A message from our General Secretary on the mission and future of American Baptist Churches USA.
The work of the Office of the General Secretary is shaped by three enduring functions — the ways we hold this national family together and send it forward.
Convening the Biennial Mission Summit and the table where regions, ministries, and congregations meet, listen, and discern together.
How we gather →Equipping pastors and lay leaders, sustaining regions and national organizations, and stewarding the resources entrusted to us.
How we support →Holding space for hard conversations — justice, peace, creation care — and amplifying American Baptist witness in the public square.
How we engage →From the United Mission Toolkit to our Annual Offerings, your giving sustains pastors, regions, and ministries serving across the country and around the world.
