​

​

Meet with your leadership.

Share your heart for missions education with your pastor or existing WMU leadership in your church.

​

​

Determine how many groups and leaders you will need.

For children and youth organizations, make sure two adults are present in each class at all times for safety reasons.

​

​

Begin promoting.

Use your church bulletin, church newsletter, email blasts, church website and bulletin boards to promote your first meeting six to eight weeks in advance. 

 

​

Have a kick-off meeting.

Invite parents to a children’s age level meeting to find out what they already know about missions!

Then, introduce them to the vision of this education ministry and tell what their family can expect from this experience!
