ABCNYS REGION
OFFERING 2023
Paul writes, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.  Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NIV)

Paul offers this above word of encouragement to the church at Corinth.  Likewise, when you give to the ABCNYS Region Offering, your generous gifts will help sow a bounty of ministries and mission for upstate New York American Baptists! 

The ABCNYS Region Offering 2023 is one way ABCNYS churches support one another in ministry together.  With our Lay Study Program, the assistance provided to churches in pastoral search and call, the annual ABY Convention each November, and the many other ways we engage churches in cooperative and collaborative ministry and mission, ABCNYS helps our churches serve and thrive through your financial contributions!

​The ABCNYS Region is funded principally by the donations given by our member churches. With your generosity and partnership we are able to provide many supportive ministries to strengthen local churches. With your gifts to the Region Offering, more can happen in the work of our 273 churches!  
​Promotional Ideas:
  • Download and use the bulletin inserts, promotional videos and Powerpoint for your worship services or social media/website!
