## TRUSTEES REPORT
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2023
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY
The principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Charity may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
## MISSION STATEMENT
## “Meeting with God. Walking with God. Serving God.”
Our mission statement gives us our purpose, our process and our mission. This is what God wants us to do. This is how we’re going to do it. This is what we’re going to help others to do.
MEETING WITH GOD centres on our Sunday services and is about the personal revelation, spiritual refreshing and recharging we need to empower our Christian life.
WALKING WITH GOD is reflected in our relationship with Him through the week: learning, growing, connecting.
SERVING GOD and bearing fruit are our ultimate purpose: our commission, our compassion, our commitment.
All this is centred on our ongoing relationship with the Lord. MEETING WITH GOD is personal and intimate, and takes place as we encounter God’s presence and power together. WALKING WITH GOD is both personal and corporate as we journey with the Lord in devotion, in prayer and in connect groups. SERVING GOD is the outworking of all that He has deposited in us as we take His love to the world in diverse ways.
MEETING WITH GOD takes us deeper in our experience. WALKING WITH GOD makes us stronger in our relationship(s). SERVING GOD opens us wider in our influence.
## VISION STATEMENT
The church we see is ALIVE : vibrant, welcoming, joyful and fun; our services are bright, positive and celebratory.
The church we see is SPIRIT FILLED : passionate in worship, where His presence is tangible, where the gifts of the Holy Spirit are in operation, where those in need receive personal ministry, and where services are not religious rituals but encounters with God.
The church we see is GROWING : attractive to seekers, welcoming to guests, reaching out to the ostracised and the hurting, has multiple arms extending into our communities, and then challenges people to respond to the gospel such that confessions of salvation, baptisms and changed lives are the norm.
Page | 3 of 14
The church we see is TRANSFORMING : where broken lives, relationships and families are restored; where dead religion is replaced by dynamic relationship, unbelief by faith, hopelessness by joy, where sick people become healthy, the broken become whole, and new Christians become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
The church we see is a FAMILY : we started as a family and will continue to be a family. Our program will include large, weekly, communal meetings, but also small gatherings in people’s homes, where authentic friendship, honesty, trust, mutual support and accountability are cultivated.
The church we see is EQUIPPING : maturing people in their faith, encouraging them in their gifts, developing them in their leadership, and releasing them to be everything they can be for the Lord.
In pursuit of the Objects, Mission and Vision the Trustees expend the charity's resources on:
- employing Ministerial people and paying their expenses. (Ministry)
- paying for the organisation and hosting of events and projects that provide an opportunity for people to find out about Jesus. (Mission)
- hiring premises and providing equipment that provides a meeting place for members and visitors. (Rooms and building hire)
- necessary administration incurred in the running of the church. (Administration)
In addition, the church, in recognition of biblical principles, gives away at least 10% of its income in each year. These donations are made in response to local, national and world events and are usually made to organisations known to the charity.
## CONSTITUTION
Bidford Baptist Church was planted in September 2005 from Chipping Campden Baptist Church (CCBC). It adopted a constitution in 2007 and became a separate entity on 1 January 2008.
Bidford Baptist Church adopted its current constitution on 1 May 2013 and registered with The Charity Commission on 15th August 2013 as “Bidford Baptist Church” with a working title of “theBarn” The charity registration number is 1153417. The Church is generally known as “theBarn”.

The charity’s Trustees are endorsed by the church in general meeting. Key responsibilities are assigned to Trustees by the Trustee Board.
## LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
During the year, the Trustees decided to adopt a new church leadership structure. It was felt that moving to two teams, Trustees and Leaders, would spread the workload more evenly and make sure ‘round pegs’ were fitting in ‘round holes.’
In June 2023 the structure of the church leadership was changed to provide for:
- A Trustee Board – who has legal responsibility and operational oversight for all aspects of the church’s mission and activities as well as for the appointment and employment of the senior pastor and ministry staff.
- A Leaders Team – Under the overall authority of the Trustees, the Leaders Team have responsibility for planning and directing the church ministries and the spiritual life of the church. Employed and volunteer Pastors and staff. Pastors who are recognised by the church as exercising particular calling and ministry, at the end of the year comprised:
Rev Jamie Cox Senior Pastor & Trustee Jenny Gilham Childrens Pastor Claire Griffiths Pre-School Children’s Pastor Emma King Teens & Family Pastor
At the 2023 AGM, Barry Goldsby and Roger Keyte were appointed to the Trustee Board, with responsibility for Facilities and Finances respectively. Mary Keyte and Murray Scholefield stepped down as Trustees at the same point and instead joined the newly formed Leaders Team, along with Jamie Cox, Paul Johnson, Simon Meek and Tree Morton. Pete Kearney was invited to join the Leaders team, too, reflecting his growing influence and spiritual giftedness.
Trustees are fully involved in the life of the church giving them detailed knowledge of the organisation. They are also made aware of their obligations and responsibilities through Charity Commission publications and conferences and take due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Trustees usually meet bi-monthly and ensure the charity operates within the appropriate regulations and in line with its constitution and policies.
In 2024, we plan to look again at our governing documents to make sure the roles of the new teams are clearly defined and reflected in both our documentation and practice, and that lines of accountability and responsibility are unambiguous and helpful.
## GOVERNING DOCUMENT
Page | 5 of 14
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution and is constituted as an unincorporated charity. The charity will, in 2024, also be considering changing from an unincorporated charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
## REVIEW OF 2023
At the end of 2022, we reported that the Church seemed to be in good health spiritually, growing numerically and financially stable, while not unaware of potential budgetary challenges moving forward. The hope was that 2023 would see further growth, as we continued to consider the ways we could adapt and evolve our ministry to become more effective in meeting our aims, fulfilling our mission, realising our vision and extending our reach in the years to come.
We are pleased to report that 2023 built on the promising post-Covid environment and proved to be an extremely positive year. Attendance in general was up, particularly in the children’s and youth departments, where the appointment of Jenny Gilham as Key Stage 1&2 Kids Pastor saw new life, fresh purpose and pleasing momentum.
Sunday Morning Services continued to be buoyant. The main preaching series covered were:
- Clothed with Power (Looking at the 1 Corinthians 12 Gifts of the Holy Spirit and how they fit in the modern church)
- Outgrown (The frustrating areas in our lives we really would love to have conquered by now, but keep coming back to bite us)
- Galatians (A detailed study of Paul’s epistle)
- 21st Century Wisdom (Asking how, as Christians, we might deal skilfully with the prominent issues and challenges of our day)
- Kingdom Culture (A refresh of the culture Jesus exemplified and which we believe should characterise our church: positively positive, always full of grace, radically responsive, naturally supernatural, the fear of the Lord and the spirit of faith)
One significant development was the introduction of ‘Wired groups’ of like-minded, similarly-gifted individuals under the following headings: Evangelists, Givers, Prayers and the Prophetic. After a couple of sessions, Pastoral Care was added to that list. The purpose was to bring together people who perhaps wondered if they were the only one, so they could compare notes, encourage one another and see what the Lord might do if they worked together. The summer teaching series featured those initial four Wired themes, with members of the groups interviewed and with a shorter, explanatory times of preaching. We are confident this initiative will help to pull gifts out of gifted people for the furtherance of God’s kingdom.
As ever, church life was busy with all the various ministries well and truly in full swing.
## HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
- The Sunday evening ‘Refreshing’ meetings were moved from termly to monthly. The theme was ‘Treasure in His Presence,’ working through a list of ‘Rs’ – realignment, repentance, refining, restoration, refilling, refreshing, revelation, recommissioning and rest. The purpose of Refreshing is to give people the opportunity to respond more slowly and deeply in a time of reflection and ministry, to the call of the Lord delivered through His Word. It is particularly gratifying to see so many young people attending those evenings. They meet afterwards, too, as a group, for hot chocolate and follow-up.

- Café Barn continued to flourish, meeting nearly every Tuesday afternoon throughout the year. It remains popular with a group of those church folk and friends that are available during the daytime, and for them, it has proved to be a really valuable opportunity to find connection and support.
- The Light Party, our ‘Halloween-alternative’ kids event, was again extremely well-attended – something in the region of 250 people. It is a joyful mixture of making crafts, playing games, singing, eating and listening to the closing talk.
- Sunday Morning Kids Church numbers, in general, have been rising, thanks to the work of our fantastic team of volunteers, led by Jenny Gilham and Claire Griffiths, our Pre-School Pastor.
- Fusion Friday, our evening youth group, has also continued to flourish, and Sunday morning youth numbers have been higher than ever. Emma King now has oversight of our whole youth ministry, having been released from her ‘housekeeping’ responsibilities. Contract cleaners were appointed to fulfil that function towards the end of the year.
- Youth Camp 2023 was, as promised, bigger and better, growing on the foundations of the last couple of years. This proved to be a really meaningful experience, both for the young people and their leaders.
- Stay & Play, our three weekly pre-school and parent/carer sessions, continues to do a wonderful job amongst local families from the broader community. Ever-popular, with a warm, welcoming and relaxed culture, it has been encouraging to see more attendees trying out Sunday morning church.
- Summer Activities: Over the summer, we ran an outdoor service, picnic and barbecue, always looking for opportunities to help people connect and make friends.
- Barn Global continues to pray for and support several missionaries, ministries and concerns around the world. Those people are doing great work in difficult situations and we trust that the support of Barn Global is a great encouragement to them.
- MIX , our monthly accessible church service, has continued to share the Good News to our dearly loved ‘Mixers,’ always in such creative, imaginative and effective ways.
- Tearfund Big Quiz took place again in October, and Barn Global also ran a fundraising quiz.
- Christmas was typically busy and included Christmas Mix, Kids & Youth parties, an Instant Nativity, our Carol Service, Stay & Play’s Adult Christmas Supper, collecting gift boxes to send to Ukraine through ‘A Gift from an Angel’ and a Christmas Day service.
- Connect Gateway , our six-week course introducing people to life at the Church, ran twice in 2023, first in Feb/Mar and again in Oct/Nov. Both groups were well-attended and successful in their objectives of helping people settle in, learn more about us and finding their place in the church.
- Connect Groups meet regularly to build community, to pray together and to study the Word usually in home groups. Connect Group Leaders also meet periodically for leadership development, to report on how their group is doing, as well as to encourage and pray for one another.

- Safeguarding Training , Levels 2 and 3, were again held at theBarn this year, for our own volunteers, plus guests from other churches.
- We ran a Volunteers’ Fayre for the first time in December, attempting to fill gaps on rotas, as well as helping people find out where they might fit and serve.
- Baptisms, Funerals & Dedications : We baptised Faith Griffiths, Andy Brent and Marcus Parker in July, held a funeral service for a dear old saint, Ruth Baker, who passed away in her 90s, and a baby dedication for Isla Gardner.
- New Digital Sound Installation : After a long consultation phase, we were pleased to have new equipment installed in November to replace the aging analogue system and enhance our auditorium sound in general.
- At our AGM , held in June, we reported on membership, finances and safeguarding, as well as looking back at the past year and forward to the next. Trustee elections were held and we welcomed 20 new members and said goodbye to 11.
- Church Leadership Team, met for a retreat in February. We looked at a handful of ongoing issues: How to preserve and protect our culture, how to make sure people know we care, how we identify, train and release potential new volunteers and particularly leaders, and how we expect people to approach us in relation to their giftings. We then looked at Human Resources as a whole, with a special focus on what roles should be paid or volunteered, what vacant roles we currently have and who might be available to fill them.
So, as we review 2023, we are pleased to report that the Church continues to be in good health spiritually, growing numerically and stable financially. We are beginning to contemplate what might happen at the end of our current lease, which expires midway through 2026. And we are looking forward to 2024: the theme is seeking God for ‘more’ and asking what we can do to open the door for more of Him.
## RISK ASSESSMENT
Our risk assessment is kept under constant review to ensure our policies, procedures and practice comply with all current requirements. Assessment of risk features as a standing agenda item and our risk assessment is fully reviewed annually. The Trustees do not feel there are any significant risks to the stability of the charity at this time.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
The finances of the church are covered in the accounts section of this report (Pages 9-14).
It should be noted that, as a church, we commit to giving 10% of our ‘regular’ income to supporting local, national and international organisations and charities, as well as individuals in need. In 2023, we have continued to offer benevolence support where possible, as well as maintaining and, in some cases, increasing our support of various missionary and ministry friends and partners.
All income for the charity is given via voluntary donations from the membership, congregation and local community.
Total income in 2023 was 1.4% higher and total expenditure was 5% lower than in 2022. While certain items of expenditure increased during the year - such as energy costs, ministry expenses, building rental and maintenance and the replacement of the sound desk, these increases were offset by a reduction in payroll costs. This resulted in an overall surplus for the year.
## RESERVES
Page | 8 of 14
The Trustees continued to review the Reserves Policy during 2023 and our current policy is to maintain a cash reserve of, at least, £60 000. This figure is based on three months core expenditure which the Trustees have determined to be acceptable as part of their ongoing approach to sustainability and risk management.
## FINANCIAL PLANS FOR 2024
A comprehensive budget process involving all ministries of the church, was undertaken in late 2023. The Trustees agreed to a 2024 budget that included significant growth in the pre-school, children’s and youth ministries - all strong and growing area of the church’s ministry. A deficit budget has been approved in faith that the additional costs will be met by increased giving.
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Trustees have prepared the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND THE MEMBERS OF BIDFORD BAPTIST CHURCH IN RESPECT OF THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
## Respective responsibilities of the 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 statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
