## **Epsom Baptist Church CIO Trustees' Annual Report for 2020** Epsom Baptist Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission (1173824) on 14[th] July 2017. Epsom Baptist Church CIO is also known as Epsom Church. The purpose of Epsom Baptist Church CIO is the advancement of the Christian Faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. In addition the church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. The Trustees in post during 2020 were: Mike Thornton (Minister and Chair), Ian Evans (Church Secretary), David Waddell (Church Treasurer), Stewart Bowman, Wendy Gonzalez Criollo (as of AGM), Gary Hadley, Sheila Gillmore (until AGM), Michael Oggudah, Mike Parker and Laura Taylor. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the finances and property owned by Epsom Baptist Church CIO. The governance document requires there to be at least four Ordinary Church Members' Meetings per year, one incorporating the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Unfortunately, over the course of 2020 we were unable to hold four Ordinary Church Members' Meetings due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Just prior to the initial lockdown in March we held an Ordinary Church Members’ Meeting on 16[th] March, this meeting was not quorate as insufficient number of members were present. We held our AGM via Zoom video conference on 23[rd] November with voting taken using SurveyMonkey. At the AGM Sheila Gillmore stood down as she has moved to another area. Gary Hadley and Mike Parker were re-elected as Trustees. We were unable to run any of our programmes this year. Since March our services have been held online via YouTube. A few live services were held in the church building when permitted in October. These were done with social distancing measures in place in line with government guidance. During the year seven people left membership and sadly one of our members died. A review of the membership list identified an error and, following correction, the total membership at the end of 2020 is now 80. In addition to supporting partners through the Baptist Missionary Service World Mission and the Baptist Union Home Mission Fund, we provided support for the work of Vision Peoples in Mission UK Trust (registered charity number 1113819) helping Kenyans who are disadvantaged and poverty stricken by meeting their practical, medical and spiritual needs. We also supported the work of Dnipro Hope Mission (registered charity number 1177504) in Ukraine, International Needs (registered charity 1175526), Open Doors (registered charity 1125684) and Spinnaker Trust (registered charity 1111351). Most of our income is through regular giving of Members; this is augmented by rental income through letting the manse and through hiring out of the church hall and car park. The church currently supports one Minister in Training and employs three part time members of staff. In the opinion of the Trustees the church is financially sound and has adequate resources to finance its operations for the foreseeable future. There were no serious incidents during 2020 that should have been reported to the Commission. Ian Evans Church Secretary ….................................
