The Mission Summit, occurring at the American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA) Biennial, will come in the form of conversations among American Baptist leaders and lay people from across the United States and Puerto Rico.

A Mission Summit Conversation is an open opportunity for anyone attending the Mission Summit/Biennial to engage in meaningful dialogue about a topic of interest by self-selecting into a small group. The Mission Summit Conversations are the heart of the Mission Summit.  Three rounds of Mission Summit Conversations will be held.

Following the second round of Mission Summit Conversations, a representative from each Mission Summit Conversation group will be invited to report out during an open plenary session either verbally or electronically or both, depending upon how many groups form.
