Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women (PW) is an organization within the greater PC(USA) church where women live out their faith in a community of caring and hope. We have a proud history of involvement in our local church, the PC(USA) church, and in our local community.

You become a member of PW as soon as you join the church and are able to participate in all the ministries, outreach, and offerings that PW organizes.

Our goal is for you to be involved in the things we doing throughout the year so you can make new friends, build deeper relationships, support others, and join in our support of our community partners.

For Our Church, Community, and Each Other

Presbyterian Women is one of the most active and vibrant leadership groups within First Presbyterian Church. We strive to create a community where women come together to support the church’s mission to be For Christ in the Heart of Charlotte.

We work in our local community.

We support one another and the church through congregational care.

We participate in small groups where your spiritual life is nurtured, and larger congregational events.
