theological development are at the heart of United Methodist Women.

persons through Jesus Christ. This includes, education for mission,
awareness of social issues, leadership development, schools of Christian
mission, events like National Seminar and Assembly, and financial support
for mission programs and projects throughout the United States and around
the world. These experiences are
