Giving to the Region

Circle of Friends

Our ABCRGR Circle of Friends embraces our congregations and clergy with support by regular funding of our regional ministries. Members of our Circle of Friends become part of one the circles below as they choose their level of annual giving. We give daily thanks for our Circle of Friends!

Circle of Faith (Donors $0 to $100 per year)

The Friends in our Circle of Faith express their faith in the work of the region and the benefits of an association of churches through annual giving of $0 through $100 dollars.

Circle of Hope (Donors $101 to $250 per year)

The Friends in our Circle of Hope allow us to make our regional ministries more robust as our congregations and clergy move through our transitional time in society.

Circle of Promise (Donors over $250)

The Friends in our Circle of Promise create energy and movement towards a future of expanded support and resources as we seek to be Christ’s disciples together.

Thank you, Friend! You have helped us expand our tents for ministry!

Church Contributions

Churches are able to support the region through their United Mission Giving (see box at left "Giving to ABCUSA"). It is important that giving done through United Mission is accompanied by a completed United Mission form and sent directly to ABCUSA, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482-0851. United Mission funds sent to ABCRGR will be returned to the church and asked to be redirected. This is to ensure compliance with regulations.

Churches are also able to give to the region directly by sending a check made out to ABCRGR and mailed to ABCRGR, 1230 Long Pond Rd., Rochester, NY, 14626, or by using our online giving page. Simply choose "Organizations" in the donor drop-down menu and list the full name of the church.

In addition to the four annual offerings, American Baptists are encouraged to support United Mission

American Baptists have always been a people of mission; mission is in our DNA. Our United Mission (UM) contributions give concrete expression to this impulse and help us to be the hands and feet of Christ – from the local congregation to all parts of the world. It is through UM, our one family offering, that each giver is able to participate in the total ministry of our American Baptist family.
