Gospel Support and Homes Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Gospel Support and Homes Trust says it supports churches and Christian organisations irrespective of denomination, especially Bible-teaching ministries in churches being planted or renewed, so a church or Christian organisation doing that kind of work is the clearest fit.
- Its priority is London, and it also lists the UK.
- The register shows annual giving of £5,000, so a modest request is more realistic than a large one.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch using the contact the charity shows rather than sending a formal application.
- Organisations outside churches and Christian ministry do not match what the charity says it funds.
