About CBMM

The Conference of Baptist Ministers in Massachusetts has been promoting the union of usefulness of American Baptist clergy since 1829, that is for the past 191 years. Though we have a rich history, we are facing challenging realities in the 21st century. 

How do we promote the union and usefulness of the clergy in these new realities?

• We are developing our programs and grants to be helpful in these new realities.
• We are working to lead the clergy in thinking together about the new realities we face.
• We are developing an active board to stay in touch with all our clergy.
• We are building networks for mutual care and connection.

What has come from our thinking together in the last few years about clerical leadership?

• The Clergy will work with the people of the churches to become New Covenant communities.
• The Clergy will work with the people to find their voices of interpretation of the Word of God.
• The Clergy will work with the people to find their gifts for ministry in the realities of our age.
• The Clergy will work with the churches to think together, interpret and act in these new challenges
