Key takeaways

Its giving is framed around Christian mission, so work in its listed themes (scripture translation, Bible access, Christian training, environmental protection, poverty relief and development, and youth work) is the closest fit.
No grant range is stated, and the two grants named are £4,800 to the European Christian Mission for an individual and £2,400 to Tearfund, so a modest request is safest until you know more.
No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so contact the church before preparing a full proposal.
Its support goes largely to partners it already lists, so a cold approach is unlikely to be the normal route, and it is not stated whether it considers unsolicited requests.
No exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated.
