**Summary of the main activities**
**in relation to these objects**||| ||THE OBJECTS OF THE CIO ARE: TO ADVANCE THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
STATEMENT OF FAITH BY PROVIDING FACILITIES FOR
CHRISTIAN WORSHIP, PRAYER, RELIGIOUS EDUCATION,
BIBLE STUDY, OUTREACH AND PASTORAL CARE FOR THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY.|| ||MT. Shiloh Baptist Church has undertaken a careful review of the
Commission’s guidance regarding public benefit, with particular
attention paid to the requirements for religious charities. This
approach ensures that the church remains compliant with relevant
regulations, while at the same time upholding its commitment to
community service and the core values of faith.
The church is dedicated to creating opportunities for members of
the community to actively participate in and strengthen their faith.
These opportunities are provided through a range of initiatives,
which include:

Worship and prayer, alongside learning about the Gospel
and encouraging deeper knowledge and trust in Jesus.

Delivering pastoral care services to assist and strengthen
the local community.

Missionary and outreach work, aimed at extending support
and engagement beyond the immediate congregation.|| 2 ## **Achievements and performance** |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity during**
**the financial period**|Throughout the year, Mt Shiloh Baptist Church has provided a variety
of services designed to support and enrich the community. These
services have taken place both during the week and across the
annual calendar, ensuring ongoing engagement and opportunities for
spiritual growth. The church’s offerings have been consistently valued
by members of the community, who have found them not only
beneficial in a practical sense but also uplifting and spiritually
fulfilling.
Notably, the church’s mid-week prayer meeting had fostered a quiet,
intimate, and reflective atmosphere for worship. This setting allows
individuals to find peace, connect with their faith, and participate in
meaningful communal worship in a supportive environment.
Additionally, the church offers individuals the chance to participate in
vibrant worship during its annual conferences, which are conducted
over three days in July (_before registration_) and one day in October.
This year, we have successfully welcomed more families and
individuals as members of the congregation or as regular visitors. Our
church has celebrated and participated in baptisms (public dedication
to their faith), ordinations (promotion in their faith), and christenings
(God’s blessing ofinfants) as part of our ongoing commitment to
meaningful spiritual ceremonies.| |---|---| ## **Financial review** |**Brief statement of the charity’s**
**policy on reserves**|The Trustees have implemented a Reserves Policy to ensure the
church can operate efficiently and fulfil its commitments should there
be a reduction in income or an unexpected significant expense.
After assessing potential risks related to fluctuations in income and
expenditure, the Trustees have determined that an appropriate
reserve level is approximately £600. At the end of the financial year,
the balance of unrestricted funds was £440 after allocations, which
fell short of the established target.| |---|---| 3 > **Details of any deficit** N/A > **Financial review of the charity** The Church maintains its fundraising efforts internally, relying exclusively on its members and congregation to support its ongoing activities. No external or public solicitation for funds was conducted during the year. The Church relies significantly on its members serving as volunteers across various activities. These contributions often require minimal financial expenditure yet play a vital role in fulfilling the Church’s core objectives. The accompanying financial statements present the financial outcomes for the period, along with a summary of the adopted accounting policies. ## **Other optional information** Charity Secretary was on medical leave during this time, the Church Secretary, temporarily fulfilled their duties. ## **Declaration** ## **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** S Springer **Full name(s)** Shaquilla Anderson Springer **Position (e.g. Chair)** Secretary **Date 20 February 2026** 4 ## **MT.
