“We’re excited to be coming to a location that is convenient for travelling and centrally located in the United States,” said American Baptist Churches USA President Rev. Dr. James O. Wolfe III. “We hope that you save these dates now and look for information coming early next year, and plan ahead to attend this wonderful family event featuring inspiring worship, workshops, and fellowship with our sisters and brothers in Christ.”

The Executive Committee officially approved the meeting location and dates during its meeting in September 2023. The Board of General Ministries meetings will directly precede the event.

Rev. Dr. Greg Mamula, transitional executive minister for Churches Helping Churches, the American Baptist Churches of Nebraska, first shared the news that the region will host the 2025 event at the region’s Convention on Saturday morning, October 7.

Mamula shared, “The American Baptist Churches of Nebraska are excited to welcome our American Baptist Churches USA siblings to the 2025 Biennial Mission Summit in Omaha, Nebraska for the first time. Vibrant Baptist mission and ministry has been actively present in Nebraska since Moses and Eliza Merrill first crossed the Missouri River in 1833 and our Nebraska Baptist State Convention was founded in 1867.”

“Our spirited and ethnically diverse congregations look forward to extending Midwest hospitality by celebrating our mutual Baptist identity as we gather to revel in what the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit continues to do in and through his American Baptist people. We are honored for this opportunity to host our ABCUSA family in this way,” said Mamula.

American Baptist Churches USA is one of the most diverse Christian denominations today, with approximately 5,000 congregations comprised of 1.3 million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged in God’s mission around the world.
