Foundations of Mission (1832–1877) One of the earliest of these organizations, The American Baptist Home Mission Society, was founded in New York City in 1832 to spread the gospel, establish churches, and support ministry among the unchurched and those living in poverty. That same year, the society sent 50 missionaries across the eastern and central United States to share God’s Good News. The effort grew quickly. By 1836, 150 home missionaries were serving in 14 states, two territories, and two provinces. American Baptist missionaries soon expanded their work beyond church planting. They helped establish schools, children’s homes, hospitals, and nursing homes, while also advocating for social and economic justice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/0aa0fdca-01c4-4158-8b83-382661ba99b7/women-from-WABHMS-1.jpg History - Women’s Mission Societies (1877–1955) As the movement grew, women sought opportunities to fully participate in missionary service. When The American Baptist Home Mission Society declined to appoint single women as missionaries, Baptist women formed their own mission societies. In 1877, two organizations were founded: The Women’s Baptist Home Mission Society (WBHMS) in Chicago, with Joanna P. Moore as its first fully commissioned missionary The Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society (WABHMS) in Boston, created “to extend the kingdom of God among the women and children of America” Over time, these societies helped expand Baptist mission efforts nationwide and across diverse communities. During the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, American Baptist missionaries expanded their outreach by: Establishing 27 institutions of higher learning for Freed People after the Civil War Advocating in Washington for treaties favorable to Native Americans Founding a Baptist Missionary Training School in Chicago Sending missionaries to Michigan, New York, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Arizona Ministering among Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II Playing a key role in creating Church World Service, assisting thousands of refugees after World War II https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/16fb3b28-2ce3-4bb4-9e21-baa408817657/Morikawa-for-web.jpg History - A Unified Mission for a Changing World (1955–Present) American Baptist mission organizations strengthened their efforts over time through collaboration and restructuring. In 1909, the two women’s societies merged under the name Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society. In 1955, that society combined with The American Baptist Home Mission Society. By 1972, the unified ministry operated under the name National Ministries. Another major change happened in 2003, when National Ministries absorbed Educational Ministries, uniting ministries of discipleship, education, and publishing. Through this transition, the organization inherited a legacy that included the Baptist General Tract Society (1824), the American Baptist Education Society (1888), and the historic publishing ministry Judson Press. On April 27, 2010, the organization reclaimed its historic name and resumed ministry as American Baptist Home Mission Societies, continuing its work in the name of Jesus Christ.

Those who serve not only bear responsibility but also the quiet burden of guiding others through moments of vulnerability and change. Space for Grace creates room within that reality. Each gathering encourages participants to reconnect with their own story within God’s larger story—allowing space for renewal, healing, and a clearer sense of calling. Equally important, the conference exemplifies a way of being with others: engaging differences with grace, listening carefully, and staying present even when perspectives differ. This isn't an abstract ideal.

To help bring that vision to life, ABHMS continually asks: How can we cultivate strong, spiritually competent leaders? How can we equip disciples to serve as agents of change in God’s name? How can ministry partners collaborate more effectively to serve their communities? MinistrElife is one of the ways ABHMS answers these questions—by connecting people who share a commitment to faithful ministry and meaningful mission. https://abhms.org/empowering-leaders/abhms-center-for-continuous-learning monthly 0.5 2026-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/d5d664f7-920d-486f-a30d-1d5daa4a8389/Irwin-Diehl-Rebecca-020824.jpg Empowering Leaders - ABHMS Center for Continuous Learning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/b439dff0-60fe-4b53-8953-9249e6f93096/Barnes%2C+Jacalyn+1200+px+wide+1+x+1+ratio.png Empowering Leaders - ABHMS Center for Continuous Learning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/feaa43e6-5631-436f-bf4e-10ac58bc98a5/Shreya+Ramachandran+Cropped+1+x+1.png Empowering Leaders - ABHMS Center for Continuous Learning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/2496533b-9e53-429a-8cfb-9cd1c76f6977/divider-white.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ec123fb89bd7c003b82e2/715e53d4-495d-41f3-bb82-54bc847f04d2/Image+%2846%29.jpeg Empowering Leaders - ABHMS Center for Continuous Learning - A hub for lifelong learning The CCL offers an expanding selection of learning opportunities for clergy, lay leaders, and disciples across the American Baptist family and beyond.
