The Church of Women United in Grand Rapids is a local chapter of the national women's ecumenical Christian organization. Scrapbooks and materials collected from the state and Battle Creek chapters detail the events and customs of the group.

The Church of Women United (CWU) in Grand Rapids is arranged in two series: Grand Rapids Chapter materials and Other Chapters. The Grand Rapids series contains scrapbooks dated from 1925 to 2003. The earlier materials are from church groups that would later become the Church of Women United in Grand Rapids. This series includes a 1951 letter signed by Gerald R. Ford, demonstrating his support of sending federal food aid to India.

The Other Chapters series includes collected materials from the Battle Creek and Michigan's state chapters.
