As
American
Baptists we are a Christ-centered, biblically grounded, ethnically
diverse people called to radical personal discipleship in Christ
Jesus. Our commitment to Jesus propels us to nurture authentic relationships
with one another; build healthy churches; transform our communities,
our nations and our world; engage every member in hands-on ministry;
and speak the prophetic word in love.
As a people of prayer, purpose, and passion,
we 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.
Through the cross of Christ we embrace the
world as our neighbor. Our vision for mission energizes a multitude
of servant ministries of evangelism, discipleship, leadership, new
church development, social justice, healing peacemaking, economic
development and education.
