WHO WE ARE
We are Episcopal Church Women of all ages, ethnic origins and socioeconomic backgrounds who hold a variety of views. However, the common denominator of our members is love of God and the wish to do His work.
Mission, Vision & Role
Mission - Centered in congregations, the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) empowers women to do Christ's ministry in the world.
Vision - Our vision for all women of the Episcopal Church is that we become a vibrant blend of all ages, coming together as a peacemaking, healing part of the Church. We aspire to be a Godspark - shining and sharing the love of Christ.
Role - The Role of the National Board of ECW is to:
1. Model and share best practice in Communication, programming, leadership, and governance
2. Develop, support, and inspire leaders at all levels: local; diocesan; provincial; national
3. Represent and build support for ECW in the wider church and the world.
(Adopted by the 2006-2009 ECW National Board during the March 11-17, 2007 meeting)

The Cross represents Christ and our service to Him in the world. The Circle stands for our hope for wholeness in our lives. The out flowing lines from the center depict the many works of the Episcopal Church Women, going out into the world. The intertwined lines represent our lives centered in Christ. |
