Main Activitias, Achievamènts and Pèrformanco
DLJring the year the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit in managing
the activities of the charity.
2024 was another year of consolidation and growlh, with many blessings from God. Our Pastor's New Year
message was lo cultivate a heart of thankfulness that ovefflow5 into our worship, prayer and servi￿. based on
Colossians 3..15 And be thankful. Looking back over the events of last year, we have so much to be thankful to
God for.
Th8re w8rg ning now members welcomed in during the year, with ttvo d8aths and one person transferring their
membership, giving a nett increase of six lo eighty two in membership al year end. There continued lo be increased
levels of attendance during the year, particularly at rnoming services, including young adults and families with
young children. We were privileged to witness three baptisms in June, all young adults, when a good number of
friends and family of the candidates heard leslimonies of God working in their lives and the gospel preached.
We continued to be blessed by God financially. Due to the generosity of His people, our general giving for the year
to 31 st December 2024 increased over that for the previous year. With the substantial legacy received al the end of
2023, the church is in a very sound position financially. 20Ql¢ of the legacy was sel aside for the Mission Fund in
aGcordanGe with our policy on mission giving, some will be sel aside for the church plant in Blandford Sl Mary, and
we continue to seek the Lord for wisdom and guidan￿ for the balan￿. Additionally, total payments of £1,579 were
paid to those in specific need from the Pastoral Hardship Fund during the year.
In August one of our supported mission workers relired and another left their ministry for secular employment, so
the Mission Council selected two addilional couples for lh& church to supporl both financially and prayerfully from
September. One family are serving in Japan and the olhei couple in Madagascai. Thus we have been able lo
continue to SUPFX)rt seven sets of missionaries. including one family as Iheir'sending church" and the others as a
"supporting church" Four families and two couples are now based overseas, whilst one individual is based in the
UK. The level of financial support was maintained at the same rates as 2023, and a personal Christmas gift
was made lo all our missionaries. In addition. total payments of £15,922 were made in the year lo wver
wnissionaries, expenses or to other mission organisalions. Further payments of £7,861 were made lo the village
dwelling fund for our sent family during the year. The balance in the Mission Fund al year end stood at £35,513.
Other payments to mission organisations were made by the Ladies. Fellowship.
During the year, we were able lo have fellowship with five sets of our supported missionaries either in person or by
Z(K)m and video link, mainly during our"More on Mission weeks in April and November. which Con￿￿trated on our
own missionaries and their organisations. The theme in November was'suffering for the gospel. from 2 Timothy

BROADSTONE BAPTIST CHURCH

continued
The regular preaching ministry of the Church continued to be gospel-based, and both encouraging and challènging.
A series from Habakkuk was followed by another enlilled "Praying lor our church" The other main series during the
year was "Guarding the deposlt" from 1 Timothy. and there was also a short serie5 from Ruth. During Sunday
evenings"God's Big Picture" was shown, a Bible overview course in nine videos, which led to some lively
discussions. The majority of the preaching was carried out by the Pastor and Assistant Pastor, but we are also
privileged to be blessed with a good number of those in our f&llowship or Connected to the Church who are able to
faithfully minisl&r God's Word to supplement this.
In January we held our annual Week of Prayer, praying al different limes each day for our many different Church
activities. This included a Day of Prayer on the Tuesday, when people signed up on a prayer clock to pray in 15
minute slols from 7.00 am lo 7.00 pm, after which we mel together lo share around the Lord's Table. The initiative
of the Elders to pledge to pray between us for all those within our fellowship every week was faithfully continued
and has been a source of much blessing, not just to those who have requested prayer bul also to the Elders. We
are privileged to have been able to lift the needs of so many lo the Lord, giving thanks to Him that so rnany
requests have been answered. The church was mLJch in prayer during the year about a potential church plant tr>
Blandford Sl Mary. With a number of other ¢hur¢hes interested in supporting the vision. doors opening and prayers
being answered, il was unanimously agreed at the Ghurch members, meeting in Seplernber that we would actlvely
pursue the church plant, releasing our Assistant Pastor to spend time and resources on it.
We again hosted the FIEC local conference in March, and six delegates were able to attend the FIEC Annual
Conference in Blackpool in November. We were pleased lo continue fellowship with Grace Church, who now meet
in Central Hall. Corfe Mullen, occasionally meeting with them forjoinl prayer meetings. Our mid-week Tuesday
evenings of allemale Prayer Meetings and Home Groups continued. Men's and Ladies, breakfasts l(x)k place on
alternate rnonths, and the Men's Ministry was re-started by looking at"Disciplines of a Godly Man The Ladies,
Fellowship conlinued to meet each week with a wide range of speakers both from the church and outside, usually
from various mission organisations. We sought lo ￿a¢h out into the ¢ommunily more. which included Lunch Bunch
for Seniors,. taking monthly Sunday servi￿5 at The Potteries Care Home., Defibrillator training,. visits to Broad5tone
First and Middle Schools,. and Christmas activities. The collection of food and other items for Faithworks Wirnbome
FcK)dbank continued, and dDnations of Christmas shoeboxes for the House of Opportunity in Easlem Europe were
again made.
Our Assistant Pastor successfully completed his third year studies al Crosslands and in September started a one
year Master's degree, in addition to his Church duties. During February half term, he and a team of helpers ran a
Holiday Bible Club whose theme was "Deep Sea Divers for Reception to Year 4 children. This was well att&nd8d
by both Church families and non-church children, and hsd s very g¢x)d number of helpers from the fellowship. He
again assisted in leading a children's camp in Sherborne in the surllmer with four participants from the Church. In
July, we appointed for ihe firsl time a further full-time staff member as Trainee Youth and Children's Worker, wkj
started training at Lansdowne Church's School for Discipleship in Septèmber. She look over leadership of SLJnday
School and BBC Kids on Fridays after school, and organised a light party for 31st October.
Our Christmas activities also sought to reach out into the Cornmunity, and included a gingerbread house evening,
carol singing on the Broadway and in Costa, an all-age Christmas celebration and carols by candlelight as well as
OLJr short Christmas Day celebration servi￿. Inviiation cards were printed and distributed locally 2nd to friends,
contsining d&tsils of the èvents with a gospel message on the back. We also enjoy&d a Christmas Celebration
fellowship meal at a local hotel, which was well attended and has been booked again for next year.

In summary, 2024 was a year in which we could give thanks to God, particularly for more ways of reaching out with
the gospel to the local community, and for the wide-ranging activities for members to be involved in and be
discipled by. With God's grace we have achieved much in Ihe strength Ihal only He can provide. We remain
extremely grateful lo God for His provision lo us in so many way5, particularly financially. and we look lo Him for
spiritual growth as we continue lo step out in faith with new opportunities for ministry, including the church plant.
We have much to look forward to for 2025 as we remain true to His calling.
Policy on Reserves
The Trustees will consider the level of reserves that is prudent for the Church to have when agreeing the annual
budget. This has been revised during this financial year and is currenuy sel al £35,000 for the general fund.
Consideration will be given lo future strategy, potential redundancy liabilities, and any other significant factors that
should be taken into account were the Church to close or move lo new premises.
The charitys current reserves position is as follows..
The total funds held by the charity al 31 De￿mber 2024 are £2,240,978 (2023 £2,266,033)
The totsl funds includes £43,503 in restricted funds12023- £50,936)
Within the lolal funds there 15 £1,994,76512023 £1,991,765) which could only be realised by selling the fixed
assets held by the charity.
Two reslricled funds are held by the church in relation lo donations for missionary work, one for donations lo any of
our missionaries and another one to support the family to which we are the "sending church" These funds are held
in the genèr81 account and any specific donalions are passed onto the beneficiaries within one month I three
months of receipt respectively. This payment is rnade along wrf(h any gift aid money attached to that donation and a
gift aid claim is made as Soon as the income is received.
A restricted fund is also held for those in need of urgent financial assistan￿ in the fellowship or connected lo it.
These funds are held in the general accDunl.
A new reslricled fund has been sel up during the year lor those wishing lo support Ihe worf( of the new church plant
which is due to go ahead in September 2025. These funds are also held in the general a¢¢ount.
Golng Concern
Al the lime of approving the financial stslements the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the support of the
Church's bankers and Church congregation will ensure that the Church has adequate resource to Continue in
operab.onal existence for the foieseeable future.
