United Mission
American Baptists have always been a people of mission; mission is in our DNA.  Our United Mission (UM) contributions give concrete expression to this impulse and help us to be the hands and feet of Christ – from the local congregation to all parts of the world.  It is through UM, our one family offering, that each giver is able to participate in the total ministry of our American Baptist family.

A Stewardship Minute from Parish Publishing

This month’s issue of Stewardship brings to light that the secret of living an abundant, joyous life comes as we live one will and that “one will” is the will of God. Living any other way is to struggle in a lost and confused state, and with the nagging feeling that life should be better than it is. That includes being whom God wants us to be, doing what God wants us to do, having what God wants us to have, and giving what God wants us to give.

Prayer: Lord of all, grant us the courage and the will to be what you want us to be and to do all you want us to do. Amen.
