A United Methodist Woman is....
A United Methodist Woman is a person whose feet are firmly rooted in the local unit of her church with her wings spread out in the global arena. She is a witness to the story of stories, that the Church has its origin in God's mission in Christ. It is an awe-inspiring story-- a story of commitment and conviction. It is also a story of love and involvement, a story of sacrifice and death. It is the story which the women at the empty tomb of Christ carried into the world. It is the story which our foremothers loved out in their homes implanted in our land, and carried across the seas and continents. Organizationally, the United Methodist Women live out this grand story of life and salvation by empowering women, youth, and children.
