Office of the DoMM

The Director of Mission and Ministries (DoMM) holds responsibility for setting and championing the vision, mission and strategic activities of the Baptist denomination in Victoria, communicating this through major events, preaching engagements in local churches and through written communication. The DoMM is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the health of churches within the Baptist Union with the goal of seeing all churches in the union flourishing and filled with Christlike followers, who join with God in transformative work throughout Victoria.  

A critical part of the DoMM’s role involves managing relationships and ensuring alignment with Pastors and leaders of Victorian Baptist churches as well as various stakeholders, including other state DoMM’s, heads of our Victorian Baptist agencies and national affiliates, and national and global Baptist bodies. The DoMM actively encourages collaborative initiatives between these entities and also leads efforts to advocate on issues of justice through the development of resources and support for churches, ensuring that these initiatives are in line with the denomination’s mission. The DoMM represents Baptist Churches in the public sphere on issues that Victorian Baptists have discerned together.
