Mission partners

We are committed to partnering with mission agencies across the world. Whilst we support a myriad of different initiatives and projects, we have agreed to specifically focus on eight for the period 2024-26.

These projects are supported through a tithe (10%) on our general giving, in prayer and through partnership initiatives.
