MISSION GIVING

Because we are stronger when united together in Christ


You can be part of a community that is committed to resourcing leaders with the tools for healthy congregations.


The American Baptist Churches of New Jersey formed because the earliest Baptists in America realized that the ministries of our congregations could be more vital through cooperation with other followers of Christ. Over 200 years later, ABCNJ is still providing resources, connections, and networks that strengthen our leaders and congregations so that they can continue to carry out the ministry of Christ within their communities. 

When you support The American Baptist Churches of New Jersey, you provide resources for over 277 congregations throughout our New Jersey region.
