We warmly welcome you to our website. Whether your social media journey or personal interest has brought you here, we trust that your visit will be meaningful, educational, and rewarding.
LECUSA was founded by members of the Liberian Episcopal clergy residing in the United States, led by the late The Very Reverend Emmanuel Wea Johnson, Sr., former Dean of Trinity Cathedral in Monrovia, Liberia, who came together to support colleagues in need and to assist the Episcopal Church of Liberia (ECL) in the aftermath of Liberia's civil conflict, which lasted for fourteen years.
The primary mission of LECUSA is to provide support and assistance to its members and to strengthen the work of the Episcopal Church of Liberia (ECL) through programs and projects, while operating in compliance with all United States laws and regulations governing 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. To advance this mission, we invite all visitors, friends, and associates to partner with us in supporting the maintenance, growth, and expansion of LECUSA.

Oh God who created all people equal in your image; thank you for the diversity of races and cultures in this world. Grant O Father that your holy and life giving spirit may so move every human heart in this gathering tonight; in United States of America and Liberia. That barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatred cease. That our divisions be healed and that we may live in justice, peace and love for one another. Show your presence for those of us who are inclined to differ and make all sorts of judgment in our own liking for the human race. Hear us Lord in these our prayers and supplications and grant that among all the changes and chances in our lives; the spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, trials and tribulations and we may glorify your name, when all the changes we seek are granted us, through the power of your holy spirit; and we finally love, care and respect one another for who we are; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
