The national organization of the Women of the ELCA is organized around three mission areas: Community/Growth and Action
- Community – To enable each woman to value herself and others as created in God’s image and redeemed through Christ; and to build up and celebrate relationships which are global, diverse and interdependent.
- Growth – To provide a variety of learning experiences, which strengthen each woman as a whole person, develop her potential and equip her for ministry.
- Action – To enable women to articulate and act upon their faith as disciples of Christ in all areas of life.
