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.

Join other women of the church for a fabulous spring mountain retreat weekend. Our speaker will be Rev. Grier Booker Richards who is the Associate Pastor for Discipleship and Adult Faith Formation at White Memorial Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, NC. This is a great weekend of intergenerational fellowship, study, spiritual growth, and relaxation at the beautiful Kanuga Conference Center. There will be plenty of free time for shopping, hiking, and exploring.
For Our Church, Community, and Each Other

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.
