Why become a member?
We believe all Christians should have an interest and involvement in mission at home and overseas. Because we’re well established, we can support this interest effectively.
We have structures in place to gather and distribute information and funds for mission work.
PWMU is a body looking to the future while learning from the past.

Membership is available to members of Victorian Presbyterian congregations, either through a branch or as an individual. PWMU can play a special role in encouraging an interest in mission work through your congregation.
PWMU may have women in the title, but it’s not only for women. Men are welcome to join, but cannot hold office.
