Objectives and Activities

The charitable objectives of the church are to worship God together in Spirit and in Truth, build the members up in the Faith and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and action. The aim of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith and to serve and support the local and Christian communities in Kirkintilloch, Scotland and beyond.

Grant Making Policy

The church makes grants from its tithed gift income to individuals and organisations that are generally known to the Trustees and the church. The beneficiaries are involved in activities or ministries compatible with the church’s objectives.

Review of our Achievement and Performance

We have been encouraged in several areas of the life of the church this year. We are grateful to God for the growth in numbers attending, particularly on Sunday mornings. We have also seen significant growth in the evening service and work with young people. We believe, that with God’s help, we have been able to worship God and enjoy his goodness, whilst supporting church members in their faith and sharing of the gospel, both in word and deed.

, our Senior Pastor and team leader has continued to lead us through 2024. has taken the church through a variety of bible teaching series which has included the Lord’s Prayer, “Counting the cost of discipleship’ and the book of Exodus – ‘He draws us out to draw us in’. Each of these series has been followed up in our weekly house groups (bible study groups) which has been a particularly helpful way of consolidating and applying this teaching. continues to make team communication a priority and has regular informal and formal meetings with team members, offering support and guidance. has worked diligently on his core responsibilities of preaching (which is shared with , visitation / pastoral care, chairing of various groups and meetings and leading the church through the year.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

Review of our Achievement and Performance (cont’d)

, our previous Youth Pastor moved to take up a new area of Christian service in Northern Ireland. The congregation and in particular the parents of our young people are very grateful for enthusiasm, leadership and care over these last years. The process of establishing a vacancy committee for his Youth Pastor post was started in February 2024. At the time of writing the vacancy committee continues to search for a replacement.

At the time of our last report were in the process of recruiting a new Youth Worker. We have been so blessed to have join the team as our new Youth Worker. She has brought tremendous enthusiasm and wisdom combined with a relational ability and clarity of expression the gospel which has been a real encouragement to our young people.

Perhaps an area of significant growth this year has been amongst our young people with fifty in the ‘pre’ and primary school age and a further thirty in secondary school age. We have two Primary 4-7 groups each with fifteen members, six youth house groups, Sunday morning 10:30 youth (with thirty or more attending) and FNL (Lighthouse) which meets fortnightly. FNL sees fifty to sixty attending with ages from P6-S3. This reaches children who are mainly out with church families. We also have a significant team of Sunday group volunteers for school and pre-school aged children. These teams are led by and we are so very grateful for them but most of all for the ability to share the good news of Jesus with so many young people.

The ministers’ salaries are set and agreed by the Church Council. The Church Council usually follows the recommended percentage increase by the Baptist Union of Scotland, the church meeting then endorses the increases. The ministry team continues to lead the Church, ably assisted by a committed staff team, itemised below, with any relevant changes noted.

The Church Council (comprising of Elders & Deacons) members have continued to serve the church. Elders and Deacons have their separate meetings each month and meet as a whole Church Council quarterly and as required; it is this group that brings any proposals to the Church meeting for approval.

The church elders are responsible for the spiritual direction and vision of the Church while the role of the deacons is to ensure the practical outworking of this vision. The various Hubs continue to maintain and develop the ministries they are responsible for, and report, through the minutes of their meetings, to both the elders and deacons. A number of the hubs are chaired by the elder assigned to that hub, and most hubs also have a deacon as a member. Other hub members are from a large cross section of people in the Church, who are thus able to be involved in both developing and implementing new ideas within the Church. A small group from the Elders has been established to review the work of the Hubs and assess their alignment with the Church vision statement. This group was temporarily paused during the search for the Associate Pastor and the plan remains to restart this now that has been in post for a more substantive period.

Our current Treasurer had indicated his intention to step down as Treasurer at the end of January 2025. has served as Treasurer for over forty years and has been unique in his gifting, wisdom and gracious spirit. He has been an invaluable servant, and we are very grateful to God for his faithful service. The Church Council tasked a small group to identify a new Treasurer and after due prayer and consideration name was brought by the council and accepted by the church meeting. has many years of experience in finance, HR and working in and leading large teams. was co-opted as an Elder in Oct 24 and formally took over the role of Treasurer in Feb 25. He has shadowed for an extended period of time and will be able to liaise with in the future if required. Once again, we thank the Lord for his gracious provision.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

Review of our Achievement and Performance (cont’d)

In light of the significant numerical growth we are seeing, the Church Council has been considering how we respond to this growth. This has included looking at several options or models of church growth and the strengths and weaknesses of each option. As part of this process, we reviewed the way we use our current available space which led to a refurbishment of our church hall, thus making it a more multipurpose space for meetings / ‘relay hall’ (overspill from the main auditorium). We are in the process of acquiring a small shop unit near to the church to allow more space for youth activities. It is likely this too may become a versatile space for a variety of functions.

The work of the Foodbank has continued to serve an area of ever-increasing need. Thousands of food parcels, fuel vouchers as well as practical and spiritual care have been given out. Since our last report there has been an interim period between Managers and our Assistant manager, led the team through this busy time. subsequently stepped down from this role and we acknowledge the blessing she has been to us in this very significant area of service. was appointed as Foodbank Manager but due to personal circumstances was only able to fulfil this role for a brief period. The Foodbank Financial Inclusion Lead, , has recently taken up the role of Foodbank Manager and the financial Inclusion role has been incorporated into the Manager remit. brings with her a raft of experience and wisdom and a heart for people. continued as community support worker for Foodbank and has been integral in facilitating this ministry. The Elders recognise the work of Foodbank will be an ongoing priority for the year ahead and will seek to further support its work as required.

The Foodbank Community Chaplain ( ) took up post in 2023. This role is predominantly funded by Foodbank and s role is to provide ‘Chaplaincy’ services to Foodbank clients and those from our community engaging via the Greenhouse Café, CAP and other local outreaches. ‘Chaplaincy’ services include a listening ear as well as more directive spiritual input that people request in their search for meaning, value and purpose, often in the midst of their suffering. together with a small team, formed a ‘café church’ style meeting for those not ready for a ‘full’ church experience. This has seen real blessing with many hearing the word of the Lord in a new way.

Our Christians Against Poverty (CAP) centre Manager is . Ross has been a tremendous blessing to the organisation and is working well with clients and debt coaches. CAP continues to work closely with local organisations taking referrals from multiple agencies across the community. CAP is served by our three debt coaches providing administrative support. We are especially grateful to them as they serve so faithfully in this role. , volunteer, started this year as our CAP Job Club Manager and we are very appreciative of his leadership of this.

The Church has many other ministries that touch the local community. One such area has been that of the ‘warm space’ led by . This has provided valuable support to many both in

and outwith the church. Normally the majority of members are involved in at least one area of church life on a voluntary basis involving more than 200 active volunteers.

The ‘Greenhouse Café’ continues to provide a useful space for church members to meet mid-week and be a place of reaching out into the community. We are truly grateful for our two Café Managers, , and their team of volunteers who support the work of the café and this area of service for members and the community alike.

At the end of this year we recognise that God has remained faithful through all the changes and challenges and we are thankful. As well as a large number of staff members, we value the many volunteers who work within the church, as their personal service and commitment to their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We thank God for them and all within the congregation, and together seek to serve him faithfully, and to honour his name wherever we may be.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

Financial Review

Principal sources of funding

The church receives its funding from church members by way of weekly offerings and Gift Aid donations, along with grants to support the Foodbank.

Results for the year

The financial statements for the year are set out in pages 12 to 32. Per the Statement of Financial Activities on page 12, the Church reported net income for the year of £9,987 (2024: £75,154). The Church’s Unrestricted General Fund had a deficit of £2,332 (2024: surplus £17,845).

Risk Management

The Trustees assess the major risks to which the Church is exposed on an ongoing basis and have established procedures to mitigate those that are identified as a result of these reviews.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain the general fund, i.e. unrestricted funds not committed or invested in fixed assets, at a level which equates to between 10-12 weeks of expenditure, as it is felt that this is prudent.

Unrestricted General Funds (page 12) at 31 January 2025 amounted to £285,175 (2024: £287,497) which represented about 34 (2024: 36) weeks’ unrestricted offerings and about 29 weeks (2024: 30 weeks) of expenditure.

Designated reserves amounted to £1,698,700 (2024: £1,700,772), including £1,395,932 (2024: £1,411,980) which relates to the net book value of fixed assets.

Restricted reserves amounted to £362,854 (2024: £348,473). The church’s total reserves amounted to £2,346,729 (2024: £2,336,742).

Plans for the Future

Since the year end there have been no significant changes in our overall vision and direction, and we seek God’s blessing on each ministry. As mentioned above we are seeking to invest in a small shop unit to facilitate the growth of our youth groups and there will be an additional outlay in the region of £100,000 for this. This has been agreed by the church council and church meeting and will include purchase costs and some minor renovations.

Structure, Governance and Management

Kirkintilloch Baptist Church is established by Constitution. The church is a registered Scottish Charity (Number SC013909) with OSCR. The church is congregational in policy and is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Scotland.

For the purpose of charity law, the church’s Trustees are recognised as the Charity’s Trustees. Its day-to-day running is overseen by the Trustees who are the accredited Ministers, the Treasurer, the Church Operations Manager, the Elders, the Deacons, and one member of the church not formally involved in a leadership role. The Trustees understood their statutory responsibilities during the accounting period.

The Trustees have appointed the ’Trustee Management Committee’ to facilitate the working of the Trustees more efficiently. This group includes,

Structure, Governance and Management (cont’d)

Appointment of Trustees

Appointment of trustees occurs in one of two ways. Firstly, for those elected by the church to serve in the Church Council the term of Trusteeship is fixed for 5 years. There are no restrictions on the number of times such a person can be re-elected. Secondly, for all other trustees there is no fixed term of Trusteeship.

Other than for accredited Ministers, new Trustees, prior to their appointment, would be active members of the church who would have served the church for some time in various roles and be familiar with the church’s values, aims and objectives as well as its day-to-day operations. As part of their induction programme, new Trustees are required to understand their statutory responsibilities and declare that they have no reason to be excluded as serving as trustees, in line with Charity Law.

Key Management Personnel

The key management personnel of the charity comprise the trustee management committee. The trustee management committee are not remunerated for their role as trustees, although the minister and associate ministers are remunerated for their work as Minister and Associate Minister (see note 6). The minister’s salary is set and agreed by the trustees. The trustees follow the recommended percentage increase by the Baptist Union of Scotland, the church meeting then endorses the increase.

Trustees’ Responsibilities in relation to Financial Statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.

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

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charity Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Kirkintilloch Baptist Church (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 January 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available to small entities in the circumstances set out in note 23 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 7, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

Report of the Independent Auditor to the Trustees for the year ended 31 January 2025

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud (cont’d)

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

Audit response to risks identified

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment for example through collusion, intentional misrepresentations, omission or forgery.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Assessment of Going Concern

Kirkintilloch Baptist Church is an unincorporated organisation in Scotland. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on pages 5-6 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are included in the trustees report on pages 1-7.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Going Concern

In common with other charitable organisations, Kirkintilloch Baptist Church is dependent on income from its donors, grant givers and other supporters to ensure its objectives continue to be achieved for the longer term. The charity has good relationships with funders and has no reason to believe that this will not continue in the current and future years. After taking all these factors into account, the charity Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Funds Structure

For the purpose of the Statement of Financial Activities as shown on page 12, funds are defined as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 January 2025

1. Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Income and debtors

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Debtors are valued at cost at the year end and adjusted for any amounts considered to be unrecoverable

Donated goods and services

Food donated is valued at an amount set by the Trussell Trust which was £2.77 per kg in 2025 and £2.37 per kg in 2024.

Expenditure and creditors

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated between the expense categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Creditors are valued at cost at the year end and split between amounts due in less than one year and amounts due in more than one year.

Charitable Activities

The expenditure on charitable activities includes grants made, governance costs and support costs as shown in the notes.

Tangible Fixed Assets and Deprecation

The church land is stated at the Trustees’ estimate of market value. The church hall which was built in 1980 is also stated at the Trustees’ estimate of market value.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Church land nil
Buildings 2% straight line
Sound equipment 20% straight line
Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line
Office equipment 25% straight line

Heritable property comprises the ‘old’ church hall and the new church building.

1. Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Stock

Greenhouse café stock is valued at cost, on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis.

Foodbank stocks of food are valued by weight, on a FIFO basis. The value is that set by the Trussell Trust which was £2.77 per kg in 2025 and £2.37 per kg in 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of twelve months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Cash held on deposit

Cash held on deposit includes deposits held at call with banks with maturities greater than 12 months.

Pensions

Pension costs represent the amounts or costs payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

The contributions paid towards retirement pensions and related benefits is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities when incurred.

Financial instruments

The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities qualify as basic financial instruments which are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank and other loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Judgements in applying policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to make estimates and assumptions which affect reported income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates, together with past experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates.

The trustees are satisfied that the accounting policies are appropriate and applied consistently. Key sources of estimation have been applied in determining the depreciation rates which have been deemed to be appropriate for the class of asset and in determining gifts in kind in relation to food donated.

14. Contribution of volunteers

In common with all congregations in the Baptist Church the congregation benefitted from the contribution made by volunteers who give their time and talents willingly for the benefit of the Church. The areas of congregational life which rely on the contribution of volunteers are many and varied and much of the activities would be unable to continue were it not for the commitment shown.

Fund Transfer Notes

  1. This transfer is towards renovations we were doing on the overflow hall and also in anticipation of future purchases.

  2. This transfer is an annual allocation to the fabric fund.

  3. This transfer relates to a surplus of donations/missionary support transferred to the furlough fund in anticipation of mission partners coming home during 2025.

  4. This transfer is an annual allocation to the fellowship fund.

  5. This transfer relates to the surplus on the keynotes fund following its closure, as it no longer operates within the church.

  6. This transfer relates to the movement in fixed assets.

23. FRC Ethical Standard - Provisions available for small entities

In common with many other organisations of our size and nature we use our auditors to prepare and submit returns to the tax authorities and assist with the preparation of the financial statements.
