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.
