The Purpose of Presbyterian Women
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves: to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study, to support the mission of the church worldwide, to work for justice and peace, and to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (USA) and witnesses to the promise of God’s kingdom.

Membership In Fairmount Guild
Presbyterian Women of Fairmount Presbyterian Church for tradition and simplicity have chosen to continue to be known as the “Fairmount Guild.” Any woman who supports the purposes of Presbyterian Women is encouraged to participate. Membership in Fairmount Presbyterian Church is not a prerequisite. The Guild offers a unique setting for women of all ages to give support to one another and address the concerns of not only Cleveland, but the world community. Guild presents opportunities for each woman to express and expand her Christian faith through study, affirmation of belief, and a shared effort in ministry.

Guild women determine their own leadership, program and budget while connecting their time, talents and funds to church wide Presbyterian Women. Members support the mission of the church not only locally, but nationally and internationally.

Three times during the year Home Circles will be held at members’ homes and two Circle meetings will be held at the church. Check the program schedule for dates and times. Any woman who has not been listed with a particular circle may contact the Moderators or any Circle Leader to be placed on a Circle’s Active or Associate roster. Home and church Circle meetings offer an especially important time for smaller gatherings to provide a caring, inclusive community.
