In 1888, a handful of women dedicated to the cause of missions founded Woman’s Missionary
Union. Since that time, WMU has become the largest Protestant missions organization for women
in the world, with a membership of approximately 1 million.
From the beginning, WMU’s main purpose has been to educate and involve women, girls, and
preschoolers in the cause of Christian missions. Throughout its history, WMU has been an
auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Convention, which means that it acts as a "helper" to the SBC.
The auxiliary status also means that WMU is self-governing and self-supporting.
Financially, WMU supports its work through the sale of magazines and products and from
investments. National WMU receives no Cooperative Program allocations or Annie Armstrong or
Lottie Moon offering dollars.
