Women of the ELCA (WELCA)
The ELCA Churchwide Women's Organization (CWO) is present in three formats, each being independent and maintaining individualized constitutions, including the overarching Churchwide Women's Organization (CWO), Synodical Women's Organizations (SWOs), and the Congregational, Inter-Congregational, and Special Units. WELCA, the ELCA women's ministry, maintains independence and is not a church auxiliary. The mission of WELCA is Mobilizing women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ and their purpose is "As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus, 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."
