United Methodist Women

The purpose of our UMW is to know God and 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 UMW at the Good Shepherd is made up of five (5) Circles, these women provide wonderful programs for their members and the church.
