Welcome to our Autumn 2025 edition of TOGETHER.
This edition is focused around the theme of ‘Transforming’, our BUV Support Hub theme for 2025 and an important part of our vision statement “To be a union of 500 flourishing churches, making disciples and transforming Victoria”.
In our feature story we focus on Follow Baptist Church and the wonderful vote of confidence that their local council have expressed in the church. You’ll also find some other wonderful stories of transformative work churches are doing as they engage with their local communities.
As we look to our 50 year vision, we will ALL need to focus on building up our younger generations, who will be our future faith leaders. In this issue you’ll read stories of churches who are doing just that – prioritising the next generation, transforming lives as they both equip young leaders and, in turn, disciple young people, engaging them in faith.
You’ll also read stories of prayer, intercultural collaboration and church planting cohorts. You’ll find our Easter devotion resource and updates on pastoral movements, and news from some of our agencies. I hope you enjoy this update from around our Baptist Union as we continue together on mission.
God bless
Daniel
