Building the Worldwide Church

At HT, the call to be part of God's world-wide church is taken seriously, as is Jesus' great commission to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28). As a church we give a proportion of our income to help the work of missionaries and Mission Agencies across the world as well as here in the UK. We also look to encourage people to see if God is calling them to the mission field and help them as they explore that calling.


HISTORY

Holy Trinity Church has a wonderful history of pioneering world mission. The most famous vicar of Holy Trinity, Charles Simeon, had a deep concern for Missions. He was one of the founders of the Church Missionary Society in 1799, and raised up several missionaries.

One of Simeon's curates was Henry Martyn, after whom the hall adjacent to the Church is named. He was a brilliant linguist and in under five years as a missionary in India he had translated the New Testament into Urdu and Persian, and supervised its translation into Arabic. He died in Armenia in 1812, aged only 31. Martyn has encouraged many future missionaries through his translations of the Scriptures, inspiring life and work and stimulating scholarship.


MISSION FUNDING

Every year in September HT decides where to allocate major missions funding. Please look at the links below if you are going on mission and would like to apply for support, or if you would like to recommend projects for HT to support.
