church women
Female faithful members
Church women are female members of a church congregation, often those actively involved in its social and organizational life.
The term suggests not just attendance but participation—serving on committees, organizing events, preparing meals for funerals.
The church women put together a potluck for the new pastor.
The phrase can carry connotations of traditional values and moral propriety.
