Presbyterian Women
If you are a woman and you are Presbyterian, you are a member of Presbyterian Women!
What is PW?
Presbyterian Women is for everyone. We study God’s word and enjoy fellowship with other women who are committed to spiritual discipleship and serving Christ through missions.
Everything we do as an organization and as a community is guided by our PW Purpose, and that includes ministry, resources and relationships.
Our Purpose
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to:
- nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
- support the mission of the church worldwide,
- work for justice and peace, and
- build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.
Who is in PW?
Anyone who supports the Purpose in any way is participating in Presbyterian Women. So even if you’re just learning about Presbyterian Women, there’s a good chance you’re already supporting Presbyterian Women—in spirit or in action!
Presbyterian Women is coordinated through the PW Council, which plans events and fellowship opportunities throughout the year that anyone can take part in!
