Welcome to WMU!
We are excited to have you as a new leader! Some of this can seem overwhelming at first, but stick with it and you'll find missions opportunities that are a perfect match for you and your church, as well as a fulfilling leadership experience.
WMU challenges Christian believers to understand and be radically involved in the mission of God. WMU in a church leads people to:
• Experience missions personally through ministry and witness
• Develop missions awareness
• Support missions work through prayer and giving
• Nurture lifestyles that reflect commitment and obedience to the Great Commission
How does WMU involve people in missions?
WMU helps a church carry out its mission in the community and around the world through six areas of missions focus. They are based on biblical concepts. These are the heart of what WMU does.
