We are committed to Resource, Equip, Network and Train our women, supporting them in their ministries.

History : 1926-2002
For 76 years the Baptist Women of Victoria have been serving our churches with the motto—Living Faith,Loving Service. During this time, the B.W.V served well and laid a solid foundation, providing women many opportunities to get involved with ministry and mission locally, nationally and internationally. However, there have been significant changes in our society, in our churches and in the way we minister and as a result women’s needs and the way that they lead and minister have altered also. A new women’s ministry needed to emerge that was contemporary and understanding of women today. After an 18 month recess, much prayer, a vision from God and building on the solid foundation laid before us, a new women's ministry has emerged.

Vision :
The new women’s ministry of the Baptist Union of Victoria launched on September 17 th 2004 as a contemporary ministry with a vision to;

“Develop Vibrant Christian Women
empowered to serve Christ in their
local church and communities
”.

Purpose :
The women’s ministry is a not for profit organization providing training, resources and creating opportunities for our Baptist women to meet, network and celebrate our Christian faith together.

As an intergenerational women’s ministry, we recognize and support each woman as important, unique and gifted to serve God wherever he has placed and called her.
