Women's Missionary Union

Who We are and What We Do
  • We enable members to witness and do missions personally.
  • We pray for missionaries, give to mission causes, and volunteer for short-term mission projects.
  • We minister to people who are not believers or part of the church.
  • We embrace our vision of challenging Christians to understand and be radically involved on mission with God.  
 Our Five Strategic Principles
  1. Develop spiritually towards a missions lifestyle.
  2. Pray for and give to Missions.
  3. Participate in Missions: locally, in North Carolina, and in the world.
  4. Learn about missions.
  5. Take part in the work of Hickory Grove Baptist Church and the Southern Baptist Convention.  

 

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us - yes, establish the work of our hands. - Psalm 90:17.

Opportunities to Serve

WMU offers many opportunities to serve and get involved, whether in one of our established groups or as part of short-term projects. We sponsor Operation Christmas Child and the Angel Trees at HGBC, as well as other one time mission projects. Whether you can volunteer once a month, once a quarter, or once a year... We have a place for you!

"then Jesus said to all the people: If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross each day and follow me." - Luke 9:23
