Join us for Presbyterian Women in the Congregation (PWC)
The Presbyterian Women in the Congregation (PWC) exists to build community, affirm women’s call to leadership and communicate to and from Presbyterian Women in the Presbytery. Here at First Pres Laurens, Presbyterian Women welcomes women of all ages. We are organized within the church by “Circles.” Circles are a small group opportunity for fellowship, Bible study and many opportunities for service and ministry both within our church family and in the community.
