gospelpartnerstrust.orgAbout Gospel Partners Trust
Gospel Partners Trust advances conservative evangelical Christianity in the UK and overseas, established in 2003. Its mission is to connect like-minded donors with gospel workers, equipping the next generation through preaching, church planting, and training. The Trust is leanly structured to maximise grant distribution, focusing on early-stage gospel initiatives and under-resourced communities. Rooted in a commitment to urgent gospel proclamation and doctrinal fidelity, it channels funds to ministries that might otherwise lack mainstream support.
What Gospel Partners Trust funds
The Trust funds faith-based work, specifically conservative evangelical Christian causes. It supports training the next generation of gospel workers, church new initiatives, ministry trainee schemes, theological college students, individuals in gospel training, and church-led projects such as evangelistic initiatives and church plants. Revenue costs for training, project delivery, and salaries are covered. The focus is on the UK, though international projects with a clear UK connection are considered. Priority is given to early-stage gospel initiatives and under-resourced communities.
Who can apply
Faith groups (churches, Christian charities, evangelical theological colleges) and individuals (trainees, theological students) are eligible. Applicants must align with conservative evangelical theology. The Trust prefers those who have mostly exhausted other funding sources. It prioritises under-resourced communities and early-stage gospel work.
What Gospel Partners Trust doesn't fund
Capital projects, emergency relief, and unrestricted core funding are not supported. The Trust rarely funds post-undergraduate masters or doctoral study, and rarely provides full project funding.
How they like to fund
Grants are awarded for one year at a time; multi-year funding cannot be guaranteed. The Trust prefers applicants to have mostly exhausted other available funding sources. It typically offers partial contributions towards costs, funding revenue costs for training and new ministries.
