Mission & Ministries
The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri created new mission and vision statements in 2021.
Our mission statement:
Walking humbly with God and our neighbors, we seek justice, act with love, and live the Good News of Jesus.
Our vision statement:
A world transformed by God's love, justice and peace.
Bishop Deon Johnson has appointed missioners from throughout the Diocese to engage us in new ministries. These missioners will join with diocesan staff and lay leadership already in place to help us bring our new mission and vision statements to life.
