PAULSGROVE BAPTIST CHURCH
POLICIES AND NOTICES
In this section you will find more of the documentation which supports the church activities. A lot of this is legally required so that we meet the requirements of bodies such as the Charity Commission. We are in the process of refreshing this content as part of our transition to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which took effect on 1st January 2024.
We meet regularly as a membership to hear reports from the Leadership team, receive updates on matters in progress and to vote to approve various matters as required by the Rules and Constitution. Minutes of meetings are circulated to Members of the church shortly after the meeting and are reviewed and approved at the following meeting, with an update given of any 'matters arising' from them.
Our next Partners meeting will be held on MONDAY 29th July 2024, 7.30pm.
The Agenda is:
Welcome and Praise
Minutes of Last Meeting (15th April 2024)
Updates and Prayer:
1. Finances and Resources
2. Sunday Services
3. Discipleship
4. Mercy Ministries and Community Outreach
5. Mission Partners
Other than to approve the minutes, the intention of the meeting format is to receive short reports (2 minutes or so) from each of the five headings listed, and follow each report with intercessory prayer for that area of ministry. The intention is that the meeting will not exceed 1 hour in duration.
FINANCE
Our annual accounts are available through the website of the Charity Commissioner. If you would like to know more about the details please contact the Church Treasurer.
Church members can claim expenses or request payments for activities relating to the Church. We also encourage members to supplement their giving by signing a Gift Aid Declaration (if they are a UK income tax payer) as this increases the value of the gift by 25% with no cost to the giver. The forms are here:
If you would like to donate money to the church in an easy way with no cost to you please visit www.givingabit.com, register as a member and when you shop through them they will donate money to the church.
