What's New in March
Power our Unstoppable movement
The 2025 Unit Survey is now open! As part of the Unstoppable Campaign to grow, deepen, and sustain United Women in Faith for the future, this year’s survey provides critical insight into what’s working, what’s needed, and where we must go next. Your voice helps shape how we strengthen our sisterhood and expand our collective impact.
The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, and closes March 31. Please also share the survey widely with local and district leaders in your network through newsletters and at meetings, training, and events.
The website is uwfaith.org/unit-survey.
Help us know how to better grow and engage membership, foster leadership development, and increase program awareness and participation. Together we are Unstoppable, and we will continue shaping a bold future grounded in faith, justice, and action for women, children, and youth.
