What Is Province V?
Learn more about Province V’s networks, events, and how to get involved:
Think of Province V as a ministry collaboration zone—a kind of “neighborhood” within the national church, where leaders, congregations, and dioceses come together to learn, grow, and do more than we could alone.
Why It Matters:
Province V is one of nine regional provinces of the Episcopal Church in the United States, encompassing 11 dioceses in the Midwest—including the Diocese of Wisconsin. Together, we form a supportive network of dioceses working collaboratively to resource one another, share ministry innovations, and live into God’s call across state and city lines.
Province V mission is:
Connect. Support. Collaborate.
In Province V, we “tell it in the light” (Matthew 10:27-31), celebrating God’s promise of renewal within the Episcopal Church in the Midwest. To do this, we:
Connect people to people and people to resources.
Support each other in a variety of ministries, resourcing from within and without.
Collaborate across multiple dioceses to build capacity for demonstrable impact.
By being part of Province V, the Diocese of Wisconsin has access to:
Shared formation and training resources
Province-wide networks for Young Adults/Campus Ministry (YACM), Dismantling Racism, creation care, and more (Click here to view them all!)
Events and conferences (like the Big Provincial Gathering)
Project incubators that help local ministries thrive
A collaborative voice in broader Episcopal Church governance and mission
We are stronger together—and Province V is how we live that truth out in the heart of the country.
