Presbyterian Women

Email: pw@presbyterianireland.org

PW incorporates the former Presbyterian Women's Association and the former Young Women's Groups with a total membership of around 14,000 within 500 groups. PW Groups are envisaged as women's fellowships in which women are encouraged to become Christians and to become Christ-like. In addition to supporting mission at home and overseas, each group is to seek ways of actively reaching women in its own area for Christ.

Motto: Living for Jesus

Mission Statement and Aims: Presbyterian Women encourages women to become disciples of Christ.

Presbyterian Women aims to highlight the need for:

1. Love and unity
2. Obedience to God
3. Christian living and spiritual maturity
4. Service using gifts, time and money
5. Local and global mission

The administrative work of PW, including the Wider World publication, is carried out in Church House where staff in the office keep members up-to-date with all aspects of PW. The staff undertake a range of clerical and administrative duties including the deputation diary for deaconesses.

PW supports missionaries and deaconesses by paying a grant to the Board of Mission Overseas and the Board of Mission in Ireland.
