As disciples of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Presbyterian Women are committed to finding, nurturing, and building community in our circles and cities and, truly, throughout the world!
Presbyterian Women’s community building is often rooted in mission or justice and peace work. Volunteering for reading programs or assisting at food banks connects us with members of our community we may not otherwise have met. These loving, mutually beneficial interactions grow God’s Beloved Community, reminding us that we are all, foremost, children of God regardless of how we are labeled or perceived.
Tell us your story about how you build community.
At the national level, Presbyterian Women offers programming that intentionally builds community with sisters around the world. These programs offer the opportunity for mutual sharing, consideration, and building up of one another!
