Pastoral Care and Spirituality Ministries

Caring for the needs of others on a physical, emotional and spiritual basis is at the heart of The Episcopal Church. These ministries provide opportunities to serve others as well as be served by the Church.

If you would like to request prayers for yourself or someone you know, please fill our our prayer request form.

Dispersed Religious Orders

The Canons of the Episcopal Church have a rather narrow definition of a "religious order," which includes common property, living together in community, and vows of celibacy, poverty, and obedience. However, to the larger world 'religious order" includes what the Canons call "Christian communities." These communities tend not to live in one place, but are usually spread out geographically. They include both single and married members. Vows usually include obedience, but instead of poverty, the vow of simplicity. Instead of celibacy, the vow is of purity. Because Christian communities tend to be dispersed, we use the term "Dispersed Orders."

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.

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.
