Gather. Affirm. Belong.
As we travel across the country this year, we invite you to join us for a GAB—a Gathering of Affirming Baptists. These casual, in-person meetups are a chance to connect with other affirming Baptists and allies, share stories, and build community in a welcoming space. You do not have to attend the conference or other meetings named as “part of.”
Whether you’re a long-time AWAB supporter or just beginning your journey with affirming faith, GAB is a place to be seen, be heard, and be encouraged. No formal agenda—just good conversation, great company, and a shared commitment to love and justice.
Plus, you’ll get the inside scoop on what AWAB is working on and how you can be part of it!
Join us for a GAB near you! We’d love to connect whether you’re attending a conference or just in the area.
