Congratulations, delegates!

United Women in Faith members elected to General and Jurisdictional Conference

Annual conference season has come to a close in the United States, and 11 conferences have elected their delegates to the 2028 United Methodist General Conference.

United Women in Faith members answered the call.

Twenty-four members were elected across nine delegations, helping to ensure that United Women in Faith is at the table! We don’t want anyone making decisions about us without us. And members of United Women in Faith bring commitment, vision, partnership, wisdom, and courage to our church. Praise be to God.
