## **Naunton Lane Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPCEW) Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.** The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Declaration of Trust, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". ## _**Objectives and activities**_ The Naunton Lane Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Cheltenham is a group of Christians who are committed to following Jesus Christ. We are a Bible based Church, viewing the Bible as our rule for what we believe and how we live our lives. We are an Evangelical church which means we are centred on the 'Gospel', or 'Good News', about Jesus Christ coming into the world to save people. We are a Presbyterian church, which means we follow a representative form of church government, and our beliefs and teaching are in line with our historic subordinate standard, the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. We are a friendly church, welcoming anyone who wants to follow, or to find out about following, Jesus Christ. We also seek to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship, or aged and sick, and to relieve the distress caused hereby in line with Biblical principles. This activity fulfils the objectives of the Charity, as stated in the Trust Deed, which are to further the Christian faith. ## _**Public benefit**_ The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## _**Achievements and performance**_ The Church normally meets for the public worship of God, morning and evening, on the Lord's Day, and for Bible Study and prayer at the midweek meeting. We have a time of fellowship in the church hall after the services with tea and coffee, and once a month we have a ‘bring and share lunch.’ We have made adjustments, when needed, due to government Covid guidance, and our own Covid risk assessments. 1 Services are normally taken by our Minister, Ministerial Assistant or one of the Elders. On occasion, an appropriate visiting preacher is invited. Our church services are livestreamed so that friends, who are unable to attend in person, can be blessed by the ministry. We held midweek prayer meetings and homegroups once a month which studied the book ‘Lets Study Ephesians.’ We held our traditional week of prayer at the start of the New Year from 22[nd] to 27[th] of January 2024. Rev Chris Kavanagh retired as a member of session at the end of December 2023 following 9 years of faithful service. During the year Lucas Da Costa, our ministerial assistant, continued his development under the guidance of the elders. He preached regularly and supported the various meetings of the Church. He made excellent progress. Our 4 deacons have made an excellent contribution to the smooth running of the church during the year. The church takes periodic collections for the Deacons’ Fund which is used in a confidential manner to help those in need who are associated with the church in line with Biblical principles. We have a book table in the church with free books available. These have been selected by the Elders as an encouragement to church members and friends. We have held a junior Sunday School Class for some young participants during the morning service. This has been well received. On Friday evening during term time, the Church runs a JAM club (Jesus and Me), for Biblical instruction of primary school aged children which is very well supported. We run a monthly meeting for seniors at Badgeworth Court Care Home. We also run Holiday Bible Clubs twice a year in the church for additional Biblical instruction of primary school aged children. About four times a year the church members and friends normally leaflet the local community, seeking to encourage interest in the Christian faith and attendance at the various meetings of the Church, particularly Sunday Services. On the 9[th] March we hosted a concert of classical music with a Christian theme with the professional musicians group Dei Gratia Ensemble. Members of the local community were invited. There was an excellent attendance. 2 The Church also has a ministry to university students (particularly International students), including holding events for those who attend the Church, showing hospitality and friendship, and also providing speakers for Christian events run by the university's Christian Union. We hold a monthly Men's Meeting which meets in homes. We have been studying ‘Maturity’ by Sinclair Ferguson and ‘All Things Made New’ by John Flavel. Periodically, we have Christianity Explored classes for those interested in the Christian Faith, and Discipleship Explored Classes for those seeking to grow in their knowledge and walk with the Lord. We have a weekly ‘Mother and Baby’ Bible study, which is popular with the mothers as a time of fellowship and sharing God's word. This usually takes place using zoom but sometimes meets in homes. We host a monthly meeting for seniors, called Prime Time, during which coffee, tea and cake are enjoyed, hymns are sung, and fellowship enjoyed. At the time of our Harvest Thanksgiving Service we collected food for donation to the Cheltenham foodbank for sharing with those in need.. We arranged a joint Churches’ Day Out at Gretton Village Hall on Saturday 22[nd] July 2023. It was a good time of fellowship, food and fun, and was well supported by friends of all ages. The Church has sought to support those in need or hardship in various ways - materially where appropriate, and also spiritually. In matters of serious hardship abroad, eg earthquakes, hurricanes etc, the Church may seek to give some financial support. This would normally be channelled through Churches in their community, so that distribution was in line with Biblical principles. The church supports the Blythswood Christmas Shoe Box Campaign, with donated gifts being sent to people, mostly in Eastern Europe, and distributed through local churches to those in need. The Elders of the Church seek to visit those in special need, eg illness, and to encourage them in the Gospel from the Bible. The Church seeks to support missionary outreach at home and abroad. We schedule visits from suitable missionaries who are at home on furlough, or are visiting churches to hear an update about the aspect of the Lord’s work they are engaged in. Since October 2007 the Church has been supporting the work of the Presbyterian Christian Association of Mangalia, a mission Church in Romania, This church runs a number of programmes for disadvantaged local people. In this Ministry we are involved with a truly international team: the Minister in charge has been the Rev 3 Gilberto Coelho, who is a Minister of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. We still seek to give support as we are able. Training for trustees is largely ad-hoc and dependent on requests from individuals for training in specific areas. The Charity relies heavily upon individual members, with specific responsibilities, taking the initiative in keeping themselves up to date on wide ranging legislative matters, and the dissemination of summarised reading matter to the charity as a body where appropriate. Use is made of additional material, where possible, on issues such as Child Protection and, to a large extent, the content of the Annual Report. Church giving and expenditure has been reviewed by the deacons and elders, and a number of programmes identified and implemented. This has been shared with church members for their input and support. While church finances overall are healthy, expenditure has been greater than income and ongoing focus will be needed. ## **Financial review and Reserves** There was a surplus on unrestricted funds for the year. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific use, should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The CIO of Naunton Lane EPC charity number 1204443 received by transfer the church building which is used for worship and other church activities on March 31, 2024. The building was received from an independent trust, and is valued at £700,000, which is represented in the CIO accounts. ## **Risk Factors** The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. A Child Protection Policy is operative, and all involved with regulated youth activities and/or vulnerable adults, have passed DBS checks. Copyright and Music Licences are held as needed in respect of the activities of the Church. The building and contents have continued to be comprehensively insured, and this insurance also provides indemnity in respect of the liabilities of the Trustees and members. Employer's liability insurance is also included. The Trustees are aware of the anti-money laundering regulations and fully comply with them 4 The accounts for the trust 1137484 Naunton Lane Evangelical Presbyterian Church, - for April 01, 2023 March 31, 2024 are appended for information.
