American Baptist Women
Proverbs 31:20 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
In commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to the mission of the Church, and through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, American Baptist Women’s Ministries provides opportunities for each woman and girl to become and develop as God’s person, build God’s faith community, and serve God’s world.
All women are invited to participate in ABW Ministries. Each woman is encouraged to participate according to her own needs, interests, and gifts as led by the Spirit of God.
