The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas is home to more than 10,000 people in 44 congregations in cities and towns across eastern Kansas. Our congregations make up our diocese, and our diocese is part of the wider Episcopal Church, which in turn is part of a larger, global community of Christians in the Anglican Communion.

In the Episcopal Church there is room for your questions about God, faith and the church. There’s a place for you here.

You are welcome to worship at any of the congregations of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas. Inside the doors of our churches -- some large, some small -- you will find services that offer beauty, warmth and a sense of community.

You can find an Episcopal church near you in eastern Kansas by using the "Find a Congregation" drop-down menu at left, or to see a list of cities where there is an Episcopal church, please click >>HERE.
