Experiencing Emmanuel
Mission u is a transformative educational program that encompasses both Bible-based curricula and events. All are welcome to engage with either or both components of Mission u.
Interested in deepening your faith in community? Gaining experience interpreting Scripture? Working toward healing for yourself, your community, and all of creation? Mission u is for you!
Each year, United Women in Faith develops three justice-focused Biblical curricula for adults, youth, and children, all on a common theme. In 2026, our theme is Experiencing Emmanuel. Our focus on developing three curricula around one common theme means that Mission u offers a unique opportunity for faith communities to create powerful intergenerational learning experiences.
Our 2026 Mission u offers the curriculum below. Digital copies are available at uwfaith.org/digital.
- A Deep Knowing: Experiencing Emmanuel Through Every Part of Our Lives Adult Curriculum by Linda Louise Furtado
- God With Us: Experiencing God’s Presence in Our Lives Youth Curriculum by Emily Carle
- Experiencing Emmanuel Children’s Curriculum by Amy Beth Jones

Each Mission u curriculum is designed for eight one-hour sessions. This flexible structure means that the curriculum can easily be used in Sunday school, VBS, small groups, or other ecumenical settings. We encourage you to share the Mission u curricula with your pastor, minister, group and Sunday School leaders, and others all year long.
Conference United Women in Faith members offer Mission u events across the United States, typically in the summer. These events – both in-person and virtual – are open to all who are interested in learning together for the transformation of the world.
Mission u on the 2026 theme of Experiencing Emmanuel will take place in conference and local events across the country beginning in the summer of 2026.
