## Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Pastor’s Annual General Meeting Report (Revd Richard Asante) 26th November 2025** 

## **Introduction** 

This report reflects on the life and ministry of Surbiton New Life Baptist Church over the past year. We give thanks to God for His faithfulness, His provision, and the steady growth we have witnessed both spiritually and numerically. We have experienced His grace in our worship, discipleship, outreach, and community engagement. While we celebrate what God has done, we also acknowledge areas where we need to grow, especially in volunteer commitment, financial support, and leadership development. 

As we look ahead, may we remain inspired by what God is doing among us and continue to commit ourselves wholeheartedly to His purpose and vision for this church. 

## **1. Spiritual Overview** 

## **Theme for the Year** : God’s Kingdom 

**Key Scripture** : Zechariah 14:9 

**Vision Statement** : "Seeking to restore our sense of divine identity, heritage, purpose, potential and destiny." 

## **Teaching Focus** 

The year’s teaching was structured around quarterly themes: 

- **1st Quarter** : Divine Identity 

- **2nd Quarter** : Our Heritage and Purpose 

- **3rd Quarter** : Our Potential and Destiny 

These themes have helped to establish a clearer spiritual foundation and understanding of our identity in Christ. 

## **Discipleship and Growth** 

- One person has completed baptismal classes and we await a confirmed baptism date. 

- We continue to follow up with visitors, some of whom are now regular attendees and exploring membership. 

- Regular engagement continues through Bible studies, Junior Church, the 316 Youth Group, and Home Group. 

## **Encouraging Signs** 

- The congregation has demonstrated consistent spiritual growth and commitment to prayer, worship, and learning. 

- Our youth have been particularly encouraging, with some completing the Freedom in Christ course and the soon-to-be 316 Youth actively participating in Bible studies and learning new songs/hymns to minister during family services with Minister Isaac and the Music Team. 

## **Challenges** 

- Although volunteers have stepped forward, many ministries remain understaffed, limiting growth and outreach potential. 

- We remember with gratitude the legacy of our late sister Marion, whose commitment to The Well, Junior Church, and the Hospitality Team continues to inspire ongoing service in these areas.

## **Ministry Highlights**

## **Leadership Update**

## **Appreciation** 

I express deep gratitude to our deacons: 

- **Julian Orton** - Worship Team and Audio-Visual 

- **John Waters** - Maintenance, 316, Tots & Carers, Interim Secretary, The Well 

- **Valerie Bagley** -  Pastoral Care, Home Group Leader, The Well

SURBITON NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH 

## Report of the Trustees 

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

- Other policies are under review and will be updated in due course. 

## **4. Testimonies and Signs of Impact** 

- Increased attendance and spiritual hunger in our services. 

- Growing influence of The Well in the local community. 

- Encouraging engagement from youth and younger adults. 

These are clear signs that God is at work among us. 

## **5. Challenges and Lessons** 

Despite the progress, some challenges remain: 

- **Volunteer Shortages** : Several ministries need more hands and hearts. 

- **Financial giving** : Donations have been low, which affects future plans including the potential employment of a paid administrator and yo uth worker. 

- **Leadership Development** : We need to raise and equip more leaders for long-term sustainability. 

These challenges remind us that church is a shared responsibility. Growth requires collective commitment. 

## **6. Vision for 2026** 

**Theme** : The Church on Mission (Acts 1:8) Vision Statement: “Empowered by the Spirit, we are a church that goes, serves, gives, and transforms our community and the world.” 

## **Strategic Focus** : 

- **1. Spirit-Empowered Living** - Moving from knowledge to Spirit-led action. 

- **2. Active Witnessing** - Sharing the Gospel daily and boldly. 

- **3. Compassion and Service** - Demonstrating Christ’s love through practical care. 

- **4. Local and Global Mission** - Strengthening support for outreach and mission work. 

## **Call to Action** 

As we move forward into a new year, I encourage every member and regular attender to prayerfully reflect on three key areas: 

- **1. Serve** : Where can you actively volunteer or support a ministry? 

- **2. Support** : How can you strengthen the work through faithful financial, intellectual, physical, etc giving? 

- **3. Share** : Who can you intentionally reach with the love and message of Christ? 

This is not just the leadership’s vision, but it is God’s mission for us all. Every gift, every prayer, and every act of service matters

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SURBITON NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of SURBITON NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of SURBITON NEW LIFE BAPTIST CHURCH (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

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