Women

Deepen your faith, connect in fellowship, grow in grace, and reach out in mission.

United Women in Faith

United Women in Faith seeks to connect with and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that they can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities. As we grow in our relationship with God and our experience of freedom through Jesus Christ, we can expand the concepts of mission locally and globally.

Troy United Women in Faith support many different missions, local and abroad. Women engage in missions in several ways: volunteering on-site, fundraising for charities, and other programs and activities.
The emblem of United Women in Faith represents the growth of knowledge and blossoming Faith of Women in Jesus Christ throughout the world. The four colors represent Sprit, Leadership, Fellowship, and Education through which we take action to address the needs of women and children in our community.
To participate in any of these opportunities, please contact Bethel Rogers.
