WMU: Woman's Missionary Union
Making disciples of Jesus who live on mission.
WMU offers organizations and approaches as well as ministries that enable every member of the church to learn about missions,
become involved in missions, and live a missional lifestyle.
What does WMU do?
The unwavering focus of Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) is making disciples of Jesus who live on mission.
WMU seeks to come alongside the church to accomplish the mission of God. God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our desire is to see all ages energized and motivated and equipped for missions.
We carry out this mission by
- providing missions discipleship resources for churches and individuals,
- offering opportunities to engage with compassion ministries, and
- equipping people through leadership development experiences.
What guides WMU?
WMU IS
- Biblically Rooted
Scripture guides us in knowing God, His ways, His character, His mission, His redemptive acts, and His purpose for the church.
- Missions Focused
Jesus commissioned His disciples to proclaim the good news disciple people of all nations, and teach them to live out the truths He taught.
- Church-Based
Jesus gave the church authority to act on His behalf. Teaching all ages prepares the church to fulfill His mission.
- World Aware
God is always at work among all peoples, and we join Him where we discern He is calling us.
- Denominationally Supportive
No one church can do alone what many churches can do together. Our voluntary cooperation extends the missions reach of the local church.
