Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women is a churchwide community of women within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), connecting hundreds of thousands of women across the denomination in faith, study, fellowship, and service. Its purpose is simple and far-reaching: to nurture faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church around the world, to work for justice and peace, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the whole church.

Here at Guilford Park, Presbyterian Women is one of the most vibrant expressions of that calling. Much of our life together happens in circles—small groups of women who gather regularly for Bible study, prayer, and genuine friendship. Beyond the circles, our PW community leads retreats, supports missions near and far, cares for members in times of need, and gives generously to ministries that reflect Christ's love in the world. Whether you are looking for deeper study, lasting friendships, or hands-on ways to serve, there is a place for you here.
