Ob"ectives and activities
The principle purpose of the Church is the advancernent of the Christian
faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Church
may also advan￿ education and carry out other charitable purposes in
the United Kingdom andlor other parts of the world.
Summary ofthe objects ofthe
charity set out In Its
governing document
In order to achieve the principal objective, the Church provides a variety
of activities both to its membership and to the wider community. The aim
is to show the love of Jesus Christ in word and deed and to bring people
into a closer relationship with him as living Lord.
One aspect of the work of the Church is the provision of regular public
services of Christian worship, which take place on a Sunday moming at
10.30arn, along with occasional services at other times which are
advertised on the church and community centre notice boards and on our
Facebook pages. All seNices are open to anyone. During the regular
moming service, we aim to provide activities for children and young
people.
The Church runs three mid-week groups which are open to all for the
development of faith and discipleship. Some smaller groups meet
fortnightly or monthly for mutual encouragement, accountability and
prayer. There is also a monthly men's breakfast and discussion. We hold
a monthly prayer meeting which is advertised on our church news sheet
and in Sunday Servi￿8. We also have a WhatsApp prayer group, where
members can post personal and wider prayer requests.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public beneflt in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Comrnission on public
benefit)
We run monthly interest groups - a walking group (weekly), book club,
craft night and cak8 club. Men's and women's socials are also arranged
from time to time.
The Church own8 and runs the Community Centre where it is based.
Rooms are hired out for activities such as exercise classes, children,
music and activity groups, counselling, teaching, choir8, business
meetings, training and parties.
The Church runs a Toddler group, called Little Lambs, which meets on
Wednesdays with the purpose of assisting the community and
demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ. It is preceded by a short session
called Diddy Disciples, for toddlers and their carers, which consists of a
short Bible story and a song.
The Church operates systems to ensure that all people working with
children and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted with by the
Disclosure and Barring Service.
The Twstees have read the Charity Commission guidance on public
benefit, and are satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly
demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public.

Section D
Achievements and performance
On Good Friday a number of church members were stationed outside the
building to give away free hot cross buns and leaflets about Christianity
and church activities, and to explain about the origins of Easter if
passers-by were open to that. On Easter Sunday we served bacon, egg
and sausage baps for breakfast before the service. This gave opportunity
.for strengthening fellowship as church members and visitors had relaxed
time to chat.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charlty
during the year
On 16th April, we baptised four people- two of our church teenagers and
two people who had come to faith through our Christianity Explored
course. The daughter of one lady was also 'dedicated' _ ie. Her rnother
and the church made promises to raise the child in the knowledge and
love of Jesus Christ.
At the start of May we were involved in an event hosted by the local
residents, association to ￿lebrate the King's coronation. The church ran
stall selling afternoon teas and giving out a specially produced book (by
Hope Together) and leaflets about church activities. Our Refresh café
was also open throughout, to serve drinks and cakes. The event was well
attended.
One of our members started running Baby Buggy walks on a monthly
basis. By the end of the year, she had contact with 18
parentslgrandparents with one to four people coming along each week,
depending on their other commitments.
At our church AGM in June we welcomed 6 people into church
membership and agreed the budget for the year ahead. A new rnid-week
'Life Group, started this month, with a second group starting in
September. These help to build relationships within the church and
enable believers to encourage and challenge one another in Iheir faith,
Ihrough Bible study, discussion and prayer. They also provide a forum for
people to learn the skill of leading a Bible study and discussion.
We designated 2nd July our vision Sunday. We shared a picnic together
and spent time in prayer and discussion regarding how to expand our
work with children and young people.
During August we ran a Kidzone on Wednesday and Fridays, offering
games and activities for children with their carers. This was well attended
and very well received and gave us opportunity to develop relationships
with young families from the local community and advertise our autumn
events.
In mid-september, we hosted a comedy night with Christian comedian,
Paul Kerensa. Paul delighted us with comedy and songs, and spoke
candidly about his Christian faith. The evening was very well attended,
including a good number of people from the local community. Later in the
month, we had a visit to our Sunday service by a representative of
Compassion UK who shared their work with impoverished children
around the world and encouraged those present to consider sponsoring a
Ghild.
From October onwards, our rninister encouraged those who were able to
join her on Tuesday momings for an hour of prayer for the church
mission, members and contacts. A group of 3-4 started meeting each
week, On 1st October we held a BBQ after the service to enable church

Section D
Achievements and performance
members to spend time together after the holiday months and to
encourage those who we hadn't seen for some time to re-connect with
the church family. On 14th October, we hosted an evening of songs from
community choir and a talk about the history of the local area. This was
a well-attended, enjoyable and infonnative evening.
At the end of October, we held a Light Event, celebrating All Hallow's
Eve, to coincide with the local Halloween trail. An enormous number of
families came through our doors, to be served free hot drinks, sausage
baps and cakes, and hundreds of children received gift bags containing a
Christian story and information about our upcoming Christmas events.
A ladies, weekend away was organised for November. Twenty ladies
spent two days at a local retreat centre. It was a wonderful time to get to
know each other better, leam more from God and be physically and
spiritually refreshed. Many of the men in the church enjoyed a Christmas
social at the local curry house.
At the start of December we ran a joint craft evening with a local lady.
She ran a wreath-making workshop and the church provided other crafts
such as Christmas card making, as well as opening Refresh café to serve
drinks and cakes. Later in the month we once again invited 90 pupils
from the nearby junior 8chool to attend our Christmas Unwrapped and
Easter Cracked presentations.
Our other Christmas events were a Living Nativity and a Carols by
Candlelight service. Both were very well attended and gave us
opportunity to share the Christian message. We gave out age-
appropriate booklets to children and adults alike and had information
available about a Christianity Explored course that we would be running
in January. Initially, eight people came along to the January course.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, half of these only came once or twice.
However, the four who remained found the Gontent useful and
challenging.
In January, we moved over to a new room booking system for our Centre
which enables hirers to view the diary and place provisional bookings.
Refresh café has continued to go from strength to strength. Customers
were given chocolate hearts on Valentine's day and the café celebrated
its 1st birthday in March. We had balloons, bunting, a bubble machine and
little grfts to take away. The café has become a Pla￿ to find comrnunity,
safety, practical help and to be heard.
Our regular interest groups have continued to flourish, with a good mix of
church members and other locals. The book club has about 10 drfferent
members with 5-8 meeting each month. Craft night attracts a small but
faithful group. It is a time for people lo share their worries and find
support. 10-18 people come for Cake night each month, with over 30
people attending at different times. Our Muddy Boots walking group is
very popular with 33 people on the register. A large group of young
people also joined them during a town-wide Walkfest in September. They
hope to add a monthly bird spotting walk in 2024. Our Renew space
continues to attraGt a group of 6-10 regulars. We are also joined, from
time to time, by a group from the local residential care home who enjoy a
café lunch and a change of scene. Our monthly Bible study in the care
horne also continues to be well received. Some overlap has developed
between groups and some group members have also come along to our
Sunda
services or to hel
out at other church events or activities.
