The Episcopal Diocese of Kansas

The Episcopal Church is home to about 11,000 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.

Building for the future

A partnership between the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas, Grace Cathedral and the Bishop Kemper School for Ministry soon will provide much-needed space for all three groups.

A creative plan will allow the diocese, the cathedral and BKSM to break ground this fall. The diocese and cathedral will occupy new space just south of the cathedral, and BKSM will get classrooms through renovations to existing space.

New construction will provide the cathedral with a much larger first-floor parish hall and an expanded choir room, and the diocese will get accessible meeting and office space for members of the bishop’s staff.

BKSM, which offers classes for lay leaders and those preparing for ordination from four dioceses, will have spacious, state-of-the-art classrooms and an office in what currently is the cathedral’s lower-level parish hall.

Diocesan Convention

The 157th Annual Convention of the diocese is set for Oct. 28-29 at the Hilton Double Tree Hotel at the Airport in Wichita.

This will be a joint gathering with delegates and clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas.

Each diocese will have its own business meetings; other activities will be combined.
