Women's Association
All women of the Church are included in this friendly fellowship which serves the Church, the local community, and beyond. The Women’s Association’s many fundraising efforts help support local benevolences, as well as special projects for the maintenance of our buildings.
Fellowship is also an important feature of the Women’s Association. The women meet throughout the year over brunch, luncheon, or dinner to conduct business or to enjoy special programs.
