Key takeaways

Buckhurst Hill Baptist Church makes grants to Christian organisations that are compatible with it, and its purpose is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with Baptist principles, so a Christian organisation whose work fits that purpose is the kind of group it is set up to consider.
The only exclusion stated is for organisations that are not compatible with the Church.
Its annual report shows £8,000 given in total, with £4,400 to individuals counted separately, so the pot is small and a modest request is more realistic than a large one, though no typical grant size is published.
No application process is published, so contact the Church first to ask whether your organisation is compatible before you write a full request.
Its registered area of operation is London, Hertfordshire and Essex, but no geographic focus is stated, so that registration alone should not rule you out.
