United Women in Faith
United Women in Faith
We believe that love in action can change the world. At Resurrection, we do this through learning, service, sisterhood, and faith opportunities both within the walls of the church and throughout our community.
Each of our members brings their life experience, like colorful tiles, to combine and create exquisite masterpieces. Constantly changing, refreshing, improving…lifting one another up. United Women in Faith is a sisterhood acting in faith to tackle the hard work of the world without hesitation. Faith, action, sisterhood.
Every day we show up, we take action, and we get it done. Join us to see LOVE IN ACTION.

Prison and Foster Care
Monday, September 8, 2025 | 9:30 AM | Resurrection Leawood - Room B206
What happens when a woman gives birth in prison?
Who cares for her baby? What happens next?
Join us for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about the realities facing pregnant women in prison—and the children they bring into the world.
You’ll hear from Teresa Tuchscherer, Chairperson of United Women in Faith’s Ministry to Incarcerated Families for over 25 years, who has long advocated for women at the Topeka Women’s Correctional Facility. She’ll be joined by Katy Nall, Program Director of Mission Engagement at Resurrection West and a leader in the Resurrection Foster Adopt Community.
Together, they’ll share firsthand stories and hard-earned insights—highlighting the complex challenges incarcerated mothers face and the compassionate responses that can bring hope and healing to both mother and child.
