The purpose of the meeting was to establish lines of communication and cooperation between the Ukrainian Baptist Church and the UWC. Ukrainian Baptists have been a part of the UWC's Church Council since the UWC was formed in 1967. The current leadership of the Fellowship represents a new generation and has been significantly reinforced by new immigrants from Ukraine. The following topics were explored: participation by the Church in the UWC's Church council and UWC meetings; mutual participation in the Church's and the UWC's events; reciprocal assistance in organizational efforts with Ukrainians throughout the world; mutual information through electronic and print communications and publications; assistance in safeguarding human (religious) rights in violating countries through international channels; access to Church leadership in Ukraine.

Ukrainian Evangelical Baptists represent a very significant portion of Christian Ukrainians in Ukraine and abroad. There are some three thousand Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Churches in Ukraine and several hundred outside Ukraine. Furthermore, there is a long history of ecumenical cooperation between this Church, the Ukrainian Catholic Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the Diaspora. The principle purpose of the UWC's Church Council which is open to all traditional Ukrainian Christian churches is to foster cooperation among the Churches in order to enable a working relationship among the faithful.
