WMU/Women's Missions and Ministry's goal is that Christian women within Missouri Baptist Convention churches would be burdened for the lost women around them.  As a result of this burden women will seek ways to minister and share Jesus Christ with lost family members, friends, and neighbors.

WMUWomen's Missions and Ministry is interested in sharing missions education and opportunities with women involved in churches of the Missouri Baptist Convention.  Some women will be involved in WMU (Woman's Missionary Union), and some will be involved in different aspects of women's ministries in their local churches and/or associations.

WHAT IS WMU?

Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) includes missions education from preschool through adults.

WHAT IS WOMEN’S MINISTRIES?

Women’s Ministries in the local church include a variety of Bible studies, personal interest seminars for women, helps for family issues, and varied enrichment/fellowship opportunities.  Many of the women’s ministry opportunities are tools for outreach to women within the community/neighborhoods.  However, many women’s ministry groups are for the spiritual enrichment of the Christian women within the local church body.
