Our Four Key Causes
At Baptist Mission Australia we’re about four Christ-centred mission causes. These causes are pursued by our teams and mission partners in local communities across the world.
Flourishing faith communities
We yearn to see people become followers of Jesus and join locally led, contextual, multiplying, disciple-making faith communities.
Local community transformation
We join in God’s concern for justice, economic, health, ecological, education and employment challenges. With our partners we put our faith into action to implement initiatives that support holistic, local community transformation.
Passionate missional leadership
We come alongside local believers and ministry partners to support the development of missional leaders and to amplify global south voices.
Innovative partnerships
We value the importance of innovation and partnership, cultivating missional imagination in culturally and religious diverse Australia and across our rapidly changing world.
Flourishing faith communities
We’re supporting the formation, strengthening and multiplication of local disciple making faith communities, who are following Jesus in their own distinctive ways.
Local community transformation
We’re serving alongside others, putting our faith into action through community transforming initiatives that holistically address local poverty, health, justice, education, employment and climate challenges.
Passionate missional leadership
We’re coming alongside local believers and our partners to support the equipping of pastors, leaders and intercultural team members for missional leadership in our changing world.
Innovative partnerships
We’re fostering innovative expressions, which support intercultural missional imagination, collaboration and practice in multi-cultural Australia and across our rapidly changing world.
