## **Structure, governance and management**
Trinity Baptist Church, Gloucester (‘the Church’) is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission in February 2021 under charity number 1193524. It is governed by a constitution document adopted on 31 January 2021.
This annual report covers the second full year of operation of the charity as a CIO as it took a considerable amount of time to arrange for the transfer of the church’s assets from the Baptist Union Corporation as holding trustees of the previous charitable unincorporate association (CUA). This transfer took place on 31[st] March 2023.
The trustees of the new CIO are those who transferred from the previous CUA and are those who are appointed to the offices of Elder (including Pastor) and Deacon in accordance with the Church Handbook. The positions of Church Secretary and Treasurer are appointed by the Trustees.
During this reporting period the charity trustees have been responsible for the general control and management of the charity. They have met formally six times.
1
The trustees include Matthew Gamston and Stuart Harding who serve as full-time (paid) co-pastors alongside Mark Eagles and Alan Gilmore as elders who are responsible for spiritual oversight of the fellowship in accordance with the Constitution. Mr Adrian Brixey resigned as an elder on 1[st] January 2025 and Mr Matthew Herd resigned as a deacon on 5th December 2024. Mr Mark Eagles was appointed as an elder on 20[th] March 2025.
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Aims**
The Aims of the charity are set out in the charity’s constitution document and are summarised as follows: (1) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith primarily, but not exclusively, within Gloucester and the surrounding neighbourhood; and (2) such other charitable purposes, as shall in the opinion of the members of the Church put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, provided that the advancement of such purposes is undertaken in a manner that is consistent with the Church’s Doctrinal Distinctives and Ethical Statements as outlined in the Church Handbook.
## **Strategies in support of our Aims**
Our strategies are: (1) To reach out to people in Gloucester with the good news of Jesus, enabling anyone regardless of age, race or religion to learn more about the Christian faith as taught in the Bible; (2) To build up the church members through Bible teaching in the context of prayerful mutual care so that we are equipped for active gracious involvement in the wider community, praying for opportunities to speak of Christ; (3) To support the spread of this good news globally.
In pursuing these strategies, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider these to be of benefit to both Christians within the church and to the wider community.
## **Consideration of Risks**
Three main areas of risk have been identified, and procedures put in place to mitigate these are as follows. 1) The charity closely monitors and manages its finances to ensure that funds are available for ongoing support of its objectives. 2) Appropriate insurance is in place to protect the charity from unexpected events. 3) DBS checks are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups as part of the church’s safeguarding policy.
## **Activities and Achievements**
The church’s activities are free of charge and in general are open to all to attend. These activities cover a wide age range, but the central focus is always on preaching and teaching the Word of God.
2
The morning and evening Sunday services are attended regularly by 140-160 people primarily from Gloucester. Those attending include both Christians and nonChristians who enjoy the friendship and support of the church community. In recent years those attending have included a good number of internationals several of whom are refugees and asylum seekers. Visitors often remark how welcoming the church is. The services are also livestreamed on YouTube (with real-time and retrospective access through the church’s web-site (www.tbcgloucester.org) for those who are unable to attend in person. There is normally a crèche and Sunday School for children up to Primary school year 4 (the age range was extended during the current year). Tea and coffee are served after each service and once per month everyone is encouraged to stay for lunch together. After our evening church service, a young people’s group meeting is held to encourage fellowship and friendship while considering a Biblical response to the preaching of the day or to topics relevant to our society today.
The programme of activities during the week is very full. There is “Little Fishes” toddler group on Monday mornings and “Pins and Needles” on Monday evenings. Both activities are focussed on the local community and run jointly by church volunteers alongside the White City Venture team (the local community organisation). Tuesday morning sees the Women’s group meet for Bible study and fellowship and an open coffee morning is held once per month to encourage links with the local community and build friendships. In the evening, there is an open and informal table tennis and games time for all ages. On Wednesday evenings there is “JF” for children aged 7-11 with Bible teaching, games, crafts and cooking. Once per month there is a Wednesday lunch for senior citizens attending the church. Thursday mornings is International Living Room, an informal English conversation class for those who wish to improve their English and become familiar with English culture. There is a light lunch and a Bible study held afterwards for any interested in getting to know more about the Christian faith.
During the year three extra activities were started: a) On Friday evenings during term-time a meeting for 13-18s called “GN” has begun and has proved very popular. b) An 18-30s group has been formed to develop fellowship time for a growing number of people attending who are in this age group c) “The Creativity tree” entered its second year where craft and other activities are provided for any who are interested from the local community and has proved especially attractive for asylum seekers.
On alternate Thursday evenings there is either a prayer time for everyone at the church or Small Groups (6 in total) meeting in members’ homes across the city to encourage fellowship, pray for one another and study the Bible together. Men’s socials and women’s breakfasts have also been held, and these provide an opportunity to build friendships within the church and to invite others who have shown an interest in coming to our church.
3
Various initiatives to celebrate Christmas and to share the Christmas message with the wider community took place. Over 1000 Christmas greetings cards were distributed to the community around the church inviting people to the two “Carols by candlelight” services on Sunday 8th and 15th December and then a “Carols in the Car Park” Service on Sunday 22nd which is always popular with the local community.
The co-pastors and elders oversee our spiritual care of the fellowship and others with links to the church. This includes pastoral visits and teaching/mentoring of young Christians and those interested in learning more about the Christian faith with opportunities taken for Bible study and prayer. An additional paid (part-time) role aimed at providing pastoral care specifically for women attending church has now been created and a female member has been appointed to commence this work from April 2025. This appointee will work alongside the pastors and the many members of the church who regularly practise informal pastoral care and who also volunteer in contributing to the life of the wider community.
It would not be possible to accomplish all of this work without the hard work and service of all in the fellowship who give so much time and effort voluntarily to support the overall aims of the charity.
## **Financial review**
The assets of the previous charity (CUA) transferred seamlessly to the new CIO on 31[st] March 2023. Although the Baptist Union Corporation (BUC) are no longer the holding trustees for these assets, they still retain an interest in them through an “Ultimate trust” provision in the original trust deeds should the church no longer become capable of supporting itself. The property now under the exclusive control of the trustees of the CIO comprises the church building and related land in Finlay Road, Gloucester and a 50% interest in a manse property at 10 Viceroy Close, Gloucester. Monies arising from the sale of properties previously held under Baptist Union trusts are now retained in a new separate “Manse fund”. The CIO trustees have undertaken to manage this fund and supply details of transactions to the BUC annually on an ongoing basis.
In the early part of the financial year, a manse property at 48 Elmbridge Road, Gloucester was jointly purchased by the church (40%) and Pastor Stuart and Mrs Jo Harding (60%) using some of the monies from the Manse Fund. The church’s solicitors (Edward Connor Solicitors) advised that independent financial advice should be taken for this transaction, and this was obtained along with a chartered surveyor’s survey of the property and submission then made to the Charity Commission for approval, which was given.
All the other cash assets have transferred to the main CAF Bank account of the CIO and, in operating terms, new contracts have been agreed with various suppliers and
4
utility providers and new letters of appointment provided to the church’s two copastors. The previous CUA has now been closed.
In the previous financial year (2023/24) the General Fund balance dropped significantly but measures were put in place to restore a healthy balance through encouraging increased giving from members to this fund and a re-direction of giving from the Training Fund for the time being. This has now resulted in a very healthy balance in this fund at year end (end March 2025). One large unanticipated expense (almost £20,000) for replacing the 20-year-old covering of a large flat roof was incurred during the year after some internal leaks occurred in heavy rain. This cost was mainly covered by special offerings from members rather than placing a burden on the General Fund or Legacy Fund. The latter fund did not receive any further bequests during the current financial year.
Financial support for the church’s ministry beyond Gloucester has remained very encouraging. This has allowed the church to continue to support our partner churches in San Pedro in the Philippines and Northern India as well as many other missionary organisations based in the UK.

**Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025**

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of Trinity Baptist Church, Gloucester**
Registered charity number: 1193524
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on the following pages.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’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 the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
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.
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.
