We are women with a Purpose!
"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."

Members raise up to $20 million each year for programs and projects related to women, children and youth in the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.
