Historical Note

Presbyterian Women is a 200 year old national organization within the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America (PCUSA). It has an elective National Executive Committee which reports directly to the General Assembly of the PCUSA and plays an important part within the church. Presbyterian Women also plays a large part in supporting mission organizations and missionaries around the world. (NOTE: Presbyterian Women, n.d. http://pcusa.org/pw/history.htm, 28 October, 2005.)

The Presbyterian Women in the Synod exists to "build community, affirm women's calls to leadership, raise issues and concerns and to channel information to and from Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery and churchwide." (NOTE: Presbyterian Women, n.d. http://pcusa.org/pw/history.htm, 2 November 2005.)
