Training Mission:
Our Commitment and Values

1. Principles

As inheritors of the Baptist tradition, ABP believes truth is the cornerstone upon which the democratic process is built, both in religious and civil relationships. We believe in democracy, because we believe it best honors the competency of every soul before God. Therefore, we believe our first commitment must be to our readers, whose right to know the truth is paramount, both for relating to God and to others. Our ministry will be built upon freedom, fairness and objectivity, by which we guard our integrity and autonomy.

2. Function

ABP functions as a news cooperative. We will develop a network of reporters and news outlets -- both religious and secular -- that will provide a steady source of quality news, as well as a ready outlet for that product. We will use innovative technology to reach the widest audience possible.

3. Content

ABP will credibly and compellingly report on matters of faith. We will report news, events and trends that affect and interest Baptists.

4. Objective

ABP's goal is to tell the truth and thus promote understanding about matters of faith.
