Missions

        American Baptist Men work in partnership with the American Baptist National Ministries Disaster Response Network together with the Office of National Disaster Response and Volunteers In Mission, ABMen brings hope to those whose lives have been devastated by disasters in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

        A fleet of trailers across the USA roll into action for cleanup, repair and initial rebuilding.  Short-term volunteers work cooperatively with Church World Service, the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA), Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), and the American Red Cross.

        It’s first aid for the soul – ABMen putting their hands to work, showing God’s love where hope seems lost.


Evangelism

        Evangelism pervades every segment of Christian life.  It cannot be regimented or compartmentalized to a particular time and place.

        ABMen strives to fulfill the Great Commission, to make more and better disciples of Jesus Christ.

        The central purpose of American Baptist Men is to reach men and boys for Christ.

        ABMen explores issues of how men and boys hear and respond to the good news of Jesus Christ.  We communicate God’s redeeming love – Man-to-Man.


Nurturing

        American Baptist Men strengthens the spiritual life of men and boys.

        ABBoys and YoungMen curriculum builds on our legacy of mentoring and rites of passage.  Each boy is connected with a Christian man in their church for a long-term relationship.  As a result, boys and teens come to faith in Christ and are nurtured to spiritual maturity.

        Boys and teenage young men need to have basic biblical knowledge, understand Baptist distinctives, and develop their walk with Christ.  ABBoys and YoungMen is designed to meet these ends.
