Woman's Missionary Union helps a church provide missions awareness and participation opportunities to involve all of its members and regular attendees, preschoolers through adults, in the mission of God. WMU assists a church by providing ongoing, age-appropriate missions groups for gender-specific and/or coed audiences. Also, WMU assists a church by providing intergenerational, family, and churchwide opportunities for missions involvement. Through WMU, people experience missions personally through hands-on missions and witnessing, develop awareness of missions, support missions work and missions personnel, and nurture lifestyles that reflect commitment and obedience as Christ followers.
"The purpose of Kentucky WMU shall be to promote Christian missions through the organization of Woman's Missionary Union in churches, missions, and associations of the Kentucky Baptist Convention." (excerpt taken from the Kentucky WMU, Inc. Policy Manual)
Kentucky WMU* is a missions ministry that seeks to engage disciples of Jesus on mission in Kentucky and throughout the world. As Christ Followers, we are called to fulfill the “Great Commission”, so making disciples is our mission too. We strive to live our lives in such as way that we are on mission every day. To live like missionaries in our own context and community. Jesus commands us to “Go and make disciples of all nations...” no matter our age, culture or spiritual development. We hope to see every church member committed to living a missions lifestyle and ready with their “yes” on the table. Are you ready to say “here am I Lord, send me?”
