United Women in Faith 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 concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

The Purpose is adopted by the General Conference of the United Methodist Church as the official purpose statement of United Women in Faith. Out of the Purpose are four mission foci:

• To be a community of women
• To know God
• To develop a creative and supportive fellowship
• To expand concepts of mission

Each foci relates to the mission initiatives and priorities of United Women in Faith and the national office.
