EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH, EXETER
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
ended 31 December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
a. Objectives
The principal objectives of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Exeter (the “Church” or “Emmanuel Exeter”) are (i) advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Church's Statement of Faith primarily but not exclusively within Exeter and the surrounding neighbourhood; and (ii) such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the Trustees and with agreement of the members, put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the Church’s Statement of Faith.
Emmanuel Exeter exists by the grace of God, for the glory of God, which is the ultimate purpose in all of the Church’s activities. Emmanuel Exeter glorifies God by loving Him and obeying His commands though: Worshipping Him; Equipping the saints through Bible instruction and study; Proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching and personal evangelism, and any other means consistent with the teachings of Holy Scripture; Encouraging, supporting, and participating in missions work, local, domestic, and international; Administering the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper; Encouraging Biblical fellowship among believers; Serving other individuals, families, and the Church by providing for physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in the name of Jesus Christ; and Calling fellow churches to biblical faithfulness and purity through instruction and encouragement about the nature of the local church.
b. Activities Undertaken to Achieve Objectives
The Church’s main activities during 2025 were (i) Sunday morning services that included times of Bible reading, prayer, praise and preaching, (ii) Sunday evening prayer, praise and teaching, and (iii) midweek home groups including Bible teaching.
c. Achievements and Performance
Owing to the spiritual nature of the Church’s objectives it is di�icult to quantify achievements; however, the Church started 2025 with 19 members and the number of members increased to 37 by the end of 2025. There were also 2 baptisms during 2025 and the regular attendance at Sunday morning services was around 80 each Sunday.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (continued)
d. Future Plans
In 2026 Emmanuel Exeter hopes to grow in membership as the Lord provides. We will continue to strengthen ties with like-minded Baptist churches including financially supporting a church plant in another part of England early in the year.
Financial Review
a. Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate (i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Church to continue as a going concern) and have concluded that the Church is a going concern since the Church is well supported financially by its members and other individuals, churches and associations.
b. Reserves Policy
The Church holds £24,000 in unrestricted reserves in compliance with its mortgage agreement, such amount representing approximately two months of expenses.
c. Financial Review
Incoming resources during the year to 31 December 2025 totalled £244,947 (2024: £605,036) and expenditure totalled £137,895 (2024: £57,522) leaving a surplus of £107,052 (2024: £547,514).
The balance held in unrestricted funds at 31 December 2025 was £454,566 (2024: £347,514).

Structure, Governance and Management
a. Constitution
The Church was registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 22 May 2024 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with registered charity number 1208348.
The Church is governed by its Constitution dated 8May 2024. The Constitution contains the main legal provisions governing the Church, its purposes and Statement of Faith, and its powers. Under the Constitution, the people with the responsibility for the general control and management of the administration of the Church are the Trustees who meet at least monthly and are identified in the Constitution by reference to the o�ice they hold in accordance with the Church Handbook. The Church Handbook sets out the internal workings of the Church and is based the Church members’ understanding of the Bible. The Church Handbook sits alongside the Constitution and must always be consistent with the Constitution – if the Handbook is inconsistent, the Constitution takes precedence.
Powers
The Church has power to do anything which is calculated to further its objects or is conducive or incidental to doing so. In particular, the Church’s powers include power to:
-
a) Borrow money and to charge the whole or any part of its property as security for the repayment of the money borrowed. The Church must comply as appropriate with sections 124 and 125 of the Charities Act 2011 if it wishes to mortgage land;
-
b) Buy, take on lease or in exchange, hire or otherwise acquire any property and to maintain and equip it for use;
-
c) Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the property belonging to the Church with or without payment, provided that, in the exercise of such power, the Church complies as appropriate with sections 117 and 119-123 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
d) Employ and remunerate such sta� as are necessary for carrying out the work of the Church. The Church may employ or remunerate a Trustee only to the extent that it is permitted to do so by clause 6 of the Church Constitution (Benefits and payments to Trustees and connected persons) and provided it complies with the conditions of that clause; and
-
e) Deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager, and arrange for the investments or other property of the Church to be held in the name of a nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the Trustees of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
1. General Information
Emmanuel Baptist Church, Exeter is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England & Wales. Its registered office address is 18 Earl Richards Road North, Exeter EX2 6AG.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Emmanual Baptist Church, Exeter meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.1 Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
14
EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH, EXETER
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold Property - 2% per annum
2.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at Bank and In Hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH, EXETER
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 (continued)
2.8 Liabilities and Provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.9 Financial Instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.10 Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgment
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
There are no critical accounting estimates or assumptions.
