The Baptist Union of Scotland is a network of over 150 churches across the length and breadth of Scotland. We are local churches who recognise that if we are to fulfil the commission Jesus has given his disciples, it is better to work together than continue alone.
We are a relational network who support one another through prayer and encouragement. We share resources and experience in mission. We equip and accredit leaders. We work together to develop vision and ensure legal compliance.
Immanuel, God With Us
Advent 2023
We will be sharing stories of ways that God has answered prayers over this last year and would love to hear from you!
Where has God surprised you?
How have you experienced His love, joy, peace or hope?
What difference has prayer made to the life of you, your church or your circumstances?
Let’s encourage one another this Advent season, increasing our faith and sharing about the goodness of God!
Want to get involved? We’d love to hear from you…
Find out more about Advent 2023 here!
All sessions from Canopy Autumn are available to watch again!
Do feel free to use the material again in your churches and house groups to explore what Being God’s Image and Increase could look like in your context!

*NEW* Church Planting Course
Have you been wondering what all this talk about church planting is? Perhaps you have a wee inkling toward church planting and want to think about it more? Has God stirred you about church planting, but you don’t know what the next steps should be? Is your church looking to Increase through church planting?
Well, the good news is we have a course for you. As part of our Increase vision, we have spoken about our “three P’s”, Prayer, Planting and Pathways. We are delighted to offer the first part of our church planting pathway, our Church Planting Course, a partnership with Forge Scotland.
Click here to find out all about it, we’d love you to get involved!
