United Methodist Women
The United Methodist Women, an international organization, originated in 1869 when eight Boston women formed the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society to meet the needs of women and children. Today, more than one million women are involved in this vital organization. Our church’s UMW group is a vibrant collection of individuals of all ages dedicated to improving the lives of women and children through ongoing mission projects on a local, national and global level.
In addition, meeting as various “circle” groups, women gather for Bible study, fellowship and service to our community. Visit Website
