...for this time and for the time to come American Baptist Women's Ministries is for these exciting days. We are building on our rich biblical heritage of faith and service, while we are also signaling renewed commitment and strength. More than just another organization. A new way of understanding who we are and what we do.
God calls us to ministry in today’s world:
As women;
Within families;
Within the body of Christ, the church;
In our communities with a mosaic of peoples;
With our global neighbors to share a vision of justice and peace.
As the circumstances of our lives change, the ways we organize for Christian mission and service also change. Our organization's ministry focuses on mission, service, stewardship and discipleship. We continue to build on the strength of valued programs such as White Cross, Love Gift and Guild. At the same time, a flexible new structure opens doors to increased involvement in ministry.
Our Focus:
People and Ministry
American Baptist Women’s Ministries is an inviting organization open to the needs of women. We focus on people and ministry rather than organizational structure. Each woman may choose to participate according to her needs, interests and gifts as she is led by the Spirit of God.
We focus on:
Personal Development Ministries
providing opportunities for each woman to become and develop as God's person: deepening her faith, developing her gifts and becoming a more effective Christian disciple and steward. (Romans 12:1-2)
Church and Community Ministries
providing opportunities for women to build God’s faith community: developing relationships and meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others in their homes and their communities. (Ephesians 4:25-16 and Luke 4:16-19)
Mission and Service Ministries
providing opportunities for women to serve God’s world; participating in American Baptist mission outreach and meeting the physical and spiritual needs of others in our nation and in God's world. (Mark 12:28-34)Join with us in ministry.
Our Mission Statement
In commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
and to the mission of the Church,
and through the enabling of the Holy Spirit,

become and develop as God’s person
build God’s faith community, and
serve God’s world.
