Woodland Global Women seek to engage women of all ages in a focused missional effort addressing the perspectives and needs of women. By creating global friendships among women for shared learning and service, WGW actively works to discover ways to meet the needs of the profoundly unreached women of the world, share missional experiences in different contexts and to pray together for these needs and Woodland’s response to them. Working with a variety of ministry groups such as Med Missions, Woodland Global Women have extended the missional reach of the church exponentially.

Volunteers with the Woodland Sewing Ministry sew items for people in need.
