BWIM Ordination Registry

Baptist Women in Ministry is expanding their efforts to collect ordination records by opening a registry for ordinations of all Baptist clergywomen in all years.  They are also in search of professional women in ministry who are not ordained. 

In hopes of acquiring more complete information about Baptist women who have been ordained or who are serving in professional ministry roles, Baptist Women in Ministry invites all Baptist women ministers, ordained and unordained, to register at the following link:

BWIM also welcomes you to fill out the registry for friends and colleagues, who may be retired or deceased.  Please email this link information to all Baptist women ministers you know!
