Presbyterian Women (PW) is a churchwide organization
whose membership is open to all women. The members are women who choose
to participate in or be supportive of the organization in any way.
PW intentionally seeks the membership of women from all racial-ethnic
groups so that the organization may reflect a vision of the whole
church as a community of mutual interdependence in which diversity
contributes to wholeness.
PW gives strong support to the mission of the
PC(USA) and determines its own leadership, program, and budget.
Presbyterian Women is organized at all levels
of the PC(USA) in congregations, presbyteries, and synods as well
as General Assembly. The connectional system allows ideas and information
to continually flow back and forth to strengthen the work of Presbyterian
Women and the Ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
