United Methodist Women
Our Divine Street United Methodist Women are known for their efforts in ministry to women, youth, and children around the world.
From donations to hands-on work in the community, you are likely to see our women quietly making a difference in the lives of others.
A typical gathering will include devotion time, an interesting program, and planning efforts for upcoming projects - all designed to speak especially to the heart of women!
Our UMW meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:30pm in the Visioning Center.

Our Purpose

The overall fluid and free flowing shape of the emblem suggests change and mobility.
Our foremothers were advocates for change; change and growth continue to be at the heart of United Methodist Women's sisterhood and mission.
