The organized unit of the United Methodist Women shall 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.

The Wilmington-Tewksbury United Methodist Women (UMW) includes members from the Wilmington United Methodist Church and the Tewksbury United Methodist Church. Many of our members meet in small groups, call circles which meet on a monthly basis. Our larger meetings, where all women join together, are held the first Wednesday of the month in October, November, December, February, April, May and June. We take the summer off to refresh and relax.
