Our Mission
Our four circles have a mission of helping women and children, locally and throughout the world. We host different types of fundraisers throughout the year to support many different organizations that help women and children prosper.
In addition to our fundraisers, we also pledge annually to our United Women in Faith (UWF) district. All of these funds are distributed by the Women’s Division of the General Board of Global Ministries of the Methodist Church to organizations in the U.S. as well as throughout the world. We also contribute to the missions of Baker Memorial, donating to some of its many ministries. We are a busy group of women who will, with God’s help, continue our missions by pledging our money, time and talents. A heartfelt invitation is extended to all women in our congregation! Which Circle is best for YOU?
