mission partners

We seek to give away a tenth of our unrestricted income towards mission partners locally, nationally and internationally.

We believe that internationally, there is a renewed call for the Church to stand with the orphan, the widow, the poor, the persecuted and the exploited - so our international focus with IJM, LIV, Open Doors, and Tearfund are exemplars of that heart, and we as a church have long-standing relationships with each of these partners.

Nationally, we are seeing new people turning to faith and a renewed curiosity in the love of God in our land. We are partnering with national agencies who are equipping the church to respond, and working to spread the good news: CPAS, Fusion, and Scripture Union.

Locally, we are re-committing to “Love Worcester” as part of our church’s vision. We are drawing upon long-standing work in this city which has been putting care for the marginalised, and proclamation of Jesus at the heart. Our partners in Worcester are: Worcester Street Pastors, 4Front Theatre and Maggs Day Centre.

In 2025-2026, here’s how we as a church engaged with our mission partners:

  • We sent two groups, totalling fifteen, to LIV Village, Durban, for some life changing encounters;

  • We committed to loving worcester by raising up a local mission partner champion, and adopting our high street in prayer;

  • We hosted a carol service to mark 40 years since Maggs Day Centre was begun;

  • We ran a second Festival of Mission to celebrate our partners and the work of God in our midst.


In our current cycle, which lasts from 2025-2027, these are our 10 mission partners:

CPAS - a national partner that equips its partner churches to develop a faith-sharing culture
Tearfund - an international partner seeking to end extreme poverty through the work of the local church
Open Doors - an international partner praying for the persecuted church worldwide
IJM - an international partner protecting those at risk from trafficking, slavery and violence
Scripture Union: Perranporth Beach Mission - a national partner that shares Jesus on the beach over the summer holiday
Fusion - a national partner to connect students to local churches they can call home
Street Pastors - a local partner demonstrating love by keeping people safe on Worcester’s streets
