United Methodist Women
Our 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. With six Women’s Circles that meet on a monthly basis, each circle supports and actively participates in a mission project throughout the year.
