UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

Established 1869

PURPOSE of the UMW: The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose PURPOSE is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

All women of the church are invited to join the UMW. As a member you will grow spiritually through worship, study

and prayer, celebrating the person you are becoming in Jesus Christ, developing meaningful and lasting relationships,

and sharing who you are and your gifts, taking action and making a difference in your community and the world.
