Our Life Together

There is a Basque proverb that says, "mountains do not need other mountains, but people do need other people." Our relationships and communities help guide us into a deeper knowledge of Christ. The Diocese supports the building of these relationships through lifelong formation offerings; the work of various committees and commissions; participation in ecumenal organizations; and through our own Diocesen conference, retreat, and outreach ministry sites.


Christian Formation

The Christian life is grounded in the conviction that a relationship with Jesus Christ leads to the transformation of our whole lives. The Diocese supports this work through a variety of ministries, including those focusing on lifelong Christian formation, congregational development, and discernment for ordination.


Diocesan Committees & Ministries

The work of the Diocese is supported by a number of committees and commissions. Some, like the Commission on Ministry, are mandated by the canons of the Episcopal Church. Others exist to address the specific needs and concerns of our Diocese and its members.


Ecumenical Partnerships

The West Virginia Council of Churches was founded in 1880 and is one of the oldest ecumenical partnerships in the nation. It currently includes fourteen denominations in the state, whose membership rolls approach 300,000. Together, this ministry operates programs for disaster assistance, substance abuse, prison ministries, and other important programs throughout our state.
