The Young Woman’s Auxiliary of the Baptist faith, whether in the local church, the associational field, the district convention, or the state convention, is the missionary organization for young women.

The Y.W.A. is an organization of young women engaged in mission study, personal evaluation, and mission action.  The Y.W.A works to involve young women in God’s redemptive work in today’s world.  It is a fellowship designed to help young women to be God’s redeemed ones, and to work to bring others into the fellowship of the redeemed.  The Y.W.A. is an organization whose purpose is to more fully and effectively involve young women in the work of the church.

The mission of the church is witnessing and winning.  We are charged to witness to a dying world that Jesus Christ is Savior, Redeemer, Friend, and Lord.  The work of the church is winning souls to Christ through teaching and ministering to the needs of people.  Mission is being redeemed, and then seeking to bring others to Christ-crossing whatever barriers are standing between people and reconciliation with God, with himself and with his fellowman.

From the state level:  Any woman between the ages of 18 and 45 who is in good standing with a Baptist church can be a member; however after they have passed the age of 45 they are not allowed to hold an office.

From the local and associational level:  Baptist churches are autonomous bodies and each is governed by the people, each operates differently.  The state convention does not have the authority to dictate its rules to any local church or association.  Therefore, the age of the local and association president may not necessarily be in accordance with the mandates of the stated convention.  I recommend and strongly suggest that if your church adopts the constitution of the stated, it would engaged in the totality of the mandates and not use the age as an issue to remove person from office.
