Ministry Team:
During the year. our pasto

proclaimin8 the gospel and maintaining pastoral care of those in need.
Our Chlldren & Women's worker

full-time teachin8. She contlnued to build up the HBC Kids team and 'Mainly Plav a group for parents and
toddlers, which meets weekly during term time and for which there is now a waiting list. In addition she has
continued work amongst the ladies in the church with 'Women in the Word, meeting weekly, again during
term time and holding Ladies, Afternoon Teas approximately once a term to which female friends who are
not normally church-goers, can be invited. We have established a strong connectlon wSth Wlggly Wonns, a
local nursery group and they use the church building for big occasion5 and continue with a monthly senlors
cafe in the church building as well. The ￿furbIShed church bulldlng forms a versatlle space and has been well-
used by groups both within and outwith the church. We thank Wfor all procedures put in place and are
grateful that she intends to carry on mafty duties voluntsrity.
While
oined the admin team in Jan 2024 unfortunately she had to resign her duties in January 2025
due to illiiess. We thank her for her support to the ministry team durlng that perlod.

Hawick Baptist Church SCIO
Annual Report 2024-2025
Change of premises:
In November 2024 the church took the decision to accept the offerfrom Hawick Congregational Church to gift
their premises in Bourtree Place to the church and for us to refurbish the premises so that we may move into
the building in 2026. We are grateful to the members of the congregational church for their generosity. The
premises will accommodate our increasing congregation and leave room for further growth. It also has the
benefit of an integral hall which can be used by HBC kids etc. rather than having to move across the road to
the Well. A team has been formed to oversee the Tefurbishment and a budget has been set of up to £300,000
as there are significant improvements that need to be made afthough the basic structure is sound.

Reserves:
The reserves poliry of the Church is that we hold sufficient funds to cover 6 months running costs, including
maintenance of the church buildings and funds towards the salaries of our ministry team. At the end of the
financial year the reserves stood at £282,943.08. These reserves were specifically allocated for the following
purposes:
£3,731.87 Fabric reserve, which is to cover expenditure on the maintenance of the property of the
Church, including the Church building and The Well (church hall)
£13.092.10 Stipend Contingency Fund, to cover any shortfall in payment of Stipend.
£30,889.62 in the Ministry Fund, to support future Ministry in the church, including our contribution
to Pastors-in-training
£18,062.18 in the Pastor-in-Training Fund. gifted to us by fellow Pillar Network churches to support
the training of new Pastors.
£3.298.60 in the Evangelism, Outreach and Discipleship Fund which goes towards our vision of
making and maturing followers of Jesus
£213,440.73 in our Capital Resenies Fund which comprises sale proceeds from 71, High Street (the
former café building), 2 substantial legacies which we received during the year, the remnant of the
Church Administrator Fund and a £10,000 gift. Most of this fund is expected to be used in the
refurbishment of the soon to be acquired former Congregational Church Building.
Our income derives chiefly from freewill offerings of the Church members and adherents, some of which are
given under the Gift-Aid scheme, so that income tax can be reclaimed on those gifts. This year we have
received two generous legacies from former members of the church, which sums together with
approximately £IOO,000 from the sale of our fornier cafe building are forming the basis of our funds to
renovate the Hawick Congregational Community Church building. We have also received donation5 from
fellow Pillar Network churches to help fund our Pastor-in-training during his 2-3 years with us. We have

experienced more people attendin& some of whom are also able to give under the Gift-Aid Scheme, with the
result that we have been able to reclaim more income tsx from HMRC We have also been able to benefit
from the Government's GASDS top-up scheme.
Donated facilities and
ices:
We depend on and benefit from the voluntary support of members and others in undertaking all sorts of
task% within the Fellowship, so many things cannot be included In facts and figures because they are not
reckoned In monetary terms. We thank everyone who does anything in the service of our Lord within this
Fellowship.
5. Other inforniation:
Our aims for the incoming year are:
To find new ways to interact with the community around us.
To see more new people coming along to Church activities and finding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
To continue the appointments of our Pastor and Pastor in Training and to have flexibility to employ
the necessary personnel to carry on the work already started and to expand into other areas of
service.
To work towards the church vision of making and maturing follower5 Of Jesus.
To support our Pastor as he tskes a 3 month sabbatical and to support our Pastor in Training as he
steps up to lead the church durin8 this time.
To ￿ach out into the local schools and assist in runnin8 Scripture Union 8roups in those schools.
It will be seen from this report, that the Church is in good heart, but realises the need to grow numerically,
splritually and in maturity, to seek new ways to rnake Jesus known, and to improve the pastoral care of our
community contacts.
