Holston Conference United Methodist Women

Mission Today


The purpose of promoting a Mission Today Unit is to:

  • Energize United Methodist Women to be more involved in mission through prayer, study and action
  • Increase contacts between units and mission personnel and mission projects so the United Methodist Women understand where their money goes
  • Encourage the use of mission resources through United Methodist Women
  • Expand concepts of mission, including social justice as mission

What's a Unit?

A unit is any organized group of United Methodist Women within a church or district. Some units are composed of several circles, which periodically get together for a unit meeting.

How Do We Become a Mission Today Unit?

In order to be recognized as a Mission Today Unit, UMW groups must complete a Mission Today form for items completed between December 1 and November 30.

Gold Certificates will be awarded to units completing 75% of goals (6 starred plus 6 others, total of 12); Silver Certificates will be awarded for 50% of goals (4 starred plus 4 others, total of 8). The report is due to the District Education and Interpretation Coordinator by December 1 each year.

For questions about Mission Today, contact Gloria Sims, Holston Conference Mission Coordinator at email gj@mounet.com or visit the Women's Division Website for Mission Today.
