Diocesan Council

Between Diocesan Conventions, the Council oversees the budget and program goals of the Diocese, carrying out priorities adopted by Convention. Council develops a proposed budget to be ratified by the next convention. Members assume and accept the role of public relations and goodwill toward individuals and congregations facilitating connectedness within the Diocese. Members accept assignments, work on task groups, and attend regional, committee and commission meetings as necessary. The Diocesan Council includes the bishop, and two members (one clergy and one lay) representing each of the regional ministries. They can be contacted at diocesancouncil@ecww.org.
