We are ABOUT MISSIONS for women and children here at home and throughout the world. We do this with money we earn through work and fellowship.
Who can join United Methodist Women?
Any woman who commits herself to the PURPOSE of United Methodist Women and to engage in mission, study, personal growth and social action can join. You don’t have to be United Methodist or meet an age requirement to be a member. It’s easy to become a member of United Methodist Women: you can talk to someone you know who is already a member.
