Our local chapter is part of a national church organization. We are a Christ-centred community committed to nurturing our faith and spiritual strength to enable us to be people of God in mission.
As women in mission, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we:
* respond to the reality of the world around us by entering into the lives of others, sharing our faith and by expressing our faith in action;
* support and affirm each other by accepting our differences, appreciating our varying abilities, mentoring and enabling each other;
* develop leadership skills and avenues for sharing talents and creativity;
* welcome all women and work toward justice and peace;
* nurture our faith and spiritual growth through prayer, Bible study and caring for each other.
The ELW meets at noon on the fourth Tuesday of every month (September - December and March - June) and are involved in extensive mission work.
