Through the liberating Gospel of Jesus, we are seeking justice, spreading Christ’s love, and walking humbly with our God.

Welcome!

We are the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina, the historic diocese in the Eastern part of South Carolina in union with The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. As the Diocese, we continue to carry forward the work of our Lord Jesus Christ, just as generations of Episcopalians in South Carolina have done since the late 1700s, confident that by moving forward together in unity and faith, with God’s help, we will flourish.

Your participation in the life of our diocese and its parishes, missions and worshiping communities is encouraged.

The Episcopal Church always welcomes you!
