Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women (PW) offers women in the church meaningful ways to live out their faith in the midst of a caring community of women. PW groups have strengthened the Presbyterian Church and played a major role in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and witnessing to the promise of God’s kingdom. 


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,
  • to support the mission of the church worldwide,
  • to work for justice and peace, and
  • to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

What Presbyterian Women Do


Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery build community; affirm women’s calls to leadership and spiritual growth; and serve as a link between Presbyterian Women in the Congregation groups and the Presbyterian Women in the Synod group.


In terms of accountability and structure, PWP groups

  • elect their own leadership—the coordinating team;

  • plan and implement a yearly program and determine their own budgets;

  • participate in PW programming, such as PW/Horizons Bible study, mission, giving, racial equity, or justice and peace work;

  • support the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.);

  • develop the leadership abilities of women;

  • preserve historical records of PW in the Presbytery; and

  • maintain connections with PW at other governing body levels.
