Presbyterian Women 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 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.
Women's
groups in the Presbyterian Church have a powerful
history. Since the early1800's, Presbyterian
Women (PW) have organized themselves to support
mission and combat social injustices nationally
and internationally.
While the levels of involvement and recognition
from the denominations has varied, women's dedication
to living out God's call through women's organizations
has remained steady.
With a history of more than 200 years, PW is
committed to nurturing faith, supporting the
church's mission, working for justice and building
community. More than 300,000 women live out
these commitments through Presbyterian Women
in exciting, growth-inspiring ways.
At the PCOF, PW organize potluck and charity
dinners, participate in overseas mission work
in a variety of ways, support local charities
and hold fundraisers, and provide food and clothing
for shelters in the region.
Consider joining Presbyterian Women and
make a difference in someone's life!
