About Church Women United
Motto
Agreed to differ, resolved to love, united to serve.
Logo
The Church Women United logo appears in red and gold, with an exploding sun at the center, moving out in the shape of a cross. Those rays suggest dynamic force, vitality, and life, as from the sun, our source of light—and from the Son of God, our source of enlightenment. They also indicate movement, action, power—as His people return to the Source for strength and then move out into the world in mission. The rays show texture and richness, symbolizing the qualities church women can contribute to the world. Texture has to do with the way constituent parts are woven together. So it is that in Church Women United, we unite from diverse backgrounds in a way that provides body and fullness for our witness in a pluralistic, changing society.
Vision Statement
