UM Women

Welcome to UMW at OBUMC!! We are a group of women of all ages who focus on Christian fellowship and mission.

UMW is:
FAITHFUL: it provides opportunities for you for spiritual growth and challenges you to practice your faith in personal and societal relationships
SUPPORTIVE: it offers Christian friendship and affirms the potential of every woman

UNIQUE: it has been organized for more than 138 years, spans the nation and world with local units of women gathered for mission, and assures ministries to women, children, and youth locally, nationally, and globally.
RESPONSIVE: it studies broad social issues and advocates legislation that affirms all human rights.
GLOBAL: it focuses on the mission outreach of the church and you will learn what is happening to people everywhere.

Our 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 mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.
