American Baptist Home Mission Society

The American Baptist Home Mission Society is a Christian missionary society. Its predecessor, the Home Mission Society, was established in 1832 in New York City to operate in the American frontier, with the stated mission "to preach the Gospel, establish churches and give support and ministry to the unchurched and destitute." In the 19th century, the Home Mission Society was part of the Triennial Convention, the mainline Baptist denomination in the United States established in 1814. Today, the Home Mission Society is part of the reorganization of the Triennial Convention, the American Baptist Churches USA, reorganization by merger of the several Triennial societies and organizations related to missions and work, including publications (1824), women (1877), and education (1888).
