Each February, thousands of children across North America participate in ministry projects on the same day: Children’s Ministry Day.

From feeding hungry people to visiting shut-ins, girls and boys follow God’s command to “put your love into action” (1 John 3:18). Church groups create projects that meet needs in their own communities.

WMU created Children’s Ministry Day to move children out of their churches and into their communities to do missions. The first Children’s Ministry Day was in 2008.

Since 2008, more than 150,000 people have taken part in Children’s Ministry Day! WMU invites all children in grades 1 through 6 to participate.
