The principal purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £1,385.78 for the year, driven by a 7.6% decline in offerings, though this was partially offset by increased income from premises hires. The trustees note that while cash balances provide a buffer, falling membership is impacting income, leading to a reduction in the minister's stipend to ensure expenses remain covered.
