About Us

As Presbyterians, we are "connected".  This is also true for us as Saint Andrews Presbyterian Women (SAPW). 
We are connected to the larger organization of Presbyterian Women (PW) throughout the world.  Below are
statements concerning the overall PW purpose and symbol.  Click here for more information on Presbyterian Women on the PC (USA) web site.
 

The Presbyterian Women's 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.

To build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and
witnesses to the promise of God's Kingdom.

The Presbyterian Women's Symbol

The three figures have no distinctive features, for they represent all women - young, old, of any nationality or ethnic background.  A community of women...in Christ.  "Forgiven" is suggested by the figures rising from the Bible.  One is studying; one is caring for others; and the middle figure is in a position symbolic of praise.  The three figures suggest the Trinity.  The whole design suggests a triangle within a circle - the Trinity and unity.
