LaGrange Park Baptist Church - WMU |

WMU (Women's Missionary Union) is an auxiliary organization of the Southern Baptist Convention. WMU is designed to equip individuals to understand, embrace, and live the mission of God through age-level organizations and church-wide events.
The WMU at LaGrange Park is divided into four groups. These groups are:
- Mission friends, for prescool aged children
- Girls in Action (GAs) for girls in 1st - 6th grades
- Youth on Mission falls under the banner of WMU. Youth on Mission is for all students in 7th - 12th grades. Each of these groups meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00.
- Women on Mission for all women 18 and over. They meet on the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm.
We also have a Women on Mission prayer group that meets at church on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 10:00 am.

Our WMU has adopted the Tuareg, a West African people group, as a group of prayer. Our congregation is encouraged to pray regularly that many of this predominantly Muslim group would come to know Jesus Christ as personal savior and that the few Christians among the Tuareg will become strong in their faith and bold in their witness. We ask that you join us in praying for the Tuareg of West Africa. To learn more visit www.gowestafrica.org
