About the Baptist Union of Victoria

The Baptist Union of Victoria (BUV) is a movement of over 250 churches, communities of faith, agencies and affiliates committed to being in association together on mission, throughout the state of Victoria.

We are grass-roots people, with a particular emphasis on the local church. Our churches range in size from a small number of members to several thousand and are located through all corners of our state. Although each Baptist church is governed autonomously, Baptists have always believed in associating with one another – and so, we come together as an association or union of churches joined by our Baptist agencies and affiliates who work in our local communities and support our churches, to be together on mission.
