HADDENHAM BAPTIST CHURCH - ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022 Charity Number 1191081

Registered Address – Haddenham Baptist Church, Station Road, Haddenham. Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB63XD

Trustees: - Mr. T.O. Parsons (Minister) Mr. G. Wilson (Treasurer) Mrs. A. Thorpe (Trustee) Mrs. D. Hatley (Trustee)

Church Property Trustees – The Baptist Union Corporation Ltd., Baptist House, 129 Broadway, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 8RT.

Bankers – Lloyds Bank, ELY, Cambs.

Independent Examiner – Olivia Martha How FCA.

The Trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for the year 2022.

Haddenham Baptist Church registered as a Charity on the 2[nd of] September 2020 and is governed by an Approved Governing Document. Members of the church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution.

Governing principles.

The Members’ Meeting normally takes place 5 or 6 times a year and has responsibility for the overall direction of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint the Trustees, who together with the Minister, Church Secretary and Treasurer (who are also appointed by the members), are responsible for the day to day running of the church’s work and witness, and the financial and legal aspects of the charity.(For the year 2022 the church no longer has a separate Church Secretary, the minister is covering this role)

All members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objective. Though the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church Meetings by appropriate majorities, the Church seeks to work by consensus wherever possible.

The principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Church shall determine.

In order to achieve the principal objective, which is set out above, the Church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed, and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord. Central to the work and witness of the Church is the provision of regular weekly public services of Christian witness. These services take place each Sunday at 10.30am. There are also regular services at other times which are advertised on the Church Notice Board and the Church website. Prayer ministry, alongside reaching out to the local community, is considered an important aspect for the life and witness of the Church.

The Church operates safeguarding principles to ensure that all people working with children and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted with regard to the Disclosure and Barring Service.

1

A Property Risk Assessment is regularly reviewed, and all risks are considered, and systems set up to mitigate them.

The Church has read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and is satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public.

Overview HBC 2022

The Lord is good and continues to support His church, we have seen this particularly in His financial blessing of the church but also in the arrival of some new people within our Sunday services. In the second quarter it was wonderful to see another person baptised which hopefully may lead onto membership.

Ministry

The minister completed his academic training-Hons. degree at Spurgeon’s college mid 2022 and over a three-year period is completing his NAM studies. At the end of 2023 year two will have been completed. The minister is supported by four external preachers that tend to cover holiday periods and allowed Sunday absences from church as per his contract of employment. The preaching plan for 2022 was varied and more often than not was focussed on the congregations needs as opposed to a set pattern covering OT and NT readings. At the end of 2021, the long serving church secretary stepped down, which has meant that most of his responsibilities have transferred to the minister, although the running of the external users of the church remains with them for now. Holding this role is not ideal and so we remain reliant on God to bring forth those with servant hearts and skills for the future.

Through 2022 the church leadership consisted as the minister, church treasurer and two deacons. We hope that this may increase in 2023.All deacon’s meetings and ordinary church members meetings were held regularly through the year as per the church schedule. Pastoral visits mainly fall to the minister to conduct, which although is time consuming, it provides opportunities for him to bond and connect with the community and fellowship.

Church membership has increased slightly to 22. One church member bringing it to a count of 23 will need to be removed in 2023 as they have moved to Derbyshire. Sadly, through deaths and those moving away we have lost six members over the last three years but gained eight in becoming members. Those lost to the church membership were mostly age-related losses and so were inevitable in the short-medium term.

The positive side being that all the new members are somewhat younger, on average in the 30-60 age range which should they wish, may contribute to many years of fellowship and service to the life of the church going forward. On top of the new church members, we have seen between 4-6 new attendees come on a regular basis which is encouraging. Overall, as minister I am happy with the services, though these will become more structured going forward within a preaching plan. The café style church service remains our most popular with between 30-40 attendees which is held on the first Sunday of the month. Communion being the second Sunday of each month. Bible study groups have been very encouraging and continue to be a source of inspiration and fellowship. The men’s Bible study group stopped in 2022, this proved difficult to attain regular attendance as two thirds of those attending were working full time and found it difficult to commit an evening. We hope to re-birth this in 2023 perhaps online.

External user groups have returned to use the church building following the worst of Covid being at bay, at least for now, however the local scouts are still seeking a leader and are yet to return. The social handcraft group again seems popular with between 4-9 ladies coming weekly on a Tuesday evening with over forty registered.

Jelly Tots fluctuated with 4-6 mums on average with their children, but this remains a space to develop relationships with local parents.

Easter and Christmas ecumenical services were well attended across the three churches. The Baptist church continued to reach out to a variety of households both in its Easter egg deliveries and Christmas hampers which proved very worthwhile.

It was difficult to develop a strategy for missional work through 2022 with what is still a small fellowship. However, the local warm hub that was set up in the village over the winter period situated at the local social club, was supported by a number of the church fellowship. As a means to help bridge the gap between the church and the community as of mid-2021 we have a counsellor that works out of the church which is in consultation with the wider community. She has already drawn alongside a number of the church fellowship to help them and shares the church office with the minister. In 2021 the completion of the purchase of a second property, owned by the church, was made in order to support the expenditure of having a full-time minister and in 2022 both the manse and second property had sitting tenants. Accounts are soon to be sent to the charity commission which shows that as an independent Baptist church sitting within the Eastern Baptist region, we are in a healthy position financially.

Work continues on the maintenance of the church, to include a risk assessment report of the building that we are in the process of working through.

All electrical work conducted was carried out on a priority basis, we are now into planned maintenance mode compared to having to be reactive. All fire extinguishers were fully serviced, and the church insurance policy is in place in 2022.

Praise the Lord, a new couple have joined us from another church in 2022 we prove an inspiration to this fellowship. This has led to the appointment of a Health & Safety Officer and Director of a Local Food bank that covers the Haddenham offering.

Though still regarded as a small fellowship, as it’s minister, I consider this to be a friendly and welcoming community. The challenge for the church, now it is financially stable, is to grow and immerse itself in surrounding village life. Through no fault of its own, its dependable fellowship down through the years, within what I would term a typical rural church setting, has found many of its elderly members unable to get actively involved with missional work outside the church. This is also coupled with the demands upon the younger generation within family life and careers that put a limit to personal commitment to voluntary work of a missionary nature.

We are therefore fully reliant on God to provide new people to help build the church so that we may reach out in the name of Christ Jesus in order that their lives may be changed.

Wider Mission-

HBC Community Fund

The HBC Community Fund supported three individuals between January 22 and January 23.

In June 2022 we gifted £200 to a lady in the village whose father had passed away in India and she needed to travel there with her family to attend the funeral.

In December 2022 we gifted £500 to a young single parent in the village who was struggling to pay her bills and pay for Christmas gifts. We also gifted £200 to a single lady who lives and works in the village who had money taken from her bank account by fraudsters and was struggling to pay her rent and bills. We gifted a further £200 to the lady who we helped back in June to help with Christmas expenses for the family.

We discussed two other individuals who were signposted and supported by the foodbank and Citizen’s Advice as a more appropriate source of support.

At our recent meeting held on 24[th] April we proposed a gift of £250 for a lady living in the village who has undergone surgery to remove a brain tumour. This is to help with travel and living expenses for the lady and her daughter who is caring for her. We are currently waiting for approval from the diaconate.

The HBC Community Fund will hold their next meeting in July this year and welcome any proposals that church members wish to bring forward over the coming year.

Camping Close Service

This has been quite a difficult year for this ecumenical gathering. Post Covid some people have continued to feel reluctant to gather together and numbers have been very small. We have still found a blessing from our time together worshiping and praising our Lord. Recorded or downloaded music is used for our hymns and this has not been without hitches e.g., when the

Those who come along seem to enjoy our time together and the leaders of the three village churches are very supportive, each leading at least one service throughout the year. Myself, Betty (Methodist) and David (Anglican), share the other services between us. Those who attend take part in the services by reading from the bible and joining in with the singing and prayers. Birthdays are celebrated with cards, small gifts, candles and the singing of Happy Birthday and refreshments are served at the end of each service.

The group remains loving and supportive and is a joy to be a part of, we pray for new participants as folk become more relaxed about gathering together and new people fill the vacant the properties around the complex.

Social Handcraft Group

We meet each Tuesday evenings between 7:30 and 9:00 during term time and holiday time too. The idea being that we can bring along any type of handcraft we like and sit round a group of tables so that we can see each other and just chat while we craft. We’ve been a main core group of 7 or so people for a couple of years now, another joined us during this last year and now we are 8 meeting each week. The crafts differ from person to person. The conversation is generally open for any to join in but often there are several conversations going at the same time. It’s a good friendship circle. Margaret Shepherd and I are part of this group, and we pray that opportunities to share our faith happens. If this is a long-term prayer, then so be it. In the meantime, we make it a friendly space to get together, bring whatever we want as our craft and have a cuppa. We ask £1 as a small contribution to the evening.

Annie Griffiths

Jelly tots-

We have had a very successful year with lots of new Mums/Carers coming along. Sometimes they may only come once, particularly if it’s a really busy day. I think it may be overwhelming with lots of little ones and toddlers running round and can get quite noisy. An average is 12 parents/carers and about 16 little ones from babies to toddlers.

Margaret continues to help with Jelly tots each week and gets alongside all, having a chat, occasionally other church members also help. Margaret also organises a 15-minute singalong with soft toys for children to join in with the songs. For instance, “Old Macdonald has a farm”, each child has an animal and Margaret works her way through all of them. The children really enjoy this part of the morning and will often ask are we going to do it.

Tudor comes most weeks and helps me in the kitchen before going to chat with the Mums and Carer. When I get a free moment from the kitchen, I also chat with everyone.

It has been a really good year with a safe and happy environment for the little ones to play in and make new friends and for adults to meet other parents and carer and discuss with each other any issues they make have.

Haddenham Food Bank

Thanks to our members and friends at HBC for the weekly contributions to the Foodbank which are much appreciated.

Bible study Groups

Women’s Thursday evening group

There are a total of around 8 or 9 women in the group, although usually there are only about 5 or 6 who take part in the zoom meeting each week, mainly because several are in full time work and sometimes this carries on into their evenings!

Annie shares the leading of the group with Margaret and we now only meet in term time. Sometimes we just have a ‘Chat and Prayer’ evening instead of an actual study.

We have enjoyed learning about the Fruit of the Spirit and are currently looking at Acts, considering how we - with the guidance and encouragement of the Holy Spirit - can be disciples of Jesus nowadays.

The studies continue to be interactive, and we enjoy the social aspect as well as learning from the Bible.

Margaret Shepherd

Tuesday Home Group/ bible study group report

The Tuesday home group continues to meet fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons on zoom. There are 8 members in the group, Richard has remarried and moved on from his home in St Ives and he and his wife now worship with the Salvation Army in Cambridge. We decided to cover Acts as our topic this year after finishing our study of Luke’s gospel. We are finding the book of Acts an exciting and wonderful book to study. Each chapter shows us something new about the way God is able to work through people to draw others to himself through Jesus. Through learning about the challenges faced by the early church we can see how God is able to work His purpose out in many different ways in all sorts of circumstances and this is both encouraging and challenging for us in our own walk and witness. We have had many ups and downs in our own lives during the year and it has been good to be able to share these and to support each other in prayer.

Sunday Club report 2023

Karen and I usually plan and deliver lessons on alternate weeks. We have a variety of people helping – all D.B.S checked, and we are very grateful to them for all they do. We have covered a range of topics based on the old and new testaments. We sing songs, watch videos, play games, listen to stories, and engage in crafts to support the learning and share God’s love with the children. The age group of the children attending Sunday Club, remains wide, with Mary, an older teenager and Jamie 7 months, at the extremes. A highlight of the year has been seeing Mary give her life to Jesus and go through the waters of baptism: a great witness and huge encouragement to us all. We all need to continue to pray for: 1) the children, that they may come to know Jesus in a real and personal way and 2) all who help, that they may be given strength, time and encouragement

5

so that they may be able and willing to continue with the work and find joy in it 3) more workers to come forward to help with leading the group so that the teaching might be more age appropriate. Joy Lant

Groups using the church premises : -

Church lettings include Rainbows and Beavers

Haddenham Level Drainage Board meet twice yearly.

Amanda Burns (Counsellor) uses the church office 5-7 times a week for 1-hour sessions on weekdays.

Haddenham Scout Group are advertising for a leader and will most likely use our church in the near future.

These lettings provide a valuable source of income for HBC in excess of £2,000 pa. Paul Shepherd

Church coffee morning

The bi-weekly coffee morning held on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Thursday of the month has struggled to maintain numbers through 2022 into 2023, partly down to the warm hub opening in the village on the same day. Up to March 2023 it was run by one of the church deacons, however her husband died in April 2023 and so another church member and the minister have stepped in.

Men’s Breakfast

This soft outreach activity continued towards the latter part of 2022 on a quarterly basis attracting on average twelve plus individuals on a Saturday morning commencing at 9:30am. The group has a mixture of Christian and non-Christian participants. We normally have a speaker who talks around a given subject. Attendance proves to be a consistent reaching up to sixteen on a good day and down to eight when people are away.

Technology-Service presentation

Since the advent of covid we have needed to ensure church services and other activity groups could communicate and so we have used the platform ‘Zoom’ to ensure we can come together as a church with no disruption of services. We now have four people trained to manage the service presentation and will look to find another to train up for cover.

The church website is up and running but just needs extra pages adding to help enhance GDPR along with its regular review for updating weekly activity.

Safeguarding and DBS report for Haddenham Baptist Church

Up to the end of 2022 all Enhanced DBS checks were up to date for all individuals involved with children or vulnerable adults, along with level 2 and 3 safeguarding training.

Five people completed the safeguarding training in December 2022 and seven people completed their training in January 2023. Six of those have Level 2 and six have Levels 2 and 3. Three people still have current certificates, dated until 2024. In total, there are 15 people at Haddenham Baptist Church who are safeguarding trained, with four potential people waiting to attend a course.

There are 16 people who have valid DBS certificates, with 3 potential people waiting to be checked.

Holding of unnecessary paperwork

Our Church records and various deeds are being itemised and some loaned for a short period to the Haddenham Local History Group who will photograph and add them to their collection. All of this memorabilia will then be handed over to The Cambridgeshire Archives in Ely. Paul Shepherd

Financial Review

The Church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. Our income has been supplemented by renting out our manse and an additional property in Witchford, purchased from a very generous legacy from a past member.

The most significant expense related to our Minister, Tudor Parsons, to lead and co-ordinate the church’s activities including the Sunday Services, to provide pastoral care for the congregation and other people, and to equip and encourage the membership in their life, Christian witness, and service. The Church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making grants to national and international Christian organisations and needy individuals through our Freddy and May fund.

The Church is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the church’s activities, many of which run with little or no impact on the church’s expenditure, some making a small contribution to church funds. but certainly, contribute to the achievement of the church’s objectives. The financial results for the year, together with a summary of the accounting policies adopted are set out in the accompanying financial statements.

The church is a participating employer within the Defined Benefit section of the Baptist Pension scheme and has been making ongoing deficit payments to cover the costs of past service of its employees within the scheme under a recovery plan. The church understands that if it had left the scheme at the year-end, it would have to have made a one-off payment estimated to be £1,000 to meet its statutory obligations to the scheme. The church has no plan to leave the scheme and expects to continue to make payments of £1 per month to the scheme in line with the recovery plan.

Reserves’ Policy

The Trustees have established a Reserves’ Policy to enable the church to function effectively and meet its obligations in the event of a decline in our income or a major cost. Having considered the relevant risks of changes in income and expenditure, the Trustees have determined that the appropriate level of reserves is £17,000. As of 31 December 2022, the church held total reserves of £102,758 of which £2,644 were restricted and £8,947 designated. Reserves that were neither restricted nor designated amounted to £91,167. The Trustees invested £17,000 in the Baptist Together 3-month Deposit Account and £13,000 in a 7-day Baptist Investment, which with interest now stands at £30,523.

Achievements and performance

The Church does not measure the success of its programmes only in numbers but also in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2022 with new people attending was a positive year in the life of the Church, and that it will be able to pursue its mission purposes in 2023 with renewed enthusiasm.
