UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
We create opportunities for women to deepen their faith together.
We live into the mission of the global United Methodist Church to foster a community of women who know God, develop a creative and supportive fellowship, and expand mission efforts on a local and global scale. Here at Christ UMC, we are one unit with multiple UMW Circles that are open to the entire community to grow in fellowship and faith together. We also host different events throughout the year that give back to our community. To learn more about United Methodist Women, contact Myra Buffaloe, UMW President, at fedlady007@comcast.net.

UMW/United Women of Faith Missions
Our women's groups come together all year long to raise funds for local, regional, and global missions. Aside from collecting donations, the women host their annual rummage sale every spring, all proceeds going toward a particular mission. The quarterly Unit Meetings are focused on future fundraising and mission endeavors, including World Thank Day, when everyone brings loose change for benefits, or creating hygiene bags and pocketbook collecting to fill with supplies for the Wesley House Grannies program. There are so many needs in our community, and these women help meet those needs all year round!
