United Methodist Women is an organization of approximately one million members worldwide whose purpose is to foster spiritual growth, develop leaders and advocate for justice. Members raise nearly $25 million each year for programs and projects related to women, children and youth in the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.
Regular BA-UMW Programs
At Boston Avenue, we have numerous United Methodist Women groups involved in study and mission work, both locally and globally. Small groups, or circles, meet monthly at different times of the day to study together and support each other in mission, and the group hosts an annual membership tea each September. For working folks, we have a couple of evening circles. There are also daytime groups available. Please call Paul Staat at 699.0133 to find a group.
UMW supports several local and area missions, such as the Cookson Hills Center near Tahlequah and the United Methodist Children’s Home and Boys’ Ranch, through volunteering and donating resources. The group also helps host Annual Conference every two years when it meets at the church.
