Key takeaways

St Kea Church supports gospel-centred ministries and mission partners with prayer, money and practical help, and its stated themes are evangelism and acts of mercy, so a project built around those aims fits best.
Its geographic focus is given as international, but it also says it supports gospel partners locally and seeks a mix of local, national and international projects, so the focus is not a limit on who may apply.
The annual report gave no grants figure and no grant range is stated, so the size of request that suits it cannot be judged from the available information; ask only for what the project needs.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, through a brief written proposal setting out the project's nature and objectives, your own contribution and the support you seek, judged on clarity of aims, consistency with its Missions Policy and the applicant's own involvement.
Because it values longer-term links that avoid duplicating others' work, a project that does not match its Vision, Beliefs and Values or Missions Policy is unlikely to suit.
