GREAT BRITAIN
Baptist Union of Great Britain
Our vision as a movement is to grow healthy churches in relationships for God mission. We believe our churches are called to be Beacons of Hope in their communities, sharing the good news of Jesus in the places he has put us.
The Baptist Union of Scotland was born out of local churches realising that, in order to fulfil the commission that Jesus has given to His disciples, it is better to work together than continue alone. What holds us together in this vision is our acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as Lord and head of the church; and that He communicates to us, through the Holy Spirit, in directing us according to Father’s will. We hold the Bible as central to all that we say and do, through faith in Jesus Christ. We stress our dependence upon God and interdependence with one another, as we seek to work together in sharing the Gospel with people in our land of Scotland and, in fellowship with other churches that confess Jesus and share in our Principles, seek to reach out in love to allpeoples, everywhere, across the world.
The Baptist Union of Wales exists to promote the Christian faith within Wales. We are Union of Associations working across the breadth of Wales among some 400 churches serving both Welsh and English speaking communities in villages, towns and cities across Wales. We believe that the love of God ultimately expressed through Jesus has the power to transform individual lives, whole communities and the life of our nation.
BMS works among some of the most marginalised and least evangelised people, in some of the most fragile places on earth. We aim to bring life in all its fullness through seven key ministries: church, development, education, health, justice, leadership and relief.
