The 2026 American Baptist Churches Directory and Planning Calendar is available for download. This helpful resource provides an at-a-glance guide for ministry planning across the American Baptist family, including key denominational dates, special observances, and opportunities for connection and prayer.
Designed as a practical and spiritual companion, the Directory and Planning Calendar provides contacts from across our denominational partners and assists pastors, congregational leaders, and ministry planners in organizing their weekly schedules while staying mindful of shared mission and ministry across the denomination.
“We are pleased to share this new edition of the Directory and Planning Calendar,” said Rev. Dr. Gina C. Jacobs-Strain, General Secretary of American Baptist Churches USA. “Each date on these pages represents an opportunity to pray, to serve, and to walk together as one body in Christ. My hope is that this calendar will remind us of our shared mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be United in Christ, Together in Mission.”
We invite you to download and use this calendar as a helpful tool for ministry coordination and reflection throughout the coming years.
