The Organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be 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 official emblem for United Methodist Women as well as The United Methodist Church is the combination of the cross and flame. These ancient symbols represent Christ and Pentecost. The shape of the emblem is fluid and free-flowing, suggesting change and mobility.

"I now remind you to stir into flame the gift of God which is within you." (2 Timothy 1:6a)

Our heritage is one of sacrifice, witness, and service. The emblem serves as a continuing reminder of both opportunity and obligation.
