About
Us
Presbyterian
Women (PW) is a churchwide organization whose membership is open
to all women of the PC(USA) who choose to participate. PW intentionally
seeks membership that is inclusive of all racial ethnic and age
groups so that the organization reflects a vision of the whole
church as a community of mutual interdependence in which diversity
contributes to wholeness.
PW
gives strong support to the mission of the PC(USA) and determines
its own leadership, program, and budget. PW is organized at the
congregation, Presbytery, Synod, and Churchwide levels.
The
PW purpose is as follows:
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.
There
are organized PW groups in approximately 2/3 of the 110 churches
in the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. The PW Presbytery Coordinating
Team consists of 43 women with specific duties. The PWPCT meets
once a quarter, and sponsors a number of activities throughout
the year.
The
churchwide PW publication is Horizons magazine, which is issued
6 times a year. See link below for further information.
