We’ve led the fight for fair pay and economic opportunity for women — and the battle continues: Women still get just 83 cents for every dollar paid to a man, and men continue to dominate the top roles and highest-paying professions.
Though we are nonpartisan, we are not values-neutral: We fight to remove the barriers and biases that stand in the way of gender equity. We train women to negotiate for pay and benefits and to pursue leadership roles. And we advocate for federal, state and local laws and policies to ensure equity and end discrimination.
We’ve been working to narrow the gender pay gap, which greets women as soon as they enter the workforce and widens throughout their working lives. Unequal wages stand in the way of a woman’s ability to pay off student debt, build wealth and save for a secure retirement.
We champion equal opportunities in education. Though more than 60% of college graduates are women, they face barriers and biases throughout their schooling. From pre-school to graduate school, girls and women are unconsciously steered into certain fields of studies and away more lucrative ones, such as in STEM.
Our members, supporters and staff work on local, state and federal levels to support laws and policies that enable women’s success. Our work in statehouses and the U.S. Capitol has helped pass hundreds of pieces of legislation. Our Legal Advocacy team has supported plaintiffs in more than 125 gender equity legal cases.
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, straight, active duty, veteran, filthy rich, or dirt poor. We extend a special welcome to crying newborns, those who are skinny as a rail or could afford to lose a few pounds. Or more than a few 🙂 You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you’re more religious than the Pope, more Methodist than Wesley, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s baptism. Just come. Come exactly as you are, and let God do something amazing.
Worship is every Sunday morning at 9:00am. There is a fully staffed, loving nursery if you need it, but we also welcome kids of any age in worship. Worship lasts about 75 minutes, followed by coffee, goodies, and conversation in the Fireside Room.
If you can’t make it in person, join us for worship by watching the sermon on Youtube Live at 9:30am on Pastor Dawn’s Facebook page, or tuning into KVLV at 9:30am.

We open 8am to 4:30pm weekdays. We serve Soup of the Day at 11am and Lunch is served at 11:30-12:30 each day. This is an opportunity to bring people together from all over the area to socialize, enjoy a hot, delicious, nutritious lunch, sharing in the daily news and weekly activities and events and enjoying each other’s company. Volunteers are a vital part of the operations, providing help in all areas of the Center. Meals On Wheels is more than a meal, delivering a meal each day to those who are unable to come to lunch at the center, for health or mobility reasons. Homebound are provided a daily check to support their independence, which allows many to stay in their own home, avoiding early institutionalization.
Homemakers are available to provide basic housekeeping services, grocery shopping, prescription pick up and transportation to medical appointments to those persons age 60 and over who are unable to perform daily activities and qualify under grant standards.
