United Methodist Women

UMW serves to provide fellowship for the women of our church and to give meaningful service to our church and community.

Our goal is to balance our programs between education about issues pertinent to women, children and youth along with fellowship activities and service and mission oriented projects. Listed below are some of the programs we offer throughout the year.
