FAKENHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
The church is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our church family. The Leadership Team maintains an overview of the church fellowship pastorally and the business side of the building and assets ensuring that we are available both spiritually and pastorally to the community of Fakenham and its surrounding villages. Each member of the Leadership Team has responsibilities for various aspects of church life, such as Prayer Ministry, Pastoral, Community, Administration and Finance and Life Groups.
Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and preaching the word of God. We plan our activities to try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through:
-
Worship, prayer, learning about the Gospel, and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
Seeking to provide pastoral care for those both attending the church activities, and the wider community.
-
Missionary and outreach work,
-
Focused youth and children’s activities
-
Regular meeting facilities for our older generation
Achievements and Performance:
We have continued in 2020 to be without a minister however have been served well by both in-house speakers as well as visiting speakers during this time.
We continue to be supported as a leadership and as a church by our moderator, Jonathan Squirrell and he has continued to provide us with good spiritual insight and direction.
Services during Covid 19 pandemic : At the beginning of March 2020 Church services were suspended across the country. During the Covid 19 pandemic our Sunday church services have continued by Zoom with breakout rooms before and after the service, prayer rooms and a full service. The Leadership team catch up each week with each individual member either via Zoom lifegroups or telephone conversations to offer help and fellowship during these times. We have a dedicated church mobile where members can send messages for prayer or comfort which is then passed across the membership.
During the beginning of 2020 until the suspension due to Covid we had continued to meet for our Sunday services mainly at the Fakenham Community Centre as well as using the Salvation Army Headquarters Hall and even used the Village Hall in Little Walsingham. Once fellowship together can resume we look forward to meeting again.
Sunday Morning Services : this is a service of praise and worship and teaching where the whole church family can gather together in one place, during this gathering we offer Sunday Club activities for the toddlers to age 11, an older young person’s Bible Study Group, and a place where we offer Prayer Ministry to those who would like to receive it. During 2020 as part of our Sunday services a ‘Stay and Play’ group had been running, where families can meet within the church environment, stay for coffee and chat with facilities for children to play separately from the church service. This has proved very popular and a way of bringing new families to FBCC. We hold special services during the year for events such as Easter, Christmas, Remembrance, Harvest and each year in January we hold a service of re-commitment called a Covenant Service. (Suspended in 2020 due to Covid restrictions and conducted over zoom each week)
Life Groups: small Bible study groups held at people’s homes in Fakenham and in various villages in the surrounding areas to meet together and study the Bible and pray together(these have continued with weekly zoom meetings). The leadership continue to keep in touch with all church members either by zoom or a weekly phone call, offering fellowship and help wherever needed.

FAKENHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
Little Fishes: this is a toddler group for pre-school children and their parents. This is a safe environment where children are provided various activities to engage with and parents have an opportunity to meet up, have a drink and socialise together, and sometimes just ‘take a breath’ ( Suspended in 2020 due to Covid restrictions)
CAMEO: (Come and Meet Each Other): this is a mid-week afternoon meeting aimed at those over 50. Meetings include songs/singing, Biblical teaching by various guest speakers and refreshments. They hold regular lunch gatherings and they also arrange various trips around Norfolk or further afield. (Suspended in 2020 due to Covid restrictions)
Corporate Prayer & Prayer & Prophetic prayer meetings : once a month meetings for church members and prayer teams to meet corporately . (Suspended in 2020 due to Covid restrictions) The Prayer & Prophetic group meet via zoom for prayer and encouragement.
Church in the Community: Fakenham is a market town and as such every Thursday the town centre is closed to traffic and a weekly market is held. The Church has a stall as often as possible within this market. We offer prayer and Bible readings to anyone who wants it. We talk to everyone including the other stall holders and we have various members of the church willing to be part of that team each week. These have continued whenever possible under Covid regulations .
Although our CAP (Christians Against Poverty) Debt Centre closed in 2018, we do however continue to be partnered with CAP and are seeking to continue running CAP Money Coaches through our trained coaches, David Mills and Louise Rafferty, where they can offer courses on the management of money and provide the skills to budget, save and spend, hopefully to prevent people entering into debt.
Property:
Clipbush Lane – Land – Owned by Fakenham Developments Limited (FDL):
On March 24[th] 2019, AC Bacon was appointed by FDL as lead contractor for the building of the new church premises. Ground was broken on Wednesday 12[th] June 2019.
2020 saw some disruption to our Building Project, however much progress has been achieved.
Energy calculations were made providing SBEM and ‘U’ values.
In spite of the lockdown ‘our contractor completed all the work on the external walls, roof, main internal partition, gutters, and downpipes and window openings.
They also fitted 5 out of the 6 emergency exit doors. The exit door from the mezzanine level will be fitted when the mezzanine floor is laid.
The sub-contractor completed all the foundations and laid the slab including ducts and pipes. They also dug the baptistery with supporting walls including a chamber outside for water drainage.
In July/August the windows were made and fitted. The mastics were completed outside and inside.
Our Architect has updated the building drawings and has applied for the Services to be connected to the site
A specialist company spent three days from 25th September digging deep holes on the Clipbush site measuring the rate of drainage. Two of the three tests were draining at a successful rate. These results were then analysed the results and designed soakaways for our site.
Our sub-contractor planned to put in the soakaways in November but due to the lockdown had to postpone their arrival until the New Year.Work began early January 2021 on digging the trenches in which to lay the pipes for the downpipes to the soakaways, which are huge!

FAKENHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
On 17th December we met with some representatives from a local Building firm, including their managing director. I explained that we were looking to do the internal work in stages and asked if they would quote in this way. They said they were interested in working on our project. However they usually work on a whole project using their builders, electricians and plumbers etc. In other word a “Turnkey “project. They the next day explaining what information they would need in order to take on our project and sent me a list of 30 questions.It included paint colours, floor coverings and toilet furniture! After some discussion we realised that we are not in a position to pay for a “Turnkey “project. They were very helpful and have given us some very helpful guidance. We will have to do each stage as we can afford it.
In the summer of 2020 letters and leaflets were sent out to various grant organisations nationwide requesting help by donations to help us achieve our goal of the final build. Many organisations have suspended donations due to Covid 19 but to-date we have received donations of £1000. Requests for donations will continue to be sent out in 2021.
Priorities to be achieved in 2021:
Remove Spoil Internal walls and ceilings where necessary Electrical Contractor Heating/Cooling system BT connection Toilets Kitchen Coffee area Main staircase and Escape stairs Lighting Lift Fundraising Main door

Our volunteer teams continue to attend courses (usually hosted by third parties) as required/requested/needed in areas such as: Parenting/Child Protection/New Mums Support/Children with Special Additional needs/Safeguarding and First Aid

FAKENHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
we play an active part within that meeting. Many of these events have been suspended due to Covid, but we look forward to the time we can all meet together again.
Suspended Activities:
There are some things, although not many, that due to not being in permanent premises which still remain suspended for the time being, but we have a view to bring back in the future. These include:
-
Coffee mornings: A weekly opening of our facilities to host a gathering where people can come together to relax and socialize.
-
Chill Zone: Our teenage youth group that previously met on a Friday evening offer a safe venue for pool/table tennis/video gaming/indoor sports/games etc.
-
Family Fun Day: An event which we had run annually during June/July in the local park for several years, offering free activities to the Community. With a lack of permanent premises, it has not been viable to organise, but it is something we would seek to do again as soon as we are able.
Volunteers
Our church continues to be blessed to have many volunteers without whom we simply could not manage to do all that we do. As a diverse community of God’s people, we range in ages from 5 years old to way into the mid 90’s.
Our volunteers carry out a wide and diverse range of activities, including speaking, life group leading, worship leading and worship team, sound and media teams, CAP money coaches and support team, Sunday club leaders and helpers, ‘Stay and Play’ crèche leaders and helpers, prayer ministry teams, CAMEO leaders, finance and administration, Thursday market stall team, refreshments team, Sunday set-up team.
What we do as an expression of God’s love in Fakenham could not be done without each every one of our volunteers. THANK YOU ALL .

We continue in a period of interregnum, and whilst we are without a minister, we continue to enjoy the support and counsel of Rev Jonathan Squirrell as our moderator during this period.

FAKENHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2020
CIO Transition:
Following the members vote for transition to CIO earlier in 2019, work continued working with our legal team and the Baptist Union and Charities Commission to achieve the transition. Agreement has been granted from the Charities Commission and CIO status was achieved on 1[st] May 2020. By changing to a CIO this will provide added protection to both members of the Leadership team and members of the church. The transition to CIO was completed and from 1[st] May 2020 Fakenham Baptist Community Church has become a CIO with a new charity number 1186184. A vote (via zoom) and voting forms to close the old charity was completed in November 2020 and working with the legal team this should be achieved on early 2021.
The Future:
The commencement of the building work in 2019 is a massive step forward for the church and we are excited that this has been achieved. We still have a way to go in raising the remaining funds to complete the fit-out once the main construction is complete, but we believe in a God who can do immeasurably more that we can ever ask, and we are confident that as He has brought us this far he has a plan for us in these matters.
The Church remains a fellowship of people faithfully seeking God’s will in all that we do. As such we are constantly listening to what God would have us do. This includes every facet of our church
We know that God continues to answer our prayers in practical matters.
We have been encouraged and blessed by the new people we are seeing join us for our Sunday services, including ‘Stay and Play’, and we continue to receive a number of encouraging feedbacks from people attending our services whether members or visitors.
We continue to be supported by a great group of volunteers, we are still excited for what faces Fakenham Baptist Community Church in the new challenges ahead, and we believe we are the church family are ready to continue making a difference in our communities in a relevant and meaningful way which demonstrates God’s love for mankind.
Although the Covid 19 pandemic affected our ability to meet as one, Sunday services have continued via zoom each Sunday, with Communion, fellowship and testimonies. Church members are contacted each week, either by telephone conversations or Zoom Lifegroups. We have a dedicated church mobile were messages of prayer and support can be posted and shared by text.
