The Baptist Men of Wendell Baptist Church have been active in repairing houses after hurricanes have passed through our state, participating in workshops for disaster relief and recovery, assisting in preparing lunches for Special Olympics and shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, and more recently helping to build wheel chair ramps. Whenever and wherever there is a need, the Baptist Men are ready to answer the call.

The WMU seeks to enable every member of the church to learn about missions, become involved in missions, and live a missional lifestyle. The WMU, at WBC, offers many opportunities to both educate and engage individuals in the mission of God.
