Gospel Partners Trust
About This Funder
Gospel Partners Trust, a registered charity in England and Wales established in 2003, advances conservative evangelical Christianity in the UK and overseas, prioritizing under-resourced communities and ministries lacking mainstream support. Its mission connects like-minded donors with gospel workers, equipping the next generation through preaching, church planting, and training, rooted in core values of urgent gospel proclamation and doctrinal fidelity. Distinctive for its lean structure maximizing grant distribution and partnership model with regional Gospel Partnerships, it channels funds to catalytic early-stage initiatives for long-term church health.
The Trust funds ministry trainee schemes, theological college students, individuals in gospel training, and church-led projects like evangelistic initiatives, church plants, and collaborative gospel efforts. Support targets revenue costs for training and new ministries, with 2024 examples including £76,500 for pre-college training, £137,700 for theological colleges, £214,200 for people in training, and £102,000 for gospel projects, favoring Anglican and non-Anglican conservative evangelical recipients.
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities, academic institutions (e.g., evangelical theological colleges), and individuals with strong UK ties; overseas work is rarely funded without clear UK connections. No strict income limits apply, but it prefers grassroots churches and trainees underserved by other sources. Applications are unsolicited via email to administrator Alan Bright, requiring detailed budgets, references (sent directly), and fundraising plans—no formal form. Trustees meet quarterly, with an October deadline for November review; decisions take 8–12 weeks. Typical grants average £2,000–£3,000 as partial contributions.
Exclusions encompass capital projects, emergency relief, unrestricted core funding, and post-undergraduate masters/doctoral study. Uniquely theology-driven, UK-centric, and pipeline-focused, it differentiates from ecumenical funders by insisting on conservative evangelical alignment and strategic gospel impact.
