The History
In April 2018 opportunity for the ABWM NYS Opportunity Fund was created out of gifts from the estates of Hillview Community Church, which closed in 2015 and the First Baptist Church of Oneonta, which closed in January, 2018.
These churches left funds for American Baptist Women’s Ministries of NYS as part of their ongoing legacy of love for American Baptist Women’s Ministries of NYS and to use for the development of women when they made the hard decision to close their doors.
They decided to let their ministry live through others by helping to enable for dreams to come true. American Baptist Women’s Ministries of New York State was one of those ministries where a dream came true.
The dream is the Opportunity Fund.
