Introduction

The purpose of this survey is to gather input for potential topics for discussion at our 2019 Mission Summit Conversations. For the past few Biennials, American Baptists have engaged in respectful dialogue around issues that matter to our pastors and congregations through the format of the Mission Summit Conversations and more recently through Baptist Talk.

The next round of American Baptist Mission Summit Conversations will take place next year at our American Baptist Biennial, Summit by the Sea, June 21-23 2019 in Virginia Beach. Please help us prepare for the next round of Mission Summit Conversations by responding to the brief survey below.
