Count me in is our personal giving scheme that supports new pioneer and mission initiatives. While we encourage churches to generously support our national Home Mission Appeal, we recognise that there are also individual members and NWBA supporters who want to make their own contribution. The vision behind our Count me in scheme is the realisation that if every member and regular attender of our NWBA churches gave £5 a month, all our shared costs would be more than covered. Each month we feature something that the average person might well spend £5 on and invite them to consider whether they might invest a similar amount in local mission. This month's feature is here:

Out in the garden?

You can support Count me in in two ways. Firstly you could consider whether you could make a regular gift of a minimum of £5 per month. You can download a standing order form through this link. You can also use our bank details from the form to set up a regular online bank transfer. Please do contact us if you are able to make this a gift aid donation, which enables us to claim tax back.

We recognise that everyone has different priorities for their giving, so even if you do not feel able to make a regular contribution yourself, could you help promote this scheme in your church? We have a regular series of posters, which can be downloaded or send on request by surface mail. You could also arrange a regular announcement when each monthly theme is published, or even highlight the scheme through social media.

Count me in has proved particularly attractive to supporters of NWBA who for various reasons are no longer able to regularly attend a Baptist Church but wish to retain their support for our shared mission. Please contact us if you would like to know more

All donations made through Count me in are directly invested in new and emerging mission situation. The commitment to regular giving enables us to guarantee future funding to pioneer situations, where we have yet to form a community of support. This scheme has enabled us to start new mission initiatives in North Wales, North Merseyside and Greater Manchester. You can also use the Count me in promotion materials to encourage church members to contribute to your local church Home Mission contribution.
