 WMU Emphasis for 2024-2026

What Joy!

The WMU Emphasis is an overarching theme for WMU’s various avenues of missions discipleship. Each two-year emphasis is a scriptural spiritual concept that provides a framework for WMU’s coordinated study and support of missions among all age levels. This cohesive structure of study allows a church to journey together in spiritual growth and fulfilling the mission of God.

During the 2024–26 church years, we renew our focus on the assurance of our God-given joy in Christ and how we can share our joy with others by serving them in His name.

Watchword: “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” —1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NIV)
