Thank you ABHMS for your partnership, collaboration and support. Thank you Rev Dr Marie Onwubuariri for your pivotal main session talks. Thank you Min Matthew Rivera for giving our youth a voice for our stories. Thank you Rev Dr Raymond Chang for investing in our youth leaders across the region.

Additional note: ABHMS and TENx10 enabled a hands on mission project that put our desire for justice into practice. They sponsored the health kits donated to our Mission Project partner, Rescue Mission of Utica.

Youth at the Heart of Church Renewal
We’re excited to celebrate the ways American Baptist youth are bringing fresh energy, creativity, and faith to the life of the church! Through Oasis, young leaders are reimagining worship, community, and service—and reminding us all that the future of the church is alive with possibility.

Thank you to these three men who are the first to arrive and the last to leave during ABY. Adam Tillinghast, Stephen Myers and Josh Narraway: you make us sound good, look good and know what is going on. Thank you for all you do and all you bring to ABY for the past decades… you help us draw closer to God through your gifts and lead us to the alter. Thank you

We want to start off our "Thank Yous" with our youth! You are the reason we put together the ABY Convention. They way you love God and love one another is incredible. The hotel and convention center staff commented on how gracious and kind you were to work with. Listening to you worship with your whole being is always a joy. Thank you for a great weekend!
