The Purpose of United Methodist Women

The Purpose is adopted by the General Conference of The United Methodist Church as the official mission statement of United Methodist Women.

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.

Out of the Purpose are four mission foci that relate to the the mission initiatives and priorities of United Methodist Women.

  • To be a community of women
  • To know God
  • To develop a creative and supportive fellowship
  • To expand concepts of mission
We enjoy:
  • Companionship Meeting with our sister units, sharing our Lenten breakfast.
  • BOOK CLUB Working and studying together.
  • Having members young and old who love and support each other
  • Come join us for a special time and a cup of coffee
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.
