Bath Christian Trust

Bath Christian Trust, established in 2000 and closely linked to Life Church Bath, is a faith-based charity dedicated to advancing the Christian faith, relieving poverty and hardship, and providing education grounded in Christian principles. Operating from its hub, The Forum in Bath, it embodies an evangelical ethos focused on seeking God's presence, gospel outreach locally and overseas, pastoral care, youth spiritual formation, and practical social action to serve church members and the wider Bath community. Governed by trustees upholding Christian doctrine, it mobilizes volunteers for worship gatherings, training initiatives, community events, and direct relief efforts, reinvesting venue-generated revenue into holistic transformation blending spiritual renewal and social support.

Its funding prioritizes internal church-based ministries, poverty alleviation, educational workshops, youth programs, overseas missions, and community engagement in Bath and North East Somerset, benefiting vulnerable individuals, families, and the general public through practical help and Christian values-driven activities. Expenditure emphasizes relief of distress, religious advancement, and support for affiliated initiatives rather than external grants.

Bath Christian Trust does not accept unsolicited applications from external organizations or individuals, restricting eligibility to Christian-aligned projects within Bath and North East Somerset; no specific entity types, income limits, or sizes are defined for outsiders, as funding flows internally or via pre-selected partners through informal relational networks. There are no open grant rounds, deadlines, application forms, or typical amounts—all decisions are internal, with no external grant programs.

Distinctively, it excludes generalist or non-Christian causes, focusing instead on integrated worship-mission-social action from a single local venue, setting it apart as a volunteer-driven, evangelical leader committed to sustained community presence and faith-motivated renewal without public funding cycles.
