Women on Mission

The Sarah Hall Missionary Society of Central Baptist Church was organized in 1897.

Women On Mission is an outgrowth of Women's Missionary Union (WMU) organized in 1888. It was the umbrella organization for Baptist Women, Young Women's Association (YWA), Girls In Action (GA), Royal Ambassadors (RA), and Mission Friends.

Currently, the programming schedule for our Women on Mission is called “Purses in the Pew.”

Women meet on the third Monday of each month during the school year to hear a guest speaker and to have fellowship over a catered lunch. In 2010, the focus was Central Baptist women meeting women of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. We heard about missions, field personnel, and other personal testimonies of women affiliated with the CBF. A missions offering was taken at each meeting, resulting in a $1200 gift to the CBF global and state missions at the end of the year.
