General Questions

Home Missions continues to be a large part of our ministry. The Home Missions Committee is chaired by the Superintendent of Home Missions. Two important activities of this committee are Daily Vacation Bible School and Camp "Global Adventures" summer ministry leaders. Each summer young people are hired by the ABW to serve in our CABC churches and camps. Some home mission ministries and projects the ABW regularly contributes to are:

Union of French Baptist Churches, Acadia Divinity College, Crandall University, Institute of Pastoral Training, Coverdale Foundation-meets needs of women who are in conflict with the law, Pregnancy Resource Centres, Hospital and Community Chaplaincies, Christian Action Federation of NB, New Life Mission and the CABC Atlantic Baptist Mission Board.
