As a church we are passionate about Mission, be it locally, nationally or beyond. As a church we financially support Home Mission and BMS, which are linked with Baptist Mission across the country and world wide, and have many members who support different missionaries around the world in different ways.
There are many events that we run as a church locally, which are part of local mission (Light Party, Family Fun Day, etc).
As a growing church, we haven’t had many venture on short term mission trips in recent years, but expect to see some of these trips develop over the next few years.
Home Mission
Home Mission is all about helping Baptist churches and individuals to reach their mission potential and bring the love of God to their communities. It is the Baptist family purse, and each year our Union has an appeal to raise money for Home Mission.
The money raised is used to fund:
Grants to local churches. These 200+ grants identified by regional associations include church planting, renewing local churches and mission project grants. Through Home Mission, hundreds of lives have been affected and many have found faith in Jesus. To find out about grants available to your church, please contact your regional association.
Regional Associations, who are engaged in missional development in their area, supporting new initiatives and churches and supporting the on-going work of churches and their ministers and families.
Three Specialist Teams to resource churches in their work through legal, ministries and finance support. In addition, representing the mission of God in national ways such as engaging with Government and speaking out on matters of faith.
BMS World Mission
BMS works among some of the most marginalised and least evangelised people, as well as those forced to flee home, in some of the most fragile places on earth.
