Presbyterian Women (PW) is a churchwide organization whose membership is open to all women of the PC(USA) who chose 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 reflects 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.

     PW is organized at all levels of the PC(USA) - in congregations, presbyteries and synods as well as General Assembly.  This connectional system allows ideas and information to continually flow back and forth to strengthen the work of PW and the ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
