An Equipping Grant seeks to develop the giftings of individuals within our EMBA churches. A grant seeks to enhance the skills and opportunities of individuals, to then benefit both themselves and the wider church in its mission and ministry.
- The maximum amount payable for any one grant is typically no more than 50% of the total cost.
- A church would not normally apply for an Equipping Grant more than once in any three-year period.
- All churches requesting a grant should already be meaningfully supporting Home Mission. All churches who receive a grant from Home Mission should be contributing to the wider Baptist family through Home Mission. Churches are encouraged to give 5% of their general income to Home Mission, with a minimum requirement of 4% for grant eligibility.
If you are interested in applying for an Equipping Grant, please speak to your Regional Minister before completing an application form
