Who is PWOC? With the advent of dependents in the European commands in the early 1950's, women’s organizations made their appearance in the chapels of USAREUR (US Army Europe). In 1952, the Nuremberg Post formed a group called "Protestant Women of the Chapel" becoming a forerunner of what would soon become PWOC-Europe. In 1955, CH Edwin Kirtley, USAREUR Chaplain, called for women in all chapels to form PWOC groups. He invited leaders of all women's groups in the European Theater chapels to a training and organizing conference in October 1955. One hundred and fifty women attended that conference and in those few short days, these women put together the basic organization that prevails today in PWOC. PWOC is a volunteer organization overseen by the Chaplaincy and designed to help Chaplains minister to women associated with the military, especially those who participate in a military chapel through Bible study and fellowship. Every woman who is an active participant in a Protestant military chapel, whether or not she attends PWOC meetings, is considered to be a part of Protestant Women of the Chapel. Although PWOC meetings are generally held at one particular chapel, women of all chapel communities are encouraged to participate in PWOC.

Theme pic Our Symbol of Purpose This is the primary logo for PWOC. It is a mark that represents the mission, vision, and values of the ministry of Protestant Women of the Chapel all around the world. Turquoise stands for the presence of God, which brings freedom, refreshment and the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit. His presence transforms us and enables us to make a difference in the culture in which we live. Theme vision statement As we abide in His presence, we are empowered to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to others in need. The Gold Letters and Olive Branch stand for God's love which is more precious than gold. In Psalm 36:7-9 are these words: "How precious is thy steadfast love, O God!“ The White Cross is the symbol of our Christian faith. It is white because that is the color of purity and cleanliness and represents Jesus' nature. The shadow shows the depth of the cross and our ability to enter into the refuge of Jesus. Dark Blue stands for freedom, which we know as Christians. Jesus died and we are free from sin. Jesus says: "…you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 Theme verse
