**Wood Lane, Rothwell, Leeds, LS26 0PG** ## **Annual Report 2024** Rothwell Bap,st Church is based in a suburb of Leeds and is part of the wider grouping of Bap,st churches, the **Yorkshire Bap-st Associa-on.** We are members of **BUGB** (Bap,st Union of Great Britain). We strive to be **a welcoming and caring all-age church, sharing the good news about Jesus with our community and making disciples in our neighbourhood and beyond.** We have been pleased to welcome new members into our fellowship; some con,nue to worship with us on a regular basis. Our statement of assets and liabili,es show that we are in the black and able to pay our bills, employees and give to other chari,es. community. Consequently, along with church ac,vi,es it is in use almost all day, every day. We meet every Sunday morning and some evenings for worship and fellowship. During the week there are two prayer mee,ngs, a group that meets for lunch, Bible study and prayer, and a weekly house group. A toddler group and three children and youth groups meet weekly during term ,me. Trustees meet every month to discuss the life and business of our church, and a members mee,ng is held bi-monthly. Most of our ac,vi,es are run by volunteers from within the fellowship, who also are involved in pastoral visita,on and care. However, along with our Family and Children’s worker we do employ a worker from Missional Genera,on to work with children and youth. The trustees con,nue to monitor policies and risk assessments to ensure that those using our building are in a safe environment.
