United Women in Faith
United Women in Faith is a place where women of all ages come together to grow in faith and community. We meet on the first Wednesday afternoon each month, gathering for fellowhip, study, service and fun, allowing women to connect with each other and deepen their relationship with God.
Through service projects and funding, UWF supports organizations within our local community and other places who serve women, children, and youth.

Teacher Appreciation
Since 2020, we have reached out to Community Partners to assist us in celebrating the educators and staff at Siuslaw and Mapleton School Districts. At the start of each school year, Church volunteers assemble nearly 300 bags filled with donated goodies, freebies, and coupons. This ministry encourages our local teachers and support staff and helps create a positive start to each school year not only for our educators but for our janitors, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, office staff, and all other classified staff. Additionally, a positive school environment benefits our students most!
