BWIM DINNER AT CBF

We’re grateful for all the ways Baptist women and their supporters connected with BWIM during the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly.

From conversations at our exhibit booth to the BWIM Dinner featuring Dr. Yolanda Pierce, we were reminded of the importance of creating spaces where women in ministry are supported, encouraged, and celebrated.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and stopped by to connect with us. A special thank you to our event sponsors for helping make these gatherings possible.

Thank you to the 183 donors who gave to the God Calls Women Billboard campaign from June 1 through June 9, and to the 220 donors who gave at the BWIM Dinner at CBF for a total of $58,847!

Your generosity helps ensure that women across Baptist life have access to the resources, connections, and community they need to thrive in their callings.
