Thanks again for a Magnificent May Mission Month in 2021!
For over 100 years, May has been the month of special mission focus for our Australian Baptist Churches. The heart of this initiative is still core to our mission today – partnering with the vital, passionate and dedicated people who serve across the world, sharing the Good News with people in ways that make sense to them in their culture, local community and language.

We want to submit a heartfelt thank-you to all our Victorian churches for another month-long celebration and generous support of God’s mission across cultures, across the world.

18 months ago, our Baptist family gave generously to help people affected by the Bushfires across Victoria.

Whitley College is happy to announce that Rev Professor René Erwich has been reappointed as Principal for a second term by the Baptist Union of Victoria.
