Status & Role of Women
The General Commission on the Status and Role of Women advocates for full participation of women in the total life of The United Methodist Church. We’re helping the church recognize every person – clergy and lay, women and men, adults and children - as full and equal parts of God’s human family. We believe that a fully engaged and empowered membership is vital to The United Methodist Church’s mission "to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."
Data collected through research and monitoring provide snapshots of the role and status of women in various parts of the United Methodist connection.
Every annual conference has its own Commission on the Status and Role of Women promoting gender equality and combating sexism.
Inspired by The Integrity Project at Emory University, this curriculum was developed to encourage living in right relationship with self and others within the faith communities of our local United Methodist ministries.
