Presbyterian Women, Inc., is the women’s organization in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). We are a community of more than 200,000 women who participate in Presbyterian Women (PW) and align our ministry and hearts around a shared purpose, the PW Purpose.
Purpose
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.
PW at Harvey Browne
Members of Presbyterian Women in the Congregation (PWC) are organized into circles, that meet regularly to provide an inclusive, caring community of women. These circles are an integral part of Presbyterian Women (PW), and are encouraged to use PW resources to strengthen and enrich this community of faith.
A circle is…
- Where faith is nurtured and growth takes place through worship, study, fellowship, and outreach
- Where women are challenged to stretch beyond their limits
- Where women move beyond the safe places of life and reach out to others
- Where Christian leadership is born, nurtured, and sent forth into ministry
- Where all women are welcome
Harvey Browne PW circles meet at the church the second Tuesday of the month, September – May.
Horizons Bible Study
The PW Purpose calls Presbyterian Women to nurture faith through prayer and Bible study. PW/Horizons Bible studies are prepared quite literally by and for Presbyterian women.
