Women in the Church (WIC)

What is WIC?

All women who attend Town North Presbyterian Church are considered part of WIC (Women in the Church), sometimes referred to as Women’s Ministry. The purpose of WIC is to equip every woman to know Christ personally and extend His kingdom in her life, home, church, community, and throughout the world.

Not only is WIC an integral part of the overall ministry at TNPC, it is part of the nation-wide WIC ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. We also belong to the North Texas PresWIC, which affords us opportunities for fellowship, ministry, and instruction beyond the walls of our own church.

TNPC WIC Mission Statement

The mission of WIC is to equip and encourage the women of Town North Presbyterian Church to seek Christ’s wisdom in their daily lives and to reflect his image to those within the church and those outside the covenant community.

Our Goal and Objectives

The overall goal of WIC is to glorify God and ground its members in the Christian faith. This goal is accomplished through the following objectives:

To provide spiritual growth to women through prayer, fellowship, discipleship, and service;
To know and love one another as sisters in Christ;
To be personally committed to blessing one another;
To set examples to others through leadership and involvement;
To learn from one another through regular fellowship;
To enrich the church ministry by serving others through committees, programs, devotions, Bible studies, prayer, and Christian endeavors.
