United Methodist Women

Image goes here.
 

We are a community of women whose main purpose is to know God, develop supportive fellowship and expand our mission outreach. In support of these goals, we provide monthly programs, special mission studies, retreats, and other spiritual enrichment opportunities. 

We seek to strengthen fellowship ties through smaller circles within our group as well as expanding fellowship ties to our larger community through District and Conference UMW or mission events.
