Episcopal Church Women Diocese of Southwest Florida

Episcopal Church Women (ECW) are a diverse tapestry of ages, backgrounds, and perspectives. Yet, at the heart of our members lies a shared love for God and a common desire to enact His work. Centered in congregations, the Episcopal Church Women, empower women to do Christ’s ministry in the world. Join us as we embark on this journey of faith and service together.

Supporting All Women in Their Christian Mission

Founded in 1891, the Episcopal Church Women support and connect all women in their Christian mission and ministries, sharing faith and fellowship. Each parish has an ECW chapter; these groups work together across the Diocese of Southwest Florida to share in their common mission of serving Christ. The ECW vision is for all women of the Diocese to become a vibrant blend of all ages, coming together as a peacemaking, healing part of the Episcopal Church.
