EEWC was founded in 1973 as an international organization of women and men who believe that the Bible supports the equality of the sexes. Its mission is support, educate, and celebrate Christian feminists from many traditions as:

• to encourage and advocate the use of women's gifts in all forms of Christian vocation.
• to provide educational opportunities for Christian feminists to grow in their belief and understanding.
• to promote networking and mutual encouragement within the Christian community.
