Mission Opportunities

The Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) of Chesterfield Baptist Church is affiliated with the WMU of Virginia and the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

We seek to equip adults, youth, children and preschoolers with missions education to become involved in the mission of God.  We are God's hands and feet in our world.

  • WMU permanent watchword: We are laborers together with God.
  • WMU Emphasis 2010-2012: "Unhindered"
Hebrews 12: 1-2 NIV- " Therefore since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let  us run with perserverance the race marked out for us.  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"
