Home Mission

In simple terms Home Mission is how the Baptist family funds itself. It is the way that member churches of the Baptist Union of Great Britain support and resource one another. Home Mission provides funding for each of the thirteen regional associations and it also funds the national resource. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Home Mission is the way that churches and church-related ministries are supported. If an individual church is unable to afford it themselves they can apply for a grant through Home Mission.

The Bridgnorth Children’s festival is just one example of how a Mission Project grant from Home Mission has helped churches reach their communities.

BMS World Mission

BMS World Mission is a Christian mission organisation, working in around 35 countries on four continents. BMS personnel are mainly involved in church planting, development, disaster relief, education, health, and media and advocacy.

Tragedy, violence and poverty: sadly these are realities for many young people living in tough conditions in parts of northern Brazil.

However, sorrow turned to joy and despair to hope for ten teenagers in Trapiá on Easter Sunday when they were baptised by BMS workers.

The Leprosy Mission

The Leprosy Mission England and Wales is an international Christian development organisation which is autonomous and works as part of The Leprosy Mission's worldwide family. Our overall vision is a world without leprosy, and our priority for the future is to stay focused until the work is finished, helping people in England and Wales to understand the disease and encouraging them to support the Mission.

Motivated by God's love and concern for people affected by leprosy as reflected in our mission statement, with a holistic view, addressing the physical, social, economic and spiritual needs of individuals and their communities. All services are provided regardless of religion or ethnicity. Jesus' ministry inspires that every person everywhere has a right to a hope and a future. It is unacceptable that many people affected by leprosy are denied this because of social exclusion or poverty. The Leprosy Mission works with partners in around 30 countries to bridge this gap of inequality.
