American Baptist Women's Ministries was born out of a group of women concerned about the preaching and teaching of the gospel to women in other lands. In 1871, The Baptist Woman's Missionary Society was formed. Over the years the name has changed as well as the way of doing things. But the commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to the mission of the church has remained the same.
The cross resembles the one in the American Baptist Churches logo.
A.B.W.M. is part of the larger church body. We are reminded of what Christ
did for us. The water symbolizes baptism, the oceans and rivers of the earth
that connect us to other sisters and brothers around the world and the living
water offered by Christ.
The woman portrays a woman of the Bible. The new testament women were among
the first to know and believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son. She is depicted
stepping from waters of baptism, confident in her belief in Jesus Christ.
She holds a lighted lamp. She is carrying the light and life of Jesus Christ
into the world, serving Christ. This is a picture of our mission statement.
All St. Albans First Baptist women are invited to participate in American
Baptist Women Ministries. Each woman is encouraged to participate according
to her own needs, interests and gifts as led by the Spirit of God. And of
course, we fellowship and eat at our meetings!
We are organized into Four circles and cordially invite you to become
active in one of your choice. Come, join us in the small groups which affords
each of us an avenue to effectively show our concerns for the church through
the following various circles.
| Mary & Martha Circle Tracy McGrath |
7:00 p.m. | Third Tuesday |
| Demma Melton-Circle | 1:00 p.m | First Tuesday |
| Nadine Hinchman Circle Janet Ruch |
7:00 p.m. | Second Tuesday |
Our programs are planned to help each woman to grow in her devotions
of Jesus Christ and Savior and commitment to the missions.
If you are interested in becoming a part of the American Baptist Women Ministries

We would be glad to talk with you. Any of our circles would love to have
