transform.church
Annual Report 2023
After registering transform.church as a charity towards the end of 2022, we were able to open a bank account early in 2023. It was clear though that we needed a larger trustee body in order to have the capacity to move the church forwards. To this end, and for the additional purpose of raising the awareness and engagement of Baptist churches with the digital sphere, we hosted three online conversations under the banner of #DigitalPentecost. These generated an encouraging amount of participation and a number of people who were interested in exploring getting involved with transform.church.
At our AGM in the autumn we were pleased to expand the trustee body with four new people. Whilst identifying roles and responsibilities for each of these new leaders, we also needed to say goodbye to one of our founding trustees, David Judkins, who was thanked for his contribution in the setting up of the charity. In November we held a hybrid Away Day to further explore the vision of transform.church. This was helpful as a starting point for building relationships amongst the new trustees and to discuss what the current and future shape of the church could be. We’re excited about the year ahead, and are pleased that transform.church has catalyzed discussions about the setting up of a Digital Round Table within Baptists Together.
