United Women of Faith (United Methodist Women) are very active in the missions of the community and the church. One joins UMW by committing to our purpose through participation in meetings, prayer, study, giving, action and service. We encourage circle membership for the benefits of friendship, fellowship, communication and support that these groups provide.

Programs are planned to include all four emphases stated in our purpose; Spiritual Growth, Social Action, Education and Interpretation, and Membership and Outreach.

The organized unit of the United Methodist Women is a community of faith whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

The missions and meeting of Central’s UMW are wide in scope…some support missions, others aid in the spiritual growth of those who attend. The list below is just an example… please contact a member of  the UMW to learn about specific upcoming events and meetings.

At Central, a Circle is a small group of women who meet regularly for fellowship, spiritual growth, service, and support. Rooted in Methodist tradition, Circles offer a meaningful way to connect with other women while serving the church and community together.
