Read 2016 Letter from Matron Ministry President
The Matron Department of the Southwest District Missionary Baptist Association is a division of the Women’s Department. The targeted age group for this department is 18 – 35. As outlined in the Mission Statement of the Women’s Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., our purpose is twofold:
First, reaching inward, nurturing our membership through mission study, education, fellowship, and prayer.
Second, reaching outward through personal witnessing, evangelizing, helping the needy and less fortunate, and ad seeking justice and liberty for all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Southwest District Matron Department meets annually at the Southwest District Association which is held each year beginning the third Sunday of October. The Matron Hour is held on that Monday of the meeting from 6 -7pm.
Please reach out to your local churches and sections if you would like to become an active member of our Matron Departments. Feel free to contact me at demetriamccollum1@gmail.com
