The Binnie Clements Guild is a charitable organization unique to First & Calvary Church. Begun in 1928 in the Calvary Church, one of the two churches that merged to create First & Calvary Presbyterian Church, it was started by Calvary member Albina (Binnie) Parish-Clements with the aim of helping children in the Springfield area. The guild remains a vital women's organization today, continuing its mission to support children's charities.

​

Our Goals:

1.  Raise funds for children's charities in Greene County, Missouri

2. Create awareness of charitable needs for children

3. Promote positive fellowship among members

​

In addition to monthly meetings, the Guild holds fundraisers to support its children's grant programs.

​

If you have a heart for children and value friendship among women, we have a place for you in Binnie Clements Guild.

The guild has donated over $193,000 to Springfield children’s charities since 2013. The guild meets each month for a luncheon, presentation, and business meeting. Membership is open to women of all ages in the community. If you have a heart for children and value friendship among women, we have a place for you in Binnie Clements Guild.
