Center for Pastoral Effectiveness

United Methodist Women is a specific adult ministry geared towards adult females. It began in the 1800s as home and foreign missionary societies. According to the Discipline, every church should organize a UMW group. While it is to focus on ministries with women, children, and youth, mission work is still a major priority in UMW. |
