The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

The Episcopal Church is home to about 12,000 people in 46 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 46 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.

Wishing you a blessed Advent

Dec. 1 marks the start of Advent, the weeks that lead up to Christmas (and the start of the church year calendar).

Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas and is marked by an emphasis on expectation and preparing for the coming of Christ -- at his birth in Bethlehem, at his second coming to judge the world and as he comes into the hearts of those who claim Jesus as Lord.

Many churches and households use an Advent wreath to mark this season. It's made up of four candles in a circle, with one candle lighted on the first Sunday of Advent, two on the second and so on, until all four are shining brightly by Christmas.

If you or your church are looking for ways to help mark this holy season, Vital Practices from the Episcopal Church Foundation offers many resources >>HERE.
