Water and the Word
What does it mean to live to the measure of the full stature of Christ?
The Rt. Rev. Doug Scharf, the Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile, Dr. Elisabeth “Lisa” Kimball, and many more will lead this two-day conference focused on discipleship, evangelism, spiritual formation, and congregational vitality. Using Ephesians, Chapter 4, as our guide, we will explore our calling to grow and mature in our Christian faith and embrace being fully alive in Christ.
Forming Disciples
We believe that discipleship is about forming a new way of living with Jesus. Rooted in our Baptismal Covenant, we equip and empower our congregations to love and serve all God’s people as we walk together in the Way of Love.
Developing Leaders
How is God speaking to you in your life? Jesus’ Love is deeply rooted in all of us, calling us to be a shining light for one another. We believe in nurturing this call within every person, empowering lay and ordained leaders to consider where God is leading them to serve. There are many ways to discover your path of service in the Diocese of Southwest Florida. We invited you to learn about opportunities like Cursillo, the School for Ministry, Vocation Information Evenings, and serving as leaders on a variety of committees and councils.
Embracing Differences
You are welcome. You are loved. No Exceptions. Join us in our mission to bring God’s healing power and reconciling love to our community by authentically honoring and embracing our differences.
Transforming Communities
We live out our call to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ through ministry and outreach that makes a positive impact on the lives of our congregations and surrounding communities. Are you feeling God’s call to serve? Discover where your gifts can make the greatest impact in your community.
Join Us at an Upcoming Event
We offer a variety of events that serve clergy and lay leaders, multicultural and women’s ministries, adult and youth spiritual programming, and much more.

FAITH IN ACTION
“We are forging a new path, we are facing new challenges and we are encountering new possibilities. Now is the time for us to seriously, intentionally, proactively, and above all, prayerfully listen to what the Spirit of God is calling us to do and be in this moment of history.”
