Women Walk Boldly

We are Empowered

Empowered by grace from Jesus Christ, the North Carolina Women of the ELCA walk boldly in faith. Daily we take up the cross to serve others and to witness in our community and the world. The love and power of that faith flows through us and out to all those we encounter, especially those in need. We are women of all ages, with varying gifts and callings. We walk together, some leaning and some bearing another’s burdens. We are a bold sisterhood of faith!

Reflections on the NC Women of the ELCA Annual Gathering 2024

The 2024 Annual Gathering of the NC Women of the ELCA was held in June at Lenoir-Rhyne University.  Although smaller than pre-COVID Gatherings, it was wonderful.  Read one attendees reflection here and see the photos below.  I hope you will join us for the next Annual Gathering on June  20-22, 2025.
