The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Women of North America is an organization of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America.

The purpose of the Antiochian Women is:

• To develop among women throughout the Antiochian Archdiocese a spirit of Christian leadership, awareness and commitment as taught in the Holy Orthodox Church.

• To foster among women throughout the Antiochian Archdiocese a genuine expression of love and service though works of charity.

• To instill among women throughtout the Antiochian Archdiocese and the community at large a sense of fellowship and a deeper understanding of the heritage and traditions of the Antiochian Archdiocese and the Orthodox Church.

Participation in the Antiochian Women can truly include every woman in the Archdiocese in that we are all called to be members by our personal acceptance of the charge “take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it” (Col 4:17)

Without exception, each and every one of us is called to serve our Lord and our Church in ways that allow God’s love to shine through us, for the benefit of others.
