Hope in Christ

WMU Emphasis for 2022–24

The WMU Emphasis is an overarching theme for WMU’s various avenues of missions discipleship. Each two-year emphasis is a scriptural spiritual concept that provides a framework for WMU’s coordinated study and support of missions among all age levels. This cohesive structure of study allows a church to journey together in spiritual growth and fulfilling the mission of God. During the 2022–24 church years, WMU and WMU leaders are rallying around our hope in Christ, seeking Him to make a difference in our lives and in the lives of others.
