Congregational Development Resources

The Episcopal Church Foundation
ECF helps Episcopal faith communities develop strategy, leadership, and financial resources for ministry. Their Vestry Papers and planned giving resources are great tools for parishes.

Forward Movement
Forward Movement is perhaps best known for its Forward Day by Day, its daily devotional booklet widely used throughout the Church. The publishing company also produces many other innovative resources to encourage spiritual growth in individuals and congregations.


For more information about Congregational Development, please contact the Rev. Canon Doris Westfall.

    Welcome from Our Bishop Find a Church Diocesan Calendar Clergy Resources

    We believe in a loving, life-giving and liberating God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe God loves you -- no exceptions!

    We invite you to be a part of our faith journey.

    The Rt. Rev. Deon K. Johnson is the leader of our diocese. He was elected as our bishop on Nov. 23, 2019, and ordained on June 13, 2020, at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.

    Learn More

    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.
