We thank you for your continued support.

Why is RMMO Important?

Retired ministers, missionaries and their widowed spouses often have limited resources to adequately plan for the future. RMMO provides financial support to those who have helped build our churches. Thank You checks, as well as emergency financial assistance, are made possible by the contributions of American Baptist congregations to the annual Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering.

The assistance provided by RMMO restores that lifeline and ongoing
connection to the ABC family.

This offering is rooted in thankfulness and honors the individual acts
of support and faith that recipients have shown to their congregations
and communities.

“This annual offering is a reminder that
the work God has called us to do is
remembered in the churches we have
served over the years and just as we
supported the offering every year, now
to become the recipient is truly a
blessing. Many pastors influenced me
in my younger years, and I’ll always
be indebted to them. May this legacy
continue as God’s people remain
faithful and generous.”
— Pastor from Springfield, OH
