Our “Purpose”

“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.”

This is the reason United Methodist Women exist.  We are women dedicated to the work of mission, primarily with (but not limited to) women, children and youth. 

We are comprised of women of various races, nationalities, religions, ages and physical abilities, and we welcome all women who would like to make a difference in the lives of others, across the street, the nation and the world. 

Oddly enough, United Methodist Women are not all United Methodist by denomination and every woman in the United Methodist Church does not belong to this group.  Only those who pledge to uphold the ‘Purpose’ as stated above can be a part.

We also have a teen component for young women ages 12-17 who are interested in training in local, national and world mission.
