Hurricane Resources
Preparing for any sort of emergency is a key part of the life of our congregations, and the peculiar geography of Southwest Florida makes preparation for disasters a critical task for clergy and vestries.
Although the disruption a disaster brings may be unavoidable, thoughtful planning can prepare your church and the families in your congregation to proactively respond.
Learn more about church and family disaster planning.
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.
Double Your Impact with the 2026 Bishop’s Appeal
This year brings a remarkable opportunity: for the first time in the history of the Bishop’s Appeal, every gift will be matched—dollar for dollar—up to $50,000 per fund through our endowments. That means your generosity will have twice the impact.
When we give together, our shared ministry extends far beyond what any one congregation can do alone.
Our Ministries
As a diocese, we walk with our congregations, celebrating their spiritual gifts and creating space to strengthen people’s relationships with God. From our Episcopal Youth Community to DaySpring Camp and Conference Center, and our growing multicultural ministries, we offer programming and resources for every age in Southwest Florida.

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.”
– The Right Reverend Douglas Scharf, Sixth Bishop of Southwest Florida
