## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2022. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

The principal aims and objectives of the Church are: 

a)  the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination; 

b)  the advancement of education in the Christian faith; and 

c)  to carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. 

The Church is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at its services and to become part of the local congregation. Church services continue to be held on Sunday mornings both in the Church building and via Zoom for those unable to come to the Church. 

## **Governance** 

Earlsfield Baptist Church is a charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales. Charity Registration number 1193754. 

The policy and operating decisions of the Church rest with the Trustees who met eight times during the year. 

Key decisions were brought to Church Members by emailed correspondence (hard copies were sent by post to those without access to the internet) and also communicated at Church Members' meetings. 

## **Review of Activities** 

## _**Congregation and Members**_ 

The Church celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2022 as did the Junior/Mini Church. Weekly worship services continued to be held on Sunday mornings at 11 am. The Church continued to use the Hybrid Model for worship (online and offline community) throughout the period covered by this report. Although COVID restrictions were relaxed towards the end of 2021, for the comfort of those attending services, face coverings continued to be worn when singing for the early part of the year. 

Throughout 2022, contact was maintained with all members of the congregation by fortnightly newsletters in January and February and then monthly newsletters from March onwards.  Contact was also maintained with telephone calls, emails and, when possible, home visits. In the period covered by this report, one person was baptized, two people were received into membership and one member received her home call. 

Current membership stands at 43. 

Our Minister, Rev Keith Parr, led Lent studies and special services at Easter, Pentecost, Harvest and Christmas. 

During the year, Rev Parr initiated weekly Bible Study meetings: 'Coffee and a Chat' in a local coffee shop, 'Pester a Pastor' in a local public house and a Bible Study house group via Zoom.  A grant was received from the Baptist Union to help with costs.  He also invited people to join him for coffee and a chat on Saturday mornings.  Monthly Pastor's Pancake Parties were held at the Manse for families on the first Saturday of the month and a monthly Youth Pizza Party evening was held at the Manse.  A Church barbecue was held in July.  A weekly Alpha course commenced in October and was also held at the Manse.  A Reunion of past members of the 14th London Boys' Brigade Company and the 38th London Girls' Brigade Company was held at the Church in October and attendees also joined the Church's 125th Anniversary Service. 

The Church opened its doors for individual prayer as often as possible on weekdays during the year and a daily Prayer Texting continued to be circulated to those wishing to take part with encouraging Bible texts and suggested subjects for prayer for individuals, the local community and wider world events.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## _**Mission:**_ 

The Church continued to stay active in the community. 

- Church also manage and help at the Food Bank on Thursday mornings. 

• A cream tea was served a�er the morning service to celebrate the Pla�num Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022 and booklets about the Queen's Christian faith were distributed. 

•The Church opened on Thursday lunch�mes and at other �mes for individual prayer. 

•The Cra� and Scrabble Club con�nued its mee�ngs throughout the year. 

•The Prayer Tex�ng Service con�nued whereby members were able to request prayer. These requests and other ma�ers for prayer are circulated on a daily basis. 

Club continued its meetings providing a weekly, free, after school drop-in club for local children from Reception age through to Year 6 until the end of June 2022 when it closed due to very low attendance numbers. 

Aviation Fellowship, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Earlsfield Food Bank, Christian Aid, Global Care, BMS World Mission, Bible Society, Wycliffe Bible Translators, Leprosy Mission, Operation Agri and Home Mission. 

but, again, due to low attendance, only a few meetings were held.  However, children and young people continued to be encouraged to attend morning services and the monthly Communion Services were for all ages. 

• The Church con�nued to use various social media sites to promote events and encourage contact from the general public.  No�ce boards outside the Church also advertised various events. 

• The Church website con�nued to be improved to be more user-friendly and informa�ve. 

## _**Premises:**_ 

General maintenance of the premises continued throughout the year where needed. 

The Manse provided accommodation for Rev Parr throughout the year and maintenance is carried out when needed. 

The Colour Box Montessori School continued to rent The Rock on weekday mornings during term time. A Dance School and a Stage School hired The Rock on weekday afternoons and evenings and on Saturdays respectively. The 6th Earlsfield Guiding Group used the premises on Wednesday evenings and Alcoholics Anonymous also held their weekly meetings at the Church on Thursday evenings.  The Wandsworth branch of U3A held their monthly meetings at the Church on the third Monday of each month and the local Allotments Society held their Annual Show and AGM at the Church in September and November respectively. 

The Church received a Home Office grant which enabled CCTV and an alarm system to be installed in all buildings. 

## _**General Data Protection Regulation 2018:**_ 

Members of the congregation continued to be contacted by email from the official church email addresses. The Church remained compliant with GDPR but work is needed to ensure it follows UK guidelines with regard to retaining members' personal information. 

## _**Safeguarding:**_ 

The church’s safeguarding statements and policies are reviewed annually and copies are displayed throughout the premises. The statements are read to the church members annually and all leaders of clubs and activities held at the church have been made aware of the statements and must adhere to the policies and procedures. 

## _**Plans for Future Periods:**_ 

_**Mission:**_ The Trustees remains committed to the mission focus of the Church and endeavours to strengthen the outreach programme whenever possible. There is a mission focus each month when a specific charity or organisation is highlighted and supported through the communion offering.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The Church will continue with the Hybrid Model for Sunday services to give the congregation and members the choice of where to worship. Hybrid worship offers more inclusivity; it includes the housebound, those who are unwell, those who may have COVID or other health concerns, those who live far from the Church Building and those who are busy with work and family commitments. Hybrid Church offers new opportunities to include more of our community in the body of Christ. 

The Church continues to look at different ways to reach out to the Community such as meeting and holding events in pubs and coffee shops. 

Following the Church becoming a registered Charity in March 2021, new Bank Accounts and new registration with HMRC were finalised in late 2022. 

_**Renovations:**_ In 2019, Church members approved the cost of refurbishment of the existing Hall toilets but, due to the pandemic, this work was placed on hold. Planning Permission was granted but, due to the significant increase in labour and material costs, renovation of Church Halls are on hold. 

## **Financial Activities and Affairs** 

Hall Hire income recovered to pre COVID levels as we received full year's income from our regular hires. 

Members of the congregation continued to give generously to the Church, although average weekly offerings (including direct bank donations) was flat year on year. 

The Church continued to make all payments and expenses via online bank transfer or Direct Debits. Payments were processed by the Treasurer and then approved online by either the Church Secretary or another Trustee. A small team of Church members met monthly to count and bank cash/cheque offerings. 

## **Please see the attached detailed accounts.** 

Total Income decreased by £28.5k to £85.4k (2021: £113.9k), £15.2k and £13.3k lower income from Restricted and General Funds respectively. 

General Fund £13.3k reduction to £80.2k (2021: £93.5k) was from lower Hall Hire income. During 2021 we received rental income for the manse (Minister's residence), this wasn’t repeated in 2022. 

Restricted Fund £15.2k reduction to £5.3k (2021: £20.5k) mainly due a one off donation of £10k towards Church's Building Fund for renovations in 2021 and lower funds (£3.6k) transferred from General fund to Restricted towards Home Missions. 

Total Expenditure decreased by £13.0k to £85.4k (2021: £98.4k). General expenses were £8.0k lower (£81.2k vs £89.2k) less funds transferred to Restricted fund and savings from one-off moving costs for Minister in 2021. 

Restricted expenditure was £5.0k lower (£4.2k vs. £9.2k) due to reduced donations from 'Church Denominational' fund. 

## **The total Income of £85.4k was offset by total expenditure of £85.4k (2021: surplus of £15.6k).** 

Net assets increased by £673k to £7,076k (2021: £6,402k), due to increased property valuation based on insurance rebuild values. Total Cash Balance at end of the year was £13.0k (2021: £15.8k). 

## **Funding:** 

The Church continued to raise necessary funds from within its own membership, congregation and by hiring out its halls. The Church is committed to making donations to other charitable organisations and causes. 

In this period, £3.8k (£7.5k in 2021) was donated to such charitable organisations and causes including Global Care, Christian Aid, Leprosy Mission, BMS World Mission and the Baptist Union's Home Mission. In addition to regular giving, the Church is grateful for the continued support to the Church in terms of personal donations and coffee mornings.
