United Women in FaithAnchor Park United Women in Faith "The organized unit of United Women in Faith shall be a community of women whose PURPOSE is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church." There are over a million members of United Women of Faith worldwide.
Membership in United Women in Faith is open to all women who seek to be a part of a supportive community committed to the UWiF PURPOSE. The Anchor Park unit meets the 3rd Sunday of the month during September- May. We also gather throughout the summer for special events, such as our annual retreat to Girdwood and the state-wide Annual Gathering in Fairbanks October 2024. |
