Panorama Baptist supports American Baptist Churches-ABCUSA
Annual Offerings
During each quarter of the year, we promote and support each of the four annual offerings listed below:
What is the national goal?
American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) is promoting the America for Christ (AFC) Offering 2024, which seeks to raise $1,500,000 to support American Baptist mission and ministry across the United States and Puerto Rico.
What is the AFC 2024 theme?
The theme for the America for Christ Offering 2024 is “Grace upon Grace”
Because of God’s great love, we are not consumed, for God’s compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. —Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
How can I support AFC 2024?
You can give during the congregational offering Sunday at your church, or you can give an individual gift online by visiting abhms.org/afcnow. Also, consider encouraging your congregation’s Mission Committee to include an America for Christ Offering contribution in its annual budget.
How is my gift making a difference?
Your generous AFC gifts allows ABHMS to partner with ABC churches, community groups. ABC seminaries and institutions to financially support them in the following areas:
Cultivating Leaders — strong leaders advance the mission of faith communities.
Equipping Disciples — broadening the understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Healing Communities — we believe the power of Christian love can—and will—change the world.
100% or your AFC donation is utilized to support and fund your ministries. ABHMS does not retain any AFC funds for its own purposes. When you support AFC, you support your community and communities across the US and Puerto Rico.
