The United Methodist Women is a mission organization whose members give of themselves through prayer, action and financial gifts in response to God's call. Each year United Methodist Women raise money for local organizations; advocate for the needs of women, children and youth; equip members for service; and join together regularly in fellowship.

The United Methodist Women of Alpharetta First United Methodist Church are a community of women whose purpose is to know GOD; to develop creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand missions through participation in the ministries of this church. 

 

There are more than 200 participants in the Alpharetta First United Methodist women’s circles. Each group meets monthly. We invite you to participate in a supportive community through worship, sharing, praying, studying, working, and serving. Here are a list of the circles for you to choose from.
