Presbyterian Women at Columbia is an organization formed to support the women of our congregation and our community.  Every woman who calls Columbia Presbyterian her church home can be a Presbyterian Woman (PW).  All that is required to be involved is a desire to spend time with other women who share CPC’s mission: encouraging you to encounter God, to enter into a  life-changing relationship with Jesus, and to allow the Holy Spirit to show you your place in God’s work.

 

Presbyterian Women Circles

Columbia Presbyterian Women sponsor a number of small groups of women, called ‘Circles’, who involve themselves in Bible study as well as mission activities, both local and international, while building lasting relationships. Our Circles meet monthly as follows:

Presbyterian Women Gatherings

We hold four Saturday Gatherings each year, which are open to everyone and include good food, interesting programs, and fellowship.  The Circles take turns sponsoring these events.
