Membership
A Roadmap for Growth, Fellowship, and Service
The Philoptochos Two-Year Membership Plan is a comprehensive roadmap designed to help chapters strengthen membership, deepen spiritual life, and grow meaningful engagement within their parish communities. Developed by the National Philoptochos Membership Committee, this plan offers a flexible framework that chapters can adapt to their unique parish culture, size, and needs.
Structured around the liturgical seasons and the National Philoptochos Fiscal Year (January–December), the plan spans two years and is organized by quarterly themes, goals, and recommended actions. Together, these initiatives are intended to nurture fellowship, inspire service, and invite women of all ages to take part in the philanthropic and spiritual mission of Philoptochos.
Membership Growth
"Year One focuses on building awareness, welcoming participation, and establishing strong foundations for sustainable growth. Chapters are encouraged to highlight visible philanthropy and clearly communicate our mission."
This Two-Year Membership Plan is designed to be used as a practical guide and planning tool throughout the year. Chapters are encouraged to adapt the roadmap to fit their parish calendar, size, and unique community needs.
Strategic Focus
Sustainability & Succession
Year Two builds upon the foundations of Year One. This tool acts as your manual for leadership development and long-term chapter sustainability.
Continuous Engagement & Growth
Begin each meeting with a brief prayer or reflection.
Stay Connected
Chapters are invited to share brief information about their community to help the National Membership Committee stay connected throughout this two-year journey. Periodic surveys will be sent to gather feedback, celebrate progress, and learn how chapters are bringing this action plan to life.
Your participation helps strengthen our sisterhood, deepen our shared mission, and support continued growth in Christ’s love.
