Presbyterian Women

Whether you are a new member of FPC or a long-time member seeking new connections, Presbyterian Women is a place for you. 

We have many small group circles and you are invited to visit all of them or join the one that inspires you most. These circle groups gather for bible study, to serve the community, and sometimes to enjoy a dinner together.

The PW Leadership Council is made up of dedicated and creative FPC women who give their time and talent to organize circle gatherings, service projects, luncheon programs, and so much more.

Whether you are new to FPC or are a long-time member seeking new connections, ALL women are invited to drop in on Circle meetings to meet the members and enjoy the fellowship. And, throughout the year, Circles welcome permanent new members into their groups.
