Stay engaged with the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia (ECWW)
The Episcopal Church in Western Washington (ECWW) traces its history to the establishment of the Missionary Jurisdiction of the Oregon and Washington Territories in 1853. Admitted by General Convention in 1910, the Diocese of Olympia is made up of more than 31,000 Episcopalians in 106 faith communities in Western Washington. The ECWW geographic area stretches south from Canada to Oregon and west from the foothills of the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. In the Diocese of Olympia, we are people of God who proclaim boldly by word and action the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are inclusive; we are growing and learning; we are stewards; we are evangelists; we are on mission; and we are the church in the world. ECWW's congregations cover a whole range of sizes and stages of development. Several affiliated institutions and numerous outreach and social justice ministries as well as a number of multicultural ministries are supported by the whole diocese.
