United Methodist Women is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as a whole person through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative, supportive fellowship, and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church. Their vision is turning faith, hope, and love into action on behalf of women, children, and youth around the world. UMW provides opportunities and resources to grow spiritually, to become more deeply rooted in Christ, and to put faith into action. Any woman who commits herself to the purpose and chooses to belong is a member. She can join a Circle, attend a Gathering, or even join online. Sunrise UMW holds Circle Gathering four times per year.
