From the earliest days of the PCA, women cared for and supported our new denomination through the annual Women in the Church Love Gift Offering.

To date, $2,983,710 has been given as God has used women in the church to love and support the ministries of the PCA.

Listed below are the needs/projects from PCA Committees and Agencies coupled with the response of God’s people.

The purpose of the annual WIC Love Gift is to promote denominational connectionalism and demonstrate our corporate helper-design as women in the church. The gift rotates annually among all the PCA Committees and Agencies.

Showing the annual WIC Love Gift in your church does several things: It educates the people in the pew, promotes unity and greater understanding of the PCA and provides good opportunities for monies to be appropriately channeled to specific ministry needs.
