The United Methodist Women is a group of women who seek to know God, and to experience freedom as whole persons as shown by Jesus Christ. In our organization we develop supportive fellowship and expand our understanding of the mission of the church. We contribute to the global ministries of the church, expecially the services to women, children, and youth.
