We have been renamed “United Women In Faith”.
United Methodist Women will remain our legal name. Here is an excerpt from the March 2, 2022 Press Release:
“United Methodist Women is now United Women in Faith! The move is part of a refreshing of the organization that includes a new logo and an array of new and improved programs to nurture current members and welcome new women to join to put their love in action on behalf of women, children, and youth.
The changes are designed to address the different needs and life stages of current members and new women and expand options for membership and engagement. The new name also aims to welcome current members whose local churches may choose to disaffiliate from The United Methodist Church as well as women of other faith traditions who want to join. United Women in Faith seeks to connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that they can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities.
The mission of the UWF/UMW is to 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.
All women in the church and community are invited to participate.
We focus on missions with emphasis on women, children and youth.
Our mission initiatives include:
Providing opportunities to grow spiritually, and providing transformative educational experiences through
reading books that increase our understanding of societal issues and may take us out of our comfort zones.
Working for justice through service and advocacy.
