Called to discipleship, we advance multicultural and multilingual training, empower next generation leaders, encourage meaningful dialogue and praxis, and engage in relevant theological reflection and transformational leadership. 

Primary Ministry Programs

  • Maintaining relationships and engaging with Christian denominations, bodies, and broader activities
  • Dialogues with other Christian Worldwide Communions
  • Baptist International Conference on Theological Education (BICTE), held once each quinquennium with a focus on drawing together Baptist theologians and theological educators around a specified theme
  • Horizons, a free online training program with 24 online modules that pairs students with a trained mentor for a certificate in children/youth ministry. The program has been translated in 12 languages and focuses on areas of the world where theological education is less available.

For more than a decade, Horizons has been providing training for youth and children’s ministry leaders.

To make this resource accessible to even more Baptists around the world, the BWA Horizons team launched a new, mobile-optimized website this year. Now all you need is a phone with an internet connection to access this 24-module online training.
