Orchard Baptist Church Trustees, Report Year Ended 31 December 2020 The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2020. About the Charity The Orchard Baptist Church was registered with the Charities Commission in the United Kingdom under Charity Reg. No. 1155012 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 15 December 2013 and commenced its activities on l April 2014. The Church is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Southern Counties Baptist Association. Objectives The main objectives of the Charity are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Charity may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. Activities In fulfilling the objectives of the Church, the organisation will engage in a range of activities either on its own or with others that will vary from time to time with activities being initiated, expanded or closed, as appropriate. The activities may include, but are not restricted to:_ regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching. baptism, as defined in the Baptist Union's Declaration of Principle. the communion of the Lord's Supper which shall normally be observed at least once a month; evangelism and mission, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. the teaching, encouragement, welcome and inclusion of young people; nurture and growth of Christian disciples. education and training for Christian and community service. giving and encouraging pastoral care supporting and encouraging social action in the United Kingdom and abroad; encouraging relationships with and supporting Baptists and other Christians Notwithstanding the appointment of persons to accept responsibility for any of the activities all individuals, groups and committees operating within the life of the Church, and their leaders, shall be accountable to the Charity Trustees and also through any specific direction of the Church Members, meeting.
Orchard Baptist Church Trustees, Report Cont'd/.... Year Ended 31 December 2020 Review of Financial Position and Achievement The Charity's funds in 2020 were spent largely on the work of the Church with and for its congregation and in the local community, and also on the various mission partners chosen by the Church membership. The majority of the funds were spent on the employment of two full-time ministers. The charity also employs an administrative assistant on a part-time basis. As a result of the Covid pandemic, savings were made in our regular expenditure as we were unable to hire Cooper School, though other venues were hired and additional expenditure was made on equipment to allow services to continue online. We supported church mission partners in South East Asia and Africa as well as mission partners within the UK. Any net funds carried forward into 2021 will support the continuing work of the Church in meeting its stated objectives. Several opportunities to connect with and care for the wider community occurred this year as well as opportunities to care for a dispersed church. Costs involved in these activities were met from within the Budget allowance or from grants and other outside sources. Plans for the Future Through the church's raising of funds through gifts, grants, unsecured loans and a loan from the Baptist Union the manse on Graven Hill was completed and occupied in 2020 by our Community Minister. From its commencement in 2018, the church committed to fund this ministry for at least 5 years, recognising that the property could be sold, if necessary, to repay the unsecured loans (some of the loans to the church are for 5 years, others are indefinite, and the BU loan is to be repaid over 20 years). Recognising the challenge to increase expenditure in coming years to meet the ongoing costs of the ministry of the church, we will continue to encourage generous giving from the members and the wider congregation of the church, and seek grant funding where possible. The church's reserves will be used to fund any shortfall in income over expenditure during this time. In a revised reserves policy, the trustees have set a minimum reserves level of £50,000. The Trustees will carefully monitor the level of reserves and recommend appropriate actions to the church as necessary to manage income and expenditure to ensure the effectiveness of ministry alongside financial stability.
Orchard Baptist Church Trustees, Report Cont'd/... Year Ended 31 December 2020 Our intention for 2021 is to continue to fund the day to day running costs of the Church including the payment of salaries and associated costs for our full-time ministers and part-time administrator. The Charity also aims to continue to support our mission partners. The Church is currently affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Evangelical Alliance, both charities, and also financially supports various other charities including the Southern Counties Baptist Association, Open Doors, BMS World Mission, the Kalji Trust and Bicester Christian Action in support of the Foodbank.

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 you as 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 us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. .-2IL.lZ1 Mrs V J Thomas Independent Examiner Date
