Every March, Baptist Women in Ministry celebrates BWIM’s Month of Advocacy. It is a time to affirm, encourage, and advocate for women in ministry and to imagine together what it looks like when women truly thrive in Baptist life.
As you look toward March, we invite you to begin imagining:
- What might BWIM's Month of Advocacy look like in your congregation or organization, as well as for you personally?
- Who else could help bring it to life: a minister, professor, staff member, committee, woman in ministry, or male advocate?
- What kind of celebration would feel meaningful in your context?
For now, we encourage you to do one simple thing: Dream with one other leader.
BWIM’s Month of Advocacy is a movement we build together.

You’re invited to join our Spring Book club as we read Being Sanctuary: The Radical Way for the Body of Christ to Be Sacred, Soft, and Safe by Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez. The Radical Way is a timely, soul-deep book that challenges the Body of Christ to become what we often preach but rarely practice: sacred, soft, and safe in community. Come join us for honest conversation, shared wisdom, and renewed courage for the work.
Dates: March 9th, March 16th, March 23rd, March 30th at 12 pm ET
