## **Trustees Report 2022** ## Rachel Cook (secretary). We have sought to serve the Lord and to minister to our members, congregation and the community, and there has been continuity of programme and purpose from previous years. We have operated with an awareness of the continuing situation regarding Covid 19. All activities of the church though have now resumed. ## Regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching; Our core activities have been public worship, preaching, teaching and Bible study in our services, Junior Church, youth groups and Life Groups. Some of these have been both in person, or via Zoom. We continue to facilitate our recorded ’in person’ services on our You Tube channel. We have facilitated attendance for worship at the building throughout the year. Our pastor has commenced a preaching series from the book of Hebrews and others in the leadership have continued preaching from 1 John. Life groups have followed the teaching content from the pastor through the book of Hebrews. ## Baptsm, as defned in the Union’s Declaraton of Principle; We have witnessed 7 people declare their faith in Christ by being baptised.. ## The Communion of the Lord’s Supper which shall normally be observed at least once a month; We have held monthly shared communion services throughout the year. Members of the leadership team have conducted communion services in homes for those of our congregation who are housebound or unable to attend because of illness/isolation. We have received 20 people into church membership at these services. ## Evangelism and mission, locally, regionally, natonally and internatonally Our schools worker has resumed in person teaching in addition to providing on line resources. Our puppet team have visited care homes and schools in addition to events at other churches. As part of our outreach, we facilitated a Summer Activities Programme during 2022 which culminated in a Fun Day during August Bank Holiday weekend. Community outreach and support was funded by £2384 of our budget. We have continued Fun Family Friday every fortnight, which provides a free hot meal, teaching and socialisation for families with children. This is funded from the church youth budget. ## The teaching, encouragement, welcome and inclusion of young people _._ We include and involve young people in our services by having a 10-15-minute slot in the morning services particularly applicable to young people and this also forms part of our You Tube services. Junior church has also been facilitated each week at the building. A staffed creche runs during the 11am morning service. The Puppet team have continued regular meetings. On week days there are 3 organisations catering for young people “Ignite” (years 11-16); NUTS (Years 7-11) and Fun Family Friday for families with children of any age. We have adopted and regularly commit to our Safeguarding Policy. Youth activities are funded by the church and have used £2634 of our budget. ## Nurture and growth of Christan disciples We have endeavoured to nurture young Christians with 1-to-1 nurturing. We also run Baptismal classes and Life Groups to encourage the nurturing and growth of Christian disciples. Life groups have met regularly either in person or via Zoom. We offer a 6 week Christianity Explored course for those seeking to know more about the Christian faith. ## Educaton and training for Christan and community service We encourage Christian and community service and offer education and training via other organisations. We support one of our members who works as a Primary Schools Worker. We hosted a EMBA safeguarding training day and several group leaders and helpers were funded to attend. ## Giving and encouraging pastoral care; We have sought to give and to encourage pastoral care for all those who attend the church and those who are not members. Deacons are elected as people with, amongst other things, “a pastoral heart” but this responsibility is shared across the church, the pastoral care team. Life Groups also play a key role in pastoral care. ## Supportng and encouraging charitable social acton in the United Kingdom and abroad We have supported and encouraged charitable action in the United Kingdom; and some members of the church are involved in, Grimsby Shoeboxes as well as Good News for Everyone, LIVES and other charitable work. The puppet team donated proceeds from their Christmas events to the Grimsby Food Kitchen. Around 15 of our members have signed up and trained with Safe families for Children who support families at points of crisis in their lives both practically and emotionally in the local area and Safe Families report that 20 families in the area have been supported by these people. One of our church members is now employed by Safe Families. We run a weekly parent & child lunchtime gathering for fellowship called TOTS GB. Weekly attendance at this group is growing. This is open to both the church and the community. This group is funded by the youth budget We run a group called CAMEO, aimed at senior citizens, which promotes fellowship and freedom from loneliness. This group is funded by the church. Encouraging relatonships with and supportng Baptsts and other Christans. We have supported Baptists and other Christians in a variety of ways. We have a link with the Baptist Missionary Society and have supported students and staff of the New Tribes Mission College. £27,016 of our income was given to the Baptist Home Mission Fund, the Baptist Missionary Society and to Christian workers in long and short term mission both locally, regionally and abroad. ## GRIMSBY BAPTIST CHURCH ## INCOME & EXPENDITURE 1 JANUARY 2022 TO 31 DECEMBER 2022 |Income
