The United Methodist Women are an integral part of the Methodist Church by there prayers, service, gifts and there support of missions, home and abroad. The purpose of the United Methodist Women is to know God and to experience freedom as whole person through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative, supportive fellowship and to expand concepts of missions through participation in the global ministries of the church.

The women of the Northridge United Methodist Church organized the Ladies Aid Society (LAS) in 1927. This society remained in service until 1940 when this group became the Women Society of Christian Service (WSCS). The Women Society of Christian Service continued there work and support until the year 1973 when the women reorganized again and now became the United Methodist Women. This chapter of the women service has been in existence for the last thirty five (35) years.

The women have active programs which you are invited to join.

If you like to play Bridge you can join the Magpies or the Blue Jays. These groups meet at various places on Tuesday. One group meets the first Tuesday the other group meets on the fourth Tuesday.
