United Methodist Women

United Methodist Women is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and 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. 

​

At South Shore we extend an invitation to women of all ages to join to help empower and improve the lives of women, youth, and children in the United States and around the world by: 

• Providing opportunities to grow spiritually

• Equipping women and girls to be leaders

• Providing transformative educational experiences

• Organizing for growth and flexibility

• Working for justice through service and advocacy
