In July 1968 several women met and united to form the Young Women Auxiliary (YWA). Five senior missionary members volunteered their services as advisers and forty-seven charter members formed the group. Installation services for the auxiliary were held on December 7, 1968. The YMA is also affiliated with the Gethsemane District YMA. The mission and outreach of the YMA are: College Ministry, Hope Ministry, Women's Day, Harvest Festival and Evening of Elegance. The ministry also publishes a newsletter called the "Beacon" that is published quarterly.
