The Men’s Missionary Union (MMU) and Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) are the two Missionary organizations that involve every member and regular worshiper in the Baptist Church young or old, male or female. They constitute the major channels through which the Church fulfils her Missionary mandate both internally and externally. Early this year (2017), as a measure to harness and maximize the enormous potentials in these two bodies for the world evangelization, the Church leadership adopted a paradigm shift in the structure and functions of the two organizations. Under the new arrangement otherwise known as ‘Mission Age Groups paradigm’, each Age Group within the two organizations is assigned a specific Mission Task or Mission Field in any of the IBC Mission Fields- locally or internationally- to work in collaboration with the Church and the Mission Station/Field for a given period under the direct supervision of the Minister for Missions/Evangelism. These Mission Age Groups are as listed below:
i. MMU
a) Royal Ambassadors (Junior, Intermediate and Senior): 10 – 24 years.
b) Baptist Young Men: 25 – 35 years
c) Baptist Men: 36 – 49 years
d) Baptist Senior Men: 50 – 65 years
e) Baptist Older Men: 66 years and above
ii. WMU
a) Sunbeam: 3 – 9 years
b) Girls Auxiliary: 10 -16 years
c) Lydia: 17 -24 years
d) Baptist Young Women: 25 – 35 years
e) Baptist Women: 36 – 49 years
