Presbyterian Women

Statement of 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 witness to the promise of God’s Kingdom.

At First Presbyterian Church we have several PW circles, each meeting monthly on a different day and time, nine months out of the year, and each studying the same lesson plan. Our study in 2023-2024 is Sacred Encounters: The Power and Presence of Jesus Christ in Luke-Acts.

Meeting days and times are below. If you would like to attend any of these circle meetings, please reach out to the circle leader or email the church office for contact information.
