History

The North American Women’s Ministries (NAWM) first organized as a group in 1939 in Stanberry, Missouri. These pioneering ladies desired to organize the women of the church to enter the missionary work of funding books and tracts for ministers who could not afford to purchase them in quantity themselves.

Today, there are Women’s Ministries of the CoG7 in many countries around the world. The main purpose of these Women’s Ministries is to unite in the work of the Lord.

Women’s Ministries is one of the featured ministries at General Conference Conventions.  In addition, there are local, regional, and national Women’s Retreats where women are invited to meet with other ladies of faith for fellowship, learning and sharing.

Free-will donations, dues, emphasis, bazaars and Ladies Day offerings are the means for funding projects of NAWM.
