MISSION STATEMENT: Mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.
OUR PURPOSE: As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ,
and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts,
support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action,
and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.
Immanuel Lutheran in Greenwood
CONSTITUTIONS:​
The constitutions are living documents that explain how we will live our lives together as a community of women created in the image of God. From time to time additions and deletions are made to the constitutions (through the process for change that is laid out in the constitutions themselves), as our circumstances change.
Changes were made to the Churchwide Constitution and the Model Constitution and Bylaws for a Synodical Organization at the Twelfth Triennial Convention (2023) and are reflected in the PDFs offered here.
Ready to REVITALIZE your unit or START a one in your congregation?
SC WELCA has put together a TOOL for you to use to help you do just that. The link below is copy of a survey to use in your own congregation.
-
Hand this out on a Sunday to all women attending your service(s).
-
Set out a basket or something to collect them.
-
Encourage the women to prayerfully consider their answers.
-
Then one or two of you can tabulate the results and compare those preferences to your current activities.
This will work for starting a unit or revamping the one you have. Use our online Handbook for other ideas and the few requirements needed to be considered an active unit. Be open to great input from your ladies and the new ideas to use for fellowship, service and Bible Study.
Any Board member will be happy to assist in your planning if needed.
