A community of women growing in faith, serving with purpose, and leading with love.

✨ Who We Are

United Women in Faith is a vibrant, justice‑seeking, spiritually grounded sisterhood within the Methodist tradition. We gather to deepen our faith, support one another, and make a meaningful difference in our church, our community, and the world.

Our group welcomes women of all ages and backgrounds who feel called to grow, serve, and lead with compassion.

💖 Our Purpose

  • Nurture spiritual growth and discipleship
  • Support women, children, and youth locally and globally
  • Advocate for justice and equity
  • Build friendships rooted in faith and service
  • Live out Christ’s love through hands‑on mission

 

🤝 What We Do

Many women choose to connect through a Circle — a small group of about five to twenty members who meet monthly at a church location or a local restaurant. Each Circle has its own rhythm, but gatherings often include an opening devotional, time to share joys and concerns, important announcements, planning for upcoming service projects or events, and plenty of fellowship and refreshments.

Some Circles use study materials provided by the national United Women in Faith organization, while others focus on hands‑on mission work. All Circles come together for Unit Meetings, and every woman in the church is warmly invited to attend these gatherings — whether or not she belongs to a Circle.

Mother’s Day Weekend Brunch Brings Joy, Fellowship, and Music

Last Saturday, May 10, our United Women in Faith gathered for a wonderful Mother’s Day Weekend Brunch at the Franklin Campus. The United Methodist Men created a festive and welcoming atmosphere in Fellowship Hall and prepared a delicious menu featuring French toast, a savory potato‑sausage‑egg casserole, and a beautiful fruit compote.

Around 25 women attended — a joyful turnout despite the busy season of graduations and weddings. Laughter and conversation filled the room as women enjoyed time to connect, relax, and celebrate one another.

A special highlight of the morning was a musical offering from Evelyn Dillard, accompanied by Mamie Bryan, who shared a medley of familiar tunes that added warmth and beauty to the gathering.

We are grateful for the United Methodist Men and for every woman who joined us for this meaningful time of fellowship.
