Welcome Carolyn! Thank you for your willingness to serve the Lord as National WMU President.

Carolyn Fountain was elected the 25th president of Woman’s Missionary Union during the WMU Missions Celebration and Annual Meeting June 7 in Orlando, Florida.
A native of Tallulah, Louisiana, Fountain and her husband of 48 years, Leroy, are members of the Well of Monroe, a church plant of First Baptist Church of West Monroe, Louisiana. Together they serve churches in Northwest Louisiana by helping pastors of church plants and revitalizations incorporate missions into their strategy for church health.
The Fountains were appointed as church planters by the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board) in 1983-1996 and 2006-2013. Over the years, Carolyn organized and/or facilitated WMU, taught Sunday school, co-directed youth ministry, led Acteens, sang in the choir, served on committees and as a trustee, and was a pastor’s wife for 11 years. She served as president of Louisiana WMU/Women’s Ministry (2020-2023) and served on the SBC committee on order of business. Additionally, she served as campus minister at Alabama State University and led students on missions trips to Detroit, Nashville, and Atlanta. She was also an educator for 15 years.
Currently, she works with the Women’s Learning Center, a ministry of the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services in Monroe, Louisiana, where she tutors women in reading and writing as they strive to achieve their HiSet (GED).
The Fountains have three daughters and five grandchildren.
