The face to face outreach, the community-based fundraisers, the coming together in kitchens, living rooms and fellowship halls to make food, sew quilts, knit prayer shawls or to assemble school, health, layette and cleaning kits is what United Methodist Women of Faith do across the country. We host forums and legislative days and prayer vigils and spiritual retreats. While serving the immediate needs where we live come together as na organization to end systemic issues of mass incarceration, economic inequality, climate injustice and poor maternal and child health outcomes. Empowering women everywhere changes the world for the better for everyone.  Click here for a message from your Bishop Janes UWF Leadership Team.

​

Our work is inspired by our PURPOSE and turning faith, hope, and love into action. Making this statement a living reality is our goal. Commitment to God’s calling, sensitivity to others, openness to new ideas and a heart for mission are all needed to foster the values that are at the core of the PURPOSE.

The vision of United Women in Faith is to “turn faith, hope and love into action on behalf of women, children and youth around the world.” This is lived out through the following actions:

• We provide opportunities and resources to grow spiritually, become more deeply rooted in Christ and put faith into action.

• We are organized for growth with flexible structures leading to effective witness and action.

• We equip women and girls around the world to be leaders in communities, agencies, workplaces, governments and churches.
