The Emblem

The emblem is the emblem of the United Methodist Women, as well as the emblem of the church. It affirms our continuity as women organized for mission and its symbolism affirms our continuous growth and renewal.

The Cross and Flame are ancient symbols of the church, dating back to the days of Christ and Pentecost. Each evokes images of sacrifice, witness and service. This symbol reminds us of our purpose of helping women grow as persons and in community in their understanding of and willingness to participate in the global mission of the church. It reminds us of our heritage, women who pioneered in service for the church at home and abroad and in organization of women for mission service and support in many areas of need.​
​
The shape of the emblem is fluid and free flowing, suggesting change and mobility. As organized groups of women, this has been our heritage, often at the forefront of movements for change, aware always of the times and striving to move them rather than be overwhelmed by them. The emblem, and what it represents to us as well as the individual women, is part of the United Methodist Women today. (from the Handbook for United Methodist Women)
