Worldwide Regions
The MCCW organization is organized into seven regions.
While the MCCW worldwide board oversees the global organization, we have military-affiliated women all over the world and are organized into seven regions spanning the globe. Each region has a team of women who volunteer their time to create events and community in their states or countries.
The MCCW Northeastern region is a historically rich, fourteen-state area that offers our sisters in Christ a unique spiritual journey of faith to discover more of our Church and His Grace through the eyes of the early settlers to present-day trailblazers. We embrace all DoD-adjacent women spanning from New York, Ohio, and West Virginia to all the states that rest between Maine and Virginia, including the District of Columbia. The MCCW Northeastern area is excited to welcome and enrich you through the many exceptional, spiritual MCCW programs and our bi-annual regional retreat, which usually draws over 100 women in our region.

The Western region encompasses all of the Mountain and Pacific time zones except for Alaska. Military locations in California, Colorado, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona, plus six other states, are united as we explore God’s majesty and embrace His call to inspire others with our testimony from seaside to the mountain tops.

The Pacific region of MCCW includes two OCONUS locations diverse in God’s majestic
beauty; Alaska and Hawaii. In these two locations, one can find themselves soaking
their feet in the mighty oceans, to sledding down snowy slopes. From the Aloha and
Ohana spirit, to the adventurous explorer; the Pacific area holds God’s love for us
through all the beauty that surrounds these OCONUS locations. MCCW Pacific region is
happy to assist and support the spirituality and growth of our Chapel groups.
