United Women in Faith

The United Women in Faith (UMF) is a community of women whose purpose it is to:

  • Know God
  • Experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ
  • Develop a creative supportive fellowship
  • Expand concepts of missions through participation in the global ministries on the Church

Any woman who accepts the purpose and is willing to participate in the work of the United Women in Faith through prayer, giving and service may become a member.
We are a group of “Women in Mission” acting as advocates for women, children & youth, both at home & abroad.

Our theme is: REACH, TEACH, GROW & CONNECT!  All that we do supports our purpose & theme.

The United Women in Faith at Flushing UMC consists of several groups known as circles.

Since each circle is unique in its membership and mission activities, women are encouraged to visit several to determine which one best suits them.  Each circle serves to develop close relationships thru the nature of a small group.

UMF circles include:

  • Unity Circle: Meets the 3rd Wednesday at 10:00 a.m.
  • CARE Circle: Meets the 3rd Wednesday at 7:00 p.m
  • E-Circle: A circle without monthly meetings while allowing participation thru mission work, fellowship and fun as time and interest allows!
