 Welcome to the website for the Diocese of the West
of the Charismatic Episcopal Church

The Diocese of the West of the ICCEC is a part of a movement within the universal church called convergence worship. It is a home for those who are seeking a church whose worship is fully charismatic, fully evangelical, and fully sacramental and liturgical. We are a communion of local congregations made up of people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and nations, who are worshipping and serving the Lord Jesus Christ in various ways and ministries. For a deeper look into who we are, click the "why us" button at the top of this page.

On this website you can link to congregations around the diocese. By doing so you will be able to get a taste of our communion and the life we live together in Eucharistic fellowship. Our diocesan newsletter is called The Current and you can read it online to find out what's happening around the diocese. You can also link to Cechome for international church news and events, or our BCP website to say your daily prayers.

My hope is that this site will be informative, and perhaps, might also lead you to join us, as we make visible the Kingdom of God until our Lord Jesus returns.

Grace and Peace,

+Douglas Kessler, Bishop of the Diocese of the West
