Bishop Visitations

The Rt. Rev. Deon Johnson was ordained June 13, 2020, as the Eleventh Bishop of the Diocese of Missouri. One of the bishop's duties is to regularly visit all the parishes and missions of the diocese.

At these visitations, the bishop preaches and presides; meets with the vestry, chapter, or bishop's committee; and often visits or teaches during forum or formation time. Many congregations schedule baptisms, confirmations, dedications, or special blessings during his visit.

Visitations are scheduled with the Bishop's executive assistant, Jillian Smith.

  • 2020 Customary for Virtual Visitations
  • Bishop Visitation Form

When the Bishop is visiting, a special collection is taken during the Offertory. The Offices of the Bishop send envelopes and half-page bulletin inserts for this offering.

Approximately 10,000 people throughout Eastern and Central Missouri find their faith home with us. About three-quarters of our members are in the metro St. Louis area, but our diocese reaches much farther than St. Louis. You will find more than 40 Episcopal churches, missions and faith communities as far north as Kirksville, as far west as Columbia, and as far south as Poplar Bluff (and many points in between).

If you are looking for a church home or a just a faith community to visit, we invite you to explore The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri.
