We want to play our full part in the wider church, offering the distinctive insights that reflect our Baptist way of being church, and contributing to the strengthening of Baptist witness throughout the world. 

BUGB is part of the worldwide Baptist family. We are members of both the Baptist World Alliance and the European Baptist Federation.  Faith and Unity oversees BUGB's participation in the gatherings of both bodies, appointing and sending representatives and receiving reports back. 

Ecumenically, BUGB is a member of the Conference of European Churches and the World Council of Churches. 

In partnership with Christian Aid and other agencies, we provide churches with opportunities and resources to engage in campaigning on such issues as poverty and climate change.  BUGB is one of the sponsoring churches of Christian Aid.  For more information, see their website.
