2025–2027 Theme: "Building God's Community"

As we step into the next two years, American Baptist Women’s Ministries will unite under a new ministry theme, "Building God's Community". This theme is both a call and a commitment: to construct lives, relationships, and ministries that reflect God’s design and serve God’s people. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 3:9, we are reminded that we are not laboring alone. We are co-workers with Christ, called to cultivate spiritual soil, lay strong foundations, and build together for God’s glory.

We are living in a time of profound division and disconnection. Isolation, injustice, fear, and fatigue have shaken many of our personal and communal foundations. Yet even now, God is inviting us to build, not in our own strength, but through faithful collaboration, sacred trust, and courageous action.

Building God's Community means more than gathering in church buildings or hosting events. It means creating spaces of belonging and healing, lifting up the marginalized, mentoring the next generation, and nurturing each other in love and truth. It is a radical act of hope to build when the world says things are falling apart.

This theme challenges us to rethink how we serve, how we relate, and how we show up as the body of Christ in the world.
