Get to know us, get involved, attend a monthly forum!

Our monthly forum features a particular topic vital to the mission of Church Women United, with a particular focus on issues and concerns affecting the lives of women, children, families, people at the margins, and the larger bioregion of Lane County.

Speakers are experienced in their field, and often open our minds, hearts, and imagination to work for the good of those most in need of advocacy, support, justice, and encouragement in Lane County.

Our monthly forums are open to all women who wish to explore the ecumenical dimensions of Christian faith in action, and who desire to share in our work of advancing the mission of Church Women United. Women may join through their local church or participate as individuals.

When and where we meet ...

Early risers with busy days can join us at 7:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday morning of the month at Brails Restaurant (1689 Willamette Street), September through June (exception our May celebration which is always the first Saturday).

Our regular monthly forum usually is at 9:00 a.m. on first Fridays, September through June (again with the May exception on the first Saturday). Check each month's location because we meet at different churches!
