The WMU is an organization
for women, girls and preschool boys and girls. Its purpose is to
promote and support missions, to help the church fulfill its mission,
and to lead in mission education. 1. Engage in mission
action and personal witnessing. Mission action is
ministering and witnessing to persons of special need or circumstance
who are members and non members of the church or its programs; and
it also works in combating social and moral problems.
2. Teach missions.
We want to first involve women in mission and then having activated
their interest, move them into study. 3.
Support missions. Support for mission
is started by regular prayer for mission and for missionaries. They
also support the two major mission offerings, the Lottie Moon Christmas
Offering for foreign missions and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
for Home Missions. 4. Interpret and undergird
the work of the church and the denomination.
Accomplishing this task strengthens not only the WMU work but also
that of the church and the various agencies of the denomination.
