Local and Global Mission
As a church we are committed to mission both locally and globally. Much of the financial support the church can give is headed up by a church-based team called Mission Focus. During the year Mission Focus meet together to administer the mission budget – normally 10% of the church’s overall budget – as well as organise visits from Mission Groups that we are able to support. As well as supporting the church’s partner missions – The Gap Project (local) and Global Challenge (Global) each year the church supports a number of mission groups.
Baptist 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. As part of the Baptist family QRBC support new initiatives as well as churches that need additional support to maintain their mission to the community in which they are placed.
Baptist Missionary Society
BMS works among some of the most marginalised and least evangelised people, as well as those forced to flee home, in some of the most fragile places on earth. QRBC has a long-standing commitment to BMS and its vision.
Bethany Children’s Trust
BCT is a Christian charity for children at risk in Africa and beyond. Focussing on projects which support children with disabilities or HIV, living on the streets or accused of witchcraft as a church we support their vision both individually and corporately.
Tearfund
