HMF (Home Mission Fund)

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.

 

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.

 

Grants to churches and other organisations

Grants are given to 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. 
 

Rickmansworth Baptist Church supports Home Mission through an envelope scheme, by special events and by committing itself to give a minimum sum each financial year.
