Purpose
United Methodist Women (UMW) is the group of women at Mt. Pisgah organized for missions. Because the United Methodist Church is a connectional church, local units of UMW relate directly to district and conference organizations. The organized unit is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand the concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church. A member of UMW is one who commits herself to our purpose and chooses to participate in monthly meetings, prayer, giving, study, action, and/or service. General UMW meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month.
Circles
Our local church unit is divided into subgroups called circles, which also meet monthly--during the second week of the month, September to May--but on varying days and times to accommodate individual schedules. These meetings provide the opportunity for spiritual growth, Christian service and fellowship. Circles also become wonderful support groups. Your circle friends will be there to rejoice with you in good times and to give you support and encouragement in difficult times.

Circle 1: Meets Third Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. (Parlor)
Circle 2: Meets Second Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. (Conference Room)
Circle 3: Meets Second Monday at 7:00 p.m.

We hope you will choose a time convenient to your schedule and join a circle so that you may grow to know God and other church members in a special way!
