To serve and unite those we touch with the Grace of God

United Methodist Women

The mission of the UMW is to build a supportive community among women; to be an advocate for the oppressed and dispossessed with special attention to the needs of women and children; and to engage in activities that foster growth in the Christian faith, mission education, and christian social involvement throughout the organization.
