Our Vision: As United Church Women we believe:
• that as Christian women of faith, we nurture spirituality by reaching out with commitment and devotion to all God's people;
• in promoting truth, justice, peace, caring and sharing with respect for all in the community and wider world;
• in loving God and others by living generously and giving joyfully; and,
• in affirming and strengthening ourselves creatively in study and witness through music, laughter and solitude.

The Newtonbrook United Church Women are not currently meeting, but in the past, they met in the Fellowship Room for devotion and fellowship. In May and November, four Pearson Place volunteers cooked and served a delicious meal at lunchtime. The UCW invited all ladies of the congregation for these luncheon meetings. For other meetings, two members of the Women Now group made tea and coffee and served it each month.
From Freewill Offerings collected through the years, the group has been able to support the following:
• United Church Mission and Service Fund
• The Newtonbrook United Church Benevolent Fund
• The Drop Inn program
