Baptists Together Pastoral Fund
Empowering acts of kindness
Some of the funds have come from money originally given to assist accredited ministers, including retired ministers and their widows. Investment growth has contributed significantly to the money that is now available. In addition the Spurgeon Memorial Trust has been dissolved and this capital was donated to support the new Pastoral Fund.
Eligibility
Applications are encouraged on behalf of, or from, any ‘Baptist Worker’. This will normally include people who are:
-
Accredited or non-accredited Baptist ministers or youth or family workers, in a BUGB church
-
Other people employed by a BUGB church, Association, College or by the Baptist Union
-
Mission workers working with BMS World Mission or other people employed by BMS.
Funds might be available for people who do not fall within these categories but only in exceptional circumstances.
Applications will not be accepted for student bursaries or sabbatical study.
Finance is limited and will be allocated according to priority based on individual need; we will not be able to agree to every request. Applications are welcome for grants up to £1,500.
