United Methodist Women

UMW of Coppell 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 the concept of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.  This community of women nurtures and encourages each other in spiritual growth and development. 

UMW Circles - The circles provide a great opportunity to develop a creative, supportive fellowship while expanding the concept of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church. The UMW daytime and evening groups meet monthly, September through May. There are also two youth circles, one for middle school girls and one for high school girls.
