Diocesan Archives

The archives is the repository for all the official and historical records of the diocese. Our collection includes a library, extensive document and photograph collections, parish registers and a growing collection of three-dimensional items from our closed churches.

The 6th floor of Bishop Tuttle Memorial building is home to the archives. What was originally space designed for three 2-room apartments for unmarried Cathedral clergy at the time the building was constructed, now provides space for our Library with room for reading and research, and for our growing collection of materials on clergy, Standing Committee, Diocesan Council, Parochial Trust Fund and COEDMO, congregations, committees, commissions, task forces, organizations and institutions, and the records of our bishops. The Archives of Christ Church Cathedral also have a room reserved for their collections.

Archivist Sue Rehkopf is happy to provide assistance for any congregation needing help establishing or maintaining their archives. And if your congregation is working on writing your congregation’s history, resources in the archives as well as the archivist are available to you. Sue is also happy to provide information relating to the history of the diocese and of any of our congregations, organizations and institutions.

    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.
