United Methodist Women
The United Methodist Women 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 and local ministries of the church.
UMW Circles - UMW circles are simply smaller groups of women from our church and our community who meet together throughout the year. These gatherings provide a great opportunity to meet women in an atmosphere that fosters colse friendships. Even though the meetings are only once a month, September through May, the connections you make can last a lifetime.
Whether you are looking to get more involved in the church, feel a call to provide hands-on minssion to those in need, are going through a big change in your life, want to make new friends, or want to insert a few hours of meaningful time into your fast-paced life, there is a cirlce for you.
Try a circle out this month - you can join anytime throughout the year. Your attendance is a gift to others!

Mission Circle: If you want to be involved in the missions that UMW supports, but you just don’t have the time or interest in being in one of the previously listed circles, then this circle is for you. Simply provide your name, email and/or phone number (see contact information below) and you will receive information about the missions for which we are actively seeking volunteers. If you can participate in the mission, just respond to the email or phone call you receive. You will then have the opportunity to serve others and meet other women from the church and our community.
