2025 WMU Updates

Why is Missions Mosaic changing from a monthly to a quarterly publication?
To be able to package and ship ongoing curriculum items together on a quarterly basis, we must change Missions Mosaic from monthly to quarterly. Changing from monthly to quarterly will also introduce cost savings that will help us keep your price as low as possible.

When will Missions Mosaic change from a monthly to a quarterly publication?
Missions Mosaic will be published as a quarterly publication beginning with the fall 2025 issue.

I order and pay for my own subscription to Missions Mosaic and have it delivered to my house. Will I still be able to do that? Will it come in a box?
Yes, you may order your own copy of Missions Mosaic or any other ongoing curriculum item and have it shipped to your house. Shipping charges will apply to both personal and church orders.

Will Missions Mosaic still include Prayer Patterns and the missionary prayer calendar?
Yes. Missions Mosaic will still include Prayer Patterns and the missionary prayer calendar.

Will the material in Missions Mosaic be in the order of months or will all the articles of each type be grouped together?
The articles will appear in the order of each month. All of the articles for the first month of the quarter, then the second month, then the third. However, all of Prayer Patterns for the three months of the quarter will be together in the back so the pages can be used as a devotion throughout the entire quarter.

Will my church be able to set up an online account?
Yes. Churches will be able to set up online accounts where they can handle all their recurring curriculum orders as well as one-time purchases. Our new website with the new online customer account portal will be live in spring 2025. Once the new website is available, if your church needs assistance in setting up your new account, contact our customer care team at [email protected] or (205) 995-4850.

When will we be able to create, access, and use our church’s new online account?
Our plan is for customers to be able to use the new system during spring 2025 to renew orders for fall 2025. We do not have an exact date yet.

If your church has an account with active subscriptions at that time, we will contact you via email, phone, and/or postcard when our new system is ready for use.

For fast and easy notification, be sure you have a valid email address on file with us in your current account. You may contact our customer care team at [email protected] or (205) 995-4850 to verify your email, phone number, and mailing address.

Our church currently has subscriptions to curriculum items. How can we ensure no lapse in receiving WMU curriculum this fall?
When it is time to renew your orders for fall 2025, make sure you log in to the new system and renew your orders and update your billing and shipping information by the deadline.

How do we set up our new online church account?
Instructions for creating an online account will be provided on the new website when the new system is up and running in spring 2025. If, at that time, you need assistance, contact our customer care team at [email protected] or (205) 995-4850.

If your church needs assistance, contact our customer care team at [email protected] or (205) 995-4850.

Is an email address required for my church’s online account?
Yes, you will be required to provide a valid email address for your account. Email addresses will be used for account log-ins, log-in verification, password resets, recurring order notices, etc.

How will my church update our curriculum order each quarter? Will we be able to change the quantities of our curriculum orders from quarter to quarter?
Our new system will include the opportunity for online self-service, which means you will be able to create an online account and make changes — such as adjusting order quantities — yourself. You will even receive an email notification when it is time to update order quantities each quarter. No action will be required if you do not need to adjust order quantities.

Will the new system provide detailed invoices?
Yes. After you log in to your online account, you will be able to find, download, and print detailed invoices of your church's orders.

Are prices for ongoing curriculum items increasing?
No. Currently our subscription prices are based on a yearly price. That price will now be divided into 4 quarterly charges for recurring orders.

Missions Mosaic: $6.25 per copy per quarter
Women on Mission Leader: $4.25 per copy per quarter
Missions Journey: Kids Leader: $6.75 per copy per quarter
Missions Journey: Kids Leader Kit: $15.00 per copy per quarter
Missions Journey: Kids Adventure: $4.50 per copy per quarter
Mission Friends Leader: $6.75 per copy per quarter
Mission Friends Leader Kit: $21.25 per copy per quarter

Will my church receive all our curriculum items for a given quarter at one time instead of in separate shipments at varying times?
Yes! Your church (and WMU staff) will be so happy about this! Also, remember, no shipping company is perfect. If you run into any issues when the new system is implemented, please contact our customer care team.

How will my church’s curriculum items be packaged?
All your quarterly recurring product items will be packaged together in as few packages as possible! Large orders will ship at the same time in one or more boxes for better affordability.

This way, you’re less likely to receive items that have been damaged in transit. No more missing magazine covers! Will this be foolproof? Of course not. But the likelihood of receiving items without damage will definitely be higher!

If you run into any issues when the new shipping system starts, contact our customer care team. We won’t know about kinks and hiccups you encounter unless you tell us! (We also like to hear what is working well for you so we know we’re on the right track!)

Will tracking be available for my church’s shipments?
Large, multiple-item orders shipped together in 1 or more boxes will be trackable. Orders of only 1 or a few items will not be trackable. More details TBD.

Will my church be able to place one recurring curriculum order for multiple items that ships to multiple addresses?
No. A single, bulk order for multiple items will have only one “ship to” address.

To ensure all your items are packaged and shipped together for the lowest cost possible each quarter, we must ship everything to one mailing address.

No one is at my church during the day to receive or check the mail. Can we use an alternative shipping address?
Yes, you may use an alternative physical mailing address. Keep in mind that to use bulk recurring order features, all items must ship to the same address. Shipping to one address saves on packaging and shipping costs. NOTE: Boxed orders can only be shipped to a physical address, not a PO Box.
