WILLESBOROUGH BAPTIST CHURCH, Hythe Rd, Willesborough, Ashford, Kent. TN24 0QR Registered Charity Number: 1173803

GOVERNING DOCUMENT

Aims and Purposes

Willesborough Baptist Church (WBC) is a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by an Approved Governing Document which states that the principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Church shall determine.

The Church occupies premises which are held by the Baptist Union Corporation Ltd on Trust which are entirely compatible with the above objective.

Objectives and Activities

Our aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord. We are passionate worshippers of God who love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We are committed to His teaching and way of life and seeing new believers come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

The Church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the community generally. All these activities are advertised on the Church’s website. www.willesboroughbaptist.church

Church Services

Central to the work and witness of the Church is the provision of regular public services of Christian worship. Our main services take place each Sunday at 10.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. There are also occasional services at other times which are advertised in the church weekly update, the church website at www.willesboroughbaptist.church and

https://www.facebook.com/groups/wbcashford. We also continue to broadcast services at 10:30 via Livestream on our YouTube channel willesborough baptist church ashford - YouTube and Facebook for people who are unable to attend in person for any reason, including because of COVID or the need to shield, and to widen our audience.

There is a full children’s programme during the morning service offering accessible and fun teaching for children of all ages. The Church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community, and anyone is free to attend any of these services. We have seen several new people connecting in with our online services over the last year.

Prayer remains a high priority for the church and there are several opportunities outside of the normal church services to pray with each other.

Early morning prayer at 6.30 a.m. via Zoom every Thursday. Morning Prayers via Facebook each weekday morning at 08.00 a.m. Twice-monthly corporate prayer at the church. Frequent social media posts sharing testimony, inspirational thoughts, and general encouragement.

We regularly hold a meal for newcomers to welcome them into the church family.

Community Outreach

The church hosted Family, Food & Fun https://www.facebook.com/familyfoodfunashford during school holidays where one day in the week we provided a meal and fun activities for families in the community.

Bumps to Babies – In May 2021 we started a new group for new and expectant mums in the community and this meets every Tuesday morning between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. offering the opportunity for refreshments and to develop new relationships.

The Well – is our community café and continued to open 3 times per week for drinks and cake on a pay as you feel basis. In July 2021 we launched Renew Wellbeing, a place people can come, where it is OK to not be OK, specifically for people who felt this way. It is available every Tuesday afternoon between 2.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m.

We also continued to provide meals for those in need in the community as and when requested. We also provided half-term lockdown hampers and support for the families affected by the explosion in Willesborough.

The church supplied hand-made advent calendars and provided gifts for children in families in the community who would otherwise have had little in the way of Christmas presents.

Young people aged 11-17 years meet on a Friday evening at the church where they can make friends have fun and learn about the Christian faith.

We also hold quiz nights and Men’s Breakfast events and encourage members of our church family to invite their friends and families.

We hold a fortnightly Art Group to encourage and teach drawing and painting skills.

We held an Art Exhibition in aid of the Pilgrims Hospice and Demelza Hospice during the year.

We support our local Nepalese church by allowing them access a couple of times a week to the church and its facilities so that they can hold services, pray, and worship on our premises.

We let space for meetings to other organisations when we are able, and the local Councillors hold their surgeries in The Well on a Saturday morning.

We continued to open our Stepping Stones Contact Centre - to enable separated parents to see their children in a safe, non-threatening environment fortnightly

on a Saturday morning. (This was able to continue in a COVID compliant way within government guidelines).

Teaching

We continued our objectives of regular Bible teaching, encouraging spiritual growth, pastoral care, and community involvement in many different areas.

We continued developing our discipleship groups encouraging people to join a small group to meet and discuss scripture and apply it to their lives.

We held Exploring Baptism courses online and saw 8 people being baptized this year.

Pre-school

The Church has a thriving work amongst children with an Ofsted-registered and inspected Pre-School four days a week from 8.30 a.m.to 4.30 p.m. (A registered Charity as 1175202 - Willesborough Baptist Church Pre–School). The current Ofsted rating is good. The Pre-School employs 11 staff.

The church recognizes its responsibilities in safeguarding all children, young people and adults at risk and has safeguarding policies and procedures in place. The church has adopted the ‘Safe to Grow’ guidelines produced by the Baptist Union and ensures that all those working with children and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted through the Disclosure and Barring Service.

Our Church is satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public regarding the new Charity Commission guidance.

Achievements and Performance

The Church does not measure the success of its programmes only in numbers, including financial numbers, but also in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2021 was another very positive year in the life of the Church. This, despite the continuing constraints imposed upon us because of COVID and the consequential additional challenges on the church resources, both human and financial.

As predicted last year, we are pleased to report that we have been able to pursue our mission purposes in 2021 with renewed enthusiasm and a greater appreciation of our calling as we lived out our Vision.

As of 31st December 2021, the membership stood at 156

Local and County Councilors are enthusiastic about the positive part that the Church has played, and continues to play, in the life of the community of Willesborough and are also willing to provide assistance and enablement in the

Church’s work and ministry. Members of the church also serve as volunteers in other local charities.

We recruited a second Pastor in August to support our growing church family and purchased a second manse to accommodate her.

Organisational Structure and Decision-making Processes

Members of the Church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution which states that the Church has open membership so that both persons who have been baptised in the manner described in the Baptist Union’s Declaration of Principle and those who have not been so baptised may, at the discretion of the Church Members’ Meeting, be accepted for full membership.

The Members’ Meeting normally takes place three times per year and has responsibility for the overall policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint Trustees who are responsible for the day-today running of the Church’s work and witness and the financial and legal aspects of the charity. All Members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objective.

Relevant matters may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustees for guidance or may be raised by Members attending the Church Meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. Although the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church Meetings by appropriate majorities, the Church seeks to work by consensus wherever possible.

The addition of Katie James as our second Pastor increased the number of the Trustees to 7.

Financial Review

The Church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. No wider public appeal was made for funds during the year.

The Church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making grants to national and international Christian organisations and societies with Christian aims and objectives compatible with the Church’s own charitable purpose.

The Church is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the Church’s activities, many of which run with little or no impact on the Church’s expenditure but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of the Church’s objectives.

The financial results for the year are set out in the accompanying financial statement.

The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy and are satisfied that they have sufficient reserves at the Balance Sheet date, together with ongoing income anticipated, to enable the Church to function effectively in the coming year.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks facing the Church and are satisfied that there are policies in place to minimise these risks.

The Trustees confirm that they have regard to the Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

Report of the Independent Examiner(s) to the Trustees of Willesborough Baptist Church Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1173803 On the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Church’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church 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 the 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

• the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
