**What the charity does:** The Baptist Union of Scotland is a network of about 160 churches across the length and breadth of Scotland. We are local churches who recognise that if we are to fulfil the commission Jesus has given his disciples, it is better to work together than continue alone. We are a relational network who support one another through prayer and encouragement. We share resources and experience in mission. We equip and accredit leaders. We work together to develop vision and ensure legal compliance. We have existed as a network since 1869, though some of our churches have been in existence since the 1750s. Our ambition is to see Increase and we are focusing on four strategic priorities: Prayer-  defining ourselves as a prayer network Planting Churches- investing in new congregations, revitalisations and innovative new churches Developing Pathways-  for training and equipping church planters and evangelistic leaders Younger– we have an intentional commitment to invest in young people
