"For the love of Christ urges us on...." --2 Corinthians 5:14.15 Since 1832, American Baptist Home Mission Societies, American Baptist Churches USA has been spreading the Good News of God's love across the United States by preaching the gospel, planting churches and ministering to those in need. Our mission has grown and expanded in the intervening years-more than a century and a half! Herein lies our story of faith. Please take time to visit and learn about our ministries. We pray the American Baptist Home Mission Societies story brings you inspiration and hope.
