About us
Phyliss Doane
NEJ UMW President
United Methodist Women has shaped my life. I have grown in spirit, learned to be a leader and been able to do mission locally, state-wide and nationally. During my time as a UMWomen, I realize that God chose me to work with the least of them by visiting prisoners. I have been corresponding with prisoners for 25 years by phone, letter and visits. leadership teams supporting women who have a person incarnated. The witnesses tears my heart out and I know that I’m following God’s plan.

Sharon Noisette
NEJ UMW Vice President
United Methodist Women is by far the most spiritually enriching and grounding experience I have ever encountered. It has changed my approach toward life. The very things I thought I could not do, I’ve been empowered to do by being a part of the organization. It forces me to step out of my comfort zone and roll up my sleeves to do something and make a difference.
