Missionary Focus
….But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”…. Acts 1:8
Missionary Activities
An involvement in missionary activities has been a core feature of YBC’s Christian witness for many years.
As a Grace Baptist Church our primary, though not exclusive, missionary focus is on the work of Grace Baptist Mission, which is a church-based mission, helping Grace Baptist churches to support and care for their missionaries worldwide.
Grace Baptist Mission
Grace Baptist Mission is based in Abingdon, and works with local churches to support their missionaries in more than a dozen countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. They also have a radio ministry producing Bible-teaching programmes for listeners in both English and French, based in their radio studios in Abingdon and broadcast over numerous Christian radio stations worldwide.

Christian Influence in a Secular World.
At the exit of a church car park in Florida a large sign informs drivers that “You are now entering the Mission Field”. A gentle reminder that all Christians, wherever they are in the world, have a role to play in mission.
