The main purpose of WMU is to educate and involve
adults, youth, children, and preschoolers in the cause
of Christian missions.
Vision Statement: WMU challenges Christian believers to understand and be radically involved in the mission of God. Here at First Baptist Church, WMU is designed to encourage believers to grow in their faith through personal involvement in support of missionaries and to meet the needs of people in their communities.
2011-2012 Theme & Watchword:
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV)
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
