About ASSOCIATED BAPTIST PRESS (operating as Baptist News Global)

Associated Baptist Press (ABP) is the legal nonprofit operating under EIN 58-1930302 and today publishes as Baptist News Global, a reader-supported, independent news organization focused on Baptist life and broader matters of faith and culture. It produces original reporting, curated news, opinion, podcasts and webinars and describes itself as Baptist in heritage and ecumenical in spirit.

Founded as an independent Baptist news service (ABP) in 1990, the organization’s board approved a merger with The Religious Herald in 2013 to form Baptist News Global; it continues to operate as a donor-facing 501(c)(3) publisher with staff and volunteer board governance and a web-first publishing model. In recent years it has sustained and expanded its digital content offerings (podcasts, webinars and reporting series) and maintains an endowment managed through the Associated Baptist Press Foundation to help fund operations.

The organization is active and operating, files annual IRS Form 990 returns, and reports multi-year financial support from individual donors, churches and institutional grants while emphasizing editorial independence and reader-supported funding.
