The Women’s Fellowship Guild at the Church of Christ Uniting is a warm and active community of women dedicated to faith, fellowship, and service. Rooted in the traditions of both the Methodist and Presbyterian heritage of our congregation, the Guild brings women together to grow spiritually, support one another, and make a positive impact in our church and community
Who We Are
Our Guild is made up of women of all ages who share a desire for Christian fellowship and a heart for serving others. Whether you are new to the church or have been part of the congregation for years, you will find a welcoming space to connect, build friendships, and participate in meaningful ministry.
What We Do
The Women’s Fellowship Guild is involved in a variety of activities throughout the year, including:
- Service Projects that support our church family, local organizations, and mission efforts
- Seasonal Events and Fundraisers, such as craft fairs, bake sales, and community outreach projects
- Fellowship Gatherings, offering opportunities for spiritual growth, conversation, and mutual support
- Hands-on Ministries, including preparing meals, assembling gift baskets, supporting community needs, and assisting during special worship services
These efforts not only bless our congregation but also extend the love of Christ beyond our walls.
Get Involved
The Guild welcomes all women who wish to serve, connect, and grow in faith. Whether you can join regularly or help with occasional events, your presence and gifts are valued.
If you would like more information about the Women’s Fellowship Guild—including meeting times, upcoming projects, or how to get involved—please contact the church office. We’d be delighted to welcome you into this wonderful ministry.
