STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The Church’s governing document is a Declaration of Trust made in 1937 which sets out the objects of the charity. (A copy is held in the Church Office if Members wish to read it.)

South Hanwell Baptist Church was formed in 1959 as an amalgamation of two churches, Westminster Road Church (old, decaying buildings) and Boston Road Baptist Church (bomb damage during 1939/45 war) for which the Trust Deed was drawn up.

The Church rules are governed by the new Constitution which was agreed by the Church Members in February 2013. An amendment to this Constitution regarding postal voting was agreed at the church meeting on 2 December 2020. A copy of the Constitution is made available to new members.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees is governed by the Church Constitution. Trustees are chosen from among existing church members who show the reality of their faith by the consistency of their Christian character and by their loyalty to the cause of Christ. The Minister may select one or more Church Members to be Elders who will also be Church Trustees. The appointment shall be considered by the Church Trustees and, if approved, shall be confirmed by a secret ballot at the church meeting. To be appointed an Elder, the candidate shall have received votes from at least 67% of those members voting. Elders shall serve a term of three years, with the opportunity for re-recommendation. The Diaconate consists of two Church Officers – Secretary and Treasurer, together with up to eight elected Deacons. Annual elections are held at the AGM by ballot. Nominees must secure a vote of at least two thirds of those present and eligible to vote. Deacons serve for a period of two years and up to four Deacons stand down each year.

Organisational Structure

The Church is governed and regulated by its own Members where all aspects of the work of the Church are subject to the approval of the Church Meeting which is held at least four times a year. The Minister of the Church is a paid Managing Trustee and with the Elders and Deacons gives leadership to the Church. The Elders assist the Minister with matters of spiritual leadership and the Deacons, with the practical aspects of running the church and with preparing the business for the Church Meeting. All of these people are Charity Trustees under our Charitable Status

20/08/2024

The Charity Trustees oversee the ministry budgets. An annual budget is authorised by the Church Meeting and overseen by the Charity Trustees.

Imogen Onwuka and Andrea Poster are employed on a part-time basis sharing the role of Families and Children’s Worker.

The Baptist Union of Great Britain and the London Baptist Property Board

The Church is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (‘BUGB’).The Union provides resources and gives support and guidance, if asked. For convenience, the Baptist Union divides the country into a number of smaller administrative areas and the Church is part of the London Baptist Association (‘LBA’). The Church pays an annual subscription to both LBA and BUGB based on its membership numbers and also makes donations to both the BUGB Home Mission Fund for Baptist mission work in the UK and to the Baptist World Mission Fund (BMS) for overseas work.

The London Baptist Property Board is the Registered Proprietor of the church buildings and the manse, which they hold for the use and benefit of the members of South Hanwell Baptist Church. It is not, therefore, necessary to change the names of the property owners every time the Diaconate changes.

Relationships between the Church (Charity) and Related Parties

The church is a member of The Evangelical Alliance, with the Membership Number: 241606.

Churches Together in Hanwell (CTiH) – the Church was a member of the ecumenical partnership of churches in Hanwell, however this group has not carried out any activities or events during 2022 and the partnership was discontinued by all parties in 2023.

South Hanwell Baptist is a host church for Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter.

The church works closely with the charities K180 and Hamsayeh International.

Risk Management

Risk assessments are carried out for regular church activities. These were updated in 2020 to reflect the extra requirements that came from reopening following the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown. Now most COVID restrictions/requirements have been rescinded by the Government we have reverted to previous risk assessments with the COVID ones remaining on stand-by should things change again.

Facility Improvements in 2023

Emergency repairs were carried out to the hut roof as a result of storm damage. A new boiler was installed in the kitchen to provide hot water and heating to kitchen and toilets. Repairs were carried out on vestry roof and corridor roof and guttering cleared. Repairs to skylight seals in the corridor. Following a flood caused by frozen pipes insurance work was carried out in a number of areas: new stopcocks in kitchen and for the pipe in the roof, water damage to electrics in sanctuary, replacement of LED lights in sanctuary, refurbishment of the floor in the sanctuary. In addition to this and as part of the work the church paid for the stage and schoolroom floors to also be refurbished. Structural survey and timber survey to the Hut undertaken which has highlighted serious defects in this building thus limiting its use.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CHURCH IN 2022

Objectives of the Charity

As set out in the Trust Deed:

(a) ‘provide a place of public worship for the service of Almighty God by … persons who hold the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sole authority of the Holy Scriptures and the interpretation of them usually called Evangelical … and have made a confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.’
(b) ‘instruct children and adults and for the promotion of such other charitable purposes whether religious or philanthropic as the church shall from time to time direct.’

Charity’s Aims

South Hanwell Baptist Church seeks to be an active Christian community/fellowship bringing Christian witness, love and care to the people from all walks of life and countries of the world of Hanwell and further afield. The Church supports missions (evangelistic or for distress relief) both home and abroad by prayer, finance and in practical ways.

Members of the Church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution, which requires them to be or have been publicly baptised on their profession of faith in Jesus Christ, or following other modes of baptism to declare their public profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

During 2022, there were 3 baptisms, 1 member died and 3 new members were received. The Church membership as at 31 December 2022 is 68.

What we believe

From the Church’s Statement of Faith, we believe in:

1) The eternal existence and unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
2) The divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures as originally given and their authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
3) The universal sinfulness and consequent guilt of the human race, rendering man subject to the just judgement of God.
4) The Incarnation of the Son of God who was born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, lived a sinless life and by his substitutionary death and bodily resurrection made an atonement for all mankind and that by personal faith in him as Redeemer, a sinner is freely justified.
5) The person of the Holy Spirit, whose work of regenerating, anointing and sanctifying results in the presentation of Christ in the believer and is manifested by holiness of life and a deep concern for the salvation of others.
6) The dedication of children, the baptism of believers, the observance of the Lord’s Supper and the exercise of the gifts of the Spirit in a spiritual and disciplined church.
7) The personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the gathering of his Church to him, the resurrection of the dead and the final judgement determining the future punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous.

And under the Baptist Union’s Declaration of Principle,

4 c:\users\christine\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\inetcache\content.outlook\zicow46n\secs report 2023 v2 (003).docx

20/08/2024

The basis of this Union is:

1) That our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God manifest in the Flesh, is the sole and absolute authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as revealed in the Holy Scripture and that each church has liberty, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to interpret and administer His laws.
2) That Christian Baptism is the immersion in water into the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, of those who have professed repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who ‘died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried and rose again on the third day.’
3) That it is the duty of every disciple to bear personal witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to take part in the evangelisation of the world.

The Church’s Main objectives for the Year

Church Leaders encouraged the attendees of the Church to be involved in activities focused around three main objectives: Worship, Mission and Community as recognised in the South Hanwell Baptist Church Covenant Statement.

Worship: a commitment to exalt Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour through life and practice, both individually and corporately.

Mission: A commitment to Christ’s plan to reach the world through this church, both individually and corporately.

Community: a recognition that together we are the body of Christ, with a commitment to love one another through support, nurture, prayer and fellowship.

Achievements and Performance

During 2023 we had:

4 new church members join us

7 members leave us to move to worship at other places

4 children dedicated 10 baptisms

Worship: Sunday mornings services continue to be well attended and continue to be translated into Farsi (via a phone app) for our Farsi speaking attendees. Sung worship has been led by a variety of musicians and singers. Services also include times of prayer and contemplation, as well as biblical talk and communion services are held once a month.

Weekly prayer meetings take place, these alternate between being in person and online on Monday evening.

Life Groups take place at a variety of different times and days across the week. Some groups meet in person whilst others meet virtually via online meeting platforms.

Sunday morning sermons have covered a number of topics over the year including: Thessalonians, Judges, Jude and 1 Peter. During the Pastor’s sabbatical we had three external guest speakers.

Our Sunday morning group for primary aged children meets every week during term time and some weeks during the school holidays. They have studied the bible and learnt about faith together using a variety of study materials.

c:\users\christine\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\inetcache\content.outlook\zicow46n\secs report 2023 v2 (003).docx

20/08/2024

The Teenage Group met for bible study together during the morning service every other week in term time.

On 10 September 2023, there was a Church Away Day at St Mark’s School. The theme was “Worship”.

Mission: The church congregation have continued to be encouraged to reach out and share Jesus with their friends and neighbours.

We ran a number of outreach events for the community this year including an Easter Egg Hunt, Light Party on Halloween, The Christmas Journey, Interactive Nativity Service, Carol Service and Carol singing in a local pub. We ran a stall at the Hanwell Carnival providing a place for people to relax and chat and children to take part in some simple craft activities, and a beat the goalie competition with a short gospel message at the prize giving.

Internationals:

Alongside the Farsi translation and the work carried out alongside Hemsayah, we continue to have a life group dedicated to those who are from other countries who now live in London. This group meets socially for food and fellowship, as well as for bible study and prayer.

Children and Families:

Hullabaloo is a drop-in group for parents with under 5s and meets on Friday morning. Numbers fluctuate each week as some children move onto nursery etc and we get a constant stream of new parents/carers. There are a number of “free-flow activities” set up for the children to enjoy. There is also a song and story time during with the team are trying to be more intentional in sharing the gospel and have had some good conversations. The team is made up of employees of the church and volunteers from the church and from the parents who attend.

“ W7kids ” is a kids club for children aged 4-11years which runs each Friday evening during Term Time. Numbers fluctuate each week with an average attendance of around 15 children. The evening involves, games, singing, craft activities, snack time and a short bible talk. The children are always full of questions and keen to share their experiences with the group.

Dad’s on Duty meets once a month on the third Saturday morning and seeks to be a place for Dads and their pre-schoolers to hang out together and spend time with other families.

Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter :

The church continues to be involved in ECWNS. We were pleased to be able to host guests again in person at the church for 6 Monday and Tuesday nights in the spring during 2023 after the restrictions following COVID.

: Community

The congregation have continued to be encouraged to support, encourage each other and build relationships. Weekly “post-service refreshments” continue to be a valuable time for the congregation to catch up with each other in fellowship. We held a number of church lunches

20/08/2024

both in homes and at the church after the morning service to encourage and develop friendships and build relationships.

The Ladies’ Brunch continues to take place on the second Saturday morning of each month. It is a chance for women connected to the church to get together to chat, eat and spend time reflecting on a bible verse or someone giving their testimony and praying together. The events are well attended and there are lots of positive comments each month. At Christmas a large evening social was held with a guest speaker which was well attended with lots of visitors as well.

A number of church families went camping together for a weekend for the 3[rd] year running during the summer holidays, which was a lot of fun and also a wonderful time to enjoy spending time together and taking part in a variety of activities at the Scout Camp. There were a variety of activities for everyone to take part in and everyone also enjoyed spending quality time just being together.

The men’s group have met socially for food and/or movies a couple of times during the year.

External Financial support

Outgoing:

The Church continued to provide financial support (beyond the Baptist causes mentioned previously) for :

K180 , a ministry focused on bringing gospel encouragement and training to many European countries. Several of our Church Members have been engaged in activities led by this mission.

Payments from the Compassionate Fund have been made to individuals in need connected to the church.

At Harvest Thanksgiving , monetary donations went to Ealing Food Bank and Barnabas Aid.

Premises Use: As well as being used for church events the church building continues to be hired out often for children’s birthday parties. We also have a regular hire for a NHS support group for those with Type 2 Diabetes. In 2023 the church hosted three groups of young people from churches in the USA.
