Presbyterian
Women (PW) is the national women’s organization of the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.). With a history of more than 200 years and more
than 300,000
members, PW is organized at all levels of the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.).
PW offers women in the church meaningful ways to live out their faith
in the midst of a caring community of women. PW groups strengthen
the Presbyterian Church and play a major role in sharing the good
news of Jesus Christ and witnessing to the promise of God's kingdom. |
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. |

Mission
matters to Presbyterian Women. In addition to being one of the
points
of the PW Purpose,
support for mission is a thread running through all the work PW
does in congregations, presbyteries, synods and churchwide. Mission
takes many forms for Presbyterian Women—participation in
or support of the Global Exchange, giving money to PW and ecumenical
offerings as well as the mission pledge and sharing in
hands-on mission activities.
The diversity of mission programs encourages participation of women
at all stages of their lives. We tell the story of mission to others.
We offer emotional and financial support to mission workers and projects
around the world. We pledge through our congregations and the PW
organization. We make and purchase hospital supplies for Malawi,
Congo and Haiti. We promote special offerings, such as the Fellowship
of the Least Coin and the Presbyterian Hunger Fund, along with our
own Birthday and Thank Offerings. We provide much-needed assistance
to projects in our own communities. |

What's A Circle?
Members
of Presbyterian Women in the congregation are organized into
several groups called circles, that meet regularly to provide
an inclusive, caring community of women through Bible study,
prayer, fellowship, mission awareness and fun. Find a circle
that fits your style or consider creating a new one.
