She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
Proverbs 31:25
United Women in Faith has a stated purpose that the group "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". "Our Women in Faith unit meets monthly for prayer, to discuss service opportunities and to plan for church events. Please see the link below to learn more about United Women in Faith.
We welcome any woman of the church to join with us in Christian service to others.

An explanation of the purpose and processes of CarePortal has been posted on the home page of this site. There are many avenues of assistance we, as a church and as individuals, can provide - please take a minute to become familiar with how you can offer help to prevent a child from being placed in foster care.
Sincere thanks to each of you for considering CarePortal.
