A Mission Partnership Grant (MPaG) is provided to help a Baptist Church, pioneering ministry or ecumenical partnership including Baptists, to engage effectively in mission by supporting a minister, minister in training, or other worker. The main focus for this person will be to lead the church ministry forward in mission. Their priority must be helping the ministry to reach out to their local community in whatever way is most appropriate in their context.
At the heart of this mission partnership grant is a genuine partnership between each grant recipient and the EMBA, mainly expressed through a Mission Accompanier (MA) who will journey with a church / pioneering ministry throughout the grant period.

NOTE: You may be aware that our Home Mission Fund is facing significant challenges at present and it is likely that funding to our association will be cut significantly over the next few years. In response to this the EMBA is undergoing a financial review and although it is our intention to continue to offer grants as previously, we cannot guarantee the same level or duration of funding. We will keep churches updated as much as possible during this period of uncertainty. Any questions or concerns please talk to your Regional Minister. In between times, please encourage your church to give generously to Home Mission.
