Sion Presbyterian Church

PWC Mission

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 (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God's Kingdom.

Presbyterian Women's Symbol

The three figures have no distinctive features for they represent all women - young or old, of any nationality or ethnic background...a community of women...in Christ.  "Forgiven" is suggested by figures rising from the Bible.  One is studying, one is caring for others or nurturing as women often do.  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 - Trinity and unity.

The shapes surrounding the three women express energy, strength, and openness.  Our name, Presbyterian Women, ties us to our denomination.  The Bible resembles the Bible depicted in the PC (USA) seal.

The Book of Order states, "Insofar as Christ's will for the Church is set forth in Scripture, it is to be obeyed."  The symbol of the Bible therefore represents the WORD, Jesus Christ, the foundation of our freedom, and the women coming out of it show we are freed by our faith.
