Church Groups
Church Women United is a national movement of Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox and other Christian Women. We intend to grow in our faith and extend our vision of what it means to be Christian women of faith in society today. We intend to strengthen visible ecumenical community, to work for a just, peaceful, and caring society, and to use responsibly and creatively, the resources God has entrusted to us---our intelligence, our time, our energy, our money---as we carry out the mission of Christ through Church Women United

Our mission – Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus 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 to witness to the promise of
God’s Kingdom.
We accomplish this mission through coordinating the efforts of the three Circles, assisting in the fellowship meals following funeral services, completing various mission projects, creating opportunities for fellowship, and supporting our congregation through fundraising and projects.
