Held once every three years, Presbyterian Women’s Churchwide Gathering is an opportunity for Presbyterian women from across the country (and around the world!) to gather for worship, education, community-building, fun and renewal. Participants will enjoy workshops, forums, plenary sessions with inspiring speakers and worship. PW’s triennial Business Meeting—where budget, leadership and programmatic emphases will be decided—takes place in conjunction with the Gathering.
When is the next Gathering?
PW’s next Churchwide Gathering will be August 5–8, 2027, in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2027 Churchwide Gathering theme is “A Threefold Cord Is Not Quickly Broken” —Ecclesiastes 4:12b
