BWNA is a women's network
Welcome to the Baptist Women of North America website. We hope you will love learning about what God is doing through Baptist women in Canada and the United States. We are a network of Baptist Women’s organizations serving in 15 regional and denominational bodies who are part of the Baptist World Alliance. BWNA is one of seven continental unions representing women from more than 150 countries.
Our mission is simple - Empowering women to live out Kingdom life, especially in the area of helping the vulnerable. We exist to serve you and glorify Christ.
We pray you will find a community, support, prayer, and resources that are helpful and encouraging for you personally and in your ministry. We want to encourage, engage, and empower service to others, especially those who have a heart for the vulnerable. Together, we believe we can do more than any of us can do alone.
