PURPOSE: The organized unit of 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.
MEMBERSHIP: Any woman, whether or not she is a member of the United Methodist Church, may become a member (only the President is required by the Discipline to be a member of the United Methodist Church) by indicating a desire to participate in the work, by any one or more of the ways that are open to her for mission, such as:
prayer, giving, and study, action, service, interest, time and ability.
The door of belonging to a supportive Christian fellowship is wide open and welcoming-not restrictive and confining.
I PLEDGE:
My prayers: to bind me closer to Him in whose strength I live;
My service: in the extension of God's Kingdom;
My gifts: to the support of the UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
CIRCLES:
