Partnering in Mission

Step into the Vision

Right now, as Victorian Baptists, we are embarking on an exciting chapter, fuelled by a new and bold vision for the next 50 years – a vision reflecting our heritage, but made for our future.

Our vision is to double the number of churches across Victoria in the next 50 years – to be a union of 500 flourishing churches, making disciples and transforming Victoria.

It’s Flourishing on Mission –

500 churches in 50 years.

 500 Flourishing Churches

  • Church Revitalisation
    Ensuring every one of our current 250 churches flourishing and on mission – Breathing new life into existing congregations, equipping them to thrive and serve their communities with renewed purpose and energy

     

  • Church Planting
    Church Planting to reach our growing population – Our vision is to double the number of Baptist churches across Victoria – Planting 5 new communities of faith each year that create spaces of hope, belonging and transformation.

Making Disciples

Developing the next generation of pastors and leaders to make disciples – building skills, resilience, and vision to lead boldly and build flourishing churches.

Transforming Victoria

Equipping our churches to have an impact on their local communities  – supporting churches with new ways to connect with local communities through community portraits and mission grant funding
