Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month as part of the morning service. All age services are specifically aimed to be accessible to children and are popular with all ages. During the other morning services our Children and Young people leave part way through the service for their own groups, with age related activities to help them understand Christian teaching. • Bible study, preaching and teaching oPreaching takes place withinour Sunday services on |
| themes determined by the Minister in conjunction with others. The Pastor is the main preacher but on occasions other speakers are invited to preach and lead at our services giving opportunity for the congregation to hear a wider perspective. There is a weekly Bible Study held every Wednesday at the Church. • nurture and growth of Christian disciples; Education and training for Christian and community service; oAll aspects of Church life aimto help people grow as Christian Disciples, by developing understanding of what it means to be a disciple and promoting opportunities to put faith into action by service to the Church and to the local Community |

the Calvary Baptist Church Spalding
Report of the Independent Examiner(s) to the Trustees of
On the accounts for the year ended
31 December 2020
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.
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. (if accounts prepared on accruals basis*)
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.
Signed by or on behalf of the Examiner
