Presbyterian Women
Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery (PWP) exists to build community, affirm women’s calls to leadership and serve as a link between Presbyterian Women in the Congregation and Presbyterian Women in the Synod. At the most basic level, every PWP group:
- Elects its own leadership — the coordinating team
- Plans and implements a yearly program and determines its own budget
- Participates in PW programming, such as use of the Horizons Bible study, celebration giving and mission interpretation
- Supports the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) worldwide through education, interpretation, global awareness and financial and material gifts
- Develops the leadership abilities of women
- Preserves historical records of PW
- Maintains connections with PW at other governing body levels
- Benefits from the services of the PW leadership network
- Encourages support of PW’s affiliations
The programming for a Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery group depends on the level on involvement the group has committed to. Some PWP groups are very active with multiple projects; others meet once or twice a year for projects that are particularly important. Check with your PW in the Congregation to find out what your PW in the Presbytery is doing.
