Review of Activities, Achievements and Performance
The office bearers’ of Portadown Baptist Church, as charity trustees present the following report on the work of the church for the year 2023.
On Sunday 10th December we had a wonderful evening of praise & rejoicing when 18 people took the step of obedience and were baptised. Later that same evening we welcomed twenty new members into the fellowship. Three of our much-loved members went home to be with the Lord during the year, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Betty England, Joan Corbett and Betty McAvoy.
At the end of 2023 the membership of our church was registered at 249.
We had the joy of conducting five weddings in our church this past year, Emma Stevenson to Matthew Foster on 20th May, Lucy Stevenson to Harry McNeely on 24th May, Kathryn Bond to Jamie Killough on 5th July, Emma-Jayne Wright to Philip Matthews on 1st August, and Rosie Goodman to Ryan Mann on 30th October.
Over the past year we have seen the birth of 6 babies to young married couples in our congregation – what a blessing. On 21st June at a members’ meeting, it was agreed that the church should adopt the Ministry Partnership Scheme run by the Irish Baptist College which seeks to place a new graduate from the college with a church for 2 years as an intern. Matthew Patterson joined the church on this scheme in August, and his role has entailed him working closely with the pastor, doing visitation, general pastoral duties, preaching and working with the young people.
The eldership team within the church had seen the workload and stress burden on the senior pastor Andrew Roycroft, and shared how there was a need for an associate pastor to work alongside him. This would help the church operations to be better coordinated and more intentional, to this end they have been looking at the role of the associate pastor and have created a profile for what type of gifting & qualities he might have. These qualities will complement the senior pastor and will not replicate his role.

Compliance with Sector-Wide Legislation and Standards
The charity engages pro-actively with legislation, standards and codes which are developed for the sector. Portadown Baptist Church subscribes to and is compliant with the following:
■ The Charities SORP (FRS 102)
Public Benefit
Portadown Baptist Church meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its members and the general public by making known the Christian gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through the advancement of the Christian faith. The direct benefits which flow from the purpose include: - Eternal salvation and adoption into the family of God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. - The spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing reconciliation both between human beings and God and between human beings. - The gaining of an understanding in Christian beliefs as set out in the Bible and the Doctrinal Statement of the Church leading to spiritual and moral development and personal growth in the Christian Faith. - The provision of regular Christian education, helping people to understand, live out, defend and promote the Christian gospel of Jesus Christ. - Practical expressions of Christian beliefs and standards in the local community such as through the care of those in need, assistance and comfort to the sick, elderly and bereaved. - The development of individual ability and gift through the engagement of willing volunteers in practical and spiritual service. - The positive impact on society that comes from the living out of a Christian worldview. The benefits arising from the purpose will be demonstrated through; the number of those attending activities and events and benefiting directly each week from the Bible teaching and the corporate worship, the leaders and helpers mobilised each week through various programmes and the positive contributions of members within the wider community; and, the effective pastoral care supporting both families and individuals. This will be evidenced through regular evaluation and informal feedback from members and those attending events, their families and the general public within the community in which the Church operates. The Trustees do not anticipate that any harm will flow from any of the above purposes. The church’s beneficiaries are church members and adherents, and anyone who chooses to attend the church services which are open to members of the general public, other individuals that the Church is in direct and indirect contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide which benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other secular organisations. The only private benefits flowing from our purposes are the provision of stipend for any pastor of the church who will also assume the role of Trustee and paid employment for the personnel required to manage the work of the Church. Such stipend, salaries and any incurred expenses are incidental and necessary to enable the Church to provide the pastoral and administrative support required to fulfil the stated Purpose.

for the financial year ended 31 December 2023
The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF PORTADOWN BAPTIST CHURCH
I have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might compile the financial statements that I have been engaged to compile, report to the Board of Trustees that I have done so, and state those matters that I have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members, as a body, for my work, or for this report.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 65 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
I have examined your charity financial statements as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act
-
the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the 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 (FRS102)
-
there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examiner's statement
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Portadown Baptist Church NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 December 2023
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Portadown Baptist Church is a charity incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office of the charity is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102".
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102".
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of a General fund.
■ General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
■ Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as income.
■Time based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised

Portadown Baptist Church NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 December 2023
in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated, disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
Land and buildings freehold - Not depreciated Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% Straight line
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
Taxation and deferred taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption.
