About United Methodist Women (UMW)
The organized unit of 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 chruch.
In addition to assisting local as well as global mission efforts, the UMW also provides opportunities for fellowship to the women of our church and community at large throughout the year. For example, The Annual Spring Fling is a huge hit and was greatly attended this past spring.
