Description
Our purpose is to provide resources, peer support and networking connections for Presbyterians involved in social welfare and justice ministries. PHEWA has also worked, since its creation by General Assembly action in 1956, to make the church more responsive to the needs of those too often excluded or on the margins of the church and of society, providing those much needed voices and perspectives. PHEWA is a ministry of the Compassion, Peace & Justice Ministry, Presbyterian Mission Agency, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Although we are a 501(c) 3 membership organization, we serve the entire church.
