Renewing Baltimore
BALTIMORE ANTIOCH LEADERSHIP MOVEMENT
Imagine ordinary people helping their neighbors follow Jesus. Churches renewed with a passion for their communities. Leaders equipped and sent into new places. New communities of faith multiplying to bring the hope and healing of Jesus across the city.
This is the vision behind the Baltimore Antioch Leadership Movement. We connect, equip, and encourage people and churches to participate in a movement much bigger than any single organization.
Imagine a Disciple-Making Movement for Every Baltimore Neighborhood.

The Movement in Action
Rediscovering a Church's Mission
“We would not have had any idea of this process much less been able to implement it without the help of the team from BALM.”
— Julius Fischer — Abbott Memorial Presbyterian Church
A New Depth of Theological Formation
“I left every class wanting more ... there was a vividness that was new despite having followed Christ for over two decades.”
— Gerry Sutter — MBS Urban Ministry Graduate
Supported Through Church Planting
“Having a married couple coach us together and separately has been such a wise decision.”
