'the advancement of religion'

The Bonar Trust seeks to develop and support gospel ministry training across the church in Scotland. We recognise that training gospel workers is the responsibility of local churches in partnership with training providers. Accordingly, the Trust does not deliver training as such, but supports and encourages a culture of training by supporting trainees and partnering with training churches, training providers and other organisations. Our primary functions are to provide matched and means-tested funding to individuals undergoing gospel ministry training, and an all-round series of conferences and events for trainees and church trainers

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The objects for which the Company is established are throughout Scotland and elsewhere in the world to advance the Christian religion and to encourage, provide support to and promote (a) Christian ministries, (b) the teaching of the Bible and Christian evangelism and (c) training and education in, and the development of Christian faith.
