Presbyterian Women -

Presbyterian Women of the Presbytery of Arkansas welcome you.

Everything we do as an organization and as a community is guided by our PW 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,
to support the mission of the church worldwide,
to work for justice and peace, and
to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

Anyone who supports the Purpose in any way is participating in Presbyterian Women—in spirit and/or in action! Presbyterian Women are aligned under this shared Purpose, but the gifts of the Spirit allow us to live into the Purpose in our own, unique ways. Some individuals or groups find themselves particularly drawn to one or two points of the Purpose. Other groups or individuals consciously work toward fulfilling all points. There are many faithful ways to live out the PW Purpose!

For most women, participation in PW starts in the congregation. Like the connectional structure of the church, Presbyterian Women in the Congregation has representation and contact with PW in the Presbytery. Presbyterian Women is connected and connectional—there is a lot of good work happening in PW all the time, from mission endeavors on the local level to the fulfillment of Thank and Birthday Offering grants. By giving so generously of our time, talents and treasures, Presbyterian Women assist with improving the lives of women, children, and families, locally, within the Presbytery of Arkansas and the world over.

Let Justice Roll Down: God’s Call to Care For Neighbors and All Creation

By Patricia K. Tull with Suggestions for Leaders by Rebecca Barnes

The 2024–2025 PW/Horizons Bible study

According to Scripture, the earth and its members belong to God. We are called to care for creation not only because God loves it, but also because a healthy creation supports human well-being. We are called to care for neighbors and creation with all our hearts, with particular care for society’s least powerful members who are disproportionately impacted by unjust systems. This PW/Horizons Bible study is an invitation to explore and to act, with all our hearts, in responding to an issue that impacts all life on God’s earth. Readers will learn about ecological systems, the challenges we face in this time of accelerated climate change, and the possibilities available to address or counter the impact of human-made stress on our environment. Further, readers will explore theological questions that point us to act and engage, in large and small ways.

Presbyterians for Earth Care are offering monthly webinars on “Let Justice Roll Down” Bible study on the fourth Sunday of each month through May at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Upcoming dates are Oct. 27, Nov. 24, Dec. 22, Jan. 26, Feb. 23, March 23, April 27 and May 25. Learn more here.
