Objectives and Activities

We exist to ‘make Jesus known in Baillieston and beyond’ . We want the people of Baillieston (and beyond) to find HOPE in the true message of Christianity, the Gospel. As part of this we want to engage with our community and help bring hope through social, emotional and spiritual means.

We do this in many ways including; worshipping together on a Sunday morning, engaging in youth/children’s, womans’, and mens’ work in the community, helping community members as they battle addictions / hardship and running activities that provide space for community members to feel welcome and part of the wider community.

We have engaged with people from Baillieston (and beyond) since we commenced as a church in June 2025 and have encouraging stories of people with whom we have been able to share this HOPE through the church, as we sought to point them to Jesus and get alongside them as a community.

We also partner with 20schemes in order to help communities ‘beyond’ Baillieston, by working to find places and train people for these places so what has happened in Baillieston Community Church might happen in other places in Glasgow and the West of Scotland also.

Structure, Governance and Management

Constitution

We are governed by a written constitution that was approved by OSCR on 14[th] May 2025.

Trustee recruitment and appointment

We have four permanent trustees, one of whom, Michael Davis, serves as the pastor of the church, with the other three trustees supporting him, spiritually and administratively.

Achievements and Performance

The Lord continues to bless us here in Baillieston. Working through Mark’s gospel in our Sunday morning services, and the book of Psalms at our Monday evening prayer and Bible studies. We have found these to be fruitful times, both for new and older believers and for the visitors we have had.

Since we commenced as a church in June 2025, we have had 2 new members joining us. We are thankful to God that all our members have been fully engaged in our mission to reach the lost in Baillieston since launch, and even before launch when we were meeting weekly as a “plant team”.

It was an immense blessing to us to have been sold the building we now meet in, Hope Hall, a former meeting hall for a brethren assembly in Baillieston for many years, at a substantially reduced price. The church took ownership of this building in January 2026 and this is something we praise God for. We plan over the coming years to carry out various improvements to the structure and interior of the building in order to make it more conducive to our needs. These will include repairs to the car park and an upgrade to the kitchen amongst other things, as the Lord gives help.

Our ministries in Baillieston are going well as we continue to engage with local people by means of a monthly community meal, weekly kids clubs, both in the hall and in the local primary school, regular ladies paint nights and a weekly mens games night. We also have the opportunity to hold a monthly service in a local care home with the kind permission of the management and staff of the care home.

Our main income has been from donations of our members and grants from 20schemes.

Our own ministry expenses now all go through our own bank account, rather than as in previous years, when they were paid to us indirectly and exclusively by 20schemes and the monthly “running” overheads were also paid “centrally” by 20schemes Over the next year we hope to obtain a better understanding of how our funds, both from members ’ donations and 20schemes monthly grants, can be best used and differentiated, as we seek to make Jesus known in Baillieston and Beyond.

More detailed Profit & Loss accounts are available on request with information on the donations in and expenses paid out.

Future plans

In addition to our pastor Mike Davis, his wife is also involved in both the ladies paint nights and the weekly children’s bible club in the local school. Additionally, we have three 20schemes workers working alongside us. Lorna is a part-time worker who acts as our Children’s and youth worker. Robert is a part-time intern who acts as a church support worker. Chris is a part-time Ministry Apprentice who is r esponsible for organising our care home ministry and mens’ games nights and also helps with preaching.

As a church, we look forward to the next year to see how these can continue to utilise and grow their “ spiritual gifts” as well as encouraging others of our church members to get involved in all of these ministries.

	The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
	My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
	In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that disclosed on the attached page*] 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. .
