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.

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.

Orchard Baptist Church
Independent Examiners Report
Year Ended 31 December 2020
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set
out on pages 5 to 6.
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(2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed:_
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. and
to state when particular matters have come to our 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 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.
