Episcopal Church Women Diocese of Los Angeles

Join us in strengthening women’s ministries and fostering a vibrant community of faith across the Diocese of Los Angeles.

About Episcopal Church Women

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is a vital organization dedicated to supporting women’s ministries throughout the Diocese of Los Angeles. Our mission is to empower women in their spiritual journeys, providing resources and opportunities to connect, grow, and serve. Through partnerships with affiliated organizations like the United Thank Offering and The Order of the Daughters of the King, we strive to enrich the lives of women in every congregation.

The Role of Community

Faith and Fellowship

Community is at the heart of the Episcopal Church Women, offering a space for women to come together, share experiences, and support one another in their faith journeys. Our gatherings provide a nurturing environment where lifelong friendships are formed, and spiritual growth is encouraged.

For over 150 years, faith has been the cornerstone of our mission, guiding our efforts to uplift and empower women across the diocese. Through prayer, worship, and service, we seek to deepen our relationship with God and inspire others to do the same.

We believe that by fostering a strong sense of community and faith, women can achieve remarkable things both within the church and in the wider world. Our programs and initiatives are designed to support this vision, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to thrive spiritually and personally.

Empowering Women's Ministries

Leading With Heart Leadership Development Circles

In a world of constant change, adaptive leadership empowers us to uncover our authentic voices and callings. By embracing the circular leadership model, we nurture reciprocal relationships that honor and celebrate the rich diversity of culture, race, age, gender, personality, and ministry.

Our dynamic workshops, complete with engaging break-out sessions, explore the vital qualities, critical thinking, and actions that define Circular Leadership, steering away from outdated models of domination and greed. This journey is about mending our connections with creation and each other, fostering a deeper understanding of both the expressed and unspoken.

As we come together in the circle of shared leadership, we weave in responsibility and accountability, creating an atmosphere ripe for resurrection, renewal, and trust through God’s love and our personal relationships.

Spiritual Retreats

Join us for rejuvenating retreats and quiet days that offer spiritual growth and fellowship among women of faith.
