American Baptist Churches of Rhode Island is an association of 67 autonomous American Baptist congregations that have come together to engage in God's mission within their communities, the state of Rhode Island, and beyond. With a long history of shared ministry and association, some of their churches can trace their cooperative ministries back to the establishment of the Warren Association in 1767. These churches value their unique call to ministry within their own communities, as well as the fellowship and encouragement that comes from being part of an association.
The Baptist Fund of Rhode Island, affiliated with American Baptist Churches of Rhode Island, offers grant opportunities for churches to explore new ministry initiatives and support pastors' continuing education. Churches can apply for grants of up to $2,500 to develop new programs or ministries that serve their members or communities, while active pastors can apply for grants of up to $500 to support professional development opportunities. The Baptist Fund aims to provide seed money for these initiatives and does not fund maintenance, building repairs, or general operating expenses.
