Welcome!
We welcome you to apply for participation in the second cohort of the Nurturing Children Initiative of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, our “Striving Congregations” congregational cohort.
Congregations will be notified of final decision no later than October 1, 2026.
This application takes an estimated 45 minutes to complete. Progress will save automatically as you work as long as you use the same device and browser to complete your work. Saving your application does not submit it.
Feel free to contact us with questions you might have as you discern and prepare: nurturingchildren@abhms.org.
There will be a virtual information session on June 17 at 12:00pm EST for those seeking additional details about the application process. Register for the information session here.
