History
The Women’s Department of the United Church of Jesus Christ (Apostolic) was organized in 1965 under the leadership of Mother Calvertia M. Hoskins. Each year a fall conference was held in various locations in the Eastern and Midwest regions of the United States to inspire and promote the total development of the spirit-led woman, until 2004 when the conference began convening during the National Convocation.
The following women have emerged over the years to lead the national women’s department:
Elect Lady Alberta B. Saunders
Pastor Betty Gregg
Mother Jeanette Thompson
Elder Esther K. Faulkner
Lady Winsome Saunders
Co-Pastor Ernestine Lewis
In the year 2000, Elder Esther Faulkner gave the department its own unique name, Women of Royalty (WOR).
