The Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church (RMEC) is an independent, nationwide network of Episcopal laity and clergy, dioceses and parishes, schools, agencies, and other institutions - all with a common commitment to address the effects of addiction, in all its forms, in relation to the church's mission.

RMEC’s mission is to serve all those affected by addiction who have lost their health and freedom. Our ministry seeks to:
• Help the addicted and those who love them connect with spiritual resources and find lasting recovery.
• Witness to Christ’s unfailing mercy by welcoming unchurched members of Twelve-Step and other recovery programs into an Episcopal faith community.
• Raise the awareness of clergy and other leaders about the disease of addiction and the redemption and grace found in recovery.
• Strengthen recovering Episcopalians in the work of their recovery and help proclaim the Gospel in the world and carry their recovery into the Church.
• The Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church goal is to renew and revitalize the Church’s capability to recognize and address the serious social ills surrounding the pathological use of alcohol, drugs and other addictive behaviors (gambling, overeating, sex, (etc.) and suggest an appropriate Christian response.
