Home Mission is the resource that keeps the national Baptist family functioning. It is the responsibility of all Baptist Churches to contribute to this. Click here to find out more about what happens to the money given to Home Mission.

In 2011 the total sum given to Home Mission by Churches in the East Midlands equalled £245,679.

BUGB Treasurer, Malcolm Broad, hopes that all Churches will be able to give at least 5% of their general fund income to Home Mission. Our aim as a Baptist Family is to raise 5 million by the end of 2012.

Every church that belongs to the Baptist Union or one of the Associations is supported by Home Mission - we all benefit so we should all contribute to the family purse.

Your giving makes good things happen - enabling the Gospel to reach new places in new ways enabling God's love and grace to transform lives!

>>BUGB Grants

Note that some of the churches listed are not actually receiving the money at the moment as there is no minister in post.

BUGB also give Mission Project Grants (formerly these were known as 'Against the Stream' and 'Green Shoots’ grants) in order to encourage and enable Baptist Churches to respond to the mission needs of their community as part of their ongoing work and ministry. These are one-off grants for new projects or new initiatives within existing projects. These projects must have a mission focus, in that their main aim should be to benefit people from the community which the church is seeking to serve. Any mission-focused project will be considered but priority will be given to

- innovative and creative evangelistic initiatives

- initiatives which are intended to help alleviate poverty or the effects of poverty
