Mainstream - Baptists for Life & Growth Mainstream (renamed Fresh Streams in 2011) began in 1978 as a ‘ginger group’ within the Baptist Union "to encourage, co-ordinate, publicise and support every venture that will lead to further life and growth." Over the years it became a Word and Spirit network of church leaders, largely Baptist, "passionate about God, real in relationships, getting stuck into God’s mission". It is reproduced by permission of the current editor. Visit the Fresh Streams website here.
