The mission of BUMC Women is to nurture, encourage, and equip women to faithfully and fully use their God-given gifts to glorify God. We offer opportunities for friendship, mentoring, and personal growth through women's studies, United Methodist Women, Moms at BUMC programs, and other events throughout the year. Due to COVID, our in-person activities are suspended for the time being. We look forward to gathering together again as soon as possible.

Virtual Holiday Market

For years you have enthusiastically supported the United Methodist Women’s Holiday Market, which supports missions such as Legacy Mission Village, Project Transformation, End Slavery TN, Siloam Health Clinic, and more. Despite the unusual circumstances of 2020, UMW is continuing to support these valuable, life-affirming ministries. In lieu of a holiday market this year, please consider a generous donation to Brentwood United Methodist Women to support these organizations. Make a donation by check (memo line BUMW) or by Venmo (@Brentwood-MethodistWomen).
