Presbyterian Women

Presbyterian Women offers women in the church meaningful ways to live out their faith in the midst of a caring community of women. For more than 200 years such groups have strengthened the Presbyterian Church by playing a major role in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and witnessing to the promise of God’s kingdom.
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,
  • Support the mission of the church worldwide,
  • Work for justice and peace,
  • Build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.
 
We have a Monthly Bible Study from Horizons, a publication of Presbyterian Women, Inc. We have traditionally  sponsored a Bakeless Bakesale, Upscale Resale, Harvest Dinner as well as a Silent Auction and Christmas Tea – all as fundraisers for the many mission projects that we support.
 
We have raised and given away more than $11,000 each year with the help of the congregation and the community. All women who call First Presbyterian Church of Elk Rapids, their church are welcome, and all women who are members of First Presbyterian Church are automatically members. Come join us!
