United Women in Faith’s ministry is
Focused on Women, Children, and Youth
Women
Women have been empowered by leadership education opportunities, mission education, the Reading Program, tools for advocacy and more. These opportunities allow women to act and to empower women in the United States and abroad.
Children
A special emphasis of United Women in Faith is children, because women care for children. If children are raised with safety, security, food, shelter, education, and basic human rights, these children will grow to be loving and secure adults. United Methodist Women believe deeply in responding to Jesus’ mandate to “care for the least of these.”
Children often do not have a voice in this world, so United Methodist Women cares for them and advocates on their behalf. United Women in Faith commits to children globally through community centers, educational opportunities for refugee children, homes for street children, advocacy against sexual exploitation and child labor, educational institutions and much more.
Youth
United Women in Faith work with youth organizations globally and with programs and projects that support and empower youth. United Women in Faith also enables youth to be in mission by support of the US-2 program, the mission intern program and the Global Justice Volunteers program
A special emphasis of the organization has been to involve young women in all the ministries and leadership of United Women in Faith. A teen and college/university women consultative group helps direct the program of United Women in Faith to be more inclusive of younger women
