Put quite simply Home Mission is the Baptist family purse. Home Mission provides:
Funding for the thirteen associations
Each association has a team of regional ministers and other staff who support the local church pastorally, advise on mission and practical matters and organise a variety of useful training events. Find out more.
Funding for the national resource
The national resource centre at Baptist House in Didcot, Oxfordshire provides advice or help for all member churches on mission, ministry and communications matters, on legal and financial issues and also provides a variety of useful publications for Baptist churches and colleges. Many staff come from either professional (e.g. accountancy, finance, HR, legal, communications, secretarial, social work) or ministerial backgrounds and are all here to serve the Baptist family. Find out more.
Grants to churches and other organisations
This year around £1.9m will be given to churches and other organisations (mainly churches) to help them in their mission. Most grants are given to fund the cost of ministry but some are given to help start a variety of mission projects. Find out more.
All Baptist churches in membership of BUGB and/or one of the associations are asked to given generously to Home Mission so that the work and mission of all our churches can continue to grow and develop.
