The Episcopal Way

For Episcopalians, what is the connection between a parish church, diocese, national church, and Anglican communion?

The Episcopal Church contains and resides in a variety of structures. The smallest is the parish church, led by a rector, vicar, or priest-in-charge.

Numerous parish churches in a geographical region make up a diocese, which is governed by a bishop. The bishop is responsible for leading, supervising, and uniting the church to provide for the Diocese’s broader spiritual and physical welfare.

The Episcopal Church has 111 dioceses, including 11 in countries and territories outside of the 50 states.

Finally, the Episcopal Church makes up one branch of the broader Anglican Communion, which consists of 41 autonomous provinces throughout the world. Taken as a whole, the Anglican Church is the third-largest Christian body in the world, behind the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.

Little Fork is a unique and sacred place of worship. If you find God in places of retreat, come worship off the beaten path surrounded by cherry trees. Come to this place to be known by God and known by others. Little Fork is a small intergenerational congregation and the worship reflects that. Children and adults worship together. Work boots and fancy shoes stand side by side to pray and celebrate life’s big moments.

We'd Like to Get to Know You

The Body of Christ exists to care for each other. Sometimes we can be generous, and sometimes we receive generosity. Both are equal acts of faith and grace, and one cannot exist without the other. We thank you for your faith, grace, and generosity.
