The primary purpose of the band is to stimulate and solicit missionary funds for home and world missions. The band is to assist the pastor in providing suitable methods of increasing the missionary offering on the second Sunday of each month, as well as in the March and October World Missions drives, and in such other ways as may seem good to the band. The Women's Missionary Band assists the Church in many different ways. Some of those ways are: helps in training the young women of the Church; helps provide funds for both home land and other lands; helps gather clothing for home and foreign mission fields; helps to develop the Church by its prayer bands; and helps in the visitation of the Church.

The Women's Missionary Band is vital to the mission endeavors in which the ladies are in control, but in which every person can be involved. It is a spiritual ministry and a fund-raising agency to help spread the gospel around the world. Although there may be times when coffee, tea, and a doughnut may be appropriate, the Women's Missionary Band is more than a Church society. It is a Church ministry.

The only successful way to fulfill the purpose of the WMB Department is for each member to get into the "prayer closets" and pray down the inspiration and find the perfect will of God as to how to stimulate the giving of the necessary funds to be able to fulfill the Great Commission given only to The Church of God. Praying (getting the inspiration), planning, and preparing (organizing) will provide a place for the spirit of missions to prevail.
