true God, one true church, water baptism, receiving the holy spirit, foot washing, holy communion and the Sabbath; and
-
to prepare for the Lord's second coming.
Aims and Activities
These objectives are met through regular meetings for worship where they are preached to the congregation. In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the charity commission guidance on public benefit.
Grant Making Policy
The Church Committee operates a policy to contribute a proportion of its income to the UKGA. The level of contribution is suggested by the UKGA and is currently about 30% of the total general offerings received by the church.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The church has been holding regular services every Sabbath (Saturday), Sunday and Wednesday. The average attendance varies from about twenty-five on Wednesdays and one hundred and sixty on the Sabbath and on Sundays. Apart from services, the church has also been running religious education classes for the children. The attendance rate for the latter has been as high as 90%.
The church services had to be stopped due to the Covid-19 lockdown in the last week of March 2020. However, the church continued to hold regular services using online platform. The church will continue the online services until the government decides that it is safe to return to the church.

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
How our activities deliver public benefit
Our main activity is to preach the salvation grace of Christ Jesus, the one True God. The benefit is for those who believe, to gain eternal life in the future. The Church provides a place of worship for the followers and any truth-seeking friends in Leicester and surrounding counties. The Church also holds regular services on Saturday for the followers to keep the Sabbath.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The church’s principal source of income is from offerings received from its followers. Total income from unrestricted funds were £123,563 (2019: £126,130) and total resources expended were £72,672 (2019: £98,811). The net incoming resources on the general unrestricted funds, which are the operational reserves of the charity, were £50,891 (2019: £27,319). The total income on unrestricted funds decreased by 2.0% (2019: increased 7.5%) compared to last year, total resources expended increased by 7.5% (2019: decreased by 26.5%).
Total income from restricted funds was £4,433 (2019: 13,730) of which £2,904 (2019: 7,940) was for the church’s building fund, and the total resources expended were £1,329 (2019: £5,790). During the year £1,395 (2019: £670) was spent on the property improvements, equipment, furniture, fittings and fixtures from the building fund. The church repaid £50,000 (2019: £nil) of loans.
Reserves Policy
The General fund represents the free reserves of the church arising from past operating results. The free reserves, representing unrestricted funds less the designated funds, stood at £97,673 (2019: £93,355), representing approximately eleven month’s expenditure. The Church Committee members have examined the requirement to maintain free reserves and concluded that they are holding an appropriate level of reserves.
Investment Policy
The reserves are currently held in cash, which the Church Committee feels is appropriate given the continuing volatility of the stock market. The Church Committee will keep this policy under review.
Risk Management
The Church Committee have assessed the major risks to which the church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trustees and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The church plans continuing the activities outlined above for the forthcoming years. The church plans to raise £50,000 each year for the building fund to pay down the outstanding loans owed to other UK churches. The church has planned to hold the National Student Spiritual Convocation (NSSC) in August 2021 organised by the UKGA.

The Church is affiliated to the General Assembly of True Jesus Church (UK), (UKGA).
Management and Appointment of the Church Board and Church Committee
The management of the Church is the responsibility of the Church Committee who are elected and coopted under the terms of the constitution, which states that the church will elect nine members to form the Church Committee. This election will take place at the Annual General Meeting. Each member serves for a period of three years.

The current Trustees have held their posts for several years and are fully conversant with the work of the charity. Should a Trustee leave between AGM’s then the remaining Trustees will meet to appoint a new Trustee based on their skills and experience. The existing Trustees will mentor the new Trustee until they are familiar with the day-to-day workings and aims of the charity, and they will be given the opportunity to contribute fully to any management issues that are brought to the attention of the Board.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019
I report on the financial statements of the church for the year ended 30 September 2019 set out on pages 8 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
have not been met or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
