Presbyterian Women
Calling All Women!
Meeting Info
Women in the congregation are the very heartbeat of the church. All women are invited and encouraged to participate in the activities and fellowship of Presbyterian Women (PW). Meetings and special events are held periodically throughout the year.
PW meets the third Tuesday of each month from September through May to plan activities and upcoming events.
Meetings are typically followed by a brief social/luncheon for those interested in additional fellowship.

Our Hisotry
United Presbyterian Women (UPW) and Women of the
Church (WOC) share a common history from the time
of the establishment of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America in 1789 to the beginning of
the Civil War in 1861.
Their stories begin with women in local congregations
who responded with good deeds to the needs of
society. These were grassroots efforts by women to
testify to their religious beliefs, expressed by doing for
those less fortunate.
The Women’s General Missionary Society of the United
Presbyterian Church of North America, formed in 1883,
is the earliest predecessor or organized women’s work.
Over time the women’s organizations evolved and
merged. As recently as 1988, UPW and WOC jointly
established a new design to become Presbyterian
Women in the Presbyterian Church USA, known today
as PW.
