UMW at National UMC in Washington DC
The UMW unit of National United Methodist Church 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 ministries of the church. We achieve our purpose by working for justice through service and advocacy. Our members are concerned about issues affecting the well-being of women and children. We invite experts to speak to our group about education, immigration, homelessness, human trafficking, and other issues. Our unit supports missionaries around the world and works to educate local members on the needs of the global community. We are engaged in helping our local community through our annual Great Day of Service when we collect food, make health kits, and work on other activities to help those in need. Nurturing one’s faith is one of the focuses of the United Methodist Women, and National UMC’s UMW provides opportunities to grow closer to God and develop spiritually during each person’s faith journey.
We are a community of approximately 150 women of all ages, races, and interests. Members participate as at-large members or as part of small groups, which we call Circles. Our circles meet for fellowship, mutual support, study, devotion, and mission work. Circles are self-selected based on interests, spiritual desires, and stages of life. We encourage you to come and visit any of our circles that interest you. All women are welcome.
More information about our circles is on the UMW page of the National UMC website.
We are always happy to meet new women who are interested in UMW or National UMC. Contact us to learn more about faith, hope and love in action!
