Guideline Leaflet C01: Charity Legislation and Churches


All Baptist churches are individual charities in their own right.  This applies whether or not the church has registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.  As charities, churches are subject to the requirements of charity law.  The implications of charity law for a church are explained in this leaflet.
