United Women in Faith
We are an active group of women who support and serve others through fellowship and the global ministries of the church. We invite all women to participate. It is not necessary to be a United Methodist.
Our unit supports the Good Samaritan Fund of First Church and Youth Camperships through the Merritt Memorial Fund, prepares Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets, and has also contributed to the David & Margaret Home and Methodist Hospital.
As a Five Star Unit, we support the district and conference by attaining specific goals that require active participation. Our unit also recognizes a church member annually for his or her outstanding service.
Our Purpose
The organized unit of United Methodist Women is 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 ministeries of the church.
