Women missionary union - WMU
Times have changed in the last 2 years, but our mission has not! The world still needs Christ, missionaries still need to go and serve, and prayers still need to be lifted before the Father. There is still work to be done in helping people and sharing God’s love.
Here at Somerville First Baptist, we have 3 Women on Mission Groups that meet in homes or here at our church.

Their meetings involve praying for missionaries here and around the globe, funding mission projects in our community as well as other countries, and learning about missionaries and their experiences in their mission fields.
We also sponsor the GA (Girls in Action - Girls Grades 1-6), RA (Royal Ambassadors - Boys Grades 1-6) and Mission Friends (Ages Preschool and Kindergarten) which meet every Wednesday at 6:00 pm
A few of our mission emphasis are the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering and the Tennessee Golden Offering. We also help our local schools, our local nursing homes, Fayette Cares as well as other needs in our community.
