Our Mission - To mobilize women to boldly act on their faith in Jesus Christ. Our mission is to proclaim the Good News in all that we do. When God calls us to do something, God is always in partnership with us to get it done.
Purpose Statement - As a community of women created in the image of God called to discipleship in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.
Monthly Meeting - Women of the ELCA meet once a month for Bible study, organization updates, and fellowship. The meeting is scheduled for the third Thursday of each month.
