Pro
ation of the Gos
el
The Trustees plan to offer services to meet the needs of the community. Therefore in
202312024 we held:
A regular Sunday moming seNice. catering mainly to the needs of regular
attenders, but ensuring it is easy to follow so that a first-time visitor will feel
comfortable and induded. People are regularly invited to attend these
servI￿s.
Sunday morning services on special occasions (eg Mothers, Day.
Remembrance Sunday) which are very well attended by many visitors and
may include a puppet show. play by the drdma club or other activities as
appropriate to the occasion.
A regular midweek Bible Study attended by regular church members.

Gos
el 'Practices"
We put our faith into practice through several projecls. all of which are attended by a
mix of ¢ultures, faiths and ethnic backgfounds.
Kidz Klub offers tmerrtoring to schools workiTtg wtU7 Students individually and in
groups to help support young people's emotional and behavioural
developmenl. These students are selected as some of the most vulnerable
pupils who require extra support to help with their mental health. This has been
focused mainly within one primary school five days a week offering individual
arid group mentoring to those who have been specifically chosen by the
schod.
Kidz Klub are responsible for the planning and ediling of the weekly worship at
one primary school where they work with the school's worship council. The
worship council consists of 8 children from year 6 who deliver the worshlp to
the rest of the school. Kidz Klub go through the worship wilh the children and
help them ready for wh8n they deliver it to the rest of the schooi. The worship
consists of a biblical message. scripknres. and drama.
Our schools, workers worked wilh year 6 pupils who were Iransitioning to
sewndary school.
After Ihe developrnant of the rooms a weekly Kidz Klub is ran on a Monday
evening from Ashmore Park Baptist church. The group is for children aged 3 -
11 years old and it is a modern children's'sunday school, ran during term time.
Kidz Klub take the children on different themed 'adventures' as they explore
Bible characlers and the stories from the bible. They then learn how they apply
these lessons to their everyday lives.
With the facTI Ities available at Ashmore Park Baptist Church parènts of children
who attend Kidz Klub are given the opportunity to stay and have refreshments
in another room. This gives the opkK)rtunity to build and strengthen relationships
with the families.
Wednesfield Christian Centre ran 'Messy Church, services al Chrislrnas and
Easter where the children from Kidz Klub and Live-wire were invited to
Wednesfield Christian Centre alongside their families.
Wednesfield Christian Centre put on a Christmas performance with some of
the children who attend Kidz Klub'The best present of all, as part of their
annual Christmas Carol Service.
Following the development of a perrnanent youth rLK)tn, Wolverhampton
Youth for Chrisl began hosting a Youth Minisiry called Live Wire for 11 16
year old's on Friday evenings. The sessions are a mixture of recreational and
focused group lime. Where the youth play garnes together and began looking
al confidence and what the bible says aboul our confidence. The youth really
engage and were open to discuss their views on topics.

Wolverhampton Youth for Chr5St continued to connect with the Catslyst youlh
trtjst for networking and for training. We attended the 'Stir gathering, with
some of the young people who attend live wire. At the gathering the young
people got to hear worship music and a short message
All those wotl(ing with children and young people have DBS cheGks and most hold fjrst
aid and food hygiane certificates. All projects have intemally trained fire marshals.
Glfts to Support Mlsslons and for the Rellef of Povèrty
During the year, the church conlinued our financial support to Release International,
an organisation that aids Christians around the world who are being persecuted for
their faith.
We also continued to supply 20 New Lrfe Newspapers per month to HMYOI Prison
Brinsford.
Inancial Review
The church is dependent for its income on weekly collections taken during the Sunday
Service or online giving. Most wage eamers have completed tax forffls enabling a tax
rebate to be claimed. The projects are mostly self-supporting. although the church
gives £250 a month towards the schod's work.
We completed the year with a deficit of £5.051 in tho General Fund.
Total receipts for the year were £36.437. This consisted of unrestricted church funds
of £14.292 restricted church funds of £22,145.
Expenditure totaled £43,850 which enabled us to provide all the services, gifts and
building upkeep delailed above.
The bank, deposit and cash in hand balances carried forward at the end of the year
amounted to £41,638
No additional members of staff became eligible for autoonrolment.
Rèserves Pollcy
Since the projects are all self-sustaining and would fold should this cease to be the
case. the reserves policy is set at 12 months 'operaling cosls for the General Fund
alone. This is sel at £15,000. We have £11,171 on deposit and £18,418 in current
accounts in unrestricted funds. This creates an excess of £14,589. The Trustees plan
inilially lo increase our giving to charity and necessary maintenance work is planned
for the building.

Volunteers
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work both in the church and its projects.
We achieve an enormous amount for a small church. and Ihis is entirely due to Ihe
large number of people who give so much of their time. effort and commitment to setve
the community.
Structure, Governanco and Management
The work is overseen by a Pastor who is in full time secular employment and who
draws no slipend from the trust.
There are seven curreril trustees. The trustees met four times tr) review the quarterly
accountslbudget and disGuss health & safety. purchases and other church matters.
