Ministry Partners

American Baptist Churches are healthy missionary churches that nurture devoted disciples of Jesus Christ who live their lives in mission and ministry for the healing of the world through the love of God. As a people of prayer, purpose, and passion, they are in the forefront of creating a community of faith where people of every race, nationality and culture gather as one in worship, service and work.

  Since 1985, the mission of the American Baptist Foundation (ABF) is to support and strengthen the Christian witness fulfilled by our partners in ministry and mission.

Our gift planning and financial services offer a convenient resource aimed at reducing duplication of efforts while enhancing the effectiveness in increasing the financial resources for the American Baptist witness for Christ in the future.
