UWF in ACTION

History & Legacy 

​1869: 8 women
Today: 800,000 members

United Women in Faith (formerly United Methodist Women) inherits the vision and toil of women’s missionary societies of eight denominations since 1869. Its 150-year legacy started when the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society first organized in Boston in response to a lack of women’s health in India.

Women in the Methodist and Evangelical United Brethren traditions organized about the same time in history (1869-1893) when women and children were legally classified as “chattel, legally dead, non-persons.” There was little service to women because of prejudice and limitations of cultural attitudes in the church and in society.

Mission Outreach

Our local UWF dollars support both global and local missions:

  • Climate Justice - Protecting God’s creation and those who are disproportionately affected by global climate change is more than our belief; it is one of our core principles.

  • Racial Justice - United Women in Faith is deeply committed to the ongoing work of racial justice. We strive to be in right relationship with one another; we work together for the transformation of church and world, following the teaching and example of Jesus Christ.
