Welcome to The Watershed

Welcome to the first newsletter of Water and Wilderness Church - The Watershed.


Water and Wilderness Church is more than a church, it’s a movement—a carbon-neutral watershed community of people who believe that nature is God’s heartbeat. We believe that, especially in this time of climate crisis and racial and political strife, the earth is calling us home.


Through outdoor worship, online book studies on wilderness spirituality and eco-Justice topics, and nature-based retreats, our watershed community offers hope and belonging for anyone, anywhere, all the time.

WWC Leads Eucharist Service for Forma Retreat


On January 23, Father Pete led a WWC service for the Forma retreat. Forma is the Network for Christian Formation for the Episcopal Church and beyond. It is a ministry of Lifelong Learning at Virginia Theological Seminary and closely partnered with the Office for Formation Ministries at The Episcopal Church.

No Bad Weather...


Did you know that WWC worships in all seasons and in all weather conditions?


We believe that there is "no bad weather - just bad clothes!"


January was unusually cold in the Mid-Atlantic, and as you can see more in our Instagram video here, we loved being out in the snow!
