The Reading Program

United Women in Faith’s Reading Program is designed to help women of faith to achieve five key goals: lean into our spiritual growth, strengthen our leadership skills, equip ourselves for local and global mission, take faithful action for the common good, and build community in ways large and small. Anyone, anywhere, can participate—whether you are a member of United Women in Faith already or just getting to know us.

For a Reading Program Form to participate or information on where books are available contact JoEllen: jegrn15@gmail.com or (303) 766-7909.
