Support Services Update - June 2025

Dear Friends,

Many of our team recently spent time at the Baptist Assembly, serving in all manner of unfamiliar roles, including running a café. It was a blessing to be part of Assembly this year and we are so thankful to all who contributed to making it a wonderful event. You can read about 2025’s Assembly here The Baptist Union of Great Britain : Assembly 2025. This webpage includes information on sponsoring organisations who may be of interest or assistance to you, as well as reports, and information on the programme, presenters, and carbon offsetting. You can also find videos on YouTube, starting here…GRACIOUS GROWTH - Baptist Assembly address 2025.

Planning is already progressing apace for Assembly in 2026. For information, please click here The Baptist Union of Great Britain : Assembly 2026. We intend to have registration up and running much earlier than usual, hopefully by early Autumn 2025, and look forward to seeing you in beautiful Harrogate next May (15^th – 17^th).
Our monthly updates aim to provide you with helpful support in all aspects of your ministry. You may also find our tri-annual publication Transform useful. Click here for our most recent edition, and previous editions The Baptist Union of Great Britain : Transform and feel free to let us know if there are any topics you would appreciate articles or information on.
Thank you to those who have responded to our Home Mission Giving request. To help with the costs of our regional and national services we have always asked that our churches give at least 5% of their income to Home Mission and an explanation of the Home Mission Fund is available here The Baptist Union of Great Britain : Home Mission. 

This update includes:

• More tips from Baptist Insurance
• A Pension scam to be aware of
• Utility Aid's 'Green Energy Basket'
• A National Church Building Survey
• Information re: sustaining your minister's well-being
