ECW Retreat 2019

Camp Mikell
May 3-5, 2019


The Episcopal Church Women of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta held their Annual Spring Retreat at the Camp Mikell - Camp and Conference Center 

 All Episcopal women are members of the ECW by virtue of their membership in the Church. We are women of all ages, ethnic origins and socioeconomic backgrounds. 

Our Mission
We are Episcopal Church Women committed to one another and called to be witnesses of Christ.
Our challenge is to provide a safe place where every woman is free to become the person 
Christ created her to be.
We are called. We are different. We are one body.



About the ECW
All Episcopal women are members of the ECW by virtue of their membership in the Church. We are women of all ages, ethnic origins and socioeconomic backgrounds. 

The Episcopal Church Women meet in parishes across the Diocese of Atlanta and gather together twice a year for a daylong meeting in the fall and a weekend retreat in the spring. For more information, consult the organization's website.
