What is Women’s Ministry Sunday?
Women’s Ministry Sunday is one of five Awareness Special Sundays that highlight ministries and causes important to the entire United Methodist Church. On this day, we celebrate the vital role of women in the life, mission, and leadership of the church. It recognizes the gifts, service, and faith of women in all areas of ministry—whether lay or clergy, local or global.
Why Does It Matter?
Throughout Scripture and church history, women have been leaders, prophets, caregivers, and disciples. This day honors that legacy and encourages ongoing advocacy, leadership development, and spiritual growth for women of all ages and backgrounds.
Women’s Ministry Sunday matters because it celebrates the God-given gifts, leadership, and faithful service of women within the church and in the world.
When is Women’s Ministry Sunday Celebrated?
Women’s Ministry Sunday is typically observed on a date chosen by the local church or annual conference, often aligned with Women’s History Month (March) or other denominational observances.
How Can I Be Part of the Ministry?
You can take part by lifting up women’s voices in worship, leading discussions on gender equity and leadership, supporting United Women in Faith, or mentoring younger women in faith and service. All are invited to celebrate the ways women continue to shape the church and the world. Read stories and articles about the power of women [here].
