The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. The Church is committed to the provision, maintenance and improvement of its building, which is a place of religious worship and is open to the public. These objects are as amended by the draft revised constitution agreed at the Ordinary Church Members Meeting on 3[rd] December 2020. Prayer Gospel Empower Page 4 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report ## The charity's main activities 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 charitable social action in the United Kingdom and abroad; - encouraging relationships with and supporting Baptists and other Christians. ## Principle Vision Through PRAYER communication and relationship with our FATHER and by the GOSPEL of JESUS we are EMPOWERED by the SPIRIT to see people whom God has called, to grow in the personal anointing , maturity and understanding of being a disciple of Jesus Christ and become a disciple maker through prayer, sharing the Good News with and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ## Achievements and performance The year of 2022 has been a time of re-establishing and repositioning as lockdowns eased. This has also seen some things come to an end. We have welcomed new trustees, developing new leadership and strategic direction of how we fellowship and relate to each other. We have developed a new partnership approach to our church family. We have sought to continue to serve and change where needed, pursuing God’s vision and blessing for Buttershaw where we can. In it all, we are reminded in all things of the faithfulness of our Lord and Saviour. Prayer Gospel Empower Page 5 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report ## Baptisms We are conscious of the absence of baptisms in the regular life of the Church and this remains a high priority. With the new Partner approach to engagement of our Church Family, on an annual basis, will require asking those who worship with us to intentionally join us as a partner and to intentionally ask about their personal commitment to following Jesus witnessed by the act of baptism by full immersion. We have not had the opportunity to hold a baptism service in the past year. ## Mission We see mission; locally, regionally, nationally and internationally as key to the calling upon the life of Buttershaw Baptist Church. We have been blessed to hold our Community Choir. It has been great to see our community continue to sing together in voice and song. The Choir performed at our Jubilee celebrations, at a family day at the local youth centre and at our Christmas events. We also have our community band with the same aims and goals as the choir. Although we would like to see more engaging in this activity, we do have a good range of people attending from different backgrounds and ages. Our Jubilee celebration included performances by the Community Choir, bouncy castle, obstacle course and rodeo, crafts and food. The day was attended by around 120 of our local community who enjoyed the activities and music. There were families enjoying the activities, good weather and God’s blessing for our community. What better place for God’s Church to be than providing enjoyment and blessing to the families and children of this place. We had an incredible Children's Club again this year, it was truly a blessing to be able to share God’s word with the young people of Buttershaw over a week of spirit filled entertainment. The Family Sunday was a vision of a community Church in action, multi-generational families eating, worshiping and engaging in celebration of God’s blessing. The relationship’s with the organisations and representatives of local schools, council, wardens, councillors, youth centre, churches, children centres and charities continues to grow and help to bring money, resources and help to local people and challenges they face. We continue to work in partnership to help deliver local events, bring help directly to local people in the form of roadshows and consult with police and city-wide organisations. With ever growing financial pressure and the impact this has on health issues we have set up a warm space to help tackle and connect with local people by providing a space for those who find themselves isolated and worried to join us each week for food, warmth and conversation. We expect that the cost of living crises will grow as we move into 2023 and we are expecting the need to continue to work hard as a community church alongside our partners is going to be pivotal to address these issues. Our long standing youth mission programme, Eden Buttershaw in partnership with The Message Trust, has come to an end with the resignation of key people and team members. Prayer Gospel Empower Page 6 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report This has been an incredible and blessed missional field where we saw much of God’s blessing being poured out on the estate. We are sincerely grateful for the hard work of the Eden Team over the years and are confident in the anointing God has on them. We hope to work with The Message Trust on future mission initiatives. ## People We have had a number of membership resignations as families have moved into new seasons of their lives. We have also welcomed some new people and families who are regularly worshiping with us. We would again like to thank and recognise the passion, vision and commitment of our current membership and we are enjoying seeing many of them stepping out into new areas as they put their faith into action. In the summer we updated our Safeguarding policy and provided training to our church membership and those in regular worship with us. ## Life Groups Our Lifegroups are a place to connect and belong. They are a place where you are known and can grow. We take time to praise and worship God before delving into His word through bible studies or following a teaching series. We have started a series called ‘Godspeed’, which is about slowing down our busy lives in order to catch up with God. We endeavour to create a safe space, where we can be vulnerable and learn how to minister to each other, and where there is no such thing as a silly question. In essence, Lifegroup is essential in any faith journey. We know that Lifegroups are of key worth, for a few reasons; opportunity to check in with a small group of people mid week, get to know one another better, open up and be praying for one another, worshipping and studying the Bible together. It grows good friendships and is the fibre of our Spirit filled Church family. We are blessed to have a handful of young people who are connected to us at Buttershaw Baptist Church. We said goodbye to Aurelia and Vickon who left for university, and have established a new young people’s group. The new group has 6 young people attending each week and we have followed teaching using resources from the ‘rightnowmedia’ platform which has been a great resource. Our aim is to develop relationships within the group and set our sights on mission and discipleship. ## Trustee changes and activities It was with regret we accepted the resignation of Matthew Law, in his role as a Trustee. We however, have welcomed Elizabeth Radice and Helen Thomson as Trustees. Their enthusiasm and gifts are truly blessing us. Their passion to see God’s love shared, the Word lived out and proclaimed, for Prayer being at the heart of everything is a great blessing to the trustee team and the health of the Church. With a trustee team of five this is providing us with a stronger group to better serve the Church. We would still welcome the nomination of further Prayer Gospel Empower Page 7 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report new trustees in the forthcoming year to support the works of the CIO and see God’s blessing continue to increase on Buttershaw. As a group of Trustees, we have been seeking to develop a more inclusive leadership approach. As part of this we held an away day for those providing key inputs, leadership and service to the life of the Church. This was a great day where we were ministered to by an old friend of the Church Ash Harding who challenged us on our hopes and faith for the Church. The day helped us capture our collective vision of our Church and the characteristics that are important to us.. In addition, we recognised the importance of taking time away to understand what God is calling us to. We had an extended elders meeting and away day in October where we shared and sought God’s direction. This was a valuable time of reflection, personally and as a body, seeking God’s direction. It helped us develop vision and planning further our activities. ## Our ministry At Buttershaw Baptist Church we are wanting to move away from the conventional model of membership and move towards being “PARTNERS '' of Buttershaw Baptist Church. We are looking to make the decision to change not because we fundamentally disagreed with the inherited system but because we are wanting to reclaim a more relational basis for commitment within the church community. We continue to discern the mind of Christ as a church through prayerful discussion amongst those who are Partners (our new name for 'Members') but decision-making within a congregational system of church government is no longer the primary 'point' of membership. Instead, being a Partner of the church reflects those who are a 'part' of the church family, vision and values of Buttershaw Baptist church and most importantly, our relationship with God, each other and those in the wider communities in which we live. Partnership should become first and foremost about meaningful covenantal relationships. Commitment is no longer a duty so much as a desire to walk together through the ups and downs of life and to encourage each other to become more like Jesus and to fulfill the vision and calling upon us all. As part of this covenantal principle, the Partnership approach is to each year invite those who worship with us to intentionally consider the vision and values of the Church and intentionally choose to partner, or not. The February AGM will be a regular point at which this covenant is invited and responded to. The approach to a Partnership model of church family has been developed as a standalone document and may be read separately. This identifies the rhythm of Partnership and principles of engagement. At the February AGM, three particular vision objectives will be confirmed following consultation with the Church Family for the year ahead. The covenant and commitment to Partner with the Church will be based on Partnering to support these vision objectives. The church’s core activities and the three visions items are described below. Prayer Gospel Empower Page 8 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report ## Buttershaw Baptist Church Core Activities In our expression and practice of the commission God sets before us the main activities of the Church and CIO are described earlier. These are our core activities and the outworking of them in particular aspects are as follows: - We are committed to gathering together at Buttershaw Baptist Church, our homes and other locations within the Buttershaw estate - We are committed to support and celebrate outreach events and Christian festivals such as: 1. Christmas events and celebrations 2. Easter Sunday/Maundy Thursday celebrations 3. Holiday Club week (August time) 4. Children and young people (Heroes and young people outreach) 5. Life groups 6. Men/women's outreach and gatherings 7. Weekly Gatherings that include worship, word and prayer, and regular communion 8. Baptism by full immersion. - At Buttershaw Baptist Church we would encourage our partners to make every effort to participate in the three church meetings each year. These generally take place in February (AGM), June and October. - From time to time there may be the need for a “special” church meeting. These are often single agenda items that need to be addressed quickly and can not wait for the next planned meeting. Partners are also encouraged to make every effort to attend the meeting. ## Three Particular VIsion Objectives In 2022 the Particular VIsion Objectives had not previously been established and are being introduced as part of the new approach in 2023. For 2023 the proposed Particular VIsion Objectives to be presented at the February 2023 AGM are: - Reevy Hill School - Cost of living crisis - Family Centre and community Prayer Gospel Empower Page 9 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report ## Heroes Our Heroes children’s work has continued to grow and develop. It is with regret that Hannah Law and Kieran Asher have stepped down from leading this work but this has provided a great opportunity to welcome other people and particularly parents of our children to participate in the provision of our children’s work. Heroes, targets primary aged school children to learn, discover and experience more about our Christian faith. Leadership and vision being provided by Alex Radice and Teresa Walsh. The Heroes programme follows the same themes and teaching which we are sharing within church as we encourage both adults and children to share with each other what they have learnt with each other. The resources we are using come from Gavin’s 10 years of experience in children's work mixed with the vast resources found on RightNow Media which includes songs, stories, teaching and much more. We also are using the opportunity for the young to share within our service what they have been doing and taking every chance we can to celebrate our children and what they have learnt and think about Christian faith. ## Projects There have been various requirements in response to leaks and weather to continue to undertake repairs on the building’s roof. We have had poor service by one of our contractors and have learnt from this engaging with a more reputable contractor. There are two further areas of work to undertake on the building’s roof that are planned for the forthcoming year. We still carry an ambition to improve the kitchen and toilet facilities but these have not been pursued in the year due to financial challenges. In the forthcoming year and aligned with the Family Centre we will be looking to pursue these improvements further. Prayer Gospel Empower Page 10 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report ## Financial summary ## Account changes The bank account used for the Eden Youth Mission has been closed in line with this team ending. In the budget established for 2023 and following review of how finances are managed it has been recognised that some budgets need to be protected, stewarded and managed over multiple years to help fund exceptional requirements. These restricted aspects are most notably for maintenance requirements of the Church building and to the Manse. Two new bank accounts are in the process of being established, these are for the following items: - Youth and community works - remaining funds from the Eden account have been transferred to this account. - Restricted funds maintenance - this fund will be for holding budgeted amounts for specific purposes that have been identified by the Church as needing a specific fund. ## Summary of outgoings and incomings Over the past year with reducing membership and continuing maintenance expenditure on the building and manse has depleted our reserves. The roof repairs in 2022 have required specific expenditure of £6104. There are two further roof repair actions identified to be addressed in 2023. Some money has been donated specifically for addressing these remaining repair works. Reducing giving receipts is adding financial pressure to Church operations and requires ongoing review in 2023 as they are now less than regular outgoings. This is causing the budget to draw on reserves Avenues for financial assistance are being sought along with growth of the church giving receipts. Without this, and with the limited reserves available the financial sustainability of current operations in their current form is unlikely to be viable. However, in faith we are prayerfully pursuing God’s heart for mission in Buttershaw. Specific actions being developed to help address these problems are as follows - Preserving specific budgets by the use of protected reserve accounts - Review of rental income in relation to the Family Centre - Discussions beginning with other partner organisations and home mission request for funding Prayer Gospel Empower Page 11 of 12 Buttershaw Baptist Church 2021 Annual Report For the Buttershaw Baptist Church Accounts; - Total receipts for the year were £50,791 - Total payments for the year were £53,546. For the Eden Buttershaw Account - closed on 22nd September 2022; - Total receipts for the year were £1,027. - Total payments for the year were £4,197. Note, remaining funds amounting to £2,087 transferred to the Youth and Community account. ## Reserves policy The charity's free cash reserves at the year end were £25,743. The Church has a policy to always keep £15,000 in reserve to allow for the charity to be closed down in an orderly fashion if necessary. Unfortunately due to the heating being replaced and many roof repairs we have needed to take £5,000 from our protected reserves to allow us to continue as a functioning and community blessing church. This will come into our general account by the end of January 2023 and will deplete the protected reserves to £10,000.
