UNITED WOMEN IN FAITH
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDIES
Dunwoody UMC has a very active women’s ministry that spans all age groups and interests. Our groups welcome women who want to broaden their faith, make new friends, connect with like-minded women and participate in service projects. From small groups to banquets with guest speakers, there’s something for every woman at DUMC.

United Women in Faith

What Is United Women in Faith?

We are a supportive, inclusive Christian membership organization for women to grow spiritually and work to create a world in which all women, children and youth thrive.

What We Do

Our membership runs between 275-300 ladies who meet monthly September – May. We are organized into 8 different circles representing all age groups. Each group is known as a “Circle” and meets monthly to engage in fellowship, mission work, Bible study and fun. We invite speakers on various topics and work on service projects like feeding the homeless, donating time and materials to community charities, working on global mission projects, participating in Bible studies and providing support to members who are sick, grieving, having babies and much more.

UMW Missions

In 2020, Dunwoody UMW was recognized by the North GA Conference as a Goal of Excellence Unit and a Five Star Giving Unit. We also gave over $6000 in 2020 to national UMW Missions through our pledge drive. Because of our members’ generosity, we were able to donate the following in 2020: click here to view.

Women of the Word Book Study

Wednesday, April 27-May 18, 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Join us on Wednesday nights for a discussion around Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Minds by Jen Wilkin We all know it’s important to study God’s word. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. What’s more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible? Women of the Word has helped countless women with a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. This book will equip you to engage God’s word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart. This study will be in person only and will run 4 weeks! Schedule: Week 1 (April 27)- Chapters 1 and 2- Turning Things Around and The Case for Bible Literacy Week 2 (May 4)- Chapters 3 and 4- Study with Purpose and Study with Perspective Week 3 (May 11)- Chapters 5 and 6- Study with Patience and Study with Process Week 4- (May 18)- Chapters 7 and 8- Study with Prayer and Pulling It Together To purchase the book, click HERE Click HERE to RSVP!
