Armagh Baptist Church seeks to multiply its mission involvement by supporting and working alongside existing mission organisations. The Church recognises that each member of the body of Christ is called to mission and to live for God wherever He has placed us. For most of us, that will mean a commitment to live and witness in our home community.
The missions policy of Armagh Baptist Church sets out its mission principles and objectives, seeking to guide the Church in the recognition of those called by God into missionary service and to oversee the practical and prayer support for mission and missionaries. It also seeks to define the relative roles and responsibilities of the church, the missionary and the mission organisation in the partnership of mission.

Armagh Baptist Church has organised a series of missionary events for the remainder of this week. The theme for the week is ‘Church Planting: Home and Away.’
The first meeting will take place to-morrow night (Wednesday) at 8pm when the speaker will be William Brown from Irvinestown in County Fermanagh. He has worked as a missionary involved in church planting in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. He currently works with UFM International in Northern Ireland as their Churches in Mission Co-ordinator.
On Friday night the normal children’s and youth meetings will also have a missions focus. Children of primary school age will meet at 7:00pm and their speaker will be Stephen Hamilton who works for Child Evangelism Fellowship in the Dublin area. Also from 7-9pm the meeting for young people of secondary school age will be conducted by Lucy Thompson who served with New Tribes Mission in Papua New Guinea a few years ago. Lucy has an on-going interest in the work of this pioneer church-planting mission.
The speaker next Sunday morning at 11.00 am will be Paudge Mulvihill from Calvary Mission in Westport, Co Mayo. Paudge, together with one of our own members, Stephen Williamson (OMS Ireland representative) has a vision to see more churches planted in the West of Ireland in the coming years.
The visiting preacher at 6.30 pm on Sunday evening will be Derek Reid (an Associate of Baptist Missions) who is currently planting a church in the seaside town of Kircubbin on the Ards Peninsula as an outreach from Hamilton Road Baptist Church in Bangor.
Finally, after the evening service (at approximately 7.30pm), there will be a further meeting for young people of secondary school age when the visiting speaker will be Robert Cuthbert from Portadown who is Ireland Director for Ambassadors in Sport.
Members of the public will be warmly welcome at all these meetings which will be held in the Baptist Church building, on the corner of Markethill Road and Ardmore Road.
