We are the American Baptist Churches of Maine.  We are disciple-making communities that believe the local church is the fundamental unit of mission and make it our priority to affirm, support and challenge local congregations as they live out their mission.  We are called by God, through Jesus Christ, to be communities of faith empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as witnesses and agents of God’s love and justice in the church and in the world.

We are the American Baptist Churches of Maine.  We are reclaiming our posture as a people of the Word who participate in God’s mission in the world, wherever that mission-journey takes us.  Our Baptist story informs us about how to serve in the midst of brokenness in the world, how to respond to those on the margins of society, and how to bear faithful witness to our risen Lord in the midst of confusion or despair.           

 Ministry Opportunities

We are the American Baptist Churches of Maine. We are a rural, small church region of the American Baptist Churches, USA that is looking for leaders of character and competence who are servants, Biblically grounded, committed to disciple making through Christ-centered relationships and eager to love and serve small, rural congregations that are distinctively American Baptist.

George Dana Boardman Luncheon

April 25, 2026

11:00 am – 1:30 pm

China Lake Conference Center


 
The first George Dana Boardman Luncheon will honor your church’s Mission Advocate.  If you nominate a Mission Advocate from your church, your support of that Advocate is important and needs to be celebrated.  Therefore, if you nominate a Mission Advocate or a George Dana Boardman Award Nominee from your church, the expectation is that your church will celebrate their service by “filling” a table at the George Dana Boardman Luncheon.  A table will seat eight people and will cost two hundred dollars.  This will provide lunch, an award, cover the cost of the rental and provide for a speaker.  We will send out a reminder closer to our luncheon’s date.

Being the first Mission and Ministry Luncheon, we are hoping that your church will nominate and participate in this historic celebration among the American Baptist churches of Maine.
