The vision of the Baptist Union at this time is summed up in the word Increase.
The vast majority of voices in our country are predicting the inevitable decline of the church and the absolute triumph of secularisation, but we believe God has given us a different word.
By his power God has called us to increase in this generation. This vision is underlined for us in the message from God through the prophet Jeremiah to the Israelite exiles in Babylon: “Increase in number there; do not decrease.” (Jeremiah 29.6).
Every church has been provided with the video: A Call to Increase and we would encourage you to watch this and share with your church, small groups and fellowship. We believe that when the environment is inhospitable and there has been prolonged decline, the good news of Jesus still has the potency to flourish.
