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.

Home Mission Contacts
Many churches appoint someone to be their Home Mission Rep who will share news about Home Mission with the church and encourage the church to give to Home Mission. 

They may:

• order special giving envelopes and collection boxes for individual donations to Home Mission
• encourage people to save their stamps and other collectibles for Home Mission
• facilitate a fundraising event
• invite someone in your Association to come to your church to speak about the exciting news of what is being accomplished through Home Mission
• share stories about how Home Mission is making a difference around our Union. 

For details about becoming a Home Mission Rep, please contact your association.
