Key takeaways

Its giving is grouped under mission partnership, Romania mission and parish mission, so work that is church-based, parish-based or connected to a mission partner is the clearest fit.
The annual report gives only one total of £37,511, which may include grants to individuals, and shows no grant range or typical amount, so keep any first request modest and ask about likely size before assuming one.
No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown rather than send a formal application.
The report gives no timing for decisions, so ask about timing when you make contact.

What they fund

Priority Areas

St John's describes a vision of seeing its lives and its city transformed by the love of Jesus, and says its activities flow from that desire. The recorded giving is grouped under mission partnership, Romania mission and parish mission, and the report describes those supported collectively as mission partners and organisations. On the website it describes activities ranging from Sundays and use of its community centre to children's groups and serving the town. The available grant descriptions therefore indicate support for mission partners and church and parish mission, including recorded work connected with Romania.
