The PURPOSE of United Methodist Women
The Purpose is adopted by the General Conference of The United Methodist Church as the official mission statement of United Methodist Women.
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 of the church.
Out of the Purpose are four mission foci that relate to the mission initiatives and priorities of United Methodist Women.
- To be a community of women
- To know God
- To develop a creative and supportive fellowship
- To expand concepts of mission
We celebrated the United Methodist Women of Gardner Memorial UMC this past Sunday. I cannot fully express the good works of this historic group in the United Methodist Church. They dedicate so much energy to helping women/children throughout the world. They do more mission than many even realize. They support the church in so many ways and I just wanted to tell them all how much I appreciate them. May God continue to bless their work and ministry.
Blessings,
Rev. Candace
