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, society, and the world. – Women of the ELCA is comprised of 64 Synodical Women’s Organizations across the United States and the Caribbean that parallel the synods of the ELCA. Each SWO has a board whose members are elected at the SWO conventions by delegates from congregational units.
