We are not loners at Abbey - we associate with various organisations and we support a number of central Christian charities. Here are a few examples.
Baptist Union of Great Britain Abbey Baptist Church is a member church of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and of the Southern Counties Baptist Association. By our giving, we support smaller churches through the Home Mission Fund. We are linked in mission with our sister churches in the region and are represented in various tasks and groups in the Southern Counties.
BMS World Mission We are supporters of BMS World Mission in its partnership work with Christians across the world. By our giving, we share in providing financial resources for many worthwhile projects undertaken by the BMS and its partners.
Regents Park College, Oxford We support the work of ministerial and theological education by gifts to our regional Baptist College. Members of the church are personally engaged in a number of the program’s provided by Regent’s Park. There is a special link with the faith and culture modules at the college.
Christian Aid and Fair Trade We are committed to supporting the work of Christian Aid and Tradecraft. We purchase and use, whenever possible, fairly traded products. In this way, we hope to show a practical care for growers and producers in the poorest countries who often find the scales of world trade loaded against them. The cup of coffee or tea you drink at Abbey will be fairly traded and we are eager to let you know which supermarkets and stores sell them.
REinspired We support the work of this organisations whose goal is “For local churches to become fully engaged in supporting local schools in the religious education and spiritual development of their pupils.”
