JUST ENERGY 4ALL

As United Women in Faith we are still committed to spiritual growth, leadership development, transformative education, social justice and improving the lives of women, children, and youth around the world. We've never required that members have specific church membership and that isn't changing. Our new name makes it clear that our door is open to all women of faith. We welcome you to our community!

Wendy Campbell, 2023 NTC UWF President.
