The purpose of Disciples Women
Unto you, O God, we give our thanks and lift our hearts in prayer. May your presence be with us and your love surround us as we work together as women of faith. Open our eyes to the needs of the world and fill our hearts with concern for all people. Guide us so that we may truly serve you through Jesus, Christ, our Lord. Amen

The foundation for all Disciples Women is our faith in God and the Lord Jesus Christ. The Cross is the pivot-point around which all our beliefs and activities revolve.
Our future as Disciples Women is built upon our heritage and the faith and vision of our foremothers. In 1874, Carolina Neville Pearre organized women of the church for mission work, creating the Christian Woman’s Board of Missions. Jessie Trout, in 1949, birthed the Christian Women’s Fellowship.
Disciples Women are strong. We are strong in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, our dedication to the church and our relationships with our families and our communities. We are strong because of our faith.
The energy-filled arms swinging up in gleeful arc indicate the joy of being a Christian and a Disciple woman. The joy permeates our lives as we serve our Lord in mission, in our church and in our world community.
Disciples Women embrace others. We are nurturing and all inclusive. We include women of all races and colors, of all nationalities and languages.
