The United Methodist Women (UMW) is a community of women 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. To achieve this purpose, the UMW offers general programs, educational, spiritual and social meetings during the year. All women are encouraged to attend events such as the Spiritual Retreat, World Thanks Offering, Prayer Breakfasts and other general meetings.
Each circle has an outreach mission project. These projects include supporting the Loudoun County Abused Women’s Shelter, indigent and homeless families, supporting our college students, card ministry and other outreach programs. Bibles are given to each 3rd grader in our congregation from the UMW.
