Our ACWR community is, above all else, passionate about preserving the legacies of the amazing women in the congregations we serve. This passion keeps me motivated in my own work.

The monthly meetings and the camaraderie that we've had, all of the professional help and insights that I have been given, and just seeing and working and listening together—all of that has just been wonderful for me for these last couple of years.

One of the benefits we get at ACWR is the camaraderie and the willingness to assist. If there's a community that needs help, it's not hard to find someone who can assist virtually or in person. I think that kind of one-on-one relationships and assistance isn't something you're going to find in most organizations.

There’s a level of camaraderie to ACWR; you know that people are bringing their skill sets and sharing that generously with each other.

I am grateful that there is a group of people who understand what I’m dealing with at work. Our field is quite niche, so having the support system of ACWR is a huge benefit.

ACWR is accessible. Though it’s nationwide–in fact, continent wide–it really encourages communication and guidance on different levels. The peer-to-peer communication is very responsive.

ACWR is relevant. It's helpful. When I hear about things at ACWR,  I'm like, ‘Oh, that happens to me, too!’ Or ‘Oh, I can use that too!’
