Asbury UMW

Asbury United Methodist ChurchNext StepsGroupsAsbury UMW

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 a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of Missions through participation in the Global Ministries of the Church.

Why join Asbury’s UMW?
• To help others in need ~ especially women, children and youth – locally, nationally, and globally
• To gain personal spiritual growth and enrichment from our programs, and reading and study opportunities
• To experience Christian fellowship, support and friendship

To the woman who finds meaning in her church and is drawn to its fellowship, who wants to combine fellowship with study, worship and outreach opportunities, who feels she has gifts that are to be shared with others, who seeks a supportive community to affirm her own sense of purpose and commitment to God…

United Methodist Women invite you to “grow spiritually through worship, Bible study and prayer, celebrate the person you are becoming in Jesus Christ, develop meaningful and lasting relationships, share who you are and your gifts, take action and make a difference in your community and the world.
