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 helps fund:
During 2014, the churches of our association gave a total of £416,620 which exceeded our target of £410,000, for which we give thanks to God for your generosity.
- Grants to local churches - these 200+ grants 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
- Regional Associations - who are engaged in missional development in each area, supporting new initiatives and churches, and supporting the on-going work if churches and their ministers and families.
- The thee Specialist Teams - to resource churches in their work through legal, ministries and missional support. In addition, representing the mission of God in national ways such as engaging with the Government, speaking out on matters of faith and developing national mission initiatives.

SCBA Home Mission Community Day
On 1st October 2016 Southern Counties Baptist Association had its first Home Mission Community Day.
We entitled the day 'Walking Together, Stepping Out'. This phrase encapsulated the vision not only for this day together but for the development of our SCBA Home Mission Community.

South West Partnership Home Mission DVD
A new DVD has been produced focussing on individuals who have seen the benefits that have come to a community as a result of Home Mission support.
A team from the South West partnership (WEBA, SCBA & SWeBA) have worked together to produce a DVD called Partners in the Gospel, showing the benefits that can be achieved as a result of Home Mission support.
The DVD contains six short films which in most cases show how individuals have benefited from a Home Mission grant but weren’t necessarily the people who had applied for the grant. The DVD also contains a shorter compilation video, What difference are we making?, and a short film - Prophetic Harvesting - reflecting on the mission challenges and opportunities presented as thousands of new homes are being built across our region.
If you would like a copy of the Home Mission DVD, please contact Amy Allen at SCBA, at office.administrator@scba.org.uk
