In 1859, The Ladies Aid Society (LAS) was formed to assist in raising funds for a church building. In 1972, Women's Society of Christian Service (WSCS) was chartered as United Methodist Women (UMW).

Some of the activites of the UMW are a Salad Luncheon in May, Harvest Tea in October and a Soup Supper and Cookie Walk in November. They are also responsible for funeral luncheons, altar flower deliveries to shut-ins, bulletin board displays and sponsoring missionaries. The meeting schedule is different for each circle and there are a variety of interesting programs at the meetings.
