WMU (Woman’s Missionary Union)

Mill Creek Baptist Church has two WMU groups that meet monthly.

The Daytime Mission Group meets at 10am on the first Tuesday of each month at the church. We have a potluck lunch after the meeting and a time for fellowship.

The BWNG (Baptist Women’s Night Group) meets at 6pm on the second Monday of each month at various locations. Location is always announced in the newsletter and the church bulletin.

Both groups have the same goals:

-To study about missions locally, nationally, and internationally.

-To support missions through prayer and giving.

-To participate in mission action projects which assist local ministries.

-To enjoy fellowship with one another.
