Education is one primary goal, giving disadvantaged children and young people the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Community is another, with projects that extend help to people marginalised by poverty or prejudice.

Both are practical expressions of the Christian beliefs which have motivated this organisation for more than 50 years.

Blythswood shares the gospel at every opportunity, believing that it is for everyone - _For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life._ (John 3:16) Blythswood assists Christians and non-Christians alike, believing that everyone is precious in God's sight.
