Who We Are

CWU Quadrennial Priorities for 2024 - 2028

Peace/Shalom/Salam
Peace is defined as a tranquil state of mind whether among nations, within countries, at home or within self.

Freedom and Justice - Human Trafficking
Incarceration is the state of being confined in prison, typically as punishment for a crime. Thousands of innocent people experience human trafficking which is a form of modern-day slavery, involuntary servitude and labor trafficking.

Quality and Equity in Public Education
Although public education in the US is available to most school-age children, laws setting mandatory school attendance and minimum and maximum age limits for required free education vary according to state and local laws.

Fair and Accessible Housing
Housing is a basic human right, just as every person needs sleep, food and water, all people need a safe place to live. The lack of stable, affordable housing is the foundation of many of America’s social problems, including poverty, homelessness, and disparities in education and health care.

- organized into more than 1,000 local and state units working for peace and justice in the United States and Puerto Rico;
- supported by constituents in state and local units and denominational women’s organizations;
- impassioned by the Holy Spirit to act on behalf of women and children throughout the world; and

Along with the Church Women United statement above, we give an opportunity to worship, study, pray and work together with other women of faith in our community to make a more just, caring and peaceful world!

We are happy to talk with any individuals or groups that are represented in your church. We are happy to send bulletin announcements and have posters for each of our celebration days.
