The theme of Baptist Assembly 2026 is United in Mission: gathering and sharing. A key element will be to continue our two-year process of discernment, dialogue, and engagement following the introduction of a proposed Mission Resolution at Assembly 2025. This proposed resolution, introduced by members of the Baptists Together Mission Forum, is designed to build a shared understanding of mission across the movement, with the goal of adopting the resolution at the 2027 Baptist Assembly.

Churches are encouraged to submit their reflections and stories via the Baptists Together Mission Resolution webpage. These stories will be shared at the 2026 Assembly to inspire and encourage the Baptist family - we'd love to welcome your church to Assembly 2026 and hear your story.

Penny Marsh, a member of the Mission Forum Steering Group, emphasised the importance of listening and learning from one another during this process. ‘This is an opportunity for us to discover more of the diverse and beautiful ways that Jesus is at work through us in our nation,’ she said.

Resources, including a short video, are available to help churches engage with the process. For more, visit the Mission Resolution area of the Baptists Together website.

Alongside the resolution, please see below for an idea of what to expect at United in Mission: gathering and sharing.

There will be Children and Youth Programmes available on the Saturday and Sunday, which need to be booked with Adult tickets in advance. There will be a creche available for pre-school children throughout the weekend.
