Mission Partners in the UK
Tom and Anna Cunliffe, The Oakes
The Oakes is a Christian activity centre offering action-packed holidays for young people aged 8 to 18 - and a place where many hear the gospel for the first time.
Tom joined the team in 2024, bringing ten years of experience as a primary school teacher in Leeds. He's being equipped to lead at a new Oakes centre - learning the ropes behind the scenes as well as programming and speaking on camps.
Anna is an anaesthetist who came to faith at The Oakes as a teenager and served on Impact Team in 2007–2008. The family live in Leeds, and together with their three children - Finn, Rowan and Erin - they love getting outside and exploring. The Cairngorms is a firm family favourite.

Benny Seeds, UCCF
UCCF is a charity working to give every student in Great Britain the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel. They support and equip university Christian Unions, with a vision to see students delight in Jesus deeply together, declare him more boldly and display him more fully in every area of life.
Benny has been UCCF Staff Worker in Leeds and Huddersfield since 2025, supporting multiple CUs across the two cities. Before that he worked in children's and youth ministry, including with Redeemer Youth - so he's very much part of the family. He now attends Crossway Church his wife Mary and their son Barney.

Scott Hall Church
Scott Hall Church is a warm, all-age church based in the heart of the Scott Hall estate in Leeds. With around fifty members from all walks of life and a range of nationalities, they have a strong heart for their community and a desire to see their neighbours come to know Jesus.
Brad Balmer - one of our elders - gives three days a week to support the work at Scott Hall. It's a partnership we're grateful for, and a tangible expression of our commitment to gospel witness across the city.
If you're in the area, the church would love to meet you. Their Connect all-age service runs on Sundays at 12:00, with tea and biscuits from 11:30.

Crossway Church, East Leeds
Crossway Church is a church plant serving the people and communities of East Leeds. It was planted out of Redeemer in September 2025 - a natural expression of our long-standing commitment to seeing new churches take root across the city.
Over a number of years, members of Redeemer moved and settled in Crossgates and the surrounding areas, and others already living locally joined them. Out of that gradual gathering, Crossway was born. Alex Passmore was sent by Redeemer to lead the new church family. We're excited to see what God does through Crossway, and we're cheering them on!

The De la Hoyde Family, France
Del and Laura have a long connection with Redeemer - they helped to plant Grace Church in Boroughbridge at the same time as Redeemer itself was being planted. Our friendship has lasted ever since! In 2015 they were sent to France, and have been serving in the disadvantaged east of Paris ever since.
Del helps lead their church in the 20th arrondissement, with a particular focus on biblical counselling and one-to-one ministry, and is actively sharing the gospel with people in the local area. Laura runs an evangelistic literacy ministry among immigrant women. Elsa, Jethro, Zac and Owen are all involved in the Christian Union movement, leading evangelistic Bible studies and activities among their peers.
We're grateful for the De La Hoydes and pray regularly for their work in one of Europe's great cities.

Mission partners supported through Agape UK
We support overseas missions in the Middle East through
Agape UK. The hope that Jesus offers transcends culture and nation states; it has the potential to bring healing and peace, on a global scale, that nothing else in the world can! In the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, Jesus’ very last words to His followers were an appeal for them to share this hope, not just with their friends and family around them, but with the whole world!
