Missions Organizations at Shades Crest

Woman’s Missionary Union

What is WMU?  WMU challenges Christian believers to understand and be radically involved in the mission of God.  This radical involvement happens as WMU in a church leads people to:

• ~ Experience missions personally through ministry and witness
• ~ Develop missions awareness
• ~ Support mission work through prayer and giving
• ~ Nurture lifestyles that reflect commitment and obedience to the Great Comission

Shades Crest offers a comprehensive missions education program for all ages that includes opportunities to learn about and participate in ministry activities locally and around the world.
