Participating in small group activities at Grinnell UMC builds our relationship with Jesus Christ while forming relationships within our church community. Small groups offer opportunities to learn from Scripture and each other, as we discover ways to build up other people and the Body of Christ.

UWF is a worldwide women’s group within the United Methodist Church. You do not need to be a member of the church to be a member of the United Women of Faith. We meet approximately monthly in small groups called “circles,” at various times to accommodate busy schedules. We also have times when all of us can get together, and when we meet with other UMW groups in our state.
